The United Railways of Havana 



in conjunction with the Cuba Railroad, maintain a service of 

 two trains daily between Havana and the growing Eastern 

 city of CAMAGUEY, and one Express Train daily between 

 Havana and SANTIAGO DE CUBA, the "Dream City of the 

 West Indies." Buffet lunch is served on these trains. 



FOUR TRAINS DAILY 



in both directions between Havana and MA TANZAS, which latter city because of its pictur- 

 esque situation and the charm of its principal attractions (Yumuri's famous valley and the 

 wonderful caves of Bellamar, has long enjoyed the distinction as the great "Mecca" of the 

 tourists, and it continues to gain in popularity. EXCELLENT TRAIN SERVICE is maintained 

 to many other places of great interest to tourists, all of which are fully described in "Cuba — A 

 Winter Paradise," a profusely illustrated 80 page booklet with six complete maps and 72 views 

 illustrative of this wonderful island, sent postpaid on receipt of 3 cents in stamps.

PITCH PINE EXPORTS 



Al)out two milhon feet were loaded out for 

 Cuba during the week, chiefly from Tampa, 

 Pascagoula, Pensacola and Gulf port; April 

 18th. 



Cuban inquiry appears to be decreasing 

 rather than improving, with Havana par- 

 ticularly deficient. 



All Cuban ports are backward, Havana 

 most so of all, and the present outlook holds 

 nothing of promise. Values continue low and 

 weak and freights are uijon the same un- 

 profitable scale. 



Cuban shipments of the week was some- 

 thing over 1,500,000 feet. May 2d. 



Schooner chartering for Cuba is a little 

 more extensive, and the number of vessels 

 seeking engagement has been diminished, 

 but no large tonnage capacity is represented. 

 Freight rates are steady and average a shade 

 higher. There is no indication of revival

in the Cuban lumber trade, and its quietude 

 in early months of the year, when buying is 

 ordinarily most active, does not promise well 

 for the latter season. 



TOP-BUDDING AQUACATES 



A marked change in the method of top- 

 l)udding aquacates to move valuable varieties 

 is being tried at the Hawaiian Agricultural 

 Station, according to the annual report. 

 Trees 6 or 7 years old have been cut back to 

 stumps about lj'2 or 2 feet high, with a 

 sloping cut which has been well covered with 

 heavj' paint or wax as a protecting covering. 

 All trees so treated have sent out vigorous 

 shoots which have proved ideal stocks for the 

 reception of buds, being far better in this re- 

 spect than the side branches of any of the 

 original trees.
