THE TRADE OF CUBA


ted States and Cuba, present and past.
are the subject of document just is
sued by the Department of Commerce
and Labor through its Bureau of Sta
tistics. The United States imports
from Cuba have always exceeded in
value the United States exports TO
Cuba. This fact has been due, not to
lack of appreciation of United States
products and merchandise on the part
of the Cubans, nor yet to a lack of pur-
chasing power on their part, but rather
to the fact that Cuba has happened
of commerce and trade which are
and ever have been in active and al
most universal demand in the United
States, namely sugar and tobacco. II
it were not for these staples the bal
ance of trade between the United
States and Cuba would show a record
against Cuba instead of against the
United States:
The volume of trade between the two
countries and the ratio of imports to
exports have been subject to many
and wide fluctuations, and the trade
has not been as steadily progressive
in character as is usual between ma
lions at peace with each other and
closely connected in business relations,
as, for example, in the case of the
trade of the United States with the
United Kingdom or with Germany.
The total trade between the two
countries was in round numbers $685.
100000 in 1856 and s31 ,O0O,O 900 in 1856,
s54,000,000 in 1857, and only s34 ,OOO, 900
in 1858. In 1872 it had advanced to
$50, 0e0. 600 and in 1874 to $105 ZOO, 900 (tle
largest on record, only to recede
again in 1875 to $4,000, 600. In 1878 it
declined to sos, O0O,O 0O in 1882 advanced
to sS2,000,000 and in 1885 fell back to
s51, 100000. In 1893 it reached $1O3,-
100000, but in 1888 was only $24, 000, 900,
and has now, in 1903, crept back to
sS4, 00O, 600.
Further examination shows surpris-
ing variations in the ratio of exports
to imports. The ratio of the domestic
exports from the United States to
Cuba, as compared with the United
States imports therefrom, was in 1851,
about 1 to 8; in 1857 about / to 5; in
1858 about 1 to 2; in 1859, about 1 to 3;
in 1866, about 8 to 5; in 1869, about
to 8; in 1872, about to 5; in 1882, about
1 to s.: in 1898, about l to 8; in 1896,
about to IL; in 1898, about to 8; in
1899. about 8 to 4; in 1900, about to
6; and in 1903, about to 8 again.
These fluctuations in the Cuban
trade have been due mainly to four
causes: % Occasional revolutions and
wars in Cuba; 1(2) occasional injuries
to Cuban crops by hurricanes and
droughts; (S) variations in the mar
ket prices of sugar and tobacco, and
ca changes in the tariffs Of the two
countries.
Thus, taFing the case of sugar as the
most important item In Cuban trade
and commerce, the tables show great
both in the size of the
crops and in the values Of the sugar
exported from the island. The differ
ence in the size Of the crops have
been owing, in the main, partly to in
ternal disturbances and partly to I'M
favorable weather conditions. The
figures are given in the following ta-

COMMISSIONER FRYE
OUT FOR HAYES.
Continued From Page One.

no one believes that they will be a per-
sonal machine for his candidacy.
Mr.. Halves was downtown most Of the
day. He received the congratulations OF
many OF his friends on the Developments
of the last twenty-four hours. He has
been a member OF the Police Board for
five years, and Is the author Of the pres
ent police manual, acknowledged to be one
Of thu best in tho country. He has q per-
sonal acquaintance with nearly every po-
liceman on the force and IS popular among
them. There was much speculation re-
garding the significance of the develop
ments.
1t is not thought that to-day's meeting
Of the Police Board will bring about any
aprreciabie difference in the conduct of
the department. AS announced in The
Republic yesterday. Mr.. Frye probably
will be chosen President and Mr.. Ballard
be made Vice President.
HANLON CONGRATULATED.
Mr.. Kanlon received many congratula-
tons from business associates not only in
st. Louis. but from all parts Of the State.
These came from Republicans and Demo-
Gratis alike and bore evidences Of the
heartiest good will.
In the afternoon Mr.. Hanlon was sur
priscd to find the entire staff Of employees
Of the Richard c. Hanlon Company as
semblcd at his office door.
On coming out he was greeted By c. ".
Adams. who. on behalf Of tho employees,
said that he desired to present the con-
gratulations of his associates. He gave
to Mr.. Hanlen two beautiful floral piecea
These consisted OF handsome horse
shoe of roses and lilies of the valley. and
large shield, across the front Of which
We're the letters "B. p. c." representing
Board OF Police Commissioners"
Mr.. Hanlon responded by saying that II
the telephone call which informed him of
his appointment the night before was
surprise. this testimony Of good will was
equally unexpected. He thought. perhaps,
that congratulations would DO moro ap-
prppriate after his term Of office was nm
ished. 1t would be his effort. however. to
deserve them then.
C. +. Obcrbcck. on behalf of tho men:
Mrs Mabel Leisen. on behalf Of the ladies.
and Thomas Mcguire Of the shipping de-
partment. made brief speeches of con-
gratulations to the new Commissioner.
