Trade Willi Denmark The National City Bank of New York- publishes a series of remarkable figures I In connection Willi tns new commercial agreement of the United Stales with Denmark and tho movements of mer chandise from the United States to that country prior to tho beginning of the war, up to the entry of this country Into tho war and subsequently. Tho figures embrace some slxtv.flvc different commodities, chiefly foodstuffo and certain lines of manufactures In a summary giving tho figures represent ing tho value of exports of domestic merchandise from the United States to Denmark since 1806 It Is shown that such exports amounted to $18,661,000 In 1013 and 115,686,000 In 1014, Then for 1015 came a sudden increase to ,74, 281,000, while 1016 and 1017 were 52, 000,000 and 55,000,000, lespectlvely, ror 1913 to date the total Is only 14,970, 000. The National City Bank explains these figures as follows: "Denmark, prior to the war, bought about two-thirds of her imports from Germany, Great Britain, Itussla and France, while nfter the war she was compelled to look to the United States for a very considerable proportion of that which she formerly bought from her nearby neighbors. With tho fall-off of shipping facilities and the restrictions necessarily placed, after entering the war, upon merchandise passing to coun tries adjacent to the Central Powers, our exports to Denmark dropped from 167. 000.000 In the fiscal year 1917 to slightly less than 85,000,000 lu the fiscal year 1918. The bank's figures show the totals of these sudden fluctuations In the ex ports to Denmark, especially of the prin cipal articles of trade.'' When these figures were shown to a banker jesterday his comment wan that the fact that the National City Bank and other lartre financial Institutions are taking such a deep Interest In promot ing a foreign trade among the merchants of this country " in Itself of more Im portance than these figures would show, and that It will be the fault of th.e mer chants and manufacturers ot this coun try If they fall to grasp their posslblll.
