In 1907. 772, 500 persons were en-
gagged in gainful occupations. The

There was a decided increase in the
foreign commerce of the island be-
tween 1899 and 1907. The value of
the imports increased from ST5 ,303,-
6l2 to $97 1884, 1876, and the value OF
the exports from $49,69S.172 to

has been with the United States,
which during the nine years supplied
from two-fifths to almost one-half OF
the imports, and received from two
thirds to over seven-eights of the ex-
ports. The United States takes prac-
tically all the exports of sugar. fruit
and minerals. and more than nine
tenths of the raw tobacco. Trade
with Spain has fallen off greatly.

pal imports and exports were as fol-
