Commerce of the United States in animals and animal products, etc.—Continued.

SHIPMENTS TO UNITED STATES-Continued.

[blocks in formation]

The traffic in animal products with our most distant territory made a rapid advance during the past year, the accompanying table showing the total value to have been $576,506, as against $327,311 for 1902. Our leather manufacturers have been unusually active in this market, with the result that they have almost half of the entire trade. The boots and shoes exported last year totaled 70,376 pairs, which were valued at $124,382; other manufactures of leather amounted to a still greater valuation $140,575. The most important food items, in the order of magnitude, were milk (necessarily of the condensed variety), the total value of which was $126,961; bacon and hams, valued at $52,261; meat products not specified, valued at $49,533; canned beef, with a valuation of $37,074, and lard, which was valued at $22,981. With the exception of canned beef and lard, all the above items show striking advances on the figures of the previous year; the decrease in lard was very slight, but the drop in canned beef was unaccountably large, the valuation for last year having been less than half the total for 1902.

There was a slight decrease in our trade with Porto Rico last year, the table showing a total of $1,881,712 for the shipments of 1902, while those of 1903 were valued at $1,789,427. Notwithstanding this the majority of the articles on the list had larger totals last year than for 1902. The decrease in the grand total is accounted for by the unusually large falling off in one item, namely, lard. There were 5,798,534 pounds of the latter exported to Porto Rico in 1902, while last year the quantity was only 2,419,138 pounds-a drop of over 50 per cent. The Porto Ricans seem to have a preference for our pork products, as the three items comprising this trade amount to close upon half the entire shipments. The most important of the products mentioned and at the same time the largest single item in the table is salt pork, of which 4,555,297 pounds were shipped last year, valued at $395,363. Lard came next, with a valuation of $198,870, closely followed by bacon and hams which totaled $192,679. Boots and shoes is the third largest item on the list, the number of pairs shipped last year having been 235,662 and the value $215,336, these figures being a little less than those for the previous year; but "Other leather manufactures" increased from $70,313 to $84,513. Of the dairy products butter increased sharply, as did also milk, while cheese fell off from 993,715 pounds to 763,754 pounds.

In the shipments from Porto Rico to the United States it will be seen there is one item only which is of any size, that is, hides and skins. We received of these in 1903, 535,610 pounds, valued at $66,491.
