ILOILO.

The country r und Iloilo is very iert.ie and is extensively cultivated. The crop of sugar for 1880 is estimated at one million piculs. Tobacco is also largely cultivated, but, being Government monopoly which must be sold at a fixed price, it is greatly neglected and of poor quality. Rice is grown on a considerable scale, and last year's crop was a good one. Locusts are very plentiful in the island and often do great damage to the cane and paddy.

Typhoons vis.t the port about once a year and frequently work great havoc. Earthquakes, however, seidcm occur. Iloilo is about 254 mil s distant from Manilaj

Iloilo has greatly increased in importance of late years. The chief articles o. export are sugar, tobacco, sapanwood, and hides. The principal traders are Chinese mestizos, who are very numerous in the port. There is a tradition that the town of Mɔlo was once peopled by Chinese, and many of the inhabitants have Chinese names. In 1878 there entered with cargoes 26 vessels of 17,103 tons, and in ballast 33 vessels of 35,039 tʊns, and there cleared with cargoes 46 vessels of 44,517 tons, and in ballast 9 vessels of 5,655 tons. The value of the imports was $807,395, and that of the exports $2,448,458, sugar accounting for $2,247,125 of the total.

The island of N. gres is very fertile and contributes three-fourths of the sugar shipped from II ilo, the quality of which is improving very much every year.
