Market Open for South Special Agent Urges Direct Trade
A report by Charles M. Pepper, special agent of the Department of Commerce and Labor, highlights Asiatic Turkey as a strong market for Southern products. It notes raw cotton, resin, phosphates, pitch pine, tobacco, sponges, and cotton fabrics as leading Southern imports and discusses direct steamship links to Mediterranean ports. Pepper cites competition from Manchester and Italy, the need for permanent American sales agents, and potential gains from cottonseed oil amid complex tariff and religious considerations among Asiatic Turkey’s 17 million inhabitants.
