Porto Rico Saturday on the steamer

Hunt said in relation TO Porto Rico:
General Miles landed in Porto Rico
four years ago today. Great changes
have taken place, and the island has
much to be thankful for since our flag
was raised. The close of the fiscal
year showed better business, better
health and better prospects than ever.
The insular treasury balance on July
L was 1914, 900. The total exports for
last year aggregated $12. .S3992 show
ing an increase in exports TO foreign
countries of 54.T1 per cent. over the
previous year, and 1876 per cent. in
crease of exports to the United States.
Porto Rico's Foreign Trade.
'The increase is principally in SUI
gar cigars and cigarettes. and coffee.
We sent $204, 800 worth of straw hats
alone to the United States last year.
American merchants would do well to
study Porto Rico imports from Europe
with view to enlarging home trade.
Porto Rico bought over 100000 worth
of Nova Scotia Goldfish last year and
over $250,000 worth of foreign soaps.
Spain sent us rice valued at more than
$4,000 and over $4,000 of potatoes.
This business should go to our own
markets and with larger development
in the island its future commerce must
be kept closer at home. The Porto
Rican coffee continues to go to Eu-
rope, to Austria, France, Spain, Italy
<and Germany.
We Don't Buy Their Coffee.
america took only $4,000 worth
last year. while Europe took over 3d.
100000 worth. The superiority of the
coffee is such that we cannot under
stand the inSignie cant demand for it
in New York; still it is gradually
gaining favor and will soon be sold
extensively / hope.
