1 Compiled from the annual reports of the Foreign Commerce and Navigation of the United States, 
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, Department of Commerce. Data for 1901-1905 and subse- 
quently are not strictly comparable with data for earlier years, because receipts from Hawaii and Porto 
Rico, subsequent to 1900, have been omitted from foreign trade, and the sugar received from those posses- 
sions in 1901-1905 and subsequently is not represented in the above table.
