They Are the Chief Evnurli of Cuba and Porto Pico. Washlng'cn. Sept. 7—The Interest In the business opporirnitles offered In Cuba and oPrlo Hl"« which Is felt by the business meg of the Vnlt"d States la shewn by the large number of IcttPia ou thiit subject now boio* received by the treasury bureau of statistics. These com» from all parts of the country, but j especially Irom the greet manufactur ing, producing and business centres. The Inquiries are generally for stalls- i tics as to the Imports Into those Is- ] lends, the purpose evidently being loj determine Ihe class of articles demand-; cd and the countries from which the supplies have been drawn In the past j few years. This Information the bu-1 trail of statistics has been able to sup ply very fully, Us flgurra showing n , great detail the articles Imported Into those Islands from each of the leading commercial nations during the last dec ade. In genera! lerms It may he said that the Imports Into Cuba and Porto R'.co have averaged about *60.000.000 a year during thr past decade. Of this about, cue-half was from Spain, about one third from the United Stales, and the remainder from England, Germany, France and other nations. This average of *60,000.000 a year Is probably con siderably below the normal consuming capacity of the islands, the imports of the last two or three years having been greatly reduced because of the war. Of this average annual importation of *60.000,000 Into Cuba and Porto Rico about 85 per cent has gone to Cuba, about one-third, as indicated Above, being from the United States, one-half from Spain and one-tenth from Great Britain. The large percentage of the imports front Cuba and Porto Rico v-iiich Spain was able to retain for her own people was due both to Spanish influence among the merchants and Im porters. and to the discriminating tar iff in favor pf goods coming from Spain. Now that these influences In fa vor of Spanish merchandise are to be remoyed there'is an especial interest, in the question of the class of articles vhich have in the past been imported from Spain Into these islands, and this information the figure-/ of the bu reau of statistics supply In detail.
