HAWAII'S TRADE
IN FRUITS, ETC.

There was an increase of S5S2,5S5
in ,hipments Of raw ana preserved
fruits from Hawaii to the United
States mainland for the ten months
ending April 80, 1911, as compared
with the corresponding period be-
fore The amount for the 1910 pc
Rod was 81 ,491,537, and for that end
ing this year, $2,O74,122. Preserved
pineapples more than account for
the gain, the shipments of this article
in 1911 being $1,944,O95, as compared
with $1,29S.332 in 1910, or an increase
of $645,763
In raw fruit shipments there was
a decrease of $G6,944, the 1911 value
being $126,261 against S193,205 for
The ten months ending in 1910 Ship
ments in the 1911 period were made
up of $50, 4SG in bananas, $37,OS7 in
pineapples and $5,6SS in all other.
For 1910 the value for all these items
is punched in Federal statistics.
/ Nuts are not included i'm the fore
going figures. They amounted to but
81 1862 in 1910 and 1914 in 1911
No doubt the preserved pineapple
is to be credited with a large share
of the increase of S174,177 in exports
of Hawaiian products to foreign
countries for the period above men
toned, which has already been noted
in this paper. It has been a matter
of news in the local press that this
product is making a fixed place for
itself in European markets.
Pineapple juice is another article
that is rapidly increasing among Ha-
,waiian exports. For the ten months
ending with April last the value Of
shipments of this commodity to the
United States was $212,757, against
S10,627 in the previous corresponding
period when the export had its be-
ginning. Adding together the three
articles of export furnished by the
Hawaiian pineapple industry, the re-
spectacle total of $2,193,93 is OBJ
tanned, and this is for shipments 70
the United States exclusively. y
Other articles that show a sub
stantial increase for the ten months
in question are coffee and honey. OF
coffee value of $3O2,977 was ship
ped to the American markets, being
an increase of $51,372 Honey ship
ments to the mainland were $4S9)1
in value, an increase of $1S,G4S r II
is we'll known that coffee and honey
are among the articles that go into
Hawaii's growing direct trade with
foreign countries, but together with
fruits they are absent from the trade
returns compiled and published in
Washington.
