The total im- ports for 1896 were made up as follows: Europe, 14,189,294 pounds; West Indies, 10,502,038 pounds; North America, 62,618,626 pounds; South America, 467,791,219 pounds; Asia, 25,143,551 pounds; Africa, 211,620 pounds; all other countries, 2,032,074 pounds. By comparing these figures with the amounts given above for the year 1821 it will be seen that South America furnished about 80 per cent in 1896, against about 8 per cent in 1821, while the West Indian supply has decreased from nearly 90 per cent, in 1821 to 2 per cent. in 1896.
