New York May 17. Central and South American shippers, unable to obtain sufficient tonnage for exports or manufactured goods, are buying U S machinery to convert raw products into finished articles.

He says trade is moving toward direct dealings with fewer middlemen and larger U S cash and negotiable paper payments.
