THE CUBA REVTK W 



FITCH PINE MARKET CONDITIONS 



Lvimber export to Cuba was of fair size 

 during the tirst half of January, but outgo 

 of the last two weeks was small. A num- 

 ber of sailing vessels have lately been 

 chartered for Cuba, and there is about nor- 

 mal demand for steamer room, but the 

 trade cannot be regarded as equal in prom- 

 ise to that of a year ago. 1913 purchases 

 were larger than those of any preceding 

 season, and as consumers' demand subsided 

 in later months of the year, the island yards 

 carried substantial stocks over into 1914. 

 The trade is generally at its best in winter 

 months, and should be reasonably active for 

 some time to come, wath the summer slump 

 due a little earlier than ordinarily. — Feb- 

 ruary 7, 1914. 



Cuban shipment of lumber from all gulf 

 ports for the months of January and Feb- 

 ruary totals but 16,546,2:36 feet, which com- 

 pares unfavorably with 2.3,326,23.'i feet in 

 the same months a year ago, and with 20.- 

 884,.']04 feet in 1912. Havana shipment so 

 far this season is only about half of that 

 in the first two months of 1913, and Cai- 

 barien, INlatanzas, Nipe, Sagua and other 

 ports are also backward, while among those 

 making a good showing are Cienfuegos, 

 Gay Frances and Guantanamo. Interest 

 in the trade is only moderate, notwith- 

 standing advantageous c. i. f. prices avail- 

 able for Cuban buyers. Rates of freight 

 are at least $2 under those current at this 

 time last year. 



About one and a quarter million feet 

 went to Cuba. — March 7, 1914.
