building and construction are especially
inactive. Prices Of food and clothing
are on the decline. The railway move
ment is light, and the government has
declined to grant the increase in rates
TO the railway companies. 1t Is also ap-
parent that there are not sufficient
funds for the completion of the Salta
Railway. The budget for Shis year has
not been passed, and the political situ-
alton Is unsettled. The Pan American

states that ships arriving at that port

jelly ~ to August Is were as follows:
British, IA; Brazilian, IL; United States,
5; French. s.; Japanese, 5. Cargoes are
generally small. There is little out
going freight pending the increase in
coffee and meat shipments. Shipping
IN the southern ports is in better con-
dition. There is considerable activity
in building hotels and residences. Most
Of the railways need rolling stock but
are not in q position TO buy it. German
immigration continues, but 600 Rus
slams have returned to Europe.

the general impression is that it will
terminate soon with victory for the
employers. The nitrate situation re-
mains unchanged since last report.

In the World of Shipping

August cables from South American
representatives of the Department OF
Commerce. are of interest principally
on account of their comments upon
German competition. The reduced pur.
chasing power of Latin American coun-
tries is evidently still acting unfavor.
ably on all exporting countries.
In some manufactures, the depart.
aent says, the quality Of German goods
and their deliveries arc not vet az
satisfactory as before the war prob
aoiy because of wartime losses Of
skilled artisans, heavy taxation bur
dens, inadequate stocks Of raw ma
Tcrlals and retarded industrial cons
struction. Some contracts have been
refused for these reasons.
Low price levels in Germany. the
statement continues, have apparently
encouraged a tendency to undertake
more contracts than can be fulfilled
" Is entirely Improbable, according to
tnls governments viewpoint at present.
mat German exporters cen continue to
provide bona flde credit facilities SUI
perior to those of their competitors.
Atogether 1T appears that many re-
ports OF ruinous German competition in
south America have been greatly ex-
aggerated. Even admitting the present
advantages of German exporters. thew
are apt to be of temporary nature.
says the department, in view of the
srtlnclal basis upon which many in
ouSirles IN Germany now operate.
The most significant indication of
the progress made in the recovery of
business in Argentina is the reduction
OF stocks of goods held in the Buenos
Ayres custom house to less than half
OF the quantity of last January. The
stabllization of import prices in this
market is another feature carrying out
this belief.
Withdrawal of American firms from
South America should be taken as one
phase Of the adjustment Of trade o.
this country upon a more permanent
normal basis. The elimination Of MANY
houses which had taken advantage Of
temporary wartime opportunities was
to be expected, and American trade in
Latin America can now be built upon a
substantial, lasting basis according to
Mr.. Hoover's belief.
In Argentina, says Commercial At
tache Edward +. Feely under date Of
August 81, the demand for shipping
space is dull, the charter market is
much weaker than a month ago and
berth rates are similarly situated. It
is expected that shipping rates will 20
lower. The dispatch of vessels is nor
NAL, and stocks of bunker coal and oil
are about as usual. immigration is in
creasing. Unrest and strikes are de-
creasing, and there is current talk that
unemployment is threatening. General
