4 hasty glance at the export table shows
an increase in the value of domestic pro
duce exported to the extent of 81 ,S74. ISL IS;
in the value OF domestic goods furnished
as supplies amounting to S25.3OO and Il
decrease in the value of foreign goods ex-
ported of S12,S9029 making II total in
crease of value in all goods exported of
S1,S36,391 80
Most of the leading articles of value
show large increase over last years ex.
ports, sugar leading the list with an in
crease of 2S,965,O72 lbs: moasses shows Il
gain of 62,992 gals; rice 322,G60 lbs; of
paddy, which did not appear in the tables
last year, 102,370 lbs was exported; wool
shows a gain of 147,173 lbs; tallow 9S.962
lbs; salt 2S7a tons. Coffee, on the other
hand, shows Il falling off of sO,596 lbs,
fungus, 1888 lbs. Pulu shows slight
gain of 2,795 lbs, and other articles exhibit
comparatively little change either way
1t is interesting to note where our
principal articles of export are taken.
The Pacific ports of the United States re-
ceived the greater part of our sugar,
molasses, rice, paddy, coffee, bananas,
hides and skins, tallow, betel leaves, and
wool. British Columbia took II small por-
ton of our sugar, molasses and rice,
Australia and New Zealand received the
greater part of our pull export, the Pa
citic Coast only taking S,344 lbs. The
Pacific Islands took n little sugar and rice
and few other unimportant items, and
4,2s2 lbs of fungus and 1902 tons of salt
was sent to China.
The amount Off exports and imports
from other island ports contributes largely
to the general total for 1SSl-mo so than
ever before. Kahiilui shows a large gain
IN the matter of imports over the previous
year of S363,462.2l; Hilo follows with an
increase of S10,301 .03; Kawaihae, 81, 237 Is;
Lahaina, S1,l94, Kealakekua had no i'm.
ports to report. The total increase Of
imports at the above ports amounts to the
handsome sum of S3S3,1l442.
