In our April Report we dwelt at some length upon the favourable 

 conditions prevailing in the Argentine Republic, and it is therefore only 

 necessary to affirm once more that our pleasant business relations with 

 this important consuming market are steadily developing. Fresh evidence 

 of this fact has been received within the past few months; for, thanks to 

 the recognition of the importance of using goods of the best quality, which 

 has found acceptance in all circles of those who are interested in our 

 articles in that country, our brand now holds unchallenged the first place 

 in the Argentine, and, as is shown by our increasing sales, is gradually 

 finding a larger and larger clientele. The prospects of business are also 

 favourable, plentiful rains in the principal wheat-growing districts having 

 lately improved the outlook of the crops, so that it is permissible to 

 entertain hopes of a good harvest, — the antecedent condition of a satis- 

 factory course of trade in all departments of consumption.
