During the first ten months of 1921, the survey said, trade with the east coast of -South Amerfea’ constituted about’s per cent of the ‘total foreign trade of this country, exports being twice as large #s imports. In the case of tie north and south Atlantic coast ‘traffic. 71 per cent was carried by foreign"Ships, while ‘trade between ths gulf east coast of South America was di- vided between American and foreign ships on a 37 and 63 per cent, basis, respectively.

Commercial Attache Feely Cables of Situation. Argentina’s agricultural conditions were described as “alarming” by Com- mercial Attache Feeley in a cabled summary of the general situation in that country, just. made public by the Department of Commerce. “There is little to indicate,” he sald, “that the situation in Argen- tina has experienced any general im- provement during the past month. The situation with regard to Argen- tina’s agricultural industries has be- come alagming. “Exporfs are decreasing and the Banco de la Nacion is_consldering a five-year extension of credit at 5 per cent on live stock and agricul- tural products. Proceeds of the loan of $50,000,000 recently obtained from New York ban have been, it is reported, entirely disposed of, and as {a large amount is to be remitted, ex- change on New York will probably be affected.” VOLUNTEERS TO MEET.
