FLOUR TRADE in
BRAZIL DECLINES
American Trade Agent Says
There Is Yet Hope in South
sft "a IS
America.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Sept. especial Agent
Hutchinson of the department of COM
merce and labor, who for several months
has been investigating commercial ques-
tions in South America, has an interest
ing letter in today's Daily Consular and
of Brazil. He notes that the flour ex-
ports to Brazil from the United States
have steadily declined since 1908, when
they aggregated 457,7O0 barrels. In
1905 they aggregated but 1888 bar
rels, the computation in each case being
for the ten months ending April 80.
Brazilian newspapers, noticing this
decline, assert that the bulk of the
American -four trade in their country is
at an end, but Mr.. Hutchinson does not
agree with them.
Trade in North Brazil.
After thoro investigation he believes
that, while our trade with central and
southern Brazil is perhaps at an end
due to the competition of Argentine
and to the larger use of fourmllls IN
Brazil, there is no reason why our Hour
exports to the northern part of that
vast country should not continue tC
grow at rapid rate. He concludes that
our flour exports to Brazil have reached
their lowest figure, and then says:
we nave been driven from Jhe
southern market, where conditions are
strongly against. us. We are likely tc
continue to lose ground in the mid-coast
ports, where advantages are likewise
with our competitors; but we may ex
pect an increase in the entire vast re-
gion from Pernambuco to Manaos and
beyond. The figures since 1903 are not
as discouraging as they seem to be on
their face, and the great decrease OF
1905 as compared with 1904 is explained
by the fact that 1904 was an off year In
our general export flour trade.''

ENRiCHES DEPEW

all the syndicate profits made by these
men.
Most Valuable Discovery.

The most valuable discovery made by
1nqulsltor Hughes dealt with the George
IL. Squire trustee account It was
originally opened in October, 1900, in
the American Deposit & Loan company,
which was the predecessor of the Equit-
able Trust company Henry Rogers
winthrop, financial manager of the
Equitable Life, testified as to this ac-
count.
A young clerk in the employ of the
Equitable named Henry Greaves, pro.
duced the passbook used by Mr.. Squire
with the Equitable Trust company, in
which record Of the deposits to the
credit Of the mysterious funds was
made.
One Of Greaves' duties was to enter
IN minute book record of all the
moneys deposited by Mr.. Squire to the
credit of the George II. Squire trustee
account. Mr.. Squire, it developed, sim
ply gave the young man oral instruc-
tions about these entries, and in several
| instances he told him nothing about
sums OF money which eventually found
their way into the mysterious account.
Profits Thru syndicates.
The total of the deposits to this &C
count was $165,000. Nearly all of this
represented profits made by the Equit-
saplo Lilo III SyHulcaJe operations. In
hunting down deposit of $54,631.13,
made in 1902, Mr.. Hughes discovered
that this sum represented the balance
on an account in the Mercantile COM
pany known as the Marcellus Hartley
trustee account. Mr.. Hartley died some
time before this transfer was made.
And it is presumed that the functions
Of the Hartley account were transferred
upon his death to the Squire trustee
account. ~.
The Squire trustee account was wound
up by transferring the balance of $780,
900 to the credit Of the yellow-dog fund,
known as the ~. w. A. No. account, y
carried on the books of the Mercan-
tile Trust company. This notorious
$6S5,OO0 account has been paid up.
&c.. What May Be Shown.
Mr.. Hughes expects to be able to
show just where the unaccounted-fo1
sos, 900 Of the Squire trustee account
went and who got the money. Thomas
B. Jordan, former controller Of the
Equitable; William H. Mcintyre, its
former fourth vice president, and George
81. Squires could have drawn against
the Squire account. It is doubtful
whether they will testify. Mr.. Jordan
and Mr.. Mcintyre are out of the state
and Mr.. Squire is ill.

this way:
Each setting OF flowers must repre-

earth ana man. In placing blossoms in
vase the vase aud water are earth,
the short stemmcd flowers man and the
tall ones heaven. The ramifications of
this principle lie delicate, subtle mean

There are flowers which represent
months and flowers which represent
days. ana as every Japanese house con

Every family OF standing has arts

flowers, and the manner Of entertaining
an honored visitor is to ask him to ar
range some flowers. The guest is gov
