bulk of the rice annually consumed by the
Cuban population is of very cheap grades OF
East India product. which transsh1pped
from Hamburg and from Liverpool. While the
American trade may be increased, the United
Kingdom and Germany for many years to come
are likely to have the prmacy in these ship
ments Of rice, which form large an item in
the total Of their commerce with Cuba
The reverse side of Cuban trade must be seen
from a detailed statement of the expectations.
but there can hardly be said TO exist seven
leading articles of export which enter into gen
eral commerce, nor in the nature OF Things can
the Cuban exports be distributed to other coun-
tries in the same proportion or anything like
the same proportion as the imports for the
bulk Of the expectations always must be sugar,
which is taken by the United States. Tobacco
mas wider market. but 1t seeks the United
States in preference to other countries. After
sugar and tobacco the chief expectation value
would be the iron ore and the manganese eX-
ported from Santiago Province; but as an arti-
Gle of general commerce fruits and nuts are
given. The total of this trade is quite inslgnln-
cant compared with the value of the great sta
pie crops of sugar and tobacco. yet there Is a
steady growth in the shipments of pineapples,
bananas and cocoanuts. This appears from the
comparison of the last quarter Of 1899 with the
last quarter of 1900. In the former the value
In the last three months of 1900. The first three
months OF 1901 show apparent increase but
that is because 1t is not the season of heavy
shipments.
Tobacco and cigars show nothing like the
variations that the sugar crop shows The cult
ure of tobacco was not seriously interfered with
during the insuTection, and as 1t Is three
months crop the recuperation of that industry
was very quick. The expectations during the
first quarter of 1901 were a tri1e more than
S75OOOO in excess of the first quarter OF 1879.
1t should be noted that the present season was
not a good one for tobacco, while two years ago
1t was exceptionally favorable.
THE ISLANDS EXPORTS.
The great increase is shown in sugar exporta-
tions the amount for the first quarter or lSol
being double the amount for the first quarter
of 1899 Last year the drouth was a heavy blow
to the sugar industry and kept the production
down so that the total expectations were about
half what they will be this year. II is chlehy
to the exports Of sugar that the f1nanciers ana
merchants of Havana are looking as a means
OF Iessening the balance of trade against the
island How far this may be counted on ap-
pears from the figures given below, 1t being
understood that the bulk OF the sugar always Is
exported during the first half of the year The
totals are given by years. well as the grand
total for the twenty-seven months.

WORK OF TARIFF COMMISSION.

preparing new schedules has been appealed to
for a revision Of rates that will show
favor 10 exporters from the United States.
Though the revision has not been made public.
il seems TO be understood that there will be no
marked discrimination The trouble with the
American exporters is that they still insist on
regarding Cuba dumping place for surplus
products and few of them are willing to adapt
their goods as closely to it's markets as do the
German and English exporters. Louisiana rice
growers have appealed for a duty which would
enable them to get their share of the trade in
rice but the tariff commission has FOUND no

A comparative exhibit by quarterly periods is
valuable, as showing how the trade with the
different countries has fuctuated during the

served that the first six months OF 1899 are
hardly a relative measure OF commerce. be-
cause the conditions were far from normal AT
that time there were fifty thousand American
troops in the island. Moreover, the importers
had let their stocks become exhausted during

A better analysis OF the trade tendencies may

articles of merchandise imported into Cuba and
exported from II during the twenty y-seven
months covered by the American administration,
when there is every reason 10 believe that GUS
toms valuations have been far more correct than
in former years. This analysis also may furnish
food for thought for the American merchants
who expected that the trade Of Cuba would
become theirs without effort. 1t is not bad

illustrates not only the tenacity with which
other nations cling to their trade. but the enter

THE IMPORTS FROM SPAIN.

II may excite interest TO note that during the
first quarter OF 1901 there was imported from
Spain merchandise valued at only $500, 900 less
than during the first quarter of 1899. The ex-
ports from Spain have not varied anything like
so widely as the exports from the United States
or, in fact. from most Of the other countries
Germany shows fairly large relative gain ris-
ing from S291 900 in the first quarter Of 1899
TO SlO12,o00 in the first quarter OF 1901. Great
Britain. or the United Kingdom, also shows a
fair relative gain, rising from 81 800 600 in the
first quarter OF 1899 TO s., 2,243.OOO in the first
quarter Of 1901. But 1t should be noted that
second quarter OF 1899. The fluctuations Of
British trade now within the limits Of $500
600 quarterly, and there is steady relative
gain. as in the OF Germany France ex-
cept for an abnormal jump during the third
quarter OF 1899, shows a small relative de-
crease. Practically its commerce with Cuba is
stationary.
OF the general total II VIII be observed that
the United States does not have half the total
amount Of Cuban importations by round $12-
100000. Spain, on her part, comes after the
United States. with a volume Of exports to
Cuba which is less than one-third the volume
from the United States, while there is diff
ference of only a few hundred thousand dollars
between the United Kingdom and Spain during
the period covered by the statistics. This is
shown by a glance at the figures below:
