THE CUBA REVIEW 



PITCH PINE MARKET CONDITIONS 



The week was a very small one for West 

 Indian shipment, only about one million 

 feet going to Cuba. — September 20th. 



Quiet rules in the Cuban market, inquiries 

 for the future being scarce, while the ac- 

 cumulations of old orders are nearly 

 cleared away. No indication of recovery 

 is observable, though it may be noted that 

 Cuban business usually lags at this season, 

 to return in more or less degree about 

 November. 



Cuban shipment of the week was about 

 1,600,000 feet. — September 27th. 



When active buying declined several 

 months ago, a fairly long list of orders 

 were on the books, and these have main- 

 tained the outgo at respectable figures, but 

 most of them now have been shipped out, 

 and few have been accepted to take their 

 place. With high freights as generally 

 prevailing during the hurricane season 

 Cuba does not buy freely, and recovery 

 generally comes with the easier freight 

 costs of November and later. Such re- 

 covery may be experienced this year, but 

 the present promise is not for extensive 

 development. 



The week of October 4th showed dull- 

 ness most apparent in inquiry for Cuba.' 

 The islands accounting for the week was 

 less than one and a half million feet. 



CUBAN HARDWOODS IN ENGLAND 



Recent arrivals were 1,988 Logs Cuba 

 mahogany of usual good quality and sizes, 

 with several well-figured logs, being the 

 first portion of the cargo just landed from 

 Santa Cruz, and a parcel of 91 logs Cuba 

 mahogany, all of which are figured, some 

 finely, and many are plum logs. This latter 

 parcel is a distinctly attractive one, and 

 is bound to realize high prices. Following 

 these there are for sale 253 logs of Cuban 

 cedar, of good texture and of small to 

 large sizes, and an exceptionally fine parcel 

 Timber, of London.

 in California, Florida, Louisiana, Texas 

 and Arizona, and the total annual produc- 

 tion is estimated at 20,000,000 boxes.
