1895 amounted to about eight and one

in March, 1894, sometimes having two
doctors in attendance. During that
time my appetite was very capricious,
sometimes very good and at others

much discomfort When resting on

THE Won HOLT BLOCK.

Of the total export business for 1896,
approximately n per cent was done
from the port of Honolulu, 10 per cent
from Kahuilui, 13 per cent from Hilo,
and per cent from Mahukona. The
data is not at hand to show to what
countries Hawaiian products were sent,
but there is no reason to believe that
there has been any marked change
from former years. AS the most of
Hawaii's export trade is carried on the
first nine months of the year, it is not
probable that the exports for 1896 will

The Government has constructed
three school houses during the year

CUSTOM HOUSE RETURNS.

Figures That Show Hawaii's In

ANY review Of Hawaii's progress in

without an insight into custom house
returns. With its power Of producing
agricultural products far in excess Of
its ability TO consume, with no manu-
featuring industries to supply the
needs Of a steadily increasing popu-
lation, the national barometer of Ha-
waits financial and industrial con-

respectively. Australia's trade with
Hawaii dropped from s97, ,415.S7 in 1895
to s79, 1880 in 1896, and on the other
hand Canada's business went from
S25, 5,12473 in 1895 to s41,975.25 in 1896
France picked up from s21, 1920 in '95
to sSO,O7155 in '96; the Pacific Islands
from s974.S7 to s4,546.65, and all other
countries from 21,793.2O to s3O,O7l55.
It is in the table of exports that one
finds where Hawaifs prosperity comes
in, and why it is that there is money in
the country to build new blocks, start
new plantations, and give the coffee
industry a lift The following table
speaks for itself:

dition may well be said to be located
in the custom house.
It is impossible to obtain statistics
at this time for a complete comparison
of the year 1896 with 1895, but suf-
icient data is at hand to demonstrate
that the business done with other
countries will far exceed that of the
most prosperous year ever before ex-
perienced; also that the balance of
trade is largely in Hawaii's favor A
comparative table of imports from diff
ferent countries for the first nine
months of 1895 and 1896 respectively
shows an increase in the total amount
of nearly two million dollars. On the
SOth of September, 1896, the imports
from all countries amounted to $514O,-
O37.23, which is within half a million
of the value of imports for the whole
twelve months of 1895. Allowing that
the imports during October, November
and December just passed increased in
the same proportion as in previous
years, the figures on December 81,
1896, viii show the value of the total
imports for the year to have been
nearly three million dollars in excess
of that last year, and a full million
in excess of any year recorded. The
last three months Of the year always
swell the import list, and as the holi-
day business of the year was as large
if not larger than formerly, the esti-
mate of an increase of over two mil
lions in the total imports may be con-
sidered fairly conservative.
AS regards the proportion of bust
ness done with the different countries,
the figures remain about the same as
formerly. The Pacific ports of the
United States stand as usual at the
head of the list, having handled over
"A per cent of the goods coming TO
Hawaii, as compared with 1873 per
cent during the same period of 1895.
The increase in dollars and cents over
the nine months of last year is 1885,
1920.
The Atlantic ports of the United
States show falling OFF from last
year amounting to SSO,OOO This may
be due TO a difference in the time of
the arrival of packets from Atlantic
ports, or possibly to a diversion of
trade from Eastern to Western cities.
It is possible that the business of the
last quarter viii make change more
favorable to the American cities of
the Atlantic.
More business was done with Great
Britain than last year by something
over $500, 900, and it is highly probable
that figures at the end of the year
will show that Great Britain when
compared with other nations has in
creased its export trade to Hawaii
something over one per cent
Import trade with Germany has fall
len from $77,266.O8 in 1895 to $45,-
374.5S in 1896, a decrease of sSO,S91.45
Both China and Japan have increased
their business with this country, al
though when compared with the total
import trade China shows a decrease
of nearly one per cent, and Japan:
increase is less than one-tenth of one
per cent. As compared with their last
years record, the increase from China
and Japan is sS5.O6S.1S and $5S,4241'
