We publish herewith the report Of the Collector General OF
custom. for the quarter Just elapsed. From this statement,
complied in Colonel Aliens usual lucid style, we CLEAN some
.aterestinz items relative TO The movement Of trade 10 our PORK
ar the last three months.
The export Of Sugar, our Hawaiian staple, amounted to
s.3Ts 452 pounds during the past quarter. In the previous
uarrer the exports Of this article amounted TO 7,4e4,s95
5ounds, showing an increase of 1855, 6sI pounds in the export
Z sugar last quarter, over that OF the preceding one. The
roiaI quantity Of sugar exported from this kingdom during Inc
asst six months was ~15Is43,347 pounds, which shows an in
rease Of III 100 pounds over the total quantity Of sugar ex-
5orted from this country during the corresponding six months
fls16. However, as we noticed on q former occasion, a large
yuaptity Of sugar was reserved from Immediate expectation in
nucipation Of the Reciprocity Treaty, SO that the figures rep
esenfing the increase above mentioned require to be compar-
d with previous figures: in 1875, the total amount of sugar
xported In The first six months Of that year, was 2,595.s27
ounds, showing an Increase of 4,247 $50 pounds in the totai
iuanuty of sugar exported in the six months elapsed Of 1877
yver that Of the corresponding six months Of 1875.
An important increase is also noticeable in the export of
,olasses, az well as of rice and paddy, during the past six
r1onths. The export Of coffee, TO whose production the ch-
late and soil of these islands are so favorable, has increased
v 35 o33 pounds during the same period, as compared with
he corresponding period Of last year Bananas show an in
rease Of 1908 punches, exported over the previous years
gure. for The same period; and this industry is likely to as
lme an important development, as soon as our increased
team Communication is established with San Francisco, thus
.curing for the banana growers here a quick transit for their
reduce to that market, where it is sure to meet with a brisk
emand and high price.
The export Of goat skins and hides shows q considerable in
: ease; as well as of wool, which is 81, 026 pounds over
lat Of the corresponding half of last year. In the total value
r all exports from the Hawaiian kingdom during the quarter
lt elapsed there is IN increase OF 1926 65s. So over that of the
otaI exports for the corresponding quarter Of 1876; and the
1crease in the total value Of all exports for the first six
lonths OF this year, over that Of the total exports for the cor
aspouding half year of 1876, is $sOo,ss6.55.
As one Of the results OF the Reciprocity Treaty, we remark
lat q brisk increase is observable In the importation of for
gn goods from European ports, during the half year just
sLapsed, as compared with the corresponding period o.: 1876.
his increase may be calculated at $40, 900; and may be ex-
4 Iained by the fact that the new Hawaiian tariff on several
rticIes Of European merchandise will 60 into effect in Octo-
er next, which importers thus seek to forestaII. Before con-
luding these statistical remarks, we may mention that as
slany As ten new sugar plantations have been established
since the Reciprocity Treaty came into operation-a proof of
he advantage which It Is undoubtedly comforting upon these
stands by putting hitherto dormant capital into circulation.
