engaged i'm the export and import
trades. AS a result the translators are
usually found in offices in the shipping
district; in Pearl and Williams streets
and the neighboring localities.
Up town there are also Al few trans
lators, who confine themselves almost
exclusively to translatlng foreign
plays, legal documents and matter OF Il
literary character, They charge fancy
prices for their services.
A noticeable feature about the busi-
Americans, at least by birth. Indeed,
the greater part of them are Germans
and Spaniards. Another noteworthy
fact is that there are only very small
number of women in the business.
Although the average translator gem
orally complains about the smallness
of his earnings, his pay compares IA
Vorably with that of other professional
men in business for themselves. The
usual rate is % cents Il hundred words,
and i'm some cases 80 l-3 cents. But
these rates huctuate.
Thus, before the Spanish war . trans
