New Hay Grader
Stationed Here

At the request of the farm bu-
reau, r.. l.. Wood. state hay inspec-
tor for the department OF agricul-
ture, has been assigned to this dis
trict, succeeding Gilbert Fuller, who
was transferred to Antelope valley.
Wood is located in the farm bu-
reau office, court house. Ell Centro.
AS many dealers are now buying
and selling on grade, it was felt
that it would be more satisfactory
to the growers to have their hay
graded here.
Wood stated the Imperial Valley
hay is meeting very favorable re-
ception on the Los Angeles markets
due to the improved quality of the
hay during the past year or two.

Reports of generally excellent wheat

Another beariSh factor was talk that

country underselling the United States
an advance was unlikely despite present

consequent upon instability of the stock

DECLINE IN COTTON
MARKET CONTINUES
Scale-Down Buying Orders Not
Sufficient to Offset South
ern Selling.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. october 3.-Continued
Southern selling was again absorbed by
active trade buying on scale-down or
ders in cotton today, but prices worked
gradually lower, with December con-
tracts selling off to 561, making net
decline Of IL points and new low ground
for the movement. They closed at that
figure, with the general market closing
barely steady at net declines of IL to
IA pointS.e
The opening was steady, point
higher on October, but generally I'M
changed to 2 points lower under over
night selling orders. There may have
been some little local buying or week
end covering on the relatively firm
Liverpool cables, but it was quickly sup
piled, and prices worked of quite stead
lily during the late trading. The trade
was again credited with buying freely
on each point or two decline, and some
very fair sized blocks changed hands,
but the hedging continued and became
more active in the late trading Oc.
tober broke to 5.43 and March $50. ana
closing quotations were the lowest o.
the day on all the active positions.
Reports of favorable weather for
picking and marketing in the South
may have been q contributing factor
on the decline, but the chief influence,
judging from trade comment, was the
increasing movement of cotton In the
South, and the evident inclination of
spot houses to hedge their purchases.
Reports that two more mills had re-
opened IN Manchester, making six that
have reopened since the suspension Of
the gold standard In England, seemed
to attract no special attention, while
the effect Of the relatively firm Liver
pool cables was modified by the easier
ruling of sterling and reports that at
the close Of yesterday Liverpool had
been considerably under a shipping

IN LATIN AMERICAN
TRADE WATTS ON US. UPTURN

In statement based ON a survey of
the 1880 trade with Latin America,
Frederick M. Feiker, director of the
Commerce Departments Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce, today
said an improvement in the Latin
American Market must be predicated
upon recovery in the markets of the
United States and the principal Eu-
ropan countries for Latin American
products.
Total trade with Latin America
amounted to 81, 1855, 918 900. a decline of
2a.5 per cent from the high level of
1929, and an increase of SIS per cent
above that for 1915, according to
Feiker's report.
Feiker said in 1880 the United States
furnished a market for 35.1 per cent
Of all Latin America exports, or ap-
proximately the same as in 1929. Like
wise, he added, the United States fur
nished SO per cent Of total Latin Amer
lean imports, American exports to that
area being 418 per cent greater than
those Of 1900 and 1o2 per cent greater
than In 1918.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-10-04

With American investments in Latin
America placed at between $4,000, Ooo,-
600 and $780, 100000, the Commercs
Department official said about three
hfths was in South America. Two
thirds of the aggregate investments.
Feiker said, were composed of direct
investments of American corporations
In mines, public utilities, plantations
and other properties. American hold
ings of securities, principally govern
mental obligations of Argentina, Brazil,
Chile, Colombia and Peru, he said,
composed the remainder.
Feiker said an impression that the
United States position in Latin Amer
lean trade today was the result of adj
vantages gained while European ma
tons were temporarily withdrawn from
the market was false. While he recor-
nized that much trade formerly going
to belligerents was shifted to the United
States during the war, an expansion of
156 per cent IN trade with Latin Amer
lea from 1900 to 1918 was cited in
Feiker's statement.
