THE CUBA REVIEW 



U. S. Exports of Finished Goods 



Cuba and South America both showed marked increases in their purchases of 

 finished goods from the United States in 1923, the Cuban purchases having mounted 

 from 28,000,000 square yards in the 12 months ended June 30, 1922, to 70,000,000 

 square yards in the fiscal year 1923, while exports to South America totaled 101,000,000 

 square yards in 1923 against less than 65,000,000 square yards in 1922. The gain in 

 shipments to Cuba is distributed by classifications, as follows: 8,000,000 square yards of 

 bleached goods, 11,000,000 square yards of prints, almost 16,000,000 square yards of 

 piece-dyed cloths, and 7,500,000 square yards of yarn or stock-dyed cloths. While ship- 

 ments of bleached goods to South America were slightly under the 1922 total, prints 

 showed an increase of almost 12,000.000 square yards, piece-dyed cloths of 22,000,000 

 square yards, and yam-dyed cloths of only a little over 2.000.000 square yards. 



The Philippine Islands took about 3.000.000 square yards less of cotton cloth in 

 1923 than in 1922, the chief decline being registered in prints, which fell from 29,500.000 

 square yards to less than 22,000,000 square yards, while slight gains were evident in both 

 piece-dyed and yarn-dyed cloths.
