BASEBALL GOSSIP.

George Leidy, who managed the Monroe team in the Cotton States league last year, thinks that Fred Moore, who has been signed by Birmingham for this sea- son, will certainly make good. Moore played second base for Leidy last year and helded abou, 1915 and hit about ..25O. With a little encouragement this season from the Birmingham people and the management. Leicy thinks that the youngster will deliver an article of goods not before seen around the short stop regions.
 "I think that he is the greatest second baseman ever saw" said Leidy yester- day. And if he gets the right start in Birmingham there is no telnng wha, he will do. He will field at short better than Tamsett did last year, and he will bat better. He is fast on his feet. has fine arm and whips a ball to first like a shot out of gun, and is a good base runner. believe he can te made a good hitter.
 eYou know he was tried out by Connie Mack for the Athletics in tho American league three years ago, but was crowded out of place for an older man and a little better hitter. His fielding was all that was required.
 "As for myself, I will camp in Andy Roth's left garden in Augusta, in the South Atlantic. this season, and I feel as fit as a fiddle to commence training right away. I signed my contract today. Andy will have a cracking good team T L l. and he should finish we'll up in the lea gue."

. bIG GAIN SHOWN
 IN CUBAN TRADE Imports Increase Under the Re-
 ciprocity Treaty TWO SETS OF FIGURES cuba's Trade With Other Countries of the World Than the United States Also Shows Handsome
 Increase.
TWO SETS OF FIGURES

Washington, February 9.-(Special)- Figures of the trade ot tho United States with Cuba under the reciprocity treaty are published by the Department of Com merce and Labor through it's bureau of statistics. These statements include two sets of figures d) the report of the United States government showing the total value of its imports from and exports to each country of the world, including Cuba, during the full calendar year 1904, and @ the report of the Cuban govern ment, showing it's imports from and ex- ports to each country of the world dur ing the first half of the calendar year 1904 As the reciprocity treaty with Cuba began practically with the beginning of the calendar year 1904 December zi, 1903) the figures of the year or half year 1904 compared with the corresponding period of the preceding year, give an opportunity to compare the trade under the reciprocity treaty with that of corres- bonding periods of the year or years im- mediately preceding.
 Gain of Eighteen Millions.
 The figures of the United States govern ment showing It's total imports from and exports to each country of the world show that the imports from Cuba in the calendar year 1904 under the reciprocity treaty were STA, 950,992 in value, against s57, ,22s, ,291 in 1903. This indicates an in- crease of practically Oo,0O0, or 3l per cent. During that same priod our total imports from the West Indies. including Cuba, but excluding Porto Rico from con- sideration. grew from s74,s9O,69 69O in 1903 to sS9, ,561, ,026 in 1904. an increase of but $l4,- b00,000 or 20 per cent. Thus the entire increase in our imports from the West Indies occurred in the trade with Cuba the imports from the West Indies islands showing in practically every case de- crease as compared with the preceding year. The total imports into the United States in 1904 were $l,0S5,909,197, against s995 494, ,327 in 1908, an increase of $40. 100000 or but per cent. Thus the imports from Cuba increase 31 per cent while the i'm ports from other sections of the West Indies were decreasing. and the total imports into the United States from all countries were increasing but per cent.
 Turning to the export side the figures of the United States government show total exports to Cuba in the calendar year 1904 valued at s32, ,6i4345, against so3 504, AT in 1903 an increase of $9,13992S. or 3s.9 per cent The total exports to all
