BRAZILIANS ARE
IN MARKET FOR
BIG PURCHASES
RIO DE JANEIRO, June 1 (Corre
spondence of Associated Press).—
Business in Brazil, which had been
stagnated since the first of October,
1918—a month before the signing of
the armistice—has since the first of
April shown marked indications of an
upward trend, and a well-manifested
optimism has taken the place among
business men here interested in trade
with the United States of the forebod
ings which many of them expressed
one or two months ago.
A canvass of the leading bankers
and American commercial representa
tives in Rio de Janeiro recently has
brought out the fact that the old order
of transactions on a free and unpan
icky basis has begun. Importers are
placing orders for new stocks in lim
ited quantities, and a fair share of
them are going to American firms and
factories.
Brazilian commerce, both domestic
and foreign, has just weathered one of
the most severe storms in its history,
and the very few business failures
which resulted was considered re
markable by both local and foreign
business men. The crisis was due t6
a number of calamities which followed
one another in rapid succession. The
freezing of about 60 per cent of the
mature coffee trees was the first, fol
lowed closely by the appointment of
a government food commission which
was obliged to arbitrarily fix prices
upon certain raw materials for indus
try—notably cotton. The textile in
dustry was hard hit by this action,
and the loss of confidence among dis
tributors of their product.
Early in October the influenza epi
demic closed mills and paralyzed trade
and this was followed by the signing
of the armistice, with a general anti
cipation of a drop in prices in all staple
commodities.
Shoi’tly after the close of hostilities
came a deluge of deliveries on orders
placed in the United States as much
as a year before, and the wholesale
cancellations which resulted were due
to the fact that the Brazilian merchant
had to choose between cancellation or
extension and bankruptcy. He chose
the former in most cases. The large
stocks which accumulated through the
period of stagnation are now being
worked off, and buyers are again be
ginning to secure quotations from
abroad.
Brazilian and North American busi
ness men generally agree that the
prosperity of the North American trade
in Brazil from now on will depend
greatly on the prices and qualities.
The prices must be within competing
distance of European houses and the
quality of goods shipped must be such
as to give entire satisfaction to the
Brazilian merchant. A substitute ship
ment of “something just as good” in
stead of the exact shipment ordered
is of incalculable damage to not only
the firm involved but others of the
same country.
SIX THOUSAND TAXICABS
ARE IDLE IN LONDON
LONDON, June 21 (by mail).—
There are only 3,000 taxicabs on the
streets of London today, as compared
with 9,000 in 1914. One company own
ing 3,000 idle cars refuses to operate
them because the government will not
permit it to charge a flat rate of
25 cents a mile. Five hundred other
cars are kept out of service by the
police requirement that there shall
be a clearance of ten inches between
their axles and the ground.
At a hearing before a committee of
parliament this requirement was de
nounced as a foolish rule. It was in
tended to save the lives of persons
who might be knocked down by taxi
cabs. The parliamentary committee
promised to have the idle cars put
into use.
AUTOMOBILE TAXIS
REPLACE OLD HORSES
PARIS, June 12 (by mail).—The peo
ple of Paris are watching with regret
the gradual disappearance of cabs
and cabmen of the old school. Auto
mobile taxicab competition had re
duced the number of one-horse cabs
in Paris to a little less than 4,000 be
fore the war. The requisition of all
horses fit for any service in the army
reduced the number to less than 2,000
in 1915. Now there are only 564 in
sei’vice.
