ACCORDING to the San Francisco
Commercial Report for the month of
March, 1886, the Hawaiian Islands
make a very creditable showing.
Hawaii stands third on the list of con-
SINNERS Of San Francisco exports, and
only lacks few thousand dollars of be-
ing second on the list In the order
of total exports consumed, Great
Britain heads the list at 81, o3,o45,
which includes the cereal exports Of the
Pacific Coast. Next comes New York
city, which consumes $248,6So worth
of San Francisco produce. The Ha-
waiian Islands follow New York with
the figures lowered only to $243,oS5,
thus taking the most prominent place
in the Pacific and riyaling the
great American metropolis on the At
lantic coast. The Empire of China
follows Hawaii with $2a8,aI7, Mexico
lowers the figures TO $Io9,o46, and
British Columbia is the last place of
any commercial importance, which
raises the amount above one hundred
thousand dollars and reduces it below
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
The following may be taken as aver
ages of the Pacific Coast exports con-
sumed: Of barley, 5,o3S centals
valued at $4,000, were sent to New
York; 4,65I centals valued at $6,o2S
were sent to Hawaii, and 725 centals
valued at $Io7o we're sent to British
Columbia. Of flour, 35,7S4 barrels,
valued at $I34, S67 we're shipped to
China; 5o,953 barrels, valued at $IoS,-
oo3 we're shipped to the United King
dom; 1910 barrels, valued at $34II6
were shipped to Central America; and
3,739 barrels, valued at $IA79o were
shipped to the Hawaiian Islands. o.
wine, New York took IS,aao gallons
valued at 5000; Great Britain tool
2,766 gallons, valued at $I,7ao; anc
the Hawaiian Islands took 1903 gal
Ions, valued at $2,5Sa, besides import
ing gold coin from San Francisco tc
the amount Of $5o,2oo.
The item of wine alone is most sig
ni6cant to us, showing decreased ex
port from San Francisco to these Isl
ands Of spirits, and an increase O
good, wholesome wine. Upon these
Islands the wine imported Is largely
consumed by the Portuguese, who
have been accustomed from infancy tc
wine, and consequently dislike spirits
in the main. There is but little doub
that drunkenness could be reduced il
the Hawaiian Islands by the Govern
ment raising the license for the sale o
spirits and granting special licenses fol
the sale Of light wines and beer. This
it seems to us, would be a practica
method of advancing the cause oi
