Birmingham Industries Have S5,000,00O Market There
 Says Foreign Agents

Industries of the Birmingham dis trict should sell $500O.Oo worth of factory products to Cuba every year." was the statement of F. D. Stratton of Chattanooga, South American agent of the Southern railway, talk ing to the Birmingham Traffic and Transportation club Tuesday.
 Among other statements of par ticular interest to Birmingham manufacturers was this:
 We (the Southern railway) have advice to the effect that the Hono- lulu Iron works of New York city have construction contracts in Cuba te improve and rebuild a number of sugar mills, improvements estimat- cd to cost s50.000,000 We have heard recently that they are in the market for sugar mill machinery of all kinds"
 This statement coincided with other recent evidences of Cuba's beginning sugar house supplies since recover ing her financial poise.
 Demand From Philippine..
 Mir. Stratton said that cable news from the Philippines indicates a good market for sugar mill equipment.
 Ut is likely that the Philippine National bank will finance the pur chase of equipment needed" he said "Over 800 permits for heavy con struction were issued in Manila for February. Soil pipe and fitting plants should be able to find good market there this year"
 Mir Stratton said he would be pleased to furnish a list of sugar concerpo doty hr SinaSS tho Phjlin- pines.
 Of the sugar industry in Cuba he said in part: Cuba now has about 200 large sugar mills. These plants with appurtenances represent from s2,50O.000 to s10,00o,00 each. At five cents a pound the present crop of raw sugar will draw into Cuba over s4oo,- GOO, 900.
 Cuba can raise sugar as cheap as any country in the world. It is my opinion that within the next five years it will be the richest country per capita in the world. Because of the advance In sugar, Cuba will be one of the best foreign customers we have during the next few years"
 Mir, Stratton showed that nearly everything that the Cuban eats comes from this country, and he declared that there is an especially good mar ket there for the products of the southern staees. 1e esPeciaiy au vised getting personally acquainted with the Cubans, who like to trade with southern people when they know them.
 The Southern railway has opened an office In Cuba with C. r. Lauer in charge.
 Speaking of Latin American trade at large and of the south's oppor- tunities there, Mir. Stratton said: The Latin American countries offer the natural foreign trade field in which to build a permanent trade for the south, trade that will increase in volume from year to year and trade, which, if properly nurtured, Europe will never regain"
