CiJfee Head .the List.:
WASHINGTON, .Feb. 27. Tropical products
are becoming each, year a. more important
factor in the irajotailoas of tlic United
E:atfe6, and reached It 1904 the highest total
lr the rec-d of ou foreign commerce. A
ztt ment Just prepaid by the Department or
t izmef" and Labr. through Us Bureau of
B'ail'liTs, shows thjt the total value of trop
! al products brwfbt into the United SUtea
Soring fln caMnrir year 1904. Including the
JTCt-lpta, fr6tH,riSiwaH and Porto Rico, aggrc
saied l,0Qj,O00. exceeding by $30,000,000
tre :'tebest record of any procodlng year.
Tic growth in tropical Importations has been
rapid, Xar exceeding that shown by the
Central Importations. In 1870 llie total im
Pvrts of tropical and subtropical products
arunt'-a to $140,000,000; in 1SS0. ?242,000.000:
1p 1KA $28S.O.0.00; in 1900. $35,000.000. and
In I"4. $466,000,000. MoanUme the genoral
irr'-o.'s into the- country Increased at a much
wer rate, being in 1S70 $461,000,000; in JSSO,
5t37 0O0.O00; In 1S90. $623,000,000; In 1000,
$29.OC000. and in 1004. $1,030,000,000, ex
c iu'w of $80,000,000 worth of products
s" rd from Hawaii and Porto Rico. In 1670
lr-p l products formed "H . per cent of tho
ta .mparts of the United States; in 1904
tr-y 'ormed 43 per cent. Thus it will be seen
ta. tn- general imports of the "United States
hate increased during the last quarter century
- $575,000,000. or 125 per cent, while the 1m-p-rls
of tropical products have Increased dur
ing the came time by $825,000,000. or 282 per
crn! In other words, of tins total Increase of
$7PftO0.KK in the general imports of the
1'nl-cd States since 1S70. near two-thirds
u'd be credited to importations of tropical
products.
Even these figures do not show the real In
crease, because of the great reduction in price
of many of the articles forming this huge
t-'a The value of the vugar tropical pro
u;.ion brought into the country in the past
j tar fcr Instance, was $114,000,000. as against
$70 000.000 In JS70; but the number of pounds'
traugbt in from the tropics last year was
irore than four times aa much as in 1670.
The total number of pounds of tropica! sugar
brought into the country last year was nearly
C OOO.OrjO.OOO. Including that from Hawaii and
Porto Rico, while the number of pounds im
ported from the tropics in 1870 was less than
1,250 000,000. .
The value of the coffee brought in last year
u $63,000,003, as against $24,000,000 in 1870;
yet the quantity last year was 1,117,000.000
pounds, as against 235,000,000 pounds In 1870.
The 500.000 pounds of silk brought in in
1870 was valued at $3,000,000, white the 16,
600 000 pounds brought In last year were valued
at about $55,000,000.
The 43.000.000 pounds of rice brought in in
1870 was valued at $1,000,000. while over three
t'uies that quantity brought In last year was
va ued at lees than S2.500.000.
The 47.000.000 pounds of tea brought in in
1S70 was alucd at nearly $14,000, IW0. while
tSe 107.000.000 pounds brought in last year
W8 alued at $17,000,000.
The average cost per pound of the sugar
br-ugbt into the country In 1870 was about 5
cents, while the average cost list year, includ
ing that brought from Hawaii and Porto Rico,
was about 2 1-3 cents per pound. In India
rubber, however,6ondltions are reversed, the
axerage cost per pound of the 10.000.000 ounds
brought In In 1870 being about SG cents per
pet-rd. while that of the 62,000.000 pounds
brought In last year was over 70 centa per
pcund
The. per capita consumption of tropical
pradu-ts by the people ' of the United States
has also increased si nee 1870, having been in
that j ear but $8.08. while In 1004 it was $5.60.
ard this, too, despite the great fall In prlcos
meantime, as above noted. Bared upon the
h!gh prices pwalllng In 1870. the importations
cf tropical products last year would represent
a total aluation of nearly or quite $1,000,000,-
The tropical island? of the United States
oat-;buted nearly $50,000,000 worth of the
$465,001'. 000 value of tropical products brought
!rio the country last year. Over $23,000,000
cf this was from Hawaii, nearly $13,009,000
w rlh from Porto Rico, and more than $10,-
000 000 worth from the Philippines. In 1886
-:y t retributed $19,000,000 worth to the trop-
1 al requirements of. the country.

OVERTWO MILLION SHARES
ENORMOUS DEALINGS IN STOCKS
IN NEW YORK MARKET.
Southern Pacific .Heavily Bought in
Anticipation of Dividend Im
proved Traffic Reports.
NEW YORK, Feb. 27. The bulky total, of
2,000,000 snares was reached by the business
done at the Stock Exchange today, with a
continuation of the speculative Interest of the
traders. The day, however, was distinctly de
voted to a proee&A of digestion, and there were
no such violent advances as last week. Very
substantial progress -was made, however, ln
realizing the profits caused by last week's ad
.vances. The resistance offered to the selling was not
helped by any notable new development, with
the exception of the striking movement In
Southern Pacific. The advance in this stock
was explained In some quarters as an adjust
ment to the recent advance In Union Paciflc.
in which tho subsidiary stock has not shared,
but an addiUonl motive for the buying was
offered In the circulation of the rumor that a
dividend payment on tho stock had been prac
tically determined upon. This rumor lacked
official confirmation, as did last week's raaay
rumors of combination projects, but it was as
llttlo inspired in Its influence on that account
as were the previous stories. The rate of ab
sorption In Southern Pacific In the first stages
of today's movement was unprecedented on
the Stock Exchange, not lees than 100.000
shares changing hands In a period of ten min
utes during the period of greatest activity.
The great animation of tho present market
makes a striking contrast with the correspond
ing season of last year, when the volume of
dealings was dropping off from day to day
until on March 10 sales of less tben 75.000
were recorded, a low record for many years.
Routine news of the day was little regarded,
although It offered nothing t6 discourage the
buying of stocks. Railroad traffic officials re
ported progress making. In tho opening up of
their lines all over the country after the
storm blockades, and tho milder weather -has

SLUMP OF FOUR CENTS
BIG DEAL IN MAY WHEAT AP
PARENTLY ENDED.
Abandonment of Deal Causes Break
at Chicago Gates Crowd Sells
Five Million Bushels.
CHICAGO. Feb. 27. A sensaUonal slump of
nearly 4 centa per bushel apparently ended a
huge deal In May wheat. The break was due
to seeming abandonment of the deal. The
market rallied considerably on covering by
shorts, but at tho closo May was mill 17432c
below Saturday's final quotations. July showed
a net loos of c
The break in wheat prices developed after
trading was well under way. At the ocen-lng-
quotations were about on a level with Sat-,
urday closing figures. May being c lower
to be higher, at $1.IS31.18U. July was b
be lower to a shade higher at $1.01&s31.01&.
During tho first hour there was nothing to In
dicate the approaching storm. On a fair de
mand from commission houses. May 6oId up
to $L16b. and July to $1.01?;. Then, without
warning, tho market started to tumble. With
in a few minutes the price of the May option
was hammered down to $1.14'4. a break of
3bc from the highest point of the day. July
sold ofT to 9Sb- Heavy liquidation by "Wall
street's speculators, who arc said to have
originally been the possessors of a line of
May wheat ctsimated In millions of bushels,
was the cause of the stampede. Indications
that the May deal had been abandoned by
the big holders started general selling through
out tho pit. Stop-loss orders heavily increased
the selling pressure. Total soles of May wheat
today by tho Eastern coterlo are said to have
aggregated 5,000.000 bushels. The decline was
finally checked by liberal support from a
strong bflll trader, who bought persistently
.around what proved to be the low point of
the day. Other big houses also oame to the
support of the market. Shorts took advantage
of tho break and covered freely. Tho pur
chases affected a partial restoration of confi
dence and brought about a rally which landed
the May price at SLISb&l-ldb. the closing
figure. July closed at $1.OOK01.OO. The
market In general was controlled by the course
of the May option.
In sharp contrast to the break in wheat,
corn closed decidedly stronger, almost at tho
highest point of the day. May opened a
shade higher at 47?jc. and closed at 48bc
Late strength in the corn market had a
buoyant Influence In the price of oats. Th
market closed firm. May closed be higher at
31b331bc
Provisions were firm at the start, on a fair
demand from packers, but the break in wheat
caused a reaction. The market, however, soon
became firm again, mainly as a result of the
strength of corn. At the closo May pork was
up 1012bc. at $12.tb'12.W. Lard was up
10c. at $7.92b. and ribs were Tbc higher, at
$6.77bC.60.
