OUR TRADE WITH CUBA
REPORT OF SPECIAL AGENT C. M.
PEPPER.

Special Agent Charles M. Pepper OF the
Department of Commerce and Labor. in re-
porting on his investigation Of trade condi-
tions in Cuba, predicts increased markets
for the United States. He says that while
the exports Of Cuba In the last few years
have exceeded the imports, the present year
Is likely to show a more evenly balanced
condition. with the United States selling the
island $50, 600 600 worth of products He an
tfcipates no falling off In the import trade.
Notwithstanding that the buying ability of
the island will be lessened through the de-
creased production of sugar and the lower
price obtained for 1t. In spite OF the drop
both in production and In price, Mr.. Pep
per does not regard the industry as facing
a grave crisis, though he says, there wilt
be depression later In the year. The sugar
industry of Cuba, he states. is now on a
modern economic basis, ami that this profits
are to be judged by a series OF years rather
than by single season.
There also, he says Is shortage In the
tobacco crop, due to floods. and that this
reduces the output. which usually amounts
to $2s,0Oo0O0. by at least 5000. 900.
In an analysis Of the markets for American
products Mr.. Pepper considers that In some
forms OF iron and steel manufactures and
In electrical apparatus. railway equipment
and rolling stock. agricultural implements,
sewing machines, typewriters weighing
scales and bicycles, the United States has
leves that in spite of the reciprocity reduc-
tons on sugar machinery, this country is
not getting its full share of the business.
He. also points out how the manufacture
ers of household hardware may extend
the sale of their goods
In foodstuffs he says that the United
States can continue to monopolize the
flour trade by educating the Cuban popu-
lation to greater consumption of flour
Mr.. Pepper says there Is an opportunity
for increased sales of cheap and durable
forms of mems footwear.
Regarding trade extension, he calls at
tention to the recommendations of the
United States minister and the various
consuls with regard to invoices. packing,
local customs, and more especially cred
it's With respect to the latter, he says
the United States exporters can afford to
make some concessions to meet the cred
it's offered by European houses.
Mr. Pepper estimates the amount of
United States capital invested in Cuba to
be between Sf15000o00 and Sl20,00o,000.
One reason for the small number of set
tiers to which he makes allusion, Is the
high price at which the American syndi-
Gates hold unimproved lands. He does
not look for a heavy American colonial
ton until these excessive land values are
reduced The report gives full particulars
regarding the various forms of agricul-
ture fruit raising, vegetable growing. etc,
which offer good prospects for American
farmers.

Amount Of Shipments Of Canned Meats
Falls Below the Averase-Loss In
That One Item Amounts to 1887, 458
In Month of July.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 22.-The
really serious side of the recent expos
ures concerning the meat packing in
dustries, both to cattle growers and to
the country in general, is just coming
to light, and as the figures are set
forth by the latest reports Of the de-
partment of commerce and labor, they
are not to be overlooked. There has
been an enormous falling or in the
meat exports; one which, If continued
or spread to other industries, might
we'll menace the trade of the country.
The gravity of the situation is evidenc-
ed by the figures, for, while in July,
1904, the canned meat exported
amounting to 5,252, 1914 pounds, with a
value Of s542,168, the shipments dur
ing the month just ended shows only
a total of 1,o39,852 pounds, with a
value of s1O4,710. The real import
decrease of more than S5,25O,00O is ap-
parent Even the exports of cattle
were affected, since July 1905, saw ex-
ports of more than $4,000 head at a
value Of nearly $3,000,00O, while last
July showed falling off of over $4,000
head, worth over $500 000-another
Item of 100000 if carried out on an
annual basis. 1t is believed, however,
by local experts that the decrease will
be only temporary. The honor Of the
government, it has recently been an
nounced, is more important than the
conviction of million criminals, and
while it does not follow that its for
eign trade is more important than the
eradication of even one evil, but rather
to the contrary, since it's honor is there
Involved, the situation is one which
