From this table IL becomes apparent. in the hrst
place. that our trade and commerce with Cuba
have greatly increased during the three months OF
reciprocity. as compared with the corresponding
three months a year ago; I'm the second place. that
the increase pertains both 20 the imports from and
the exports 10 cuba. and in tho tnird place, that
this increase. both in imports and In exports. has
been progressive-that is TO say that both in
imports and IN exports tho figures larger for
February, 1895. than for January 1904. and larger
for March. 1904 than for February. 1901 Il Is seen
that under reciprocity, in three months. our ex-
ports 20 cuba have increased from t5.2ll.OS3-the
figures OF year ago-to Ss.4s5l49 or nearly % per
cent; that imports from Cuba have increased
from I1.94s.5g7 80 2l7.ls0. IS per cent; and
that our total trade with Cuba has increased from
u7.15s66o TO 81 712s2S. more than 20 per cent.
An examination OF tho figures OF the fiscal year.
for the periods ended with January. February and
March. 1906 with January, February and March.
