AMERICAN GOODS IN CUBA.

I find American goods for sale almost
everywhere i'll Havana. They are ham
died by CubanS, Spaniards and AmerI-
cans and are imported 10th direct from
the United States and through COM
mission houses. There are altogether
about twenty-five American mercantile
firms and also agencies Of many large
American houses. The Armours, Swifts
and Cudahys have meat establish
ments selling lard, hams and canned
stuffs. There are several American
drug stores, an American news stand,
a whiskey dealer or so. and a large
number of real estate firms.
one of the biggest American estab-
lishments is that of the Harris Brothers
or O'Reilly street not far from the
Prado. This firm sells all sorts of
American office furniture and supplies,
stationery and notions. II has a big
acetyline gas business, having put in
hundreds of acetyline light plants at
sugar mills. small towns and houses
throughout the island, which it sup
plies with carbide. The Harris boys
came here from Florida just about the
time the war closed with less than
$4,000 and opened a store for typewrit-
ers, bicycles and office supplies. They
did about S100, 900 worth of business the
first year and since then have steadily
increased until now they have not only
retail establishments in Havana but
also a considerable wholesale trade
throughout the island. They tell me
there are plenty of chances here for
sober and industrious Americans with
honesty and a fair amount Of brains.
They have trouble in finding good men
for their own work, and say that this
is the case with others.

AMERICAN GOODS BY MAIL.

I find that many of our American
houses are sending goods here by mail
This is with the big Chicago mail
order houses and also the leading mer-
chants of other cities. Lord & Taylor,
John Wanamaker. Arnold & Consta BILE
and other New Workers are doing such
a retail business with Cuba, and a
number of such houses have open ac-
counts with people throughout Cuba.
Many Cuhans come to the United
States, and there arrange to have goods
sent to them. Some big firms send
men here to drum up such accounts,
and altogether a great deal of business
is done which does not show in our
trade reports
A commercial traveller representing
one of the largest department stores Of
the United States, for instance, tells
me that he is selling many fine editions
of the English and American novels and
sets Of costly dictionaries. He has sold
within the past three months $50, 900
worth of teu-volume dictionary; the
finest bindings are in chief demand, and
the sets average S125 apiece. This man
says he takes many orders for dresses
from Cuban women, our shirtwaist
suits being especially popular. He is
selling American Shoes hardware and
furniture and. indeed, almost every
thing that is handled in an American
store. He finds the Cubans
friendly to Americans. They buy large
Iy and are easy to sell.

THE SUGAR SURPLUS.

'tBut much of Cuba s surplus is from
sugar, the price of which is liable to
fall?''
"Sugar may fall replied the con-
sui general. "Indeed, I believe that a
lower price would be for the good of
this island. 1t would prevent infla-
ton and put US on sounder business
basis. Sugar is bound to bring fair
price IN the future, and this is the
chief sugar country of the world. Cuba
can produce more on the same area at
a lower cost than any other country.
They talk about the Philippine Islands
as possible competitor of Cuba in
the sugar industry That is ridiculous.
we can raise sugar here for less than
the freight on the manufactured prod
uet from the Philippines to the United
states. We can lay our sugar down in
New Orleans at lower cost than SUI
gar can be produced on the Louisiana
plantations. The conditions for this in
dustry are almost perfect in Cuba.
There is no land like it,

eyes, from all parts of the United
States, and many of them are investing
in lands and other properties. The ma
jority of those now here are men of
money, who make large purchases.
They are entirely different from the
Americans who overran Cuba at the
close of the war. Those were mostly
the struggling offscourlng of our army
and adventures without money, whose
chief idea was to get something FOR
nothing and to sell it for a big price.
Those now arriving bring money with
them or have such backing at home
that they can pay for what they buy.
Indeed, cash is a necessity in making
purchases here. The Cubans who sell
want goodly proportion of their
money down and the balance on very
short time. The lands are held in large
tracts. 1t is easy to find good invest
ments embracing from 1000 to 100000
acres each, but it is almost impossible
to buy small farms of Cubans. Such
farms are for sale at much higher
prices from the Americans who buy the
large tracts.'

'Our sugar industry is only about

tens of thousands of acres which will
