. The Cuba review. THE CUBA REVTK W FITCH PINE MARKET CONDITIONS Lvimber export to Cuba was of fair size during the tirst half of January, but outgo of the last two weeks was small. A num- ber of sailing vessels have lately been chartered for Cuba, and there is about nor- mal demand for steamer room, but the trade cannot be regarded as equal in prom- ise to that of a year ago. 1913 purchases were larger than those of any preceding season, and as consumers' demand subsided in later months of the year, the island yards carried substantial stocks over into 1914. The trade is generally at its best in winter months, and should be reasonably active for some time to come, wath the summer slump due a little earlier than ordinarily.—Feb- ruary 7, 1914. Cuban shipment of lumber from all gulf ports for the months of January and Feb- ruary totals but 16,546,2:36 feet, which com- pares unfavorably with ,326,23.'i feet in the same months a year ago, and with 884,.']04 feet in 1912. Havana shipment so far this season is only about half of that in the first two months of 1913, and Cai- barien, INlatanzas, Nipe, Sagua and other ports are also backward, while among those making a good showing are Cienfuegos, Gay Frances and Guantanamo. Interest in the trade is only moderate, notwith- standing advantageous c. i. f. prices avail- able for Cuban buyers. Rates of freight are at least $2 under those current at this time last year. About one and a quarter million feet went to Cuba.—March 7, 1914. Cuat.
