ARGENTINA EXPORTS.
Exports of cereals, butter, and meat from Argentina during the first quarter of the current year show expansion on comparison with 1918 figures in all those commodities with the exception of grains, which underwent no material variation in quan* tity. The total .was 692,861 tons of wheat, maize, linseed, and oats, as against 693,124 tons shipped in-the corresponding period of 1918. Jleat cargoes, most of -. which were for the United* Kingdom, comprised 1,317,098 quarters of beef .and 373,641 carcases of mutton and lamb, as compared with 1,25i,230 quarters and 260,510 carcases. Butter continues to make headway as an item on the list of exports from the republic, the quantity forwarded to oversea markets in the latter term being 239,807 cases, as against 156,948 cases in the January-March quarter of last year. Industrial disturbances at Buenos Ayres were largely responsible for a diminution in shipments of wool despatched, but it is expected that the ground lost will be made up quickly now that the labour trouble has been ended. ■■■'.'I
