PITCH PINE MARKET CONDITIONS 



Cuban lumber trade with the Gulf ports, 

 though fairly brisk, has been of slightly 

 less volume than in the opening weeks of 

 1911. Inquiry seems to be improving, 

 however, and there is good reason to look 

 for unusual activity during the spring 

 months. 



Last vear's shipment of lumber to Cuba 

 was about 12,000,000 feet less than in 1910, 

 but the figures for that year, the largest 

 yet known in the trade, should be sur- 

 passed in 1912. — -Gulf Coast Record. 



The popularity of the Cuban national 

 lottery is rapidly declining. When it was 

 first started, 30,000 tickets were issued, and 

 the demand was so great for them that 

 large premiums were charged. The de- 

 mand continued so great that the number 

 of tickets were increased to two series of 

 .30,000 each drawing. The demand after 

 a few months began to diminish until now 

 the government has been unable to dispose 

 of 37,000 tickets in one drawing. 



BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK 



A convention of Baptist ministers was 

 held in Havana on February 6th. At the 

 meeting the Rev. M. N. McCall, pastor 

 of the Baptist church in Havana, was 

 elected president of the Sunday School 

 Association of Cuba. Figures regarding 

 the work show that there are thirty-three 

 Sunday schools organized in provinces of 

 the island, nine of these being in the city 

 of Havana. In these schools there are 

 1,738 pupils enrolled, with fifty-eight teach- 

 ers. There are also various departments — 

 Iiome, cradle roll, normal class, etc. The 

 llgures are much better than those of last 

 vear. 



A POPULAR OFFICIAL RESIGNS 



Benito Ortiz, who has been the mayor 

 of the Isle of Pines for many years, has 

 resigned his office and will come to Havana 

 to make his home. The resignation of the 

 mayor has been received with great regret 

 in the Isle of Pines, where he was uni- 

 versally popular.
