Credit Men to Hold Session
On Foreign Trade Problems

of this problem could be worked out
satisfactorily, the majority OF Ameri-
can manufacturers who are exporting
would be in q position to extend credit
on the usual terms to responsible
buyers abroad.
TN the meantime, it is very i'm
portant that exporters keep closely in
touch with new regulations and re-
strictions that at the present time
continue to block the free now OF
trade among the nations Of the world.
While there has been some improve
ment noted in many markets. condi-
lions have been changing so rapidly
that a meeting of this kind in con-
nection with the convention promises
to be very effective.
The American manufacturers who
are interested In export business and
who are associated with the Foreign
Credit Interchange Bureau Of the Ma
tional Association of Credit Men have
continued to make use of this or
ganization as q clearing house for the
exchange of their ledger information
on foreign commerce. Many member
firms will be represented at Pittsburgh
and will have the opportunity to meet
together and discuss their common

by elimination of A. A. A. processing
tax.
Bituminous coal-Relatively favor
able price -competitive structure likely
to give way to chaotic conditions pre-
viously in force.
Copper-Present 9-cent price mainly
attributable to code. Consumers likely
to hold back for lower prices.
Dairy products-Little affected by

gest that this trade may be major

fit by elimination of wheat processing

ter that it will hold some Of Its code

cult If not impossible. Control back
in the hands Of the States.

RUSSIA EXPECTS
T0LEAD WORLD IN
GOLD PRODUCTION
Only South Africa Mined
More Last Year and
Gains Continue.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK. June Gable and
radio dispatches to Business Week
give the following survey of business
abroad for the week ending today.
MOSCOW-"Only South Africa
mined more gold last year than the
Soviet Union. African output passed
10 million ounces: Russian vas just
less than three millions. At Current
rates, Russia's gold was worth about
$3.50, 100000.
No country IN the worlI, has a
larger area than Russia. Gold reserves
exist in every Part of the country.
Greatest producing regions now are
in Siberia, along the Lena and Yeni-
sci Rivers, and in the Caucasus near
the Turkish border.
Siberian deposits along the Lena
River will be worked Extensively this
year with huge iredges bought in the
United States Radaibo, about 200
miles north of Lake Baikal is going
to be made into a great industrial city
from which mining operations will be
pushed. It will be connected with the
Trans-Siberian Railroad, probably at
Irkutsk, 500 or 600 miles to the south
| west.
More dredges vii probably be pur-
chased this year, transported over the
new line A. p Serebr ovski, chief of
the Soviet gold administration, has
declared that Soviet gold mines will
produce more in 1910 than even the
famed Rand mines IN Africa, and that
within 10 years Russia will produce
80 per cent of the world yellow metal.
Stain declared thai output at present
mines could be quadrupled with ade-
uuste equipment which we shall or
der shortly Rumor in Moscow as that
new dredges will be bought in the
United States.
Reich Feels Uncertainty.
BERLIN.-"The financial crisis in
Paris is causing some uncertainty, de-
spite the almost complete isolation of
the German mark from all other cur
rencies.
steel output for April was up
slightly. The engineering industry is
occupied at approximately II per cent
of normal. Home demand for machin-
cry has improved, but exports are
slow. Paper production is back at
1928 levels, with exports improving.
The Institute for Trade Research es-
Inmates that industry in 1884 for the
first time since 1880 worked at a
profit.
Business and the government have
an eye on the Silver Jubilee celebra-
tions in England. Next year, Ger
many is to play host to the athletes
of the world in the Olympic games,
and is preparing not only for more
active business but to show Germany
at its best. The new subway in Ber-
lin connecting a ring of railway sta
tions is being rushed so that Inter
den Linden will once more be worthy
of its reputation as Berlin's most
beautiful avenue. Public buildings
will be cleaned"
