increase. and last year jumped to S'".-
319,S The figures for this year are
expected to show $50 100000 or more. The
imports have been even more phenomenal.
A gain of S1O.O0OOOO was shown in the
first year. that is from S27.Ooo.COO to
over S37. 10000. In 1911 splendid total
of S49. S383S I'D was reached. Last year the
imports were $54.549,9SO. This shows an
increase of S4.11625S in imports over the
total of 1911. The other S4.OpUp IN
crease was because of rice importations,
SO that the actual increase In value OF
general imports was SiO6 a3?.
The rush of American goods 10 the
Philippines caused natural excess of i'm

was against the islands for the nrst tnle
