World trade rises amid US and British expansion
The article notes a broad rise in international trade with the United States posting imports of 1.51 billion and exports of 1.41 billion, and a total trade surplus for the year. It highlights Germany and the United Kingdom increases, calls out the United States ranking third in foreign trade, and discusses a rapid growth in fish culture driven by the U S Fish Commission and its shad hatchery program on the Potomac Susquehanna and Delaware rivers. It argues that fish culture will lower food costs and stresses government ownership of natural resources to resist monopolies.
