rect labor to more profitable employ

ment. Lignum vitse, logwood and fus

tic do, indeed, still occupy a large num

ber of hands, but the sugar-cane and

coffee are increasing in favor. France

took, in 1875 100,000 pounds of extract

of logwood and 323,450 pounds of the

West Indies, no doubt for re-exporta

pounds of leaf tobacco was exported

last year, principally to Hamburg.

The soil is equal to the production

of the most approved tobacco, as some

Cubans have proved in Santo Domingo;

but the plant is usually carelessly treat

ed. Porto Plata, a port of greater ac

tivity than the capital, is now the chief

port, and exported last year goods to

the value of £218,470, while receiving

others worth £188,250 as imports. It

lies almost in direct ling of navigation

Of this liberality numbers of Cubans

and of British subjects from the Ba

hamas are daily taking advantage,

bringing capital with them. French

science and enterprise are also estab

lished on the soil. “One may well

hope,” says Major Stuart, for a speedy

improvement in the condition of a

country rich in the chief endowments
