Spain, because of a various climate of its several parts, is capable to manufacture almost all edible fruit and the grains known both moderate and tropical areas. Though there are some areas of desert, the soil most part is strongly productive, and was the agriculture pursued with the same skill as it is in other countries - in England and Scotland as Spain of an example would be one of the richest agricultural areas on globe. But not only that the agriculture is very inefficiently pursued, but also the country also is seldom occupied (only 90 to square mile, in comparison with 270 to square mile in Italy), and only one quarter from this is grown up. As consequence only those products are lifted in Spain in which, because of its advantages of a climate, etc., it has the least quantity of competition. The basic commercial agricultural product - wine, a grapevine which is grown up in each area in kingdom. Six hundred millions gallons of wine are lifted annually which is more in value, than the full quantity of grain has lifted. Only one fifth from this, however, is exported (mainly to France), and even it, the most part - wine of the lowest grade, used to mix up. Remaining agricultural products of the exported Spain are basically oranges, lemons, , raisin, nuts, olives, and onions. From this value for more than 15 000 000$ go to England annually. England and France, really, possess the big most part of foreign trade of Spain, but last years Germany and the United States take the small action of it. The mineral riches of Spain are huge, and as mines the foreign capital often operates, they are worked with energy. The whole eternity iron ore of Basque Provinces of the north and copper ore of area about Cadiz [113] were known. Value for thirty five millions dollars of copper, iron, leadership, silver, and mercury is exported in Big
The Great Britain annually. Is manufacturing of claps, woollens, cloths, and silks, but any of them as cannot speak, is very rich, though within last twenty five years, owing to the high protective tariff, the quantity of the raw materials used in textile manufacturing in Spain, has doubled. Spain makes an excellent wool, but its woollen manufacturing is incapable to use all it, and one quarter is exported. In the same way, though Spain is especially rich with iron areas, it receives approximately one third of hardware which it requires for own consumption from England. The full area of coal fields of Spain is estimated in 5500 miles, but till now a few coal has been extracted, partially because it is a little inaccessible. Value for four million dollars of coal is annually imported from England. The whole mountains of stone salt exist, but is a little extracted, and any is not exported, though the bay salt received in the south, exported to fishermen of Cornwall. Other important export - a grass which send to England which will be used in paper manufacture. And still another - a stopper though Portugal which adjoins Spain, is the main place of the industry making a stopper. Madrid (470 000) is the capital and the greatest city. Barcelona (250 000) is the main seaport of Spain and the main industrial centre. Valencia (145 000), in the southeast, both Seville (135 000) and Malaga (115 000), in the south, is the basic places of export trade in country fruit. At Cadiz (65 000), the basic naval seaport of Spain, is known export trade in sherry wines. The general number of the population of Spain 17 500 000.
Spain was compared in size to California.
