TRADE NOTES 
Economic Conference as Business Builder 
Leading industrial and commercial concerns hope 
that the suggestion for an economic conference to 
follow the arms conference at Washington will be 
acted on favorably soon, since it is expected that 
such a gathering would point the way for stabiliza¬ 
tion of conditions. President Gompers, of the 
American Federation of Labor, is especially 
anxious that such an economic conference take 
place in this country with the view of equalizing 
conditions here and abroad. 
Philadelphia to Have Foreign Irade Convention 
The Ninth National Foreign Trade Convention 
will be held in Philadelphia, May 10-12, according 
to an announcement by O. K. Davis, Secretary of 
the National Foreign Trade Council. The choice of 
Philadelphia is in accord with the policy of the 
Council to hold conventions in different parts of 
the United States. Cleveland was the last meeting 
place.

Norway to Exhibit at Brazil World’s Fair 
Two committees have been organized in Norway 
for the purpose of making representative displays 
at the World’s Fair to be held in Rio de Janeiro 
next year. The export interests will be particu¬ 
larly active in the matter. There already is a good 
market for Norwegian canned products in Brazil. 
American Foreign Traders Approve World Bank 
The American Exporters and Importers’ Asso¬ 
ciation is in favor of a great Federal Reserve Bank 
for foreign trade, and a bill has been drawn up by 
the counsel of the association for the purpose of 
having Congress and the Administration take im¬ 
mediate steps for the inauguration of such an in¬ 
stitution. It is believed that such a bank would 
do more than any other agency toward putting a 
stop to speculation in foreign exchange. 
Spitzbergen Coal Company Report 
The report of the Great Norwegian Spitzbergen > 
Coal Company shows a deficit of 353,042 kroner 
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1921. The com¬ 
pany’s production was 8,059 tons and the total 
shipments amounted to 9,106 tons. The reason that 
the production was not larger was partly due to 
the fact that much time and labor was expended 
in exploitation and development of existing mines. 
The. strike in Norway also had the effect of hamper¬ 
ing the output. The entire production went to 
Northern Norway, for use of steamship companies 
and whale fisheries, concerns subsidized by the gov¬ 
ernment. A contract has been closed with the 
government for the output for the next three years. 
Honors for Consul Ove Lunn 
As a testimony of the esteem in which Consul 
Ove Lunn is held by the business community of 
San Francisco he was tendered a dinner by lead¬ 
ing Danish-Americans in that city on the occasion 
of his appointment as Danish Consul-General for 
Australia. Since his arrival in the Pacific coast 
city Consul Lunn has been instrumental in greatly 
increasing trade between Denmark and the west 
coast of America and it is believed that he will be 
equally successful in the new 7 post.
