Many Ships Leaving Manila
Without Full Cargoes

Manila. P. l., April 24.-Cargo
ships are leaving Manila frequently
with their holds practically empty,
shipping agents say, because of ad-
verse market conditions in the Unit

in causing the surplus Of cargo space,
shippers assert.
Because of the large stocks Of these
products accumulated during the war,
both here and in the United States,
a surplus has been created and IL is
said that they may now be purchased
AT a lower price in the United States
than in the Philippines.
