CUBA WILL ENORMOUSLY PROFIT 



Sugar, her chief prochict has ah-eady in- 

 creased enormously in jjrice, and with the 

 suspension of production in Europe we may 

 expect a heavy increase in the quantity pro- 

 duced by Cuba as rapidly as this can be ac- 

 complished, and increased prices for whatever 

 quantity she does produce. So it would not 

 be surprising to see Cuba's purchasing power 

 doubled within a very short time and her im- 

 ports, which last year were $132,337,000, in- 

 creased to $250,000,000. 



Cuba seems more likely to profit by reason 

 of the war than perhaps any other country in 

 proportion to its population and trade, and 

 we shall be the chief beneficiary so far as re- 

 lates to supply of the increased requirements 

 of that increasing market. 



Our exports to Cuba, which have grown by 

 leaps and bounds in the last decade, probably 

 will grow even more rajnclly in the immediate 

 future, for her purchasing power will surely 

 increase enormously. 



Hence the Cuban field is an important one 

 for those desiring to expand their markets. —

 ment Trade Adviser in the Chicago Herald.
