persons were hurt. For the rear resti-

kindling wood of several feet OF the bed
of the car. The signhoard "Riyerview''

and standards were demolished. BY
reason of its greater strength the Darby
oar escaped much damage, although the
front platform showed the effects Of
the impact. After the accident the cal

r. G. Dun & Go. IS Review says
Producers and consumers are getting
together in more than one direction,
although midsummer inactivity is en-
phasized by disturbed foreign relations
and hesitation always attending ma
tional political campaign. False starts
are to he feared, but the dangerous
optimism Of last autumn is lacking,
and new business Is at lower prices.
"It was not surprising that wheat
declined still further this week, for
the price has been held far above the
and crop conditions are SO generally
satisfactory as to secure an abundance

usual amount for export. tt
Foreign commerce at this port alone
indicates another heavy balance in
favor of the United States for July. In

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1900-01-20

1896, the exports in that year having
been 73.927.614 pounds more than in
1898. The figures for recent years do
not fully show the increased output of
the Hawaiian plantations, inasmuch as
many large cargoes Of sugar for the
East. instead of going to San Francisco
have taken the route via Cape Horn.
The imports from San Francisco in
the past year were the largest on rec
ord, while to find the largest export
value in any year we have to go back
to 1889. i'm which S14.074,151 was Civ
en-. The largest quantity Of sugar sent
from the Islands was 339, 573. $50 pounds
in 1896. In the past year the exports
were nearly as much.
The full value of these Islands, how
ever. cannot be measured by the ex-
port and import trade alone, as shown
in the regular commercial statistics.
There are individual interests which
have been greatly benefited. and which
in the aggregate would, if it were pos
sible to give them a money value. roll
mp very large sum, to say nothing of
the political advantages derived by the
United States in acquiring possession
of the Islands.
