The local waters are iliinffected hy

inis made the ucw Baltic market more
Important jthun twin- before.
Prior lo the war,this ninrkcf was of
small Interest to tlte I'niled States.
Except for Denmark and Sweden, It
was dominated commercially hy Ger
many, American imports were neg
ligible, and the Stars and Stripes were
seldom seen In the Baltic. All this
has been changed. Copenhagen, the
gateway to the Italtle. Is now entered
by an American vessel every fourth
day, on an average, the year round.
Most of the Americnn exports there
still go to Sweden ami Denmark. For
the tlst-al year of 11)22, Denmark Im
ported $30,000,0f*l worth of Amerkan
goods and Sweden $80(600,000. Little

Imports from the United States for tlte

many export end Import firms, und
other large American business con
cerns have general agencies und their
own representative# In Copenhagen.
Secretary Hoover's ivpresentntlve,
Magnus Stvensson, when he went to
Europe to supervise the distribution of
American foodstuffs In Scandinavia
and Ihe Baltic countries unhesitating
ly chose Copenhagen for his distribut
ing center. The same conditions which
determined this choice logically point
toward Important co-operation between
An.crlcan exporters and Danish tiler-
chnnls. The American gets along very
well with the Dane, as a rule.
Americans directly Interested under
stand the Importance of the great
market pround the Baltic sea. Den
mark and northeastern Germany.
Sweden, and northern Russia are the
old Baltic trading places, but since
the war rapid development lias over
come some backward conditions in
Finland, Esthonla, Latvia, Lithuania
and Poland. Combining an area as
great as that of France and the I'niled
Kingdom and a population only u few
millions less than that of France,
those new republics will have to he
reH-oued with.
For the great future trade of tin
whole Baltic region Denmark is mak
ing preparations and Improving the
port of Copenhagen, which is the Dar
danelles of tlie north, the port ItPing
convenient for transshipment, storage
and warehousing. Large steamers
bound for the Baltic with cargoes for
several ports find it unprofitable to go
unloading from one harbor to another.

duties to pay for goods in transit, and
whence they ran have their'cargoes

Are you spending your money

Are you by patronage helping
