TRADE: or HAWAII.
Report OF Com. Kenny 10

.,s rhsi, Goods United states
Matset for Coal

The British Foreign Once has iusi
published an exhaustive report IT the
trade oi Hawaii viewed In the light
% the anDNation 90 the United
States. The report was complied
by MIR. kenny the British Act
ing Consul General In Honolulu. The
total value of 10 import ana export
trade OF the islands last year was So
Ig7. $40 of which GlNg2.S1g was the
value Of the Imports and A3.3Oliel
that Of the exports The export OF
sugar last year amounted % 232,33l
tons, an OF which went 10 the United
states. The share OF the United States
an the import trade was very nearly
Il per cent. while thar of Great Britain
aud her possessions was nearly II per
cent, the Temaindor-ll per cent
being distributed equally between Ger
many, China. Japan, and all other
countries. I'm the exports the share OF
the United States is still larger. and
amounts to 1892 per cent, or prdcu-
esuy the whole trade. Sugar forms S6
per cent. Of the total export trade OF
Naval. In imports, British manu-
tacturers are heavily Handicapped by
distance. heavy freights and tarlh
varying from 10 to % per cent. Most
American goods are imported free UNI
der the reciprocity treaty. One sttraC-
tive feature OF American trade Is tho
cheapness OF the packing cases, which
are frequently not charged for, while
the charge for cases OF English goods
~ extremely high; further. one Of the
chief reasons for the transfer TO the
United States OF the trade in glassware,
tools implements, wOodenware, etc, Is
said to be that English manufacturers
are slow 10 adopt the light styles and
new shapes that are in demand in the
Hawaiian market Coal for steamer
use is imported chiefly from British
Columbia, Australia, and New Zealand.
British cottons have declined in impor-
lance, and appear likely TO decrease
still more, and. for various reasons
eheapness and better quality-Ameri-
can cottOns are taking their place. In
che better class OF printed goods. ac-
cording TO Mr.. Kenny. the British man
afacturer more than holds his own
still. the American competing in this
class OF goods with the French rather
than the British producer. The sugar
industry is prosperous and all the
plantations are paying large dividends
mainly owing to the reciprocity treaty
with the United States. but also to the
enterprise and intelligence of the plan.

methods of production and treatment
