Consular Agent Sutherland has compiled 

 the figures for 1914, showing the annual de- 

 clared value of the exiiorts from the Isle of 

 Pines to Cuba and to say the least they are 

 very gratifying, showing a steady increase for 

 each year that these figures are in evidence. 



Grapefruit stands at the head of the column 

 this year, as it did last. Pineapples are second 

 and there is a falling off on this fruit. This is 

 probably due to the fact that last year's ship- 

 ments were not altogether the success antici- 

 patecl, due in a great measure to a lot of poor 

 fruit shipped. Although the valuations are 

 smaller for 1914 there is no question, but that 

 the returns to the producer were greater, be- 

 cause there was an absence this year of the 

 poor fruit that glutted the market the year 

 before. Peppers also showed a healthy in- 

 crease and in general the report is very satis- 

 factory, while the amount of eggi^lant fell off 

 over 50 per cent.
