Spanish Reciprocity Boosts Havana Trade
Washington reports quick gains from the Spanish reciprocity treaty in the first two months. U S shipments from New York to Havana rose in September and October 1891 versus 1890, with many commodities rising sharply. Steamship lines chartered three extra vessels, full departures, and machinery exports to sugar manufacture increased. Officials forecast U S flour imports to Cuba could reach 1,000,000 barrels annually once duties fall in January, prompting more sailings or larger ships.
