I.—The American dollars ts at such a premium In Latin-Amerlcan and Routh American countries that Belgians, Germans and other foreign traders, through ahillty to quote goods at lower prices have forced virtually a suspension of Ameri can selling campaigns In countries to the South. Cabled reports of American consuls In principal South American capitals to Secretary of Comerce llooTer only add* more uncertainty to an already complex exchange and foreign trade problem a* it affer-ts American business men. Consuls told of Germans quoting a wide range of goods and commodities In South America at 50 per cent below the prices quoted by American firms. The Germans, they snld, are gaining a monopoly In the South American market, through their ability to ship cliearlypcjred goods and often inferior goods to American commodities In quality. Low exchange in South America ia operating distinctly to the advantage of the traders of German, Great Britain, France Belgium and Spain, all of whom are underbidding Americans and are rushing In their products.
