SOVIET trade
IN NEAR EAST
BEATS ALLIES
Conquer New Markets
from Competitors

MOSCOW, CBy MaII.)- That the
trading activities Of the Soviet Union
had considerably expanded during The
last six months or so, was stated In
the course Of press Interview by
ModyIevsky, commissioner Of the
peoples commIssarIat OF foreign
trade, who has jut returned to Odessa
from business trip in the near east.
Soviet trade, he said, had conquered
and was conquering new positions.
In spite of its higher price, but owing
to its better quality, Soviet cement
was ousting the Italian and German
products, while Soviet coal was sue
cessfully competing with the British,
especially in Turkey, where the So
Wet trade representative had sold
fairly big order of coal to the SHINES
company. Eighty per cent Of the
soda market was in Soviet hands,
and Russian matches were also GUST
ing the Swedish product in Greece
and Turkey.
ModyleVsky further stated that IN
most Of the oil auctions the Soviet
products had been successful. Nego-
tiations were under way for deals in
construction timber and dairy prod
uce, party Of the latter having re-
Gently been proftably disposed of.
The export of cattle, fowls and eggs
was growing rapidly, and the Odessa
foodstuffs trust was opening whole
sale and retail stores for the sale of
such products.
The Soviet trade commissioner con-
cluded his statement by noting that
the opening of the Constantinople
branch of the Union Bank for foreign
commerce, which was welcomed by
Turkish officials and business circles,
would largely contribute to the devel-
opment Of commercial and economic
intercourses between the Union of
Soviet Republics and Turkey, as well
as all the other near eastern coun-
tries.
