_ This table shows that Great Britain supplies the Argentine Repub- 

 lic with about one-third of its needed merchandise, and, notwith- 

 standing this prominence in its trade and control of its land and 

 water avenues of transportation, takes less than one-fourth as large 

 a value of merchandise in return. France stands next in its propor- 

 tion of the Argentine supplies, and though sending less than two- 

 thirds as much as Great Britain, receives more than three times as 

 much as that country, paying $5,0()(:).000 or $6,000,000 difference. 

 Germany occupies the third place while the United States comes 

 fourth, sending goods valued at more than $7,000,000, and receiving 

 in return little more than half as much, simply because there hap- 

 pened to be a demand for agriculttiral implements and other Amer- 

 ican products.
