The Hawaiian inland*, their com merce, finance, production and pop ulation form the subject of a series of tables which will appear in the next numberol the 8ummary of Fi nance aDd commerce, iasued by the bureau of statistics. From these it appears that the United States has since the reciprocity treaty of 1876, bad a large share of the commerce of these islands. Prior to 1870 our an nual sales to these Islands had never, save in two exceptional cases, reach ed $1,000,000. With 1877, however, the million dollar line was perma nently passed and since that date our exports to the islands have stead ily grown, passing the two million dollar line in 1879, exceeding $3, 000,000 in 1883, $4,000,000 in 18»0, passing the $5,000,000 line in 1891, and promising to reach nearly $6, 000.000 this year. Of the total im ports by the Hawaiian islands in 1875 a little over one-third waa from the United States. In 1870 the recipro city treaty went into operation and la 1877 the United States supplied one-half the imports into the Hawa iian islands, which then amounted to #2,500,000. By 1880 the imports had increased to over $3,500,000, of which over $2,000,000 worth came from the United States; in 1881 they were over $4,500,000, of which more than $3,000,000 were trom the United State; in 1890 $0,962,000 of which $4,711,000 came from the United States, and m 1896, $6,063, 000, of which about $4,000,000 came from the United 8tate. Of the ex ports from the Hawaiian islands the United States has also had the lion’s share since the reciprocity treaty of 1876. In 1875 only about 67 per cent of the exports from the Hawaii an islands came to the United States. In 1877, the year following the treaty, over 90 per cent came to the United States, and has since continued in about the same proportion. Of the $200,000,000 worth of exports from the Hawaiin islands since the reci procity treaty of 1876, more than $180,000,000 have come to the United State, and of the $100,000,000 worth of imports into the Hawaiian islands during that time about $70,000,009 were from the United States. Sugar of course appears as the chief article of exportation from the island, though rice has been for years an item of considerable value, and of late coffee, pineapples and bananas have taken important rank in the exportation of the islands. Of the $15,500,000 worth of exports in 1896, almost $15,000,000 worth was sugar, though in adilitinn t/. this there eras exported over 5,000, 000 pounds of rice, 225,000 pounds of cotlee, 126,000 bunches of bananas and 147,000 pineapples. The in crease in sugar and coffee has been rapid in the past few years, coffee increasing from 5,300 pounds in 1887 to 255,000 in 1886, and sugar from 212,000,000 pounds in 1H87 to 448, 000,000 pounds 1880. The tenden cy iu the past twenty years has ap parently been to a reduction in the number of articles produced. Id 1876 the list of exported articles included besides sugar and rice, wool, tallow molasses. |>eannU, bides, goatskins, sbeepekms, whale oil, whalebone, ivory, salt, sperm oil and many otliei articles, tiut now sugar, nee, coffee bananas and pineapples are thechle! export*, ttrough the total value It Ihvit was six times that of |87«,whet the articles were much more numer OWL The imports as above in.

The pop ulation at the latest census was in ronnd numbers 109,000, of whom 31,000 were Hawaiians, 24,000 Jap snese, 21,000 Chinese, 15,000 Por tugese. 6,200 Americans, 2,250 Brit ish, and 1,430 Germans. The re ceipts of the government are about *2,000,000 annually, of which about one-third is gathered by tariff taxes, one-third by internal taxation, and one-third from miscellaneous sources, the expenditures being slightly less than the receipts. Our commerce with the islands ex tends over more than half, a century, one of the tables which will be pre sented showing imports from them as early as 1826, and exports to them as early as 1837, though the latter seems to have been only occasional prior to 1854, when they amounted to #4,400, and by 1863 had increas ed to #548,730. In 1873 they were $672,191, passing the one million line in 1877, after the enactment of the reciprocity treaty, the two mill ion line in 1879, the three million mark in 1882, the four million stage in 1890, the five million in 1891 and promises to be nearly six millions this fiscal year; while our imports from the island will this year be the highest on record despite the gener — 1 I 1 lin* mt luvjuvvivu vs »»*»|/v» parts of the world, the total tor the year being likely to exceed #15,000, 000, against •13,6h7,000 last year, and •ll,OH7’000 in the preceding year.

I HAVE THE LARGEST AND FINEST ASSORTMENT OF I Trunks and Valises Ever BROUGHT TO THE MIDDLE LOUP VALLEY. , j Our trade is steadily increasing and it is flattering evidence to us that our new plan of hammering down the prices is appreciated by the public, and by adding largely to our stock, many articles heretofore sold in other stores for high prices, and selling them on a very close margin, we arc gradually building up a bus iness that is highly satisfactory. We have a mammoth stock of Dry Goods, Boots, Shoes, Hats, Caps, and Notions, all new spring goods, but we do not be lieve in selling them on large profits to make up for a sacrifice in some other de partment, because we find that we can do more business on close margin than on ; large profits, and a largo volume of business will give us good interest on our investment. Don’t go bv our store if you want a bargain in a Trunk or Valico or in fact anything to put in it. We are here to do business and have employed the aid of low prices in every department to assist us.
