THE CUBA REVIEW 



Five Years of Trade with the United States 



Statistics by Articles for 1917-18 to 1921-'2'2, compiled by Luis 



Marino Perez 



The issue for June, 1922, of "Monthly Summaty of Foreign Commerce of the 

 United States" just pubUshed by the Department of Commerce, makes it possible 

 to present detailed figures of the trade between the United States and Cuba in the 

 fiscal year 1921-22, and to compare this year with the four previous years. 



The figures for all articles cannot be given, because they are not included in 

 the "Monthly Summary," being published only in the annual volume entitled ''Foreign 

 Commerce and Navigation of the United States," which covers calendar years. But 

 all articles for which the Cuban figures are given in the "Monthly Summary" will be 

 found in the tables which follow. 



Before inserting the tables by articles, a summary of total imports and exports 

 since 1910 will show the steady development of the trade with the United States. 



The figures up to 1920. inclusive, are taken from the "Statistical Abstract of the 

 United States, 1920," page 409, and for the period following from the "Monthlj- 

 Summary."
