BRIGHTLY HUED SILKS
POPULAR IN GUATEMALA
United States Consul Lupton Re-
ports on Prospects for Americans
Increasing Trade There.

Silks are very popular in Guatemala
among all classes. when they can be
afforded. The business done in high
and the stocks are relatively small and
the assortment poor. 1t seems that peo-
pie who would purchase fine goods of
this sort import direct-possibly through
purchasing agent abroad-or else bring
back a full assortment of clothes on re-
turning to Guatemala from a trip to the
United States or Europe. The bulk of
the trade is in brightly colored silks Of
medium and cheap grades.
Consul Lupton's Report.
Consul Stuart Lupton. at Guatemala
ment Of Commerce, says:
.'Since the outbreak of the European
war merchants have been unable to OBJ
tain goods regularly from the accustomed
sources of supply. and their stocks are
now running low. (This applies least to
China which country does the bulk Of the
there is an impression current among
the merchants here that the United
States does not produce fine silk goods.
Necessity is now compelling them to open
States, but whether or not this trade will
continue when access can again be mad
to the old markets, remains to be scen.
1t is always a difficult matter to win busi-
ness men away from their allegiance to
manufacturers who for years have given
careful, prompt and satisfactory service
and who are willing to sell what the cus-
toner wants and not to try to sell him
what they may have in stock and desire
to get rid of.
What Merchants Want to Know.
lone thing that merchants here always
want to know Is how much a piece of
goods weighs to the bolt. This weight
should preferably be expressed In kilos
(Kilo equals 2.2046 pounds) salesman
for several hundred dollars worth of dry
goods because he could not give the
weight per piece
1.-The duties on silk and silk goods are
quite high. Therefore American sellers
should be most careful to follow instruc-
tions given by buyers in this country
What may appear to be an insignificant
detail or mere whim of the buyer may
mean the saving Of a considerable sum In
duties. Great care should be used in
making out the consular invoices, which
must be in Spanish. 1t would be well to
determine the various terms used in the
silk trade in Guatemala, as each different
country of Latin America uses its own
peculiar terms Often the use OF one
word instead of another with apparently
the same meaning may result in the
"a wing of much duty and freight.
Credits usually given by American
houses are sixty to ninety days. but Euro
pean firms give terms often as long as
six and nine months and sometimes do
business on an open-account basis"

All Ask Larger Allotments.

The expense budget for 1916 was S145,-
1929. compared with sl52, 400, 800 for
1917. An increase of expenses is shown
IN all the seven ministries.
For the ministry of the interior the ad-
ditional credits solicited are for the cam
paign against tuberculosis. increase of the
subventions to the medical colleges at
Bahia and Rio de Janeiro, and to cover
the expenses of old territorial companies
transferred to this ministry by law.
The increase in the ministry of the ex-
teriors allotments is due TO establishing
a consulate at Panama and to laws regu-
lating gratuities for length of service
In the ministries of war. marine and ag-
riculture the differences are accounted
for principally by the transfer Of the
accounts relating to the cost OF pension
ers. etc. from the treasury department
The largest increase in the expense ac-
count of the ministry Of transportation
and public works is in the item 'inspec-
tion Of ports" namely, about SC. 400. 600
and is accounted for by the provision Of
funds to pay the guaranty of interest and
balance of credit destined for the Port
of Recife.
The increase required for the ministry
of the treasury is to cover the foreign
debt falling due in 1917.

South and Central American Affairs
j. s. OPPORTUNITY
NOW IN ARGENTINA
America Is Only Source oil
Supply for Much Needed
Machinery.

Argentina depends entirely upon the
outside world for it's machinery and
related products. and before the war
the United States ran a poor third to
Germany and England in supplying
this fine market. A report on the sub
ject just published by the bureau OF
foreign and domestic commerce, De-
partment of Commerce, calls attention
to the opportunity. now before Ameri-
can manufacturers to take over perma-
nently an important part of this trade,
and points out frankly the causes that
have made competition with Germany
and England difficult in the past. A
special point is made of the foresight
of German houses-that supplied lead
inc technical and industrial schools
with machinery and machine tools free
of charge, so that the future engineers
and shop officials would naturally favor
the German makes.
Previous to the war Germany fur
nished 400 per cent of the miscella-
neous machinery imported by Argen-
tina; England, 21.S per cent, and the
United States, 1876 per cent. The dom
inant position of England in the sup
ply OF railway plant and rolling stock
is very apparent, as the country fur
nished 1856 per cent of the locomotives
S3.O1 per cent of the passenger coaches
and 47.S per cent of the freight cars.
The war brought serious financial de-
preston to Argentina. and recovery
has been very slow. and imports OF
among the first to suffer and the last
to recover. but such American products
are now sold in relatively larger pro-
portion than before the war.
