Shipments OF this fruit from the
West Indies have been considerably
smaller in recent years than they were
a decade previous. Owing to the dis.
turbed commercial conditions during
and prior to the Spanish.American
war. the imports, notably from Cuba,
suffered a great decline. from which
recovery is not yet complete. Imports
of bananas from Cuba, which in 1894
amounted in value to SLIGHTEST, de.
clined steadily to nil in 1898, but have
since recovered slightly, amounting to
s467,34 in 1901. Imports from the
British West Indies. which amount to
s1,S01 .5Si in value in 1894. also show
ed falling OFF during the period of
disturbance. But they quickly recov-
cred. and in 1901 they amounted to
s2,5O1 ,2S3. The value of the imports
of bananas from the West Indies for
the fiscal years 1897 to 1900 are given
below:

WHERE BANANAS COME FROM
FOR THE AMERICAN MARKET

The great increase in the use of ba-
nanas as a food in the United States
during the past thirty or. forty years
is a fact that can scarcely have es.
capped the notice of even the most
careless observer. The magnitude
which the trade in this fruit has grad.
ually assumed, however. is probably
not generally realized outside of the
circles directly interested in the
trade. In the foreign trade of the
United States in fresh fruits, whether
exports or imports be considered, i'm.
ports of bananas have for some years
been the most important single factor.
This fact Is brought into strong re.
lief by the statement that, OF late
years, the value of the bananas annu.
ally imported into this country has
been more than three times that of
the apples annually exported. In the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1901, the
record year up to date in the banana
trade. the total value Of the bananas
imported amounted to s6,55O,1 while
the value of the exports OF fresh ap.
pies for the same year-exports, too.
which had been exceeded only twice
in the previous decade-amounted to
only $2,05S,964.
The United States is dependent al.
most entirely on imports for its sup.
ply of bananas. In the southern half

What Etiquette Demanded When
