TERMS:
RECIPROCITY WITH CUBA.

A convention of Cuban trade and
producers associations. held in Hava-
ma a few days ago, adopted commit
tee report strongly commendatory of
the present reciprocal arrangements
between the United States and Cuba
and recommending a renewal of the
treaty, which has only about two and
one half years to run. The report sug
concessions on American reports
The standpat interests in the United
States have already begun work
against the renewal of the BlissZaldo
treaty Their contention against the
treaty rests mainly on the fact that the
balance of trade between Cuba and the
United States was $5,0O0O00 in 1900,
when Cuba was practically beggared,
and $51 100000 in 1905, when Cuba had
much to- sell and the means to buy
with 1t is as tho the blacksmith
hould refuse the grocer's trade because
end of the year.
Referring to this comparison, the
New York Tribune, the acknowledged
leader of the republican press, says
that such comparison proves nothing
and insists that the only proper way
to test the effectiveness of the reci-
procity policy is to contrast trade rela-
lions in the period before the insur-
rection. when conditions were normal,
with trade relations now.
The Tribune gives figures as fol-
lows.
In 1895 Cuban exports to the Unit
ed States were valued at So, ,259,
While our exports to Cuba were valued
at $12,S07,661. We bought more than
four times as much as we sold. In
1896 Cuba sold us goods valued at $4O,-
017,O00, while our sales to Cuba
to s7,53S,0OO. The ratio of
purchases to sales was 5A to J.. In
1905 our purchases We're $95,S57.S56,
and our sales were $44,569, S12-a ratio
of little over 2 to l.
This ratio will probably be reduced
in 1905 to 1 Y or ~ to 1. In 1905 sugar
prices were high and 20 per cent of
our imports from Cuba We're sugar.
This year there has been drop both
in production and price. and according
to a report by Special Agent Charles M.
Pepper, just transmitted to congress,
we shall pay Cuba about $55,000,000
this year for sugar, instead of $72000,-
600 as in 1905. Our imports will, in Mr..
Peppers opinion, increase from $44,-
569,S12 to about s5OO000O0, while our
will fall from $95,S57,S56 to
between s65.000,000 and S75O0o,0o0
Such showing will put all critics of
the -Zaldo treaty to rout and
should make the renewal of the in
strument, when properly amended, a
matter of course.

| Kansas City.-Retail business is inn

parts of the south are asking for few
extensions owing to dry weather, but

conditions.
Omaha.-Trade conditions are quite
favorable. sales showing decided m
crease over last year and more fav-

mess is quite active.
Boston.-Textile mills are generally
we'll occupied. with prices on cotton
and wooden goods firm, owing to the
high cost of raw material. Print cloths
are sold up to July and some recent
contracts call for fall delivery. Shoe
manufacturers are we'll supplied with
orders and leather and all materials
are firm.
Providence.-Retail trade is normal,
the large department. stores report
steady growth in volume. Manufac-
turers of jewelry are generally busy,
and the scarcity of experienced help is
felt in some quarters. Prices OF cot
ton goods generally are maintained,
but the market is now somewhat IN
active. Fine yarn fabrics are in fair
demand The high price of raw mate
rails still operates to the disadvantage
of manufacturers of woolens and wors-
teds and has resulted in placing on the
market goods of inferior quality in cot
ton mixtures and shoddies. The de-
mand for machinery and tools is stlll
good.
New Hayen.-Trade conditions con-
tinue very satisfactory. and the de-
mand for hardware and metal goods is
well UP to expectations. Manufactur-
ers of hats have had PARTICULAR!
good season. Collections on the whole
have been somewhat slow. Retall
trade is now better.

tons are still somewhat irregular, but
at! most cities payments are improv-

encouraging now that the San Francis
