IAports to the Island Are AIrcndx
on The ImcrcnNe

washington, Dec. 17.-EXports to Cu.
pa are already beginning to feel tba Of.
fects of returning peace and the reonor-
ing Vi our ports of commerce. The Oc-
'o"er lisufes OF the treasury bureau of
statstlcs show marked increase in
these in nearly all departments. com.
paflhs October, 1898, with October 1897
when 1t is remembered that all the is-
Iand and all its ports We're open TO orr
commerce in 1897, the gain shown in
THESE fgures is the more remarkable.
IN october, 1898, only the port of San
tlaso ana Two comparatively unmpor-
tant ports in its immediate neichbor-
nood We're open to our commerce. vet
the exports from the United States ia
mat small section of Cuba in that month
were considerably greater than to all
CUBA IN the corresponding month of
last year. The contrast becomes the
more significant when it is further re-
memhered that purchases of goods for
the use of the Spanish army in Cuba
We're being freely made from the United
States in October of last year and none
in October Of the present year.
Eighteen of the "a great classes Of ar
ticles exported to Cuba show an in
crease. The six classes which show a
d crease are corn, provisions, coal, fur
niture, naval stores and cigars, and the
reduction in these classes is doubtless
due to the cutting off of the demand of
1897 for supplies for the Spanish army
and its officers. So, while the total Of
our exports to Cuba in October 1898
'oes not show a large percentage OF
s n over October 1897, the fact is ac-
counted for by the withdrawal of the
military demand; for the supplies which
the United States government is now
sending to its own army are not shown
in the statement of exports.
1t is expected that all the ports on the
island will be open by January and tbs
increase of their imports from the Unit
ed States, which may be expected wher
normal conditions shall have been fully
