Honduras Is rapidly assuming import
ance among the larger countries in Cen
tral America. IL has increased fifty per
cent in population within the last ten
years. The lands outside of the main
towns are being bought from the govern
ment by citizens of the United States
and by Germans. The object of these
new settlers is to establish banana plan
tations. The soil of Central America
speculiarly adapted to the growth OF
this fruit, which can be raised at what
seems to be ridiculous expense. The
market for bananas in New York is good
aud the sale of them pays a profit OF
about twenty per cent. The purchase of
these land has netted the government
about u, 500, 600 during the last year,
and as It owns about 1000, 900 acres,
there is fair prospect of its enriching
Itself within the ensuing five years.
