CUBAN MOLASSES COMPANY'S EXPORTS 



Mobile has an indiLstry that has been in 

 operation less than one year, which, accord- 

 ing to R. V. Taylor, vice-president and gen- 

 eral manager of the Mobile and Ohio Rail- 

 road, contributes more freight receipts to 

 that company than any other single in- 

 dustry. It is the Cuban Molasses Com- 

 pany, which has a 2,000,000-gallon tank 

 here which is kept filled with blackstrap 

 molasses. Blackstrap is the waste product 

 from the sugar refineries of Cuba. The 

 blackstrap is conveyed from Matanzas, Cuba, 

 to Mobile in large tank steamers which hold 

 from 500,000 to 1,500,000 gallons. Since 

 September 15th, nearly 3,000,000 gallons have 

 been shipped here. The Cuban Molasses 

 Company operates 200 tank cars, with a carry- 

 ing capacity of 8,000 tons each, which are 

 utilized to carry blackstrap to St. Louis and 

 Chicago, there to be made with alfalfa, corn, 

 oats, and other feeds into molasses feed for 

 livestock. 



CENTRAL "PALMA SORIANO" 



La Independencia of Santiago states that 

 President Menocal is interested with certain 

 planters and merchants of the city in the 

 ■establishment of a new sugar central at Palma 

 Soriano in Oriente Province. The new factory 

 will bear the name of the town. During a 



recent visit to this section, late in November' 

 the president visited, in company with Fiot 

 Brothers, the locality in which the new 

 central will be built, is on the main line 

 of the Cuba Railroad, west of San Luis. 



The new factory will probably be built 

 at Maibio, and its capacity is stated at 

 150,000 bags.
