TO report from Havana published In
Bordeaux periodical.
Partisan firms send large illustrated
catalogues I'm the Spanish language
containing minute description OF the
articles offered for sale. together with
detailed information concerning the
methods of ordering by mail. one Of
these firms has n local agent I'm Hav-
ana for the purpose of collecting and
forwarding such mail orders and of
delivering the goods upon their arrlv-
al I'm Cuba. There is said to be an es-
pecially active business i'm ladies fine
underwear (lingerie) and dress goods.
From Feb. 4. 1907. 10 May 4. 1908,
nearly $4,000 parcels, representing a
value OF some $iS2,5OO. arrived by
mail from France. Since then this
business has grown To still greater di-
mansions. The reasons for this in
crease of direct business with French
sellers Is. according To report the out
come OF the extremely high retail
prices prevailing in Havana and other
Cuban cities where the trade Is said
TO secure profits ranging from so 20
200 per cent in the sale of French
goods.
The single difficulty barring the way
to possible enormous business i'm the
mail order lime Is that OF credit AMI
money remittances. 10 convention
has been consummated between tho
two nations regarding an international
money order system.
With the question Of rapid transpor-
tation, customs notifications, and sim
gularly excellent banking facilities in
operation between the United States
and Cuba, the possibilities of a thriv-
ing mail order business with the lat
ter country Is not to be disregarded.
especially as the United States pro-
duces similar and equally as good ar
ticles as France sends over to Cuba.
