SummaryResumen

The *sun* reported on trade investigations by the National Bank of Commerce showing that the Dominican Republic doubled its imports and exports during World War I. While German trade with the republic was completely eliminated by 1917, U.S. exports to the country increased to over $16,000,000 for the fiscal year ending in June 1918. Economists viewed this substantial commercial growth as evidence of significant economic expansion.

El *sun* informó sobre indagaciones mercantiles del National Bank of Commerce que evidenciaban que la República Dominicana duplicó sus compras y ventas exteriores durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. Si bien las transacciones alemanas con el país quedaron completamente suprimidas hacia 1917, las exportaciones de los Estados Unidos a la república superaron los 16.000.000 de dólares en el año fiscal concluido en junio de 1918. Los peritos económicos consideraban este sólido crecimiento mercantil como síntoma de un notable auge productivo.
