numerous forms in which tobacco is
used are not manufactured in Cuba
Tobacco is raised as an article of COM
merce in but four of the six provinces
of Cuba. Pinar del Rio, Habana, Santa
Clara and Santiago de Cuba. although
there is no question bat that 1t could be
advantageously raised in the other two.
One of the industries which is now
practically dead, but which was form
erly the source of wealth and fame to
the island. is coffee raising. 1t is one
of the industries for which great flu
ture is promised, since it is known that
for richness, favor and the productive
capacity of the trees the coffee of Cuba
is not surpassed by that of any other
West India island or by South America.
History of Coffee Production.
In the years 1913 and 1916 violent
hurricanes visited Cuba and seriously
damaged the coffee crop. Owing to
these disasters the increased coffee
trade Of the East Indies and SoUtb
America and the larger and more GER
tain profits of sugar cultivation, the
coffee industry of Cuba rapidly de-
clined and by 1850 the amount export
ed was but 192,060 arrobas The cof-
fee plantations were converted to other
uses and the trade in coffee practically
disappeared. The worlds estimated
coffee crop of 1900 is 15.2S5,0O0 bags OF
134A pounds each OF this amount
Cuba is credited with 10000 bags, not
enough for home consumption. A con-
sideration of these facts may result in
the revival of this important industry,
which, under cree institutions, it is be.
lieved will regain its former position
among the agricultural resources of
Cuba.
The raising of stock. which used to
be one of the important resources of the
country. is no longer of any Importance,
excessive taxes having driven the land
owners into other branches of farm
production. There are, however, few

For many years the tobacco trade of
Cuba was a crown monopoly, with a
royal Office and warehouse at Havana
and branch houses throughout the
provinces. In these storehouses the
planters could store their tobacco, re-
ceiving such prices as might be estab-
lished by the crown for each crop. In
later years the tobacco monopoly was
sold to private companies and was
again resumed by the crown in 1760.
Finally in 1917 by a royal decree the
trade and cultivation of tobacco were
declared free on payment of tax by
each planter equivalent to one-twen-
tieth of the product, Since that date
the taxes have varied. but have usually
been very high.

on broader scale, although it showed
but little improvement so far as outside
interest was concerned. Bears were in

both public and private advices reported
from 70 per cent total damage in three of

the market began to take upward spurts.
European advices on this score however,
were disappointing, neither Antwerp nor

western movement seems to have begun
again, but this was hardly taken into ac-
count, and liberal purchases for export

buying that marked the market the past

THE OUTLOOK
VERY BRIGHT
Americans Have No Cause to
Worry Over the Industrial Sit
uation as Business Continues
Very Active Indeed 5
COLLECTIONS EASY
EVEN-IN THE SOUTH
Iron and Steel Mills Have Con-
tracts to Keep Them Going I'm
til the Middle Of Next Year
Scarcity of Leather Stock is
Noteworthy

New York, Oct 25.-R. G. Dun and
company in its weekly review of trade
tomorrow will say:
With mills, factories and furnaces as
sured of full operation until the end OF
the year as rule, and many contracts
already running far into 1902, there is
no occasion for anxiety regarding its
industrial situation. Jobbers are still
urgently asking prompt deliveries by
manufacturers of staple lines, while
opening transactions in fancy goods
for the holidays are usually early,
showing that dealers anticipate a large
trade. Retail distribution of heavy
weight wearing apparel and other sea-
sonable goods is checked by the tardl-
ness of low temperatures which is ex-
tremely fortunate in many cases where
makers have been unable to fill orders
according to specifications. Prices of
commodities rule firm and collections
are satisfactory, even southern pay
ments coming forward promptly now
that the tardy cotton crop has begun
to move freely.
Each week the situation as to iron
and steel becomes more encouraging,
orders now running to the middle of
1902 in many finished products, East
eHn IndheTS Vi DODlS anu SllVSo are Sun
engaged on late orders for
winter goods and contracts come in
freely from the west for spring lines.
A much larger capacity will be in OPP
Grafton next year. Prices are unchang
ed, but the rise in leather makes it
difficult to defer advances, while dis
tant contracts are not sought at cur
rent figures. In leather the scarcity
of stocks is noteworthy, the largest
local concern taking the occasion to
whitewash the walls of store rooms
which are not usually so easily access
ible Owing to the inability to get
leather there is less activity, but prices
are held at the top. In wooden goods
conditions are quiet on account of the
warm weather but mills are fully oc-
cupied and producers of knit goods
have orders for some time. Strength in
the raw material is CONSPICUOUS, mills
buying freely. In cotton goods the sit
uation is disturbed by the action of a
large manufacturer who advanced
wages per cent a short time ago and
again this week announced a per
cent raise to go into effect on NoY.4.
More satisfactory prices are received
by domestic wheat growers. last
years figures being surpassed not
withstanding the largely increased
yield just harvested. Smaller crops q
other cereals and hay caused the use of
much wheat in fattening live stock
and with lard more than two cents
above last years prices and mess
pork So a barrel higher, this has been
a most profitable proceeding.
Failures for the week numbered in
the United States 24O aginst 2O5 last
