u. s. FIRMS HAIL
EXPANDING OUTLET
IN LATIN AMERICA
Enhanced Buying Power
| Laid to Shipments of
| Raw Materials.
RECIPROCAL TREATIES
| ARE DECLARED VITAL
Subject Expected to Have Leading
Place in Foreign Trade Week,
Starting Tomorrow.
BY FREDERICK GARDNER,

ASSOCldLcQ fTeSS WIlIeI.
Latin American countries, profiting
by better demand and higher prices for
raw materials, have been providing an
expanding market for exports of
manufactured goods from the United
States.
Trade between the United States and
her neighbors to the South has made
further recovery. in contrast with
slowing down or decline in exports
to other sectors of the world, notably
Europe
The latest trade gains have been
used to bolster the argument of those
who contend the commercial destiny
of the United States-in a period of
economic nationalism and currency
turmoil-lies to the South, in strength
ened trade ties with Latin America.
The Pan American trade idea is
seen as one goal of efforts to promote
commerce through reciprocal treaties.
Foreign trade promoters hope to bring
most of the leading trading countries
south of the Rio Grande into recipro-
cal agreements along the pattern of
those already concluded with Cuba
and Brazil.
European Losses Cited.
Drastic declines in exports to some
European countries, mainly France
and Germany, make the South Amer
ican figures for the first quarter of
this year look bright in comparison.
Exports to the Argentine, Brazil,
Chile. Peru, Mexico and other Latin
American markets show substantial
increases in dollar value over the cor
responding period last year.
But the picture is distorted some
what by cotton. The largest decline
in exports to Europe has been in a
few agricultural products, mainly cot
ton.
Indirectly. trade experts pointed out,
South Americas enhanced buying
power. as reflected in demand for
manufactured goods from that quar-
ter. can be traced in part to the
shrinkage in farm exports from the
United States.
Brazil Supplies Cotton.
Brazil has been supplying a consid-
cradle portion of the cotton which
Europe lOTneTly DOuSHG lTOH JHe
United States. Instead of having COM
petition from the United States in the
world grain markets, Argentina has
| shipped corn and other grains to this
market since last years drought cut
domestic supply.
Chile and Peru have been moving
out metals and nitrate in larger guam
tity. Mexico and other silver-produc-
| ing countries have the United States
to thank for making silver factor of
increasing Importance in their trade
balances, whatever threats it might
offer to their coin circulation.
Some trade analysts see in the South
American trade a vindication of their
contention that foreign countries,
given more dollar exchange, will spend
it quickly for American goods.
At any rate, the expanding Latin
American market is expected to afford
one of the leading themes for speakers
in the annual celebration of Foreign
Trade week, starting Monday.

RECOVERY HOPES
OVER WIDE AREAS
Northwest, Parts of Central

Improve Greatly.
RETAIL SALES FORGE
UP DESPITE WEATHER
Industrial Progress Remains
Slow-Markets Succumb to Talk
of Bonus Largesse..
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

| Special Dispatch 70 Ihe Star.
NEW YORK, May 18.-The best
and the newest feature in the busi-
ness situation, and one that will show
| its effects later in the year, is the
| great improvement in those agricul-
| tural sections of the country that
were robbed of their wealth in 1894
by the drought.
This is especially true Of the
| Northwest, where crop prospects are
the best in five years. 1t applies elso
to portions of the Southwest and Of
the Central West. AS farm products
are at a level making for profitable
production. this all means an increase
in railroad car loadings, wider dis
tribution of merchandise and more
general employment.
Retail trade continues to expand
| in spite of unreasonable weather. The
return to work of many thousands
who have been on strike in the auto
mobile factories brings unusual calm
to the general labor situation for this
time of the year.
Industrial progress Of the sort that
| denotes the strong setting in Of
movement toward recovery is not in
| sight. If it does not appear by the
middle Of May, it is usually deferred
until the Autumn. That is the pres
ent prospect.
! But the speculative markets, often
/ Swayed more by emotion than by cold
reasoning, have apparently succumbed
! to the flashy attractions of the bonus
largesse which Washington wires have
been confidently predicting will be
| authorized by this session of Congress.
! On Thursday the previous cautious
advance gave way to broad and ac-
tive upturn in nearly all divisions.
Industrials took the lead and this
group had the distinction Of reaching
the highest average since November.
1881.
More Refunding in Sight.
In this country the dwindling rates
of interest remain as evidence of
timidity among business men in the
employment of their capital. All the
Federal Reserve districts have now re-
duced their discounts to per cent for
the first time in their history. Cleve-
land has even met the minimum rate
of 11a per cent, in effect in New York
since February, 1884.
A sustained period Of extremely
low interest is probable. which means
more refunding of Government, mu-
nicipal and corporation issues and
consequent reduction in the income Of
the investor. Not only this, but in
being compelled to take low interest
obligation for one maturing or called
and at a high rate-as 312 to 3A for
5, 5ia, 6 and per cent iSsues-he
must expect in the next period of
high money to see his new bonds at
substantial discount. So, in the
forced conversion-for that is what
it amounts to-he loses both ways.
There should be some sort of COM
pensation for this.

So The Casino Murder Case"
with a new Philo Vance was no
exception to my enjoyment of these
stories on the screen and on the
printed page.
This time Paul Lukas is cast as
the detective who gets in on the
ground floor before several mys-
FERROUS murders happen in the
wealthy but eccentric Llewellyn
family.
LukaS does a good job as the de-
tective and he acts it along the
lines of those who have played the
role of Sherlock Holmes.
Personally, I like to see my de-
tectives get into all kinds of trouble
and to face a mean looking revolver
held by the villain This happens
in this murder mystery.
The director has aimed to con-
fuse the patron of this movie and
in that he has succeeded and 1
think a little too we'll.
Even now am still confused be-
cause I thought another fellow was
the one poisoning the drinking
water of the victims. Well, I was
all wrong, but I like this sort of
confusion on the screen.
Mr.. Lukas has the satisfactory
confusing services of Alison Skip
worth. Donald Cook, Rosalind Rus
sell. Arthur Byron and others.
The comedy is handled by Louise
Fazenda and Ted Healy. Miss
Fazenda is funny, but have diff
ferent idea about Healy.

AS far as mannerisms are con-
cerned, Mr.. Arliss seems to be more
Of himself than the duke. although
the ArliSs mannerisms have never
irritated me.
The value of Mr.. Arliss in this
role is that he has humanized We'll

and diplomatic giant and a great
general.
The entire background is theatre
cal but there are enough historical
sign posts present to keep the story
in the period where it belongs.
One of the most amazing charac-
terizationS is that of Allan AyneS-
worth as Louis XVIII. Here is a
masterpiece and one of the most
interesting of the French kings to
reach the screen lately.
There is lot of action, intrigue,
battles and the like in this story
and so this makes THE Iron Duke
more theater than just an historical
movie document.
1t is my opinion that his Roths-
child and Disraeh are the two
greatest and finest roles that Mr.
Arliss has in his historical album.
This movie is worth while and
gives the star an opportunity to ap-
pear in the role Of an interesting
leader of history.

was written in Spillville, Ia, where

In this congenial atmosphere he

At any rate its continued popu-
