Washington, D. c., April 24.-More
fruits and nuts passed into and out of
domestic ports during the last decade,
1855. 900, 900 being imports and $780,
100000 exports. The trade in each di-
rection has about doubled in the last
decade, imports having risen from
twenty-four and one-half to forty-eight
and three-fourths million dollars and
exports from nineteen and three-fourths
to thirty-three and three-fourths mil
lion dollars in the period from 1903 to
1913.
The opening months of 1914 show,
according to statistics compiled by the
bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merce, department of commerce, in
creased imports and diminished ex-
ports of fruits and nuts as compared
with January and February OF last
year. Imports during the first two
months of this year aggregated over
six million dollars value, or 20 per
cent more than those for a like period
of 1913, while exports amounted to
four million dollars, or about 80 per
cent less than a year ago. The sharp
ueCTedSe III exports EtHSClS the SliOTl-
age of crops during 1913 on the Pacific
coast, where, it is reported stocks of
all kinds of dried fruits on hand at
the present time are at the lowest
point ever recorded.
Our domestic food supply was sup
plemented last year by 80 million dol
lars worth of fruits and 16 million dol
lars worth of nuts from foreign coun-
tries and, in addition over four mil
lion dollars worth of fruits and nuts
from Hawaii and three and one-half
million dollars worth from Porto Rico. !
\ comparatively small number of
countries supply most of the fruits |
and nuts. other than those of domestic !
consumed in the United |
States. Bananas are exclusively from /
from American countries, chiefly the |
British West Indies and Central Amer
lea; last years imports were valued |

While domestic consumption still
absorbs our rapidly growing produc-
ton of fruit, the exports of that class
are distributed in all parts of the
world Europe is the principal Gus
toner for all our exported fruits ex-
cept oranges, lemons, and raisins.
Germany takes about one-half of the
dried apples and the United Kingdom
a like proportion of the green apples
exported Nearly one-half of the april
cots went last year to France, Ger
many, and the Netherlands, while the
United Kingdom alone took one-third
of the total Nearly all of the oranges,
over three-fourths of the lemons, and
over one-half of the raisins exported
went to Canada. Germany and Canada
each take about one-third of the dried
peaches exported, the remainder go
ing to about 80 different countries.
Out of "a million pounds Of prunes ex-
ported last year, "a million went to
Germany, IA million to France, IL mil
lion to the United Kingdom, and II
million to Canada.
Fruits and nuts exported last year
included: Apples, green or ripe, sew
en- and one-half million dollars; dried
prunes, five and one-half million; or
anges, two-thirds million; apricots,
two and one-third million; pears, one
and one-half million; raisins, one mil

| at 10 million dollars, or almost double
the figures of 1918. Sicily supplied
most of the six and one-half million
dollars worth of lemons imported. We
now import over 40 million pounds of
dates annually, chiefly from Asiatic
Turkey. Currants come principally
/ from Greece, from which country we
import from 80 to 40 million pounds
annually. Most of the 20 million
pounds of figs imported annually come
from a strip of land near Smyrna
about 80 miles long and less than one
mile wide, this being the worlds chief
dried-fig district. We also import from
one to two million cubic feet of grapes,
nearly all from Spain. Spain rivals
Asiatic Turkey as a source for our i'm
ported raisins and exceeds Greece and
Italy in shipments of olives to the
United States, though Italy still sup
plies most of our imported olive OIL
The domestic orange has almost en-
tirely supplanted the imported fruit,
the few oranges still being imported
coming chiefly from Jamaica. Mexican
oranges are no longer imported, hav-
ing been excluded by plant-quarantine
order. In Hawaii the pineapple is be-
coming an important industry, that is
land having sent us last year four mil
lion dollars worth, or forty times as
much as in 1908. Cuba is also an i'm
portant source, while pineapples are
received from Porto Rico in rapidly
increasing quantities.
The so-called English walnut is al
most exclusively the product of
France, from which country we import
from 10 to % million pounds annually.
Our imported almonds are mostly
from Spain and Italy; our filberts
from Italy and Spain; cream nuts
from Brazil; cocoanuts in the shell, |
from Central America and the West
Indies; cocoanut meat, or copra from |
the Philippines and other oriental is |
lands; and peanuts, from Japan, |
Spain, China and in lesser quantities |
from various countries in Europe, |
Asia, and North America.
