Our shipments to the Atlantic ports show
a large increase over last year, the political
struggles in Cuba having curtailed the sup
plies from that island, and forced prices up
N New York, which invited consignments
hence. The largest increase is to New York,
which shows total of 1896 hhds, against
~ last year, while the amount to Philadel-
Dhia is 1890, against li2, and TO Baltimore
I3l7, against 1928 There has also been
'ome increase to Charleston and Savannah,
he latter taking 1907 hhds, against 9lI last
,ear. The Gulf ports also come in for con-
iderable increase.
