" this seed a year, and if we figure on an Credit This Year. : & BY JOHN F. SI Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK. April 17.—~Max Winkler, New York banker, estimates that Ameri- can bankers this year will lend $667.- 000,000 in Latin America. Four coun- tries needing financial assistance imme- diately are Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia and Peru, and there are others which will require money shortly. Brazil's total foreign loans this year, according to Dr. Winkler, should aggre- gate $150.000,000. Bollvia’s, need of money at the mo- ment comes from the marked decline in her price of tin. Krueger & Toll, the Swedish match concern, are working to obtain the match monopoly in Bolivia in lieu of a large loan. But the New York banker believes that a loan of $25,000,000 may be negotiated in this country. Colombia needs approximately $31.- 000,000, while Uruguay needs $17,000,000. Then there is Chile, now carrying on extensive internal improvements and Tequiring $62,000,000 to finish them. But it is Argentina that needs money most. Internal improvements, railroads and highway building and electrical ex- pansion there call for some $454,000,000, “It is, perhaps, of interest to state,” says Dr. Winkler, “that the American credit will cost Argentina 5': per cent, as compared with 6% per cent for the British loan. This discrepancy enables us to understand the reason for our success In wresting the business from the British.’ The surface of Latin America, in a business way, has not been scratched. ‘Will Congress, alrea thousand special inter: golfer Stacey Bender, secretary of the Met- ropolitan Golf Association of New York, warns golfers that Congress is about to increase the tariff on imported bent- grass seed from 2 cents to 40 cents a pound. He cries “outrage,” and then proceeds to explain wh “American seed growers may benefit probably $50,000 mnunlly in their gross sales by this big new tariff schedule but American golf clubs will be forced to pay $350,000 a vear for the previlege of buying this kind of grass should such a duty be enacted. “Each club takes about 150 pounds of LAIR. v harassed by a ts, listen to the average for the 4,600 clubs in existence. we realize the proposed increase will add $262,000 a year to the cost of maintenance. Add to that another $90.- 000 for newly organized clubs, or those which need remodeling or reconstruct- ing, and you see what it costs us for this innocent bill. Let every club mem- ber get busy.” American grass growers, mostly in Rhode Island and on the Pacific Coast, supply only 15 per cent of the total seed used each year. Canada, Germany and New Zealand send us the balance. The rate proposed by the House of Representatives was 10 cents a pound, but the conferees have adopted the Senate’s 40 cents a pound schedule. 1f a great mass of fighting golfers spells anything, that schedule is due for 1930, by the North American Newspaper Alliance.)

NEW YORK, April 17.—Sales of manufacturers and ‘wholesalers were re- Komd as “ " in only three of one undred market centers in the United States covered in a survey conducted by Credit Monthly magazine. The three cities reporting brisk sales were Miami, Fla.; Lincoln, Nebr., and Charlotte, N. C. In 66 cities, a majority of the firms participating characterized their sales | as “fair,” and 31 cities reported sales Qistinetly below normal for this time of year. In only 4 out of 104 eities re- porting on collections did a majority of the firms characterize their collections as " These cities were Omaha, | Nebr., Springfield, Mass.; Davenport, | Jowa, and Miami, Fla. In 43 other | cities, a majority of the firms reported collections as “fair,” while collections were reported slow in 57 cities. These figures show a slight gain over the collection survey made last month by the research department of the Na- tional Association of Credit Men. At that time none of the cities reported collections “good,” aithough _several cities had moved over from the “slow” column to “fai: POTATO MARKET.

NEW YORK, April 17.—The same conditions that have been prevailing in the bond market for several weeks were in_evidence again today. Prices of high grade and secondary issues were heavy. Quite a long list of pular descriptions touched new low melx for the current movement. Con- vertibles were irregular, though showing a tendency to rally with the stock mar- ket after a lower opening. There were some soft spols in parts of the foreign | list where strength had been notable recently. Trading in American Telephone & Telegraph 41:s was on & much smaller scale following the 12-point decline on ‘Wednesday. The bonds declined nearly 2 points at the start and then rallied over 4 points to encounter further sell- ing and a secondary reaction. Interna- tional Telephone 4!;s were steadier. Atchison 4135 declined fractionally. In the high grade list of rails there were losses in Baltimore & Ohio 4s and in Great Northern 7s. The latter are 3 points under their recent high. Mis- souri Pacific 56 were off 1,. Erie Re- funding 5s also declined . and selling a point below. French 7s and 7':s were down { to 12 and German Ts 1. lower. The Ger- man Central Bank 6s were also easier and about 6 points under the March high. Cables from Berlin stated it had definitely been determined to issue a 5!, per cent reparations loan on a 6 per cent basis, with between $75,000,000 and $80,000,000 of the total of $300,000,~ 000 to be allocated to this country. An indication of the effect abroad of easier money rates was given in the an- nouncement that Denmark is to take up immediately the goverment issues of 6 per cent and 5' per cent bonds, both outstanding in the amount of $3,000,000, and refund with a 413 per cent coupon. ‘The 6s are callable at 105, or their pres- ent price, and the 5'5s at 100.

Elliott, president, says in part as fol- lows: “The year 1929 wis not a prosperous one for farmers living along your lines. “In Florida the growers had to face a serfous situation due to discovery of the Mediterranean fruit' fly infestation, followed by drastic quarantines on fruit and certain vegetables. A very unsat- isfactory market situation because of the largest citrus crop ever produced in Florida became further demoralized in the rush to ship the remainder of the crop permitted to be moved to mar- ket, depressing prices to still lower levels. Much fruit was sold at un- profitable prices with loss to many growers. “Due to the eradication work of the Florida and Federal Departments of Agriculture, quarantine restrictions have been appreciably modified, and in the Winter of 1929-30 most of the important. vegetables of Florida were grown and moved freely. The citrus fruit crop for 1929-30, estimated at 14,000,000 boxes, was marketed at higher prices than in the previous season. A large amount of early vegetable planting was destroyed 1 by rains and storm, bul replanting was promptly effected, so the \eg‘uhle movement, it is estimated, Wlll be i excess of the previous season.” Baltimore Markets Special Dispatch to The Star.
