Illshopville Leader and Vindicator brazil EXTENRs TRADE Preference for American Goods will Mean Coiitinuenncc of Market in South. Washington, May 1?;.?The Brazil? ian government has by decree extend? ed until the end of the current year the preferential treatment of Ameri? can Hour, cement and other articles. Tit is decree is regarded as of the utm??st importance to American mill? ing and cement interests. American Hour trade alone with Brazil amounts to about 13,000,000 per annum, utid the withholding of the differentia! would have turned this whole market over to the Argentine millers.

Now. however, according to Ambassa? dor Morgan's cablegram, the presi? dent not only Iuls continued the pref? erential treatment until the end of the current year, hut has made the decree retroactive so as to cover American Imports into Brazil from April ^ NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.
