in every family for immediate use Persons travel
ing should always have bottle of this remedy with

IL Is SAID that the prospects for large immigra-
tion for 1868 are by lateTng. owing to the
depressoiIs in trade and business in this country.
though, if there should be a prospect of war in
Europe, many will come notwithstanding the uncer
tanty of getting employment. These considerations
may apply TO such as are without means and are de-
pending upon daily labor, but 10 men having suff-
cent means 10 buy small tracts of land, will
have greater inducements than ever before, oy-
ing TO the high prices of proysonsof all kinds which
now seem TO be permanent, and the progress of sew
era Western railroads through choice farming sec
tions, where land can be had at nominal rates Fur
ther people of this class in Europe arc each year be
coming better informed regarding the opportunities
in the West and we confidently predict that if the
number Of immigrants this year be not quite large
the accession of superior class will more than com.
pensate for diminished numbers. Several companies
and individuals of which have the aid of State
funds are now in Europe representing the claims of
their various localities This is an enterprise of re-
cent origin, and wo may expect considerable results

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1868-02-29

ii We should take the usual average of other
countries for n population of G0,O0O, it would
amount to several millions of pounds. The ma
tiv"s generally do not much sugar, unless in
the larger settlements, and the total home con-
sumption does not exceed one million pounds.
Rice, paddy, coffee. wool, fungus and hides
show an increase, while sugar, molasses, pulu,
goat skins, tnllow, cotton, oils and whalebone
show decline. The general condition of the
agricultural districts being prosperous, the de-
cline can only he temporary, and the present year
will probably show change for the better in all
branches Of agriculture.
The following have been the exports of the
Kingdom for the past year, as prepared by the
fs,II..tnr t.euerul
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1868-02-29

fthc total importations, 1t will he seen that
over one million in value are from the United
States, and SI43,67l from Europe. This con-
firms what h,s been long supposed would be the
case that the United States, but especially Cali
fOrnia, will eventually absorb most of our import
trade, il does now our exports. Being our
nearest neighbor. Tcopcd with an industrious,
wealthy population, possessing everything We
want, and willing to take in return all our tropi-
cal products, the relation between the two coun-
tries must become still more intimate and the
trade destined to still greater increase.
If the collector would classify our exports, in
the samc manner as is done with the imports,
showing what countries our customers, it
will furnish interesting table. An extract
from the BuLefiH, inserted IN our last weeks
commercial article, gives the valuation of the
whole imports from these islands into San Fran
cisco at II ,3O3, ,G3S, "A follows:
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1868-02-29

Although both our imports and exports have,
during several years, approached very nearly to
two millions, they have failed to reach that sum,
while the past year shows material falling off
III both. Taking these statistics as the basis,
the trade of the islands has not been as large nor
as active as during the two previous years, and
this, we think will be corroborated by tho exper-
ionce of the leading merchants. There has been
less disposition to venture into new enterprises,
and greater feeling of uncertainty and want of
confidence in such enterprises than has existed for
several wears previous.
Yet we C,nnot argue from this state Of things

IlOe a2.9o2 20 s,s4o II 627

BY referring to the table in another column
showing the commerce of the islands for % years,
it will be seen that the falling off in tonnage is
in even a larger proportion than the number of
vessels.
The Advent of Steam.
One of the most encouraging signs of progress
is the establishment of steam line, by the Cal.
and Mexico Steam Nav CATION Company, connect
ing this port with San Francisco by monthly
steamers, subsidized by the American Govern
ment. At present there is bat one vessel,
which leaves Honolulu and San Francisco every
thirty-fve days. The company hold themselves
ready to put a second steamer whenever the
trade demands it. This change will probably be
made before long, especially should the treaty be
ratified.
BY this line, passengers and mails can go
through from Honolulu to New York, or vice
versa, in from thirty 20 thirty-f,e days, with as
much comfort and as little cost az is found on any
steam route in the world. For travellers and in
valids no healthier trip can be selected than to
these islands, whose unriyalled climate is the
theme ofendess praises with all who have Wis
tied them. Excellent accommodations can be had
here for strangers at all seasons of the year. An
interisland steamer and numerous fine coasting
schooners afford rapid and frequent conveyance to
every part of the group. Foreigners are becom-
ing settled here, and country farms and farm
houses to be met with in almost every district
and village.
Still there is abundance of land for enterpris-
ing settlers, where oranges, lemons and other
fruits can be successfully grown, and where su-
gar, rice cotton, cattle, sheep and horses can be
successfully raised as in any other country. M
dustrious farmers and their families are ne,
and, with capital, can find inducements to loea .
Land is obtainable by lease purchase. Its val
ue depends much on its location and the improve
ments.
Sailing Statistics.
The following is a list of the vessels leaving
this port for San Francisco, and clso from San
Francisco to this por:, during 1867, and their
passages:

Revenue from Duties, &c
Notwithstanding the falling off in the value Of
imported dutiable goods, the customs revenue
shows an increase over that of 1896. This il
probably owing in part to the inc'ease in the
quantity of spirits imported, which py duty of
$500 per gallon. The items OF storage and
wharfage show increase also. Tie following

twelve days each.

PASSENGER STATISTICS.


The figures below show the arrivals and depart
urcs of passengers to be more nearly balanced
than for several years previous In 1866 the ar
rivals showed an excess of 224. The figures,
however, are not a fair exhibit. For instance,
many officers and seamen discharged from ships
are not entered as passengers arriving, many OF
whom remain and locate here. This is the case
with the bulk of our Portuguese population.
Still the following table is as near the truth as
it is possible to come:
