There have been large sales of evaporated milk by established importers at prices showing an absolute loss of ?4 to P5 a case on the landed cost. It is in a way fortunate that there are ample stocks of canned fish in the Philippines. Pack this year in Cali fornia in the Monterey District is practically nil. Fishing in Southern California started early October and the catch was fairly heavy at the beginning but has been dropping off ever since and by late October was insignificant. It seems most probable that the canned fish pack in Southern California as well as in the north for the current season will be far below normal and probably insufficient to take care of more than a small portion of the customary export demand. Many packers are withdrawn altogether. Those offering are asking considerably higher prices than were ruling previously. The Import Control Commission has stated it will issue licenses for flour importations for approximately 1,750,000 bags for November and December shipments. Corresponding applications are now being processed and it is expected licenses will be issued for the entire quantity very shortly. Considerable delay is still being encountered in securing import licenses from the I.C.C.

Prices for rayons likewise continued to fall in sympathy with the reductions in cottons, but this was caused pri marily by lower prices in the United States rather than by heavy arrivals. However, in the instance of rayons, the decline has not been as marked. During October, prices in the United States remained firm in respect to cottons, with slight decreases in print An IMPORTANT PERSON In Your Life Here is the important young lady upon whose finger tips depend much of your daily life’s routines —your telephone operator.
