LA SITUACION DEL ARROZ EN- LA
EPOCA DE SU OEGANIZACION.
(Del informe anual de la Comision de
Alimentos al Gobernador de
Puerto Rico).
(Conclusion)

Por medic del Negociado de Asuntos
InsElarcs sc pidieron precios de arroces
asiaticos y Sc invite de modo incidental
a los corredores que presentaran sus
ofertas de toda clase de substancias ali
menticias sobre una base frme, prescin-
diendo de la cantidad. Este sc hizo para
evitar que en- los mercados de Estados
Unidos Sc dejase yer que existiera aqui
una gran demanda, toda vez que 81 Sc
hubieran solicitado ofertas por cantida-
des de $4,000 sacos de arroz, por elem
plo, y cineo seis corredores, cablegra-
| fiado sobre el asunto, Sc habria tai vez,
producido ell efecto de que Sc requeria
una cantidad cinco seis veces mayor de
la que realmente Sc necesitaba.
Empezaba dejarse sentir la falta de
6rdenes de este comercio en- Nueva Or
leans y otros mercados del Sur, y la Co
mission de Alimentos estaba ansiosa de
comprar sin interrumpir tales condicio-
mes, de sucrte de contener el alza en- los
precios y obtener existencias bajo las
circunstancias mas favorables.
Sc recibieron varias ofertas, pero sien-
do estas por arroces existentes en- la isla,
la Comisi6n no mostr6 en- elias interes al
guno. a Finalmente, una casa en- San Juan
hizo oferta en- frme, en- representation
de unos molineros de Houston, Texas,
basada la oferta sobre muestras Sc
leccionadas por la Coniisi6n que cub1fan
tres tipos distintos de arroz Sc hizo una
contra -oferta por la Comision, que fue
aeeptada; y de esta suerte, Sc compraron
$4,000 sacos de arroz.
A la entrega, sin embargo, alrededor
de 5000 sacos fueron rechazados por ha-
ber resultado de clase inferior la COM
prada.
Entire tanto, habiendose fjado los pre-
clos al detail y habiendose comprado una
reserva por Ia Comisi6n, scgdn g hc.
indicado, Sc produjo una reduction en-
los precios de cotizaci6n que Sc refej6
hasta en- New Orleans Y otros mercados
del Sur; y, como acontece, generalmen-
te, con un mercado indeciso, los compra-
dores Sc mostraban rehacios comprar,
de suerte que, las existencias necesarias
no estaban asignadas, aunque los pre-.
clos aqui Sc habfan heeho estables.
Vino entonces, la operaci6n que no
tiene precedente enla historic del domi-
nio administrative sobre los alimentos.
Por conducto del Negociado de Asuntos
Insulares y con la cooperation del Co.
bernader Harrison, de las Islas Filipi-
mas, Sc consigui6 que un vapor de pro-
cedencia alemana, fuese puesto dispo-
sici6n de la Comisi6n de Alimentos, Sc
concerto la compra de 1000 toneladas de
arroz de Saigon.
