Of the total exports in 1913 from the United States, 19,689,066
short tons went by rail or inland waterways to Canada, a market in
which little foreign competition is met, and 2,110,416 short tons were
sent to Bermuda and the West Indies also exclusively American
markets. It is apparent, then, that of the very small proportion of
the coal output which is exported nearly 90 per cent went into
markets where it was practically without competition, and only
‘bout 10 per cent entered competitive markets.
The competitive foreign markets which promise most for the
development of the coal export trade are South America and the
Mediterranean countries. In both these markets the chief competition
 has been British. Some German coal formerly went into
South America and Italy, and after the war efforts will presumably
be made to revive this business, but the great bulk of the coal imported
hy all the countries indicated has always been British.
The following table shows the coal exports of Great Britain, Germany,
 and the United States to these countries in 1912 and 1913:
