Candida Ybor of Emilio Pons g. Co Of Ybor
! City returned a few days ago from Cuba,
where he went to inspect the new crop. He
| states that owing to the drought IL VIII not
| begin to come in to any marked extent until
| the middle of next month He reports bust
ness of all kinds in Cuba as being bad. This,
! he says, is largely due to the poor sugar crop
/ that is giving but little of the article. The
| Mckinley law is also partly responsible for
! the great depression there in the cigar bust
! ness. Depression in this branch Of business
also has a depressing effect on trade in gen
eral. This firm is shipping from 5000 to
| $1,000 cigars week.

! few PAGES away, and told his father what had
| happened Mr.. Cummings hurried out low
| cred a ladder and upon reaching the bottom
