The Monthly Summary of Commerce and Finance shows ten months of 1906 foreign trade tonnage: sail 5,182,929 tons and steam 27,900,288 tons entered in the year ending June 30, 1906. Americans owned 7,080,524 tons of foreign trade, under a quarter of the total. Special Agent Grist warns that all‑water routes from Europe undercut expensive transcontinental and Pacific paths, delaying goods to the Orient until Atlantic North China lines are established, raising costs and reducing competition.
