TRADE WITH OUTLYING POSSESSIONS 



As a rcsiill. of tlie war wilh Si)aiii the United Statics in 1808 acquirod 

 possession of Porto Rico, (luaiu, and Uie Philippine islands, wnile in 

 the same year Hawaii became a part of this country at its own request. 

 In 1900 two islands of the Samoan group were acquired by a partition 

 agreement with Great Britain and Germany, and in 1917 the Virgin 

 Islands were purchased from Denmark. The trade with the Philip-

 possessions has been eliminated from these tables and shown sep- 

 arately ever since their annexation to the United States,

 quantities of salmon from the mainland:
