Business was re- ported fairly brisk yesterday, but a slow moving of commodities was re- ported this morning. Receipts of kale, spinach, watercress, | dandelion and artichokes this morning were fairly heavy, dealers in the com- n house district and on the farmers' line reported, and cheaper prices ruled. Kale was offered at 50 cents, watercress and spinach at 50 and 75 cents, dandelion at $1 and arti- chokes at $1.50 a bushel. Spinach was cheaper this morning than it has been since last season, dealers stated. Lima Beans Scarce. | Very few lima beans were to be had this morning. Dealers received what may prove the last of the season’s crop from Eastern Shore of Maryland and quoted a price of $6.50 and 87 a bushel. String beans, shipped-in stock, best quality, sold around $2.50 a bushel bas- ket. Much of the receipts were reported 80 _rusty that shipments were refused.

Cu- cumbers, more plentiful, were offered at & wide range of prices, fancy awck‘ selling at $4 and $4.50 a bushel. No. 2 stock sold around $2.50 and $3. A scarcity of eggplants was reported. Florida shippers sent increased sup- plies of white squash, however, that found ready sale at $3 a bushel. Fruit receipts continued heavy, the several grades being offered at a wide range | of prices. Dealers in marine products reported light receipts of supplies for the Friday and week end trade, very few fish coming from the Potomac River. Poto- mac netters supplied fairly large quan- tities of rockfish and trout and small quantities of catfish. They also sent a | few small yellow perch, but the fish were so small and received in such &mall quantities that prices were not quoted. Boston mackerel, chiefly frozen stock, were offered at cents; Spanish mackerel, fresh caught, received from Florida, selling at 25 cents a pound. Salmon and halibut, received from Boston packers, were quoted at 30 cents, dealers also having small quantities of the fresh halibut at the same price.

STILL HOLDING THE EVENING § BIG TRADE IN SOUTH Latin America Continues to Be Good Customer in Cer- tain Lines, Special Dispatch to The Star, NEW YORK, November 7.—Latin America is all prepared to be resentful of action taken by the n Con- gress on tariff schedules. But Latin America is not red to0 ch6p off pur- chases of Ame imports into those countries. That is the éonsensus of ex- porters and foreign trade experts today. Latin America purchases from the United States now consists largely of products whiche other nations cannot supply or on which they cannot com- gete with regard to quality of price. ut sentiment has much to do with Latin American trade, and ‘if the time comes when foreign nations can make offerings of goods in competition with those from this country it seems likely they will get the preference, This is already shown in the success- ful capturing of the Latin American trade by European textile manufac- turers, makers of optical goods, cutlery, speciaities and cheap hardware. On the other hand, sales by the United States of agricultural machinery, radio and electrical apparatus, phonographs and similar goods have trebled since 1914, merely because Latin America could not buy them to any advantage elsewhere. But aside from all this, Latin Ameri- can trade seems likely to be smaller in months to come. Just at the moment Latin America has its own financial troubles without ‘ncurring active enmity on the part of business men here through anti-American trade programs. Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia and Peru are oil produecrs, and while the fields of those countries are largely in the hands of American, English and Dutch interests the depression in oil has had a powerful effect on the governmental revenues. Not only has production | been cut down, but production and ex- port taxes are in some cases payable in oil, and oil prices have also declined. The fruit industry, or at least the ba- nana industry, is in the hands of American companies, but England with her West Indian I)ossrsslflns is rapidly developing into a formidable competitor for the European trade in bananas. The coffee producers, headed by Brazil, have been hard hit financially by the condi- tions in this year's markets. Coffee is the barometer of prosperity as regards many of the South American and Cen- tral American countries, headed by Brazil. The trade of this country with 9 out of 20 Latin countries, however, is determined by the condition of the cof- ee crop and coffee price levels. g e o Collecting old paper mache trays and ornaments is a new fad in Europe.
