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-
lions in Germany, would hardly feel
disposed to sell their products unless
this government would guarantee the
payment. The needs of the Allied ma
TONS 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"

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 cues
ton 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

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

Textile Trade

In the textile and allied fields if is
conceded that the need for goods Of
Germany and the European nations
generally Will be large, but at present
the productive capacity of the mills
IS TOO small TO catch up with the
domestic demand. Therefore the cues
tlon OF exporting goods assumes a
peculiar aspect. Merchandise, textile
men believe, will be exported onlv be-
cause of the incentive Of high nrices
or IN conformance with some national
plan that may be worked out TO take
care Of at least part of Europe's needs

.Jewelry


Remittance of Germany into the
commercial activities Of the world will
have little effect upon the jewelry in
dustry of this country aside rom a
stiffening of competition for export
trade. This is the way August Gold
smith, of Goldsmith, Stern & Co, man
ufacturing jewellers, look upon the com
marcal effect of peace As to the abil-
ity of Germany to meet new financial
obligations, Mr.. Goldsmith declares
that this, it is likely. in part will be an
swered by loans from this country.
"The United States must extend for
eigr loans if the manufacturers here
expect to dispose of their surplus mer-
chandise,' he said "The European
countries have no cash with which to
purchase our goods, which in most
lines are being produced in an over
abundance"

Peace Opens Way for World

mestic bond issues are likely to be
higher than before the war, because
of the competition Of European secur-
ties which will be offered, it is be-
lieved, at extremely attractive terms.
Expect Big German Trade
In virtually all lines of merchandise,
the opinion was expressed that Ger
many would be a heavy buyer, and
willingness to trade with Germany
seemed general, provided she can fur
nish an acceptable form of payment.
Merchants voiced their determination
not to carry German accounts them
selves as contingent liability.
The Scandinavian countries, it is un-
derstood, are heavily stocked with mer-
chandise bought in this country, which
they will be ready to ship into Ger
many as soon as restrictions are re-
moved.

Clothing

The effect of the signing of the
peace treaty upon the apparel manu-
featuring industry is predicated mostly
upon the possibility of increased ex-
ports of American CLOTH No imme-
diate effect is possible, according to
William Goldman, of Cohen, Goldman
& Co., manufacturers of mems
clothing. "Cloth mills and the clothing
manufacturers have more domestic
orders than they can possibly fill at
increased and there is little in our
line that can be imported from Ger
many"
High prices for women's dresses as
result of the signing of the treaty
and the resumption of trade with Ger
many are predicted by Hardwick S.

WooIlen Goods

Immediate trade with Germany upon
the signing Of the armistice is not ex-
pected by the members of the woollen
goods trade. Two factors are expect
ed 10 initiate against immediate trade.
The first is the uncertainty of German
that American woollen cloth producers
cannot supply the present domestic
consumption.
1t is believed that some American
woollen products will find their way
into Germany through neutral coun-
tries. Already Scandinavian concerns
have made fairly large purchases of
Americanmade woollen goods, which,
it is believed, will be resold to Ger
many. Belgian interests are said 70
have made some purchases in this
country for resale to the enemy coun-
try
Germany may require cloth inlme-
diately," said A. A. Whitman, of the
William Whitman Company, but its
greatest requirements Will be for raw
wool. 1t is understood that the Ger
man woollen machinery is intact and
ready to be placed in operation as

Copper

Leaders of the copper trade declined
to make an estimate of Germany's
copper needs, although they declared
the country was practically stripped Of
the metal and that its needs would be
extremely large. Before the war Ger
many purchased one-third of the total
exports of the metal from this coun-
try. Copper men said that they would
not sell TO Germany on credit without
being shown what the market for the
finished product would be, and how the
buyers would be able to pay.
