and cigars and cigarettes. In 1894 these

OUR TRADE With
THE PHILIPPINES
Bulletin of the Agricultural
Department.
Americas Commercial Interests in
the Islands.
Leading Exports and Imports of Our
New POssessions-Trade
With Spain.

While the war waged by the United
States against Spain last summer vas on
the broad ground of humanity, the Ameri-
can people at this time, finding Porto Rico
and the Philippine Islands in the hands
of this nation, are justified in considering
the relation of these islands to the COM
merce OF the world. In order to meet the
demands for information relative 10 the
commerce of the Philippines the Depart
ment OF Agriculture will soon issue bulls-
tin on the trade of these new possessions
Frank H. Hitchcock who prepared this
document, has made the most painstaking
researches of official documents of all coun-
tries which relate TO the commerce of this
group Of islands. and the results are en-
bodied in the forthcoming bulletin.
1t appears that the value of the exports
from the Philippines has been gradually
decreasing for many years, but this con-
dition is due 10 reduced prices rather than
to reduced quantity. In 1897 the total
value Of the imports OF the islands is given
as being about $4,000, 600 in gold, while
the exports were about $2l 600 ,000 but it
is believed that these estimates are low.
In 1898 50 per cent of the trade was divided
among the United Kingdom, China Tin
N4udlLS IlbnSkOlSD- spain, anu iLt lutltu
States. The United Kingdoms share,
amounting 10 14,207, S32. was 1882 per cent
Of the total: Chinas, 1886; Spain's, lS45,
and that OF the United States, l03S.
Ii will no doubt be a surprise 10 most
people 10 learn that America already has
so much of a foothold there, and another
surprise is that Spains trade is so small,
being only about So 0O0, 900 more than this
country's There is this difference, how
ever, that most of SPANS trade is made up
of exports while the greater part of our
trade is imports The imports from the
United States in 1898 amounted 10 1856,
zoe. and the exports 10 the United States
TO 81 g94. .S97. The total imports from all
countries for the same year amounted TO
SIS, $40 502 and the exports 10 So, ,lS3, ,223.
The Philippine imports consist chiefly OF
manufactured articles. and OF these cotton
goods is the most important item. In 1884
the imports Of cotton goods amounted 10
s., ,S77, I3S and the imports were about the
same for the previous year. This is trade
which can surely be greatly increased. and
one which ought to become OF material
benefit to the cotton manufacturers of this
country. The interest which the agricul-
turists OF this country have in the islands
may be based upon the following tabular
statement Of the agricultural imports from
all countries for the year 1894:
