ifal thought that there would probably
be some interference with exports from
this country, extra cost of marine in

free Cuba will more than overbalance
all losses from those and kindred
sources. The Cuban republic is going TO
offer glorious field for the investment
of American capital. The large inter
ests we already have in Cuba are badly
damaged, bat the land remains, and
when peace is restored we shall obtain
titles from the new authorities, begin
extensive improvements and catch right

for investment. Oh, there'll be lots Of
business when the cruel war is over,
and we may be happy yet, you bet.
Choosing Place to Summer.
Speaking of the check put upon the
usual annual exodus to Europe calls to
mind the confiicting stories that are
atioat about the effect of the war on the
seashore resorts. The proprietors of
mountain resorts are jubilant over what
they are assured is reliable evidence
that the summer filters will not fit TO
the seashore this year. A man who rep
resents half dozen Adirondack hotels
was in the city the other day, and he
voiced the opinion of interior resort
men in these words: II find that the
average unattached woman who wants
to go to a summer hotel prefers going
to some place that is not ON the sea
shore, and this feeling is of course ben
eticial to the Adirondack resorts. One
woman who has taken a cottage for sew
eral seasons at an inland New Jersey
town told me that she had read of tor
pedoes travelling IL miles and doing
great damage, and she wasn't going to
take any chances while the war was on. -
On the other hand, it is reported that
there has not been much of falling of
in the number of cottages rented for
the summer at Newport and other SINH
lar resorts. There doesn't seem to be
much fear of the Spanish torpedo at
New England or Long Island sound re-
sorts, but there can be little doubt that
there will be "a considerable falling off
at places on the New Jersey coast. A
travelling man who had Just returned
from trip through the New Jersey
coast towns told me the other day that
he did absolutely no business. The
shopkeepers were very much discouraged
and expected most of the cottages to be
vacant during the summer.
Unexampled Wa Prices.
In wartimes the people always expect
TO pay more for things than III times of
peace, and their expectations are usual
iy fulfilled. Therefore it is rather sur
prising to note at this time the down
