INCREASE in EXPORTS
OUR TRADE WITH CUBA. PORTO RICO
AND OTHER ISLANDS.
Value of Goods Shopped Has Crown
from Slz,OOO.o0o in 5 to About
$780, 100000 In 1900.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Exports from
the United States to Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippine, Hawaiian and Samoan
islands will aggregate $50. 900. 900 in the year
1900. against $41,O0O,O 600 In 1899, 100000 in
1898 and ST.. 0O0,o 600 in 1897. This enormous
growth is shared by each of the island
named, but Is especially apparent in the
case of Porto Rico, to which the exports
in the year 1900 under the new Porto Rican
act will show an increase of about so per
cent as compared with last year and 100
per cent. as compared with preceding
years.
The above figures are necessarily esti-
mates so far as they relate to November
and December of the present year. but a
study of the actual figures of the preced-
ing months of 1900 and the corresponding
months of 1899 and 1898 ~justifes an estimate
which brings the exports to Porto Rico
In the calendar year 1900 up to $4,000;
to Cuba, SIC. 900. 900; to the Philippines. So
100000; to the Hawaiian islands, SIS. 900. 000.
and to the Samoan Islands and Guam, $1OO.-
coo, making the grand total of $50. 100000 OF
Exports to these islands in 1900, compared
with $41,5S1.0S4 in 1899. $l9.171,342 in 1898 and
SIG, 922, 305 in 1897. In every case our exports
to these islands in the year 1900 will exceed
those In preceding years. To Cuba the ex-
ports of the year will be double the aver
age annual exports TO that island except
during the fiscal years 1892. 1898 and 1884.
when the reciprocity treaty with Spain
largely increased our sales TO that island.
To Porto Rico the exports Of the year will
be double those of any preceding year ex-
cept 1899 and will exceed that year by so
per cent. To the Hawaiian islands. esti-
mating figures of the closing months of the
year upon those of the earlier months and
other obtainable data, the exports of the
year are more than double those OF any
preceding year except 1893. To the Philip
pines the figures for 1900 will be Cub
those of 1899 and more than ten times the
highest figure in any earlier year. To the
Samoan islands the total will be double
that of any preceding year. Comparing our
exports to the islands above mentioned
with those In the great reciprocity year
1893, when our exports to Cuba were double
those of years Immediately preceding the
reciprocity act, It will be seen that our
total in 1900 greatly exceeds that of the
greatest of the reciprocity years. The to-
tai exports to Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Hawaiian and Philippine Island I'm 1893
were SIS. 094, 047, and, as above indicated.
will in 1900 amount to $50 00, 900 in round
terms.
