Financial Condition.

The financial condition of the islands
Is reported to be very much better
than for several years. At the close
OF the last fiscal year there remained
an excess Of receipts over expendi-
lures of over million and a half gold,
due In part to the increased collec-
tions by the bureau Of internal reve-
nue. and in part to the greater econ
omy in expenditures, and 1t is conf
IDENTIFY stated that during the coming
year there will be a sufficient amount
available over and above the ordinary
expenses of the government to devite
two or three millions to much needed
improvements. road and bridge build
ing and permanent public works.
Industrial Conditions
The reports of the various governors
taken as whole indicate that the
crops are in more prosperous condi-
ton, except as to tobacco, sugar and
hemp, plants of the latter having been
damaged by destructive typhoon to
the extent of about $4,0O0,OOO in value
Of the crop. The reduction in the pro-
duction of tobacco is due largely to
lack Of suitable market, that of the
United States being closed by the alb
solutely prohibitory duties imposed by
the Dingley tariff and to the conse-
quent low price realized for the leaf.
In, the matter Of exports the loss
was made up by the increase in the
production and expectation Of cocoa
nuts. The imports were reduced be-
low the preceding year by some 3d.
100000, a large portion of which con-
sisted in the reduced importations of
rice, which is good sign. as it indi-
Gates that the Philippines are raising
their own rice and extending their
agriculture, which for a number of
years has ben retarded by death of
cattle and draft animals from rinder-
pest, locust plaques, ETC., The balance
Of trade in favor of the islands was
about $6,OOO,000. Enormous numbers
of new plants Of Manila hemp Ga most
useful fiber plant) and cocoanuts have
been set out, and there has been a
large increase in the area planted to
rice
| Another good sign Of returning pros.
perity Is the increased purchases OF
improved agricultural implements and
machinery. which not merely denotes
Improvement in purchasing power on
the part of the people, but also fur.
nishes the material for constantly en-.
larged production.
Railroads in Islands.
In accordance with the authority
granted by congress bids were called
| for, concessionary contracts granted,
| and SURVEYS have been for some time
in progress for the building of some
430 miles OF railroad in the island OF
Luzcn in addition to the 200 miles al
ready existing, and some 80 miles it,
the islands ri Panay, Neeros and Ce5u,
about evenly distributed. 1t will thus
| be seen that final steps have been
taken and the machinery set in mo-
ton which will result in the con.
struction of over 700 miles of new rail
way, which additional means of trans

portation are urgently needed for any
large development or progress in the
Islands. For the agricultura1ist to be-
stow his labor on the production Of
commodities beyond the bare utilities
OF life is useless when there exists no
means of transporting them to other
parts Of the island or to the great
markets Of the world
The railway soon to be under con-
struction in Luzon carries no guaran-
tee by the Philippine government, but
those in the Islands of Panay, Negros
and Cebu are given guarantee for
thirty years of per cent on the first
mortgage bonds, none of which are to
be sold below par, the proceeds all to
be expended for the construction and
equipment of the roads, and any sums
paid by the government under the
guaranty to constitute a lien upon the
railroad and its equipment. The fran
chises are perpetual and rates of taxa
tlon are fixed at one-half of / per
cent on the gross earnings for thirty
years, l " per cent for fifty years, and
thereafter to be fixed by the govern
INIT. The guarantees bind themselves
in the confessional contract to begin
construction within certain period
and to complete specific number of
miles of railway within a given length
of time on plans to be approved by
the governor general The Chamber
of Commerce of Manila, on learning
the full text of the concessions, unani-
mously passed resolution thanking
the commission for the interest dis
played.
Friar Lands.
With the final payment on account
of friar-land purchases in October,
1905, there passed into the possession
of the insular government approxi-
mately 100000 acres of agriculture
land formerly belonging to the reli-
gious orders, and nearly one-fifth of
the same has been leased largely to
former tenants) from which suf-
ficient income is derived to pay nearl,
half the interest on the purchas,
bonds. The rentals in most cases ar
lower than those paid to the friars
but If a fair proportion of each es
tate could be lease, on similar terms
the income would be sufficient to pa
the interest upon the bonds and TIL
cost of administration.
