Alaska Trade At Hich Mark In 1919
John W. Troy, territorial customs collector, says Alaska’s 1919 trade with the United States and foreign nations was possibly the world’s strongest per capita. Imports and exports totaled 109,652,339 dollars with a 31,000,000 dollar trade balance, about 1000 dollars per white resident. Gold shipments declined, described as the year’s distressing feature amid high mining costs. Population fell over the prior two years, but last year showed a net gain of 971.
