of $2366, and received in return $174

the year before.
Belgium's exports to these islands
were $33,494, a Belgian gain of $1O,936
while she purchased from us $500
worth against blank the previous
year.
France sold less to Hawaii and
bought more from her last year than
in 19O9-1O French imports hither
were $16,53O, a decline of 5000, while
her purchases of Hawaiian goods
amounted to $2126, a gain to us of
$2O46.
Germanys exports to Hawaii were

$41,345, an increase in the former of
$27S,609 and in the latter of $2G,252.
The ratio of increase, it will be no.

Portugal, with which Hawaii holds
intimate relations of racial sort in
its population, had but slight CONNER
