COTTON MARKET
LOOKS TIRED

NEW YORK. July 20. - Houses with
private wires continued their efforts to
sell this morning, and the whole cotton
market had q tired appearance at the
opening, partly due to poor cables and
lntimations from private sources that
Europe might reluctantly follow an ad-
vance, but would not lead one unless
crop conditions changed materially.
Weather in the belt today was very
favorable
The market continued easier later in
the morning, declining to around 1079

1t is worthy of mention, however,
that the export trade from the United
States has rapidly increased. as it only
amounted 10 $23, 5o90CJ in 1902 and S23.-
00O. 900 IN 1908
American expectations to Cuba dur
ing 1904 have been the largest on record,
1905. The expectations of Cuban products
to the United States during 1904 show an
increase OF l7,722, 701 over 1903. and
$26. 33I 404 over 1902
The reasons are the almost. complete
restoration of Cuba's agricultural
wealth which had been destroyed by the
revolution. the wonderful crops of sugar
and tobacco gathered in 1904 which beat
ali records for quantity and for quality
and last, but not least the beneficial ef-

HAVANA. July 20.-The best demon
strution of the efficacy of the treaty of
reciprocity existing between the United
States and Cuba is the increase of the
Iade between the two countries dur
ing 1904. as shown by the report just re
ceived here from Cuban Consul General
Zayas. of New York
According 10 this report. the total
trade. exports and imports, amounted
to S105 100000. of which Cuba exported to
the United States $74.950. g92. and i'm
ported from the United States So, ,644. .345.
Absorbs Cuba's Sugar.
The difference of $42. 500, ,G47 in favor OF
Cuba is explained by the fact that the
total amount Of Cuba's sugar production
is consumed in the United States, and
also because the imports into Cuba from
the United States must naturally be in
proportion with the population OF Cuba,
