 A PICTURESQUE NATIVE BOAT AT BUENAVENTURA : COLOMBIA 



bought three-eighths of her imports from 

 us. Brazil spent in our country approxi- 

 mately one-half of her money for imports, 

 and Chile gave us practically the same 

 proportion of her foreign purchasings. 

 Colombia was an equally good customer 

 in proportion to her total importations, 

 while Peru gave us nearly two-thirds of 

 her total foreign orders. More than two- 

 thirds of Venezuela's foreign business 

 was done with American houses. Ecua- 

 dor was also a good customer, looking to 

 us for 45 per cent of her importations. 



Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay gave 

 American exporters a smaller percentage 

 of their orders — one-fifth in the case of 

 the first two, and only an eighth in the 

 case of Paraguay. 



In turn, we bought more than half of 

 the exports of Chile, Colombia, Peru, and 

 Venezuela, nearly half of those of Brazil, 

 and nearly a third of those of Argentina.
