AMERICAN CONSTRUCTION MA.
TERIALS FOR PROSPECTIVE
CUBA.

Cuba's prosperity has resulted in
extensive plans for new sugar mills,
new railways, and many other phases
of engineering activity, all of which
will mean new orders for American
construction material and machinery
according to an official survey of the
situation recently completed by
Special Agent w. w. Ewing, of the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, Department Of CONNER
ce.
A number Of new sugar mills are
projected for this season, and rail-
way construction and extension is
icing planned on considerable
scale. The heavy traffic movement of
both sugar and general merchandise
will make necessary a great develop
ment of the wharf facilities, and the
greater warehouse space and other
port improvements is apparent.
Modern hotel buildings are already
being planned and sites acquired in
order to meet the demand of the
tourist traffic. Many other indica-
tions of engineering activity are to
be seen in all parts Of the island.
The United States is in the best po-
sition to supply the materials needed
for al snch improvements.
Mr.. Ewing's report is entitled
Market Materials and Machinery in
Cuba" Special Agents Series No.
l39. It deals with present building
activities and with the demand for
general construction materials, floor
ing materials, roofing materials,
for interior finish,
and construction machinery and
tools. There is also a chapter on
commercial practices and require
:nents and several pages Of statisti.
cal tables. Although the booklet con-
tains 81 RACES, copies may be OBJ
tanned at the nominal price of 10
cents from any district or coopera-
tive offices Of the Bureau Of Foreign
