CANADA IN CUBAN MARKETS.
Exports of Potatoes and Goldfish Make New High Record in the Past Year.

Canada's trade with Cuba is grow ing rapidly, exports from the Domin- ion to the island republic reaching new high figures in the past year, aS- cording to J. c. Manzer, Canadian Trade Commissioner at Havana, who reports as follows: Cuban imports of potatoes from Canada for the past year were more than double any pre- ceding year and ruling prices were In the records of Cuban potato imports for 1917 Canada leads all other coun- tries combined, reaching a value of over three million dollars. These were supplied chiefly by the Provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. Shipments are sent forward weekly, beginning the last of August, as soon as the new crop is harvested, and lasting until the first of July of the following year, giving Canadians ten months of the Cuban potato trade.
 Canadian potatoes, because of their fine eating qualities and also because of the greater care given by shippers to tb9 sorting, packing and trans portation of these goods, have ac- quired an excellent reputation in Cuba, and Canadian potatoes are being sold fifty cents per barrel higher than any others on the market. This more than offsets the difference in the duty of twelve cents a barrel in favor of po- tatoes from the United States. Nearly all Canadian potatoes now arriving in Cuba come by steamer. from Boston
 The prices received by Canadian shippers during the past year for po- tatoes delivered in Cuba avera ged over $6 per 1S0 pounds. The highest price was reached in May, when one lot of one thousand was sold for $11 per sack of 1S9 pounds Cuba now buys upward of one million barrels and sacks of potatoes yearly
 Shipments of codfish from Canada to Cuba during 1917 were larger than ever before, During the past year Nova Scotia dealers have been making weekly shipments to Cuba via Boston of from 1500 to 5000 cases of 100 pounds each. Dealers report a mark en improvement in the quality of the fish from Nova iScotoa the past season. the fish being adopted the process used in Norway of drying by hot air), bet ter cleansed and packed than formerly and the price has been high all the year.
 A limited quantity of Canadian hay was shipped here the past year and sold for high prices, but the grea difficulty in securing transporta tion during the whole year greatly handi- capped the trade. Before the war hay was carried from Canadian points to Cuba via Boston for s10 per ton. It now costs $38 to s33 per ton to bring it over the same route.
 Since 1916 very few Canadian oats have been sent here. Prices have ruled high all the year. Shipments of lumber from Canada during the past year have been light owing to scar city of tonnage.

SUGAR RATION CERTIFICATES.
Must Be Used by Manufacturers Who
 Require Sugar Since May 15.

Beginning on Wednesday, May 15, according to an announcement made by the food administration, manufac- turers using sugar must purchase their sugar supplies on certificates is- sued by the food administration which will classify various lines of business and apportion them sugar as they appear more or less essential in war time. To stop any further apprehen- sion, it may be said right here that ice cream will be put in the preferred class and that all the necessary sugar will be given makers of ice cream, which the food administration be- lieves is essential and which uses up much of 'Connecticuts surplus milk, thereby encouraging Connecticut dali rymen to maintain and increase their herds against the postwar period when the whole world will be buying from America.
 Manufacturers of non-edible pro- ducts and manufacturers using su- gar, who, in the face of warnings and with full knowledge of the sugar sit uation, have begun business since Jan. 1, 1918, in many cases picking up bits of business voluntarily drop ped by patriotic manufacturers, will be denied sugar supplies during the sixty days beginning May 15. Those who embarked in business since Nov. 1, 1917, will be restricted to fifty per ] cent. of their sugar consumption dur ] ing January, March and April Only nine lines of trade will receive full requirements and fourteen will get 80 per cent. of what was used during the first four months of the year. None
 will be able to buy sugar without the new food administration sugar certi
 cates, which will be issued after an
 examination of the report blanks that
 may be had at the food administra
 ton office, No. 36 Pearl street, Hart
 ford. Food Administrator Robert ! Scoville believes the new certificates
 system will carry Connection
 through the summer and the canning
 season without another sugar short
