THEAfOREGONQ:DAlLY.JOURlAL.N:PORTLAND.THUIlSDAY.;AUGUST V 1919. SOUTH AMERICA IS EAGER FOR TRADE Merchants Will Continue to Look to This Country' for Supplies, Says Trade Commissioner. Merchants , of South America' are going to continue c to look to the United States. for supplies because of the advantage of credit and better price tbey can obtain In thfa coun try. Portland has - the supplies to j ship that are most needed in the west ; coast. countries o the southern con tinent and should be able to build up ' m. remunerative ..trade with Latin America. ,1; . This message was given to Portland merchants, shippers and exporters who conferred Wednesday with " William Wallace. Ewlng, trade commissioner of the department of commerce, In Port land today .on his return to America after spending two years and four months studying the markets in South America and specializing on the market for building, materials and construction machinery. He arrived from San Fran cisco on invitation of the Portland Chamber of . Commerce. "During the war merchants of various countries in South America who secured their supplies from the United States were obliged to meet shorter terms," said Commissioner Ewing. "Much has been written about these merchants re turning to their old source of supplies after the war-time readjustment. From my observations I believe many will continue to purchase in the United States because of the lessons they learned from , securing better prices incident to shorter terms of credit. "The best merchants in the Latin , countries are beginning to realize the ; advantage of these shorter terms as Is Indicated In the recent survey of credits made by a large manufacturing concern In the East which had been supplying the southern trade during the war. The report shows that during the last year and a half .SO per cent of . the business was done on a. cash basis. 25 per cent on short terms of credit and the remain der is seeking the old conditions." Reports have been prepared by Ewlng covering commercial conditions in Cuba, Venezuela. Colombia and . Chile. Peru snd Ecuador. ' These reports . in addi tion cover the economic aspect.' climatic and other conditions and summarise the possibilities offered In each country, in vestigated. In speaking of trade, possibilities with 'the Columbia river district,- Ewlng said that flour and lumber are two of the most needed articles in the west coast countries and urged merchants with whom be conferred to Investigate the possibilities of the district he has just studied. Conferences were ' continued until 6 o'clock this evenhrg at the Cham ber of Commerce. The commissioner will leave for Washington tonight.
