about 5 million pounds, Cuba 4 million pounds, and Canada 3 million 
pounds. 
Fresh pork exported in 1884 amounted to 185,000 pounds, which 
increased to 41,000,000 pounds in 1902 and decreased to 2,668,000 
pounds in 1911. During the 15 years 1895-1909 about 90 per cent 
of this product went to the United Kingdom. During the five years 
1910-1911, 35 per cent of the fresh pork was consigned to the United 
Kingdom, 26 per cent to Panama, and 20 per cent to Canada. The 
fresh pork imported in 1911 amounted to 4,621,799 pounds, valued 
at $540,801. Canada supplied 4,600,000 pounds and Eussia 21,000 
pounds. 
The annual exports of salted or pickled pork during the five years 
1852-1856 averaged 41 million pounds, which was doubled 25 years 
later, or during 1877-1881, amounting to 86 million pounds; this 
amount was again doubled 20 years later, or in 1907, the amount 
being 166 million pounds, which decreased to less than one-third, or 
52 million pounds, in 1909, and to 46 million pounds in 1914. In 
1895 the United Kingdom received about one-fourth of this article, 
or 14 million pounds. Ten years later, or during 1904, this was in- 
creased to about one-half, or 58 million pounds. After a lapse of 
another 10 years, or in 1914, the proportion to the United Kingdom 
was reduced to about one-eighth, or 5 million pounds. In 1896 four 
countries — the United Kingdom, Canada, Haiti, and the British 
West Indies — received 10 million pounds each. In 1914 the same 
countries received 5 million pounds, 13 million pounds, H million 
pounds, and 5 million pounds, respectively. 
Lard. — The exports of lard in 1851 amounted to 20 million pounds. 
Ten years later this was doubled, amounting to 40 million pounds, 
and continued to increase until 1906, when the quantity amounted to 
742 million pounds, which decreased to 481 million pounds in 1914. 
In 1895, 184 million pounds were consigned to the United Kingdom 
and 104 million pounds to Germany. Ten years later, or in 1905, 229 
million pounds were consigned to the United Kingdom and 188 mil- 
lion pounds to Germany. After a lapse of another 10 years the con- 
signments decreased to 165 million pounds to the United Kingdom 
and to 146 million pounds to Germany. During the five years, 1910- 
1914, the value of the lard exported formed about one-half of all the 
pork products sent abroad. 
Neutral lard exported in 1911 amounted to 38 million pounds, in- 
creased to 62 million pounds in 1912, and decreased to 45 million 
pounds in 1913, and to 29 million pounds in 1914. The Netherlands 
was the leading country to which this product was consigned, taking 
approximately one-half of the neutral lard exported. Denmark, Ger- 
many, Norway, and the United Kingdom received the greater portion 
of the remainder.
