A—6 BRAZL SEEXS WAY T0 REDLGEDEBTS Outlook Held Favorable for Slight Improvement in Exchange Situation. By the Assoclated Press. | RIO DE JANEIRO, Apri! 20.—While Brazil tackles its tariff schedules and| continues to seek a method to reduce‘l the heavy foreign debt burden of its| states and municipalities, the outlook s considered favorable for a slight im- ment in the exchange situation in Sine or Juy. Repayment of the federal govern- ment’s $21,500.000 obligation to Roths- childs of London will b> completed by | July. Although it is expected that a new credit will be obtained, a longer- term operation probably will enable the vernment to devote more resources exchange. ‘The government has been paying Rothschilds in monthly installments averaging $1,800,000 and in mid-March had paid off approximately $17,250,000 | of the debt. : ‘Would Improve Business. Easing of the burden, which has taken about $60,000 a day, is almost certain to have its effect on easing €x- change restrictions somewhat. If the government can devote half of the amount it has been paying monthly to| exchange petitioners, importers will benefit by about $600.000 a month. Any slight improvement in this direc- | tion will have a stimulating effect on business in general, although the prin- cipal exchange problem—that of con- gealed milrels, probably will remain a sticker for some time to come. About s million contos ($70.000,000 at offi- elal exchange) is tied up. Demands of the coffee trade for tarifft reductions to counteract high- duty tendencies against coffee abroad has spurred the government commission | on tariff revision, starting revision ol{ @ 30-year-old law. One device in the| which American exporters dis- m the provision for calculating Sariffs in paper milrels, then converting Shem into mnon-existing gold milreis. This process, in effect, increases ad walorem duties about seven times over their stated percentage. Studies Delay Decree. A decree making effective the govern- | ment commission’s project for convert-| ing foreign debts of the states and municipalities into milreis has been de- layed pending further studies. First overtures made to foreign bankers did not meet with an overly warm response. The states owe about $257,000,000 abroad and the municipalities about $92,000,000, service in suspension since | early in 1931. The federal government’s m‘gg debt, amounting to about $475,000,000, likewise in suspension, is due for re- sumpticn of service in 1934. e THEBAUD TAKES TO SEA EN ROUTE TO WASHINGTON Pride of Gloucester Fishing Fleet Leaves Amid Whistles, Fire- erackers and Cheers. @ the Assoclated Press. id hundred residents of this old port.

A favorable wind, north northwest, sped Thebaud on her way, amid the din of whisties, firecrackers and cheers, ‘Thebaud’s crew, made up entirely of New England fishing skippers, will ask the Federal Government to save the in- dustry from the destructive competition of Japanese and Canadisn fish.

Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, April 20.—When manu- facturers, wholesalers and jobbers in seasonal wearing apparel trades opened their factories and stores this week they | Premi were in a happler frame of mind than on Easter Monday a year go. Despite the last-minute buying rush this year, makers and merchants re- fused to make and handle stocks above actual orders. The result is that in- ven| to center energies on late Spring and earlier Summer lines instead of worry- ing about stocks parel locally moved in freer volume than men’s suits and furnishings, though top- coats were a large item in men's wear. Saturday's sales far exceedéed expecta- tions of a month ago, but in some in- stances were slightly below predictions early last week. This was due in part to weather, or weather forecasts—fac- tors only ‘partially offset by the attrac- tive values offered. Inquiries for Jewels. As the week end inquiries for fine Jewels increased, dry goods orders, es- pecially in wish goods, broadened: de- mand for notions remained dull, acces- sorjes, such as millinery, blouses, shoes, scarfs, handbags and novelty jewelry, moved quickly, and Easter novelties, candies and flowers were well taken at reduced quotations. Mills moved up prices of various cot- | about Federal bills that would increase | raw material costs, for few are booking | talk in Washington, which brought re- | orders beyond May 1 deliveries and ton goods items because of the inflation are so low that it is possible | | duced that they are convinced they Women's and children’s wearing ap- | i 4 THE EVENING newed gains in basic commodities. Meanwhile the shirt trade talked sbout its labor troubles in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connsctigui ‘manufacturers ampaign for orders with the brew! trade, insisting that the brew- | ers will be good customers as soon as competition stiffens. Many retail salesmen, so the clothing trade heard today, plan to start small or medium-sized stores witbin the next few | months. In some cases these salesmen say that their salaries have been 5o re- would do as well or better for them- selves. Since most of these salesmen are veterans and have a little capital. many cities may expect to see new | men’s wear stores soon. The cotton_gray cloth markets were | very active Saturday, with quotations on 64x60 and 68x72 prints at 34 and | 4Ys cents a yard, respectively. These contrast with 3% and 4 cents a week ago. Sheetings generally are a shade firmer. The bag trade, enjoyed brisk | business from sugar refiners. In fin-| ished goods the demand for percale is | surprising and encouraging, s it sets | the quotation for so many items. On | the other hand, broadcloths are less | active than print cloths, with prices not much changed. Price Protection Planned.

WASHINGTON, nearly all have some protecting clause ip every contract. Some sellers of gray and finished have inserted e following clause in all orders: “Also, in addition to the net price stated herein, buyer agrees to reim- byurse seiler for any increase in cost all or any part of this contract ught about by Federal legislation not now in force.” mills generally have - used |mnch s ‘clause since the first of the -} year. . ‘The primary markets are not worrled about higher prices, but they are worried about whether goods offered a4 higher quotations will sell.

Many construction and fabric developments of t. | the last few years were designed for low-priced levels. In fact, quality was 30 neglected in some quarters that manufacturers will find it difficult to adjust their plans to higher-priced levels. Other Groups Busy.
