Cuban -American Trade 



The prominent place held by the United States is evident from these figures. 

 But a serious falling off in the Cuban-American trade in toilet preparations since 1920 

 is indicated by the official export records of the United States. These show for 1921 

 a total only one-third and for 1922 a value less than half that for 1920, as below:

• Figures in this and the succeeding table, supplied by the Chemical Division of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic 

 Commerce, are taken from the official American export returns. 



The new export classification of the group here discussed that went into effect 

 in the United States on January 1, 1922, permits the giving of more specific American 

 data for the first time. Shipments of American toilet preparations to Cuba during 

 1922 are set out month by month in the following table:
