German Houses Ready to Finance Argentine Trade R. S. Barrett Says Demand for American Goods in That Country Will Not Get Back to War Level -/ Robert S. Barrett, until recently American commercial attach? at Buenos Ayres, does not expect the tin settled commercial and financial condi? tions in Argentina which aro now ^holding up trad? to last long:, but when the situation returns to normal exporters in the United States, ho says, will not bo able to sell goods to that country in such large ?juantities as they did during the war. At present, Mr. Barrett told a repre? sentative of the American Manufac? turers' Association yesterday, Argen? tina is plentifully supplied with im? ported merchandise, particularly tex? tiles. During the war goods were hard to get, and the dealers ordered about three times as much as they expected would be delivered. With the signing of the armistice there came a drop in prices and a delivery of these back orders. Textile prices in Buenos Ayrea when Mr. Barrett left were from 25 to 40 per cent below Now York prices. G arman? After Trade "One of the motrt Interesting phase* of the situation," he said, "is the pres? ent position of the German textile houses. Argentine textile trade haa been in tho hands of England and Ger? many for a long time. At the begin? ning of the war the large German houses were for the most part com? pelled to liquidate their business. As n result they found themselves with large sums of money on hand which they were able to utilise in the mak? ing of short time loans. Now they are financially able to take advantage of the pric? reductions and lay in large stocks wiiich will practically give them control of the market. On the other hand, the English houses have on hand large stocks of textiles which have been on order for many months and which were purchased when prices were at the very peak. This naturally gives the" Germans a substantial advantage, and for that reason it can be stated that much of the future trade in tex? tiles in the Argentine will have to go through tho German houses. This does, of course, affect the British tex? tile tTade to a greater extent than it does the American, for the reason that the American trade has comparatively no system of distribution for textiles." In Mr. Barrett's opinion the labor trouble in Argentina soon will right itself with the return of markets to normal conditions. There is a shortage of ships to that country, caused by the heavy demand for relief to Europe. These conditions are holding up trade now, but both are temporary, he said. Troubles Not Unexpected The financial troubles Argentina is going through, according to Mr. Barrett, were not unexpected, as they appear about every seven years. The last crsis was in 1912-*13. '[ do not believe that the present trouble will be as serious as others have been," he said. "There is a lot of money in Argentina. It is indeed a prosperous country. Crops have been good recently and as soon as the accumulation of stocks is off tho mar? ket Argentina will again be a big buyer of American goods." Mr. Barrett says ?he activities of American banks recently have con? tributed to strengthening the position of American commerce in the Argen? tine, and that exporters here will be able to compete with those in other countries. Machinery Is Needed In answer to an inquiry as to the likelihood of any Argentine industries, which have sprung up during the war, becoming sufficiently strong to com? pete in normal trade, Mr. Barrett stated that there was some probability of this. "There is n growing sentiment in Argentina," he said, "for tariffs that will adequately protect the Argentine industries. The best example I can give offhafcd of one of these new in? dustries is the large cement plant in Fiuenos Ayres. This plant has a capacity of" 3,000 barrels of cement a day, lit?d it will meet one-half of the domestic demand for cement in the Argentine. With proper governmental protection there is every reason to believe that this industry will grow. Other instances might be cited in the manufacture of paper, shoes, hats, furniture, leather, etc, "It is, of course, true that all these industries would be in better condition than they now are had it been possible to supply tho need for machinery. In some cases machinery could not be had. In other1?, the owners would not purchase it at the war prices. It is a significant fact, however, that even without this machinery, the native in? dustries have made excollent progress. Shoas constitute a good example of this. The annual exportation of shoes from tho United States to the Argentine is rather large, but at tho present time the imported shoes are feat disappearing from the Argentino market. Their place is being taken by the product of the Argentino fac? tories." Short Term Notes Seeurlts". Rate. Due. Bid. Asked. "Slel?

Develop? ment of this new branch of tho leather industry has reached the stage where tho raw material has been converted into men's, women's and children's shoes and belts? wallets, portfolios, brief cases, etc. According to Alfred Ehrenreich, president of the Ocean Leather Com? pany, of New York, who for some time past has been working on process? es for the efficient tanning of fish skins, the production of this new form of leather is only in its infancy and holds strong possibilities of a rapid and large growth. Reclaiming plants are operated by this company at More head City, N. C; Cape Lookout, N. C; Fort Myers, Fla., and Sanibal Island, Fla., where with comparatively limited facilities an average of 200 large fish is caught daily. Nets, hooks and pound or wire trap nets are U3ed in gathering fish, Including mammals. 500 Hides Tanned in Week At the reduction plants the fish are ?stripped of their skins, which are shipped to the company's tannery in Newark, N. J., where the finished leather is produced. Mr. Ehrenreich declares that at present the tannery is treating about 500 hides a week, but that next y^ar it is likely that the weekly output will range from 2,000 to 0,000 hides. These hides, Mr. Ehren? reich said, run from 10 square feet to about 40 square feet and in some cases devil fish hides are as large as 100 squaro feet. As a finished product the leather sells for from 5 cents to $1.25 a square foot, depending to quality. Sole leather that is said to be in? destructible is made made from cha green, or the outer grain of nurse sharks caught in tho Gulf of Mexico or in south Atlantic waters. This grain contains a hard substance which is1 also used for the making of emery wheels. Experiments are now being made to adapt this material for ser? vice in diamond cutting intruments. Gullets of seal aro made into covers for medicine and perfume bottles and also can be used for the same pur? poses as chamois skin. Nothing goes to waste at the reduc? tion plants or the tannery. The stom? achs of sharks are converted into shoe and fancy leather, while tho in? testines of the porpoiso make an ex? cellent thin leather suitable for man? ufacturing infants' and children's shoes. All species of sharks, rays I and devil fish ("manta") can be made j into shoe, bag or fancy leather. Many By-Products Obtained "All species of the whale family which we catch, such as killer whales, blackfish and porpoiso?all mammals," said Mr. Ehrenreich, "can be made into shoe, bag or fancy leather. Splits | also can be made into leather for j shoos. By-products of our reduction | plants include food, fertilizer, chicken ? and cattle feed, oil, glue, strings for 1 musical instruments and skins for sau | sages. Shark fins are sold to Chinese j as delicatessen, and we find a service ; for the blood of this animal as a tan | ning material.

Because of the misinterpretation of statements of certain speakers at the recent foreign trade council in Chi? cago, Dr. R. S. MacElwee, assistant chief of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, came to New York and explained the government's scope and plan on foreign credits to the ex? port and credit managers at the Ark wright Club. The compilation of a World Trade Directory, in which foreign firms will bo rated as to size, is one of the big features the State Department and the bureau of foreign and domestic Commerce are working on to assist American exporters and credit men, according to Dr. MqcElwee. Cards Up to Date "This ia not a published directory such as one might gather from the title," he said, "but a card catalogue directory that will be available in com? piling a list of possible prospects for American goods overseas. A published directory becomes old too soon and it is difficult to keep it up-to-date. A card directory with frequent mimeo? graphed lists of names according to country and commodity will make it possible to fetter serve the individual firm. As you know, the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce has distributed trade lists for some time in the past. These trade lists have been sent in by consuis and trade com? missioners, commercial agents and other persons travelling abroad. They havo been largely copied from local directories or other sources that may have come to the notice of the par? ticular officer. There has been no ef? fort made to date, because it seemed Curb Market Note.?The Tribune assumes no responsi? bility for the accuracy or authenticity of curb market quotations.

The main object of the World Trade Directory as now contemplated is to re?dit all lists that we have and make new ones In order to bring them up-to-date and to indicate by one( two or three stars the comparative size of the firms on the list. "Lists with indications as to the comparative size and importance of the firm will make for several different types of saving: (a) It will save printed matter, because many foreign firms are circularized that are not worth a postage stamp, (b) It will save useless calls of travelling sales? men, because a salesman in a foreign city loses a great deal of time calling on small retail houses, (c) It will be a guide to making discounts. Probably one of the greatest mistakes beginners in exporting make in the United States is the granting of indiscriminate dis? counts to an inquiring firm just be? cause it is foreign. This policy often leads to the granting of the discount to the local customer of a large im? porting house, the discount being so low that it is impossible afterward to sell the big house. Excellent markets have been ruined for certain firms by this practice of indiscriminate dis? counts. No firm should be quoted ap inside wholesale price until the ex? porter is quite sure that this firm is of sufficient, size and importance and has a sufficient number of branches, travel? ling salesmen, or agencies to make it worth while. No Conflict With Other? "The bureau of foreign and domes? tic commerce," continued Dr.McElwee, "is contemplating the establishment of a commercial intelligence division to aid in building up this directory, but no funds are available. At present the bureau will confine its efforts to re editing the lists already at hand. "We feel that there is no conflict in this work with existing commercial rating agencies," he said, "but we be? lieve that by giving American business houses a good '6tecr' in going after prospects that we can aid in promoting commerce. However, when the pros? pect has been brought to the point of placing an order or seems reasonably well on the trade to such a place it is the duty of the export manager to get a commercial rating as to the credit of the prospect. We so thoroughly believe in the necessity of building up foreign credit ratings and the using of the same that so far as wo are concerned we are interested in urging every ex? port manager to use the best cvedit fa? cilities that he can find. Giving this credit information is not within the province of a government agency. It is a private affair for existing credit bu? reaus and credit associations, or those that may be formed."
