TRADE WITH JAMAICA.
EXPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES CON.
sTANTLY ON THE INCREASE

Kingston Jamaica Nov. 1.-THE Collector Gen.
erals review Of the report OF the colonys trade
during the financial year just closed has recently
been published. II Is In many respects Document,
of more than ordinary interest and even immedi-
ate importance not merely TO the people OF
Jamaica but to all foreign traders having CONNER
cial relations with the British West Indies
For number Of years the exports OF the United
States to the British West Indies In general and to
Jamaica In particular have exhibited steady In
crease. proportionate to the detrment OF the Eng
lsh monopoly that previously existed. The bulk Of
West Indian food supplies. as a consequence OF
natural conditions. Away came from the United
States but the Improvement In the trade relations
specifically indicated in the report is OF more
general character from which arises the immed-
ate interest.
The statistics OF trade for the year under review
show that B1 per cent OF the entire value OF I'M
ports was received from the United states, as
against All per cent from Great Britain. On this
fact the Collector makes the significant comment
that for the first time in the history OF the colony
the value Of imports from a foreign country has
exceeded the value OF those from the mother
country.
Under any circumstances within the range OF
normal trade relations this would be satisfactory
from the American point of view. But. as matter
of fact it's Importance is greater than that For
the Improvement noted does not concern the normal
trade in food stuffs In which on the contrary for
various abnormal reasons there was actually
notable decline the amount Of $3.50 600 during the
wear The heavy increase. amounting 10 a total OF
90 per cent over the previous years trade In the
value OF American imports, took place under the
head Of manufactured articles principally textiles
generally similar improvement, II less striking,
is noted in the American trade with the other Brit
ish islands As Is usually the case with gradual
growths this matter has for the most part been
looked upon as mere matter OF course. ana II
particularly thought OF at all latterly II was for
the purpose OF comparative Illustration OF the vol
ume of character OF the trade that could be deyel
oped with Great Britain under the favorable condi'
tions of direct regular and swift steam communica-
tion which would enable the West Indies con-
centrate their export trade on the British market.
and where they would also make the bulk OF their
purchases-to the detriment Of the American trade
interests in both directions.
This. according to present appearances is thought
by many coonists to have proved visionary
scheme SO far the undertaking has proved too
gigantic in comparison with probable practical
suits to attract British capital. At any rate, the
specIic scheme put forward has proved failure.
For this in Jamaica al least. the colonists
are becoming once more anxiously interested in the
possibilities of settled permanent American trade
under the proposed reciprocity treaty.
