Steel

In steel the situation is different.
Germany will probably supply Large
quantities TO other European countries.
Germany has already started taking
steel business in neutral markets at
prices which England cannot consider.
Italy is reported to be looking forward
10 getting some of the great quantities
of scrap in France, Germany and Aus
tria, and seeks Westphalian coke
Before the war; said high official
of one of the largest independent pro-
duclng companies, Germany bought
little steel in the American market and
with the dire need of employing her
restless laboring classes to stave off
revolution 1T hardly appears likely that
she Will 60 outside of her own coun-
try to fill her manufacturing require
ment If it can be done at home.
Then again there is the question of
financing foreign purchases. American
manufacturers, under present condi-
tlons in Germany, would hardly feel
disposed to sell their products unless
this government would guarantee the
payment. The needs of the Allied ma
tlons also will be given preference over
the Teutonic countries, and this ele-
ment alone would seem TO preclude the
possibility of our selling steel to Ger
many IN the immediate future"
New-York tribune., 1919-06-29
Cotton

Germany is particularly short of cot
ton. The exact status of the situation
in regard to this commodity was sum-
married by Walter L. Johnson, presi-
dent of the New York Cotton Exchange.
Central Europe has had practically
no cotton for some years" he said, land
will require a considerable quantity as
soon as arrangements can be made to
pay for it. Viewed broadly, the world
is unclothed. People of all nations have,
during recent years, bought sparingly
of wearing apparel, and purchases will
undoubtedly be on a much more liberal
scale now that peace has Gomez AS a
matter of fact, demand for cotton goods
in this country indicates this movement
is already under way.
The United States has financed its
European allies to a great extent since
we entered the war. In my opinion,
she will continue to finance them to
such extent as may be necessary to
Offset the balance of trade The ques-
tion of financing the expected trade
with Germany is much more difficult,
but where one party has goods to sell
and another party wishes to buy them
and is willing to pay the price asked,
some means of consummating the bust
ness can generally be found.'
New-York tribune., 1919-06-29
FOOdstufs

Edward Flash, jr., president of the
New York Produce Exchange, speaking
as an individual and not officially. eX-
pressed the opinion that prices of food
stutfs would decline as a result of the
coming of peace.
The markets have been discount
ing" ne said, "the foodstuff require
ments Of Europe, That is why prices
are so high. Why should they now go
higher? Is it to be supposed that the
merchants of the world, knowing peace
to be near at hand have made no prep
aration to supply the demands Of
Central Europe? Exports of food
stufs for months past to neutral coun-
tries close to Germany have been FIVE
or six times as large as they were be-
tore the war. It means, in my opinion
that Germany is virtually surrounded
by wall of foodstuffs waiting to be
shipped into that country with the ar
rival of peace.
There are great stocks of foodstuffs
IN this country and we are now har-
Vestlng record breaking crop of
winter wheat. The surplus of wheat
WI be so great that we should prob
aoiy not have adequate shipping facil-
ties Tor 1t even if we could sell it all

of furs is expected by some fur deal
ers as result of the signing of the
treaty and resumption Of trade with
Germany. American fur dealers, pos
slbly more than any other set of bust
ness men, are anxious to resume com
nercial relations with Germany This
per cent of the fur dealers here are
said to be of German origin. and that
fully IS per cent of them were financed
before the war by German interests.
German fur merchants are anxious
to get American furs,' said David
Blustein, of David Blustein & Bro.
"Only to-day ! received letter sent
out by our association notifying mem
bers that the German firm of NJ. & G.
Gompertz. Of Crefeld, Germany, want
ed to make connections with American
fur dealers. We Will do business with
German merchants. but we will
check the credits carefully. We have
no way of telling how the firms with
whom we had relations before the war
are fixed financially now | do not be-
lieve the Germans have any furs to
offer us now. Furs of German origin
have been used up over there to re-
place the normal importations Of
American furs. cut off by the war"
Germany" said George B. Herzig,
Eastern representative of Funsten
Bros. & Co., conducting the fur
auctions in st. Louis, "once more will
be factor in the purchasing Of Amer
lean furs. which, before the war; en-
joyed widespread popularity there To
what extent the Germans will figure
as purchasers is another matter Even
g Slight demand for furs from that
quarter of the world will send prices
up to a certain extent, since there al
ready is worldwide shortage of
SKINS"

Textile Trade

In the textile and allied fields if is
conceded that the need for goods of
Germany and the European nations
