Since the treaty San Francisco is, practically, the only direct market for the productions of these islands. Mr. Comly, then our minister resident at Honolulu, writing to the Secretary of State on the llth April, 1881, says: The showing for American shipping is gratifying. Not only have our shipbuilders furnished nearly all the new steamers and other vessels introduced, and our owners also transferred most of the bottoms which have changed register to the Hawaiian flag under Hawaiian owners, bu...t the bulk of all the trade between the two countries has been carried under the American flag. Excluding whalers, out of 235 merchant vessels and steamers visiting Hawaiian ports 179 were American, leaving 60 only of all other nations; total tonnage, 141, 906 ; American, 99, 619 ; all others, 42, 302. These state- ments include also all Hawaiian vessels sailing, foreign. The Hawaiian flag covers coasting sail vessels, 42 ; steamers, 8; sailing, foreign, 14 ; tonnage, 10. 148.
