THE CUBA REVIEW 



nothing is known outside of committee as to duty changes, if any. Whatever the 

 hill may say, there is sure to be very much argument and delay over its various 

 schedules before it becomes a law. 



Refined has been and is in good demand for actual daily requirements and the 

 country is at the present time so poorly supplied with stock that this hand-to-mouth 

 demand must continue right along. Most of the refined is now sold on a seven-day 

 delivery basis which prevents accumulation of stock at any time in the country. 



The outlook at the close is for continued advancing markets here and in Europe 

 and a gradual closing up of the difiference between beets and cane sugars values. 



We congratulate your planters on the good prospects ahead of them the 

 remainder of this campaign — whether duties are reduced or not reduced. 



New York, March 8, 1909. 



Cuban Mahogany and Cedar. 



Arrivals at New York for February, 

 1909, were as follows: 



Mahogany: Cuban. — Only twenty-three 

 logs were received during the entire 

 month, and they are still in first hands. 

 The stock that was on hand a month 

 ago remains unchanged, showing the 

 very quiet conditions which exist. 



Cedar: Cuban.- — There was a marked 

 falling off in the arrivals in February 

 as compared with those of January, the 

 receipts in February totalling about two 

 thousand logs as against twelve thousand 

 received in the previous month. All of 

 the wood received has passed into second 

 hands, together with quite a considerable 

 amount of the wood that was on hand 



February 1. Our present holdings are 

 small, and large wood in good condition 

 should be well received. — George F. 

 Herriman, Mar. 1, 1909.

 a third of a century of experience and study of the wind- 

 mill requirements, aided by the most improved machin- 

 ery, the most capable mechanics, and the best materials 

 the markets afford. On account of their great efficiency 

 and capacity they are used with great success on plan- 

 tations where a large quantity of water is needed.
