the period under review amounted to
the sum Of $373, 900. all dutiable goods.
Out of the above stated 81 .4S0, 900 Of
imports, We may fairly estimate that
$500 900 represents machinery for sugar
mills, agricultural implements, lumber
and other material required for the de-
yelopment of the resources OF the COM
try. while the large sum of S93O.OOO
represents our importations Of dry
