TRADE WITH OUR COLONIES.


Business With Cuba, Porto Rico and
tho Philippines increasing.
Washington, April 10.-Acting Sec
rotary of War Meiklejohn gives out
for publication some interesting statis-
tics regarding the trade of the United
States with the island of Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines, prefacing
them by calling attention to the fact
that normal conditions of trade have
not yet fully been restored between the
islands named. TIA returns for Feb
ruary show an increase of imports
from the islands into this country
amounting to s37440S, and a corre-
spending increase of exports from the
United States to the islands of $685.
26S as compared with the same month
year ago.
The trade of the United States with
the Philippines, it is said, begins to
show the natural growth due to the
direction of the earnest attention of
'iua:ican exporters to the archipelago.
: :,i!e the exports from our ports to
IL. Philippine islands for February
Ct last year amounted to only $1,9O7,
for the same mouth this year they are
more than nine times as much. being
$19,529. For the eigth months ended
with Feb. 28, 1898, they were only $685.
235, while for the corresponding period
of the present fiscal year they show a
gain of nearly 10 per cent, reaching
$l17,021.
For the eight months of the fiscal
year the imports from Porto Rico to
the United States gained $60,004 in
value over the former years, being
$5s5,sSi, against $525,sS4. The trade
balance between this country and
Porto Rico is now in favor of our ex-
porters.
A year ago in February, before the
war, we imported from Cuba goods
valued at $2,O59,729. while for the
same month of the current year the
figures were s2,3O7,94O. For the pc
rlod of July l. 1898, to Feb. 2S, 1893,
the total imports to United States
ports from Cuba were $9,178, against
$6,4l3,02S for the like period year
earlier. The exports to Cuba have also
prospered, those of January and Feb
ruary showing an increase of over ST.
100000 in value.
