| In preparation of the Ph.D. dissertation "Trade
and politics in nineteenth century Puerto Rico" (Princeton University,
1988), Astrid Cubano reviewed Arecibo protocolos (notarial records) and
taxpayer lists. In compiling the above list of 79 medium and large
scale merchants established in Arecibo from the 1830s to the 1880s, Cubano
included merchants who at some point owned mercantile assets in excess
of 5,000 pesos.
Cubano commented that "[t]hese merchants are nearly the totality of the almacenista-commission agent sector and of the important store owners established in the town throughout those years. The origin of 65 of the group ... were identified: 49 were immigrants from Spain (62 percent of the total), 9 were foreigners and only 7 were creole.... Creoles, it seems, filled the lower ranks of rural 'pulperos' and 'ventorrillo' owners, but as these numbers show only rarely ascended the upper levels of the trade world." [p. 96] |
