Most of this was shipped direct to the mother 
country. 
Of the imports of $2,000,000, 70 per cent, 
came from France, our share being $300,000. 
It is doubtful if our trade here could be ma 
terially increased. Cayenne is the only town 
to visit, and may be best reached from Trini 
dad or from the French possession of Mar 
tinique or Guadaloupe. French money is in 
use and while dealers give drafts on Paris or 
London, most of them having business with 
New York, do so through some branch of the 
Credit Lyonnais. 
No traveler’s fee is required. French is 
spoken. 
All of these possessions are ruled by of 
ficials sent from the motherland for a term of 
years.
