CUBA AND SPAIN.
A Historical Sketch From The Outlook for
April

to take a brief retrospect Of the
causes which produced that condi
ton. Broadly speaking, it may
truly be said that the history of Cuba
is one continuous story of misgov-
ernment. Since Cuba's first settle
melt by Spaniards in l5il, Spain
has regarded it as source of in
come rather than an integral part
of it's kingdom. Columbus called it
"the most beautiful land that eyes
ever beheld." Its fertility is no less
than its beauty, but it's immense pro.
ductive power has been only half
developed. In early days it was
constantly threatened by tilibustcrs
and buccaneers, and lis trade was
carried on by !. single chartered com
pany. In l1CG England held Hav,
ana for ten months, and under an
open trade system Cuba's commerce
increased in those ten months many
fold. a similar result followed in
1918, when Spain for short time
adopted liberal trade policy. AS Il
rule, however, the Spanish policy
has been to discriminate against the
commerce Of Cuba, to wiring the last
coin possible in the way OF taxes,
and, worst Of all, to intlct upon the
unhappy island a long series of Gov
ernors whose only aim was TO get
rich rs soon as possible and return
to Spain. 1t is common talk, for IN
stance, that General Weyler was
much more anxious to enrich him.

GATHERING IN GAS COMPANIES
Philadelphia Concerns Operations

Paterson, n. j., Oct. 21.-A well-founded
rumor was current here this morning.
though strong effeort was made to conceal
It, that the United States Gas Improve
ment Company of Philadelphia had sue
ceeded in purchasing the controlling inter-
est in the two gas companies of this city.
The United Gas Improvement Company
has managed the gas companies of Pat
erson since about 1852 under the name of
the United Gas Improvement Company of
Paterson. This company controlled the
Peoples and the Paterson Gas Companies
paying to 10 per cent dividends
In some way. it is said, the United Gas
Improvement Company of Philadelphia
learned that the Paterson folk were en-
deavoring to secure the control of the To-
cal companies. They Immediately went
to work quietly and bought up what stock
was for sale and now have the local COM
panies firmly in their grasp.
1t is said that the United Gas Improve
ment paid over 200 for some of the stock
They now have complete control here as

THE STOCK MARKET.
After n Short Active Period, 1t Re-
sumes It's Quiet Tone.

New York. Oct. 21.-As has been the
case throughout the week. the stock mar
ket, after a brief period of activity at
the opening of business, relapsed into
profound quiet. Following also its tend
ency of the week, the market moved
within very narrow limits the trading
showing an entire absence of outside
pressure or of considerable demand. On
the other hand. 1t was plain that the
market was by no means without sup
port, which was presumably from sub
stantial sources. This was shown in the
manner in which the market ignored the
renewed selling here by foreign houses
and in its Indifference to the much lower
range of prices for American shares re-
ported from London. 1t would seem a
safe assumption that the very limited
local general demand for stocks would
have been quite inadequate TO absorb the
heavy foreign selling of the week unless
the former had been re-enforced by pur-
chases of a substantial nature, and the
course of prices shows clearly that this
has been the case. Before the close of
business on the London stock exchange
the market there enjoyed a substantial
recovery. The improvement was owing to
reports that the French government had
ordered Marchand to retire from Fa-
shoda. This intelligence caused a sharp
recovery in consols, and it was followed
also by pronounced reaction in wheat.
The latter movement was reflection of
the extent to which the apprehensions in
respect to the situation on the upper
Nile have been responsible for the heavy
export demand for wheat. In addition 20
this circumstance and the decline in con-
sols. the fact that war insurance risks
were being sought on British vessels is
proof enough that the Fashoda affair has
been regarded as holding grave possibili-
ties.
The day was otherwise rather feature
less. Sterling exchange rose sharply, re-
fiecting on the European money market
conditions but money lenders reported
the local market as showing rather easier
conditions. While the early drift of the
London market had been disregarded in
the local dealings, the recovery in the
former was, nevertheless, the signal for
a general advance in prices in the New
York market This advance took place
without much increased activity, and 1t
was apparently due chiefly TO the work

filling in the market in the meantime.

The trading in three stocks gave an
appearance of activity to the stock mar
ket yesterday, but subsequently it relaps-
ed into a state of dullness, from which
it only awoke for few minutes in the
last hour. The closer working OF money
abroad and the political situation there
again We're responsible for lower London
quotations. Foreign arbitrage houses sold
about 10000 shares of stocks. but later
the London market improved and they
bought back about 1900 shares On the
whole, the day was unsatisfactory and
gave little promise of activity today or
next week. A few people in the street
are of the opinion that there is to be a
rally in the market before the election,
the Town Topics bureau and Mr.. Carley
among them, but the larger part of the
traders still hold TO the idea that business
will be dull until after election and
prices weak.
