Washington, June 11.-(SpeciaL)-
 American producers are already find
 ing an enlarged market in Cuba, Porto
 Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines. The figures of the. treasury bureau of sta
 4istics. just issued, indicate that the
 exports of the fiscal year which ends
 with this mcnthAwill show a larger ex-
 portation to Hawaii and the Philip
 pines than ever before and larger to
 Cuba and Porto Rico than in any pre-
 vious year except bose in which the reciprocity features \of the Mckinley law were in operation.
 The exports to CuBe in the ten
 months ending April 3Q, 1899, were
 50 per cent in excess of these of the corresponding months oE 1898, and more than double these of the same months in the fiscal yearN 1S97 To Porto Rico, the exports are 33 per cent in excess of the corresponding months of last year, and to Hawaii Ehe ex- ports of the ten months are S7 per cent in excess of those of the same months in 1898, and double those of the corresponding months Of 1897. To the Philippines, the exports, despite the continuous war conditions, are three times as much as in the cores bonding mcnths of any preceding year.
 The total exports to Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii, and the Philippines in the full fiscal year which ends with this month will reach about S30,000,000 against S17,000,OO0 last year. Our sales to these islands in the fiscal year 1899, even under the unsettled conditions which have prevailed in all of them, except Hawaii, will exceed those of any previous scar save those of 1893, the most successful year of the reciprocity term. These figures of course do not include any of the sup plies sent by the government for it's troops in the islands, ncr supplies sent by the government to the suffer ing Cubans.
 1t is also interesting to note that the expectations to Spain are approaching their normal condition, those fer the ten months ending with May 1 being sS, 100000, against S10,000,O00 in the corresponding months of last year and less than ten million dollars in the cor responding months of the fiscal year 1897.
 The increase in exports to these islands is in almost all classes of ar ticles which we have been accustomed to send them. Exports of agricultural to Cuba in the ten months just ended are three times thc.se Of the months of last year. Wheat fiCur shows an increase of nearly 50 per cent. Cars, carriages and other vehicleS are in 1899 four times the amount of exports in the same lines during 1S98 Exports of cotton cloths to Cuba. which in ten months of 1898 were 13S, 662 yards and in ten months of 1897, 251,S0 yards, were, in ten months of 1899, 5,393, IA yards, while to Porto Rico the exports have increased from 22.S7S yards in ten months of 1898 to 1,5S4 670 yards n ten months of 1899. Other manu- factureS Of cotton increased in like proportion, the value of "all other" of cotton exported to Cuba in ten months of 1898 being $11,- l15, and in ten months Of 1899, $S1, ,369, while to Porto Rico the increase was rom S1,67S in ten months of 1898 to S16,6S1 in ten months of 1S99
