Inasmuch as this section, like others of the island, is practically given over to the produc- 

 tion of sugar, it maj' be readily comprehended that, aside from the usual food stuffs and articles 

 of wearing apparel, imports are largely confined to the requisites of the cane field and mill 

 and attending by-products, namely, molasses and alcohol. 



The export trade of Cienfuegos in 1915 recorded an increase over that of 191-1 of S12,423,- 

 903, the total reaching S29,8ol,-432, of which merchandise amounting to §23,320,072 was sent 

 to ports in the United States, $6,437,530 left destined to England and $93,230 to Canada. 

 Statistics show sugar and molasses to be by far the leaders, and sugar far in advance of 

 molasses.
