New Government Plans To Boost Trade Across Markets
The Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce will launch the most extensive market studies ever, starting after July. Twelve lines will be surveyed and fifteen examinations set to locate agents for work in South America, the Far East, Africa, and Australia, focusing on construction materials, machinery, groceries, vehicles, and other goods. Potash deposits at Salduro Marsh in Utah promise a potential national supply, while April building data show a mixed boom with delays and high costs affecting overall gains.
