New developments In the foreign trade are by no means encouraging. 

 Some of the steamship representatives here refuse altogether to quote 

 ocean freight rates, saying they will have no space before May, and even 

 refusing to book shipments at any figure. The old contracts have been 

 about completed, and no new ones are being taken on account of the 

 uncertainties of the situation. The outlook for the exporters. In fact. 

 Is decidedly unfavorable In so far as getting stocks forwarded Is concerned, 

 and It looks as though the shippers would be unable to take care of the 

 orders which they can get. It Is no longer a question of rates, but of 

 getting tbc steamships to take consignments and there appears •" '■" n.. 

 prospect at this time of any Improvement In the situation.
