Cuba has occupied for some years, and especially since the reciprocity treaty became 

 effective, the first place in importations from Mobile and these have gradually increased 

 from year to year. Even 1911 shows an increase in spite of the revolutionary uprisings 

 in the Island which, to a certain extent, paralyzed trade, especially the lumber imports. 

 Mobile exports to Cuba are larger by $1,000,000 than those of New Orleans, Boston, 

 Philadelphia and Baltimore combined.
