1. A commercial agent by the name of Kalman Balint, who is a Chilean citizen
of Hungarian origin, is in Hungary on a commercial mission. He sold the
Hungarian firm Ferunion a shipload of Chilean copper, which was shipped
from Argentina and which has probably already reached the Polish port of
Gdynia.
2. Hungary recently bought 10,000 hectoliters of wine from Chile at a price
higher than usual. The price difference was debited to the account of
Ferunion, t}iough the Monimpex enterprise has special fund for such
purposes (Arkiegyenlitdsi Alap/Arlef818z8 3s tamogatb Alap - price
