Spain's Trade with Cuba. In 1907, the last year for which the statistics are at hand, Spain sold to Cuba goods amounting in value to-$12,660,000, and bought from Cuba to the value of $740,000 only. The balance of trade, in fact, is entirely in Spain's favor. Of thirty-five million kilograms of tobacco that Spain imported in 1907, only five hundred thousand kilograms came from Cuba. The prospects for the negotiation of a Cuban-Spanish commercial treaty are considered very fair at Madrid. The feeling in Spain toward Cuba is of the most friendly nature, despite the debt difficulties, and the treaty will turn on the questions relating to tobacco and sugar.
