INCREASING TRADE
WITH PORTO RICO.
Statement of Trade Between the
United States and That Country
AVERAGES A MILLION A MONTH
Startling Figures Which Array Them
selves Ia Striking Contrast to the
Statistics of the Past.=--POrtO Rican
Trade With This Country Also Thriyes.

Washington.-Porto Rico is fur
nishing market OF a million dol
lars month to the producers and
merchants OF the United States and
supplying nearly million dollars
worth each month OF tropical pro-
ducts required by the United
States. Tne total shipments of do.
mestic merchandise from the United
States to Porto Rico in ten months
erding with April were s9.844.318.
and of foreign merchandise $218,
276, making tie total value of mer-
chandise sent to Porto Rico from
the United States $4,000, 594. The
total shipments of domestic mer-
cnandise from Porta Rico to the
United States in the ten months
ending with April, 1893, was
So, ,744, ,427, and of foreign merchan-
disc $50, ,037, making the total ship
ments from that island to the
United States in tee ten months
ending with April So, ,933, 464. In
the month of A pril the shipments
from the United States to Porto
Rico were 1851, ,526, and from Porto
Rico to the United States $1,919,-
023. These figures indicate that
the shipments from the United
States to Porto Rico during the
fiscal year which ends with the
present month will aggregate about
$4,000. 900, and IRON Porto Rico to
the United States nearly an equal
SUM.
These figures of commerce be-
tween Porto Rico ard tne United
States are in marked contrast with
those OF earlier years. In the fiscal
year 1898, which Immediately pre-
ceded the transfer of Porto Rico to
the United States. the exports from
the United States to that island
were 81 ,5O5. .946. In the next year
they were s2.685, ,848; in 1900,
4,64O, 449; in 1901, s6. 965, 4O8; in
1902. $40, ,288, ,653, and, as already
indicated In the year 1903. will be
alb out $12,00O,v00. Thus the total
shipments from the United States to
Porto Rico for 1903 will be eight
times as great as those 1898, and six
times as great as those of 1897. On
the otter hand. shipments from
Porto Rico TO the United States
have grown from 81, Ala, 356 in 1898
to $8,378. .766 in 1902, and probably
nearly or quite $4,000, 900 in 1903,
or about five times as much in 1903
as in 1898.

LOVE AT NINETY NOT INSANITY
So Rules Judge Maren of the New York
Supreme Court.

New York.-Love at 80 is not in
sanity in law. according to Judge
Maren of the supreme court. who
has dismissed the suit OF Mortimer
S. Brown, for the annuiIment OF the
marriage of his fathsr. After hear
ing all the testimony the judge said
there was nothing the matter with
the wealthy banker, who died a
few weeks after his marriage, ex
cept that he wanted to get mar
ried, and it would be a dangerous
dotcrine tc decide that that was lu-l
sanity, the court said. The old
mans children attempted to. have
his will set aside because he left all
to the woman of 80, whom, accord.
ing to an oddly written diary intro
dnced as evidence, he described as
AN angel sent from God" The
diary told of many attempts of the
nonogenarian to find a wife and
told of repeated failures until the
angel appeared.
