THE CUBA REVIEW 



aguedita's new extension 



The work of extending the railroad line, 

 which will unite the "Aguedita" estate with 

 the Chilena farm, will shortly be under 

 way. The new extension will greatly in- 

 crease the cane "zone" of the central. 



3S 



A road from Puerto Padre to the "De- 

 licias" sugar central is in course of con- 

 struction. 



Mr. Sage has been appointed temporary 

 director of the "Guantanamo Sugar Com- 

 pany" interests. 



PRESIDENT BUYS A SUGAR ESTATE 



Representatives of President Menocal 

 have signed papers with Sr. Emilio Do- 

 minguez for the purchase of the old Ele- 

 jalde mill at Guira de Helena, Havana 

 Province, which was destroyed during the 

 war. The price said to have been paid is 

 a large one. 



General Menocal is said to be ready to 

 purchase more lands in the district and then 

 he will proceed to rebuild the old factory 

 and start again making sugar in this pros- 

 perous sugar district. 



Lumber Exports to Cuba 



PITCH PINE MARKET CONDITIONS 



(From the Gulf Coast Record) 



The week's movement to Cuba was about 

 the smallest recorded this year. — August 

 16th. 



Cuban inquiry shows no improvement 

 over former weeks. The week's clearance 

 included about two and a half million feet 

 for Cuba. — August 2,3rd. 



Summer shipment of lumber to Cuba has 

 held up in considerable volume, and has 

 exceeded that of the same business a year 

 ago. Most of the orders were taken some 

 time earlier, however, and only moderate 



additions are reported since June. Present 

 inquiry is light, but not entirely absent, 

 with reasonable prospect of recovery late 

 in the year, always a period of renewed in- 

 terest in this trade. Except for apprehen- 

 sion among sugar planters of the results 

 when the new American tariff becomes 

 effective, business and administrative con- 

 ditions in Cuba are encouraging. — August 

 30th. 



There is no improvement observable in 

 the amount of business offering for Cuba, 

 but new inquiries are not entirely lacking. 

 Shipments are of larger extent than usual.
