THE CUBA REVIEW 17 COMMERCIAL MATTERS. Credit Accommodations—President Gomez on Commercial Union, Etc. Credit Accommodations. In an article in the American Exporter on granting credit to foreign customers, the writer gives the following advice re- garding the business men of Cuba: "The principal Cuban houses are noted for their integrity. A country dependent on crops (tobacco and sugar) of course requires credit favors from foreign manu- facturers. These may be safely granted to good houses. Cuba merchants are generally disposed to give confidential advice regarding the financial conditions of their fellow merchants. Credit accom- modations in out-of-the-way towns in Cuba should be restricted to old-estab- lished good houses. Europeans grant a credit of six months to their Cuban cus- tomers." Cuba's purchases in 1908 show a reduc- tion of $10,000,000. Cuban purchases of structural steel increased from $422,000 to $682,000. President Gomez and Commercial Union. Where the new Cuban Government stands on the question of closer com- mercial relations with the United States, so eloquently advocated by the Cuban Minister, Senor Ganzales de Quesada at a banquet of the National Board of Trade at Washington, recently, is emphatically stated in the following dispatch from President Gomez, and which was read at the banquet: "I earnestly beg you to declare in my name that the future Government of Cuba will devote all its attention to the development of the most cordial relations with the great and generous Ameri- can people. You will tell them that special con- sideration will be given by me and my Government to the commercial relations between both countries, which should be as close as if they were those existing between one and the same people. In order to obtain this result Cuba is ready to make all efforts and is disposed to all sacritices in the confidence that the American chambers of com- merce will use their prestige and influence so that their aims shall be reciprocal." What is this, says the New York Sun, if not an official declaration in favor of commercial union?
