BIC IMMIGRATION
FLOW TO BRAZIL
South American Republic Is Building Up in Way to Rival
United States-Easy Settlement Laws and Good
Land Responsible.

A rival of the United States OF no
mean capabilities is being built UP in
Brazil, according to facts set forth In
a recent consular and trade report and
obtained from the annual message of
the President of Brazil. Many striking
figures and statements are set forth as
to Brazils progress. One of the most
striking concerns foreign immigration.
1t is clear that an immense stream
of immigration Is pouring into Brazil
from Europe. 1t is being encouraged In
every way possible by the government.
Settlers are being induced to come and
take over land.
In view of the enormous resources of
the Republic of Brazil and the enor-
nous territory to be developed, 1t is
apparent that a trade and commercial
rival is being built up in South America
to- which this country cannot close its
eyes.
Portuguese In Majority.
The number of immigrants entering
Brazil in 1911 was 1855. This was an
average of 366 per day. This was a
large increase over 1903 and 1910. They
included immigrants from all European
countries, the Portuguese being the
most numerous. The agricultural people
among the immigrants numbered nearly
10000.
1t is stated that to all those who
asked for 1t, official protection was ex-
tended and facilities were given for
their immediate settling. The President
of the republic says a powerful factor
in attracting foreign agricultural labor
ers is the ease with which plots of good
ground can be acquired in colonies
where the surroundings are healthful
and the soil productive.
To foster this, both the general gov
ernment of Brazil and the government
of each state do everything possible 10
encourage the settling of small holders
Roads have been built with the inten-
ton of making communication with the
railways and trade centers easy.
Nucleus Colony Feature.
In the agricultural colonies which
have been built up, there are well-at-

shops, stores for agricultural tools, ma
chinery, and appliances, in addition to
commercial houses and small business
houses
Many Of the foreign immigrants pre-
fer to settle in these colonies, called
nucleus colonies, in which they can live
as II irf town. while carrying on the
farming of small tracts.
It is clear a great impetus Is being
given to agricultural development In
Brazil In fact, the country. according
to the statistics given by the President
of the republic in his message, Is MAX
ing remarkable commercial progress.
Foreign trade Is growing rapidly. Both
imports and exports are increasing.
Railroad building goes ahead steadily
and the federal telegraph system is ex-
panding.
Brazil has long had a feud with Argcn-
tina, its powerful rival to the south.
That the leaders of Brazil are not blind
to the fact that war may spring from
Gus efforts to reorganize the army and
strengthen the navy. Two military col
leges have been founded.
Defense of Coast.
The defense of Brazil's long coast line
has not been forgotten. Surveys have
been made and work Is being pushed on
forts at Rio Janeiro and various points.
, Strategic railways are being pushed.
Great attention is being given to push
ing work on barracks for housing the
forces in the different military districts
into which Brazil is divided.
An order has been placed by the Bra
lillian navy department with English
shipbuilders for three monitors. Three
subma rines have been ordered and the
battletship Rio DIT Janeiro Is well ad-
vanced. improvements are being made
at arsenals at Para. Matto Crosse, and
Rio de Janeiro, with view to their
conversion into repair shops which Will
be adequate for the maintenance of the
Brazilian fleet.
A naval hospital is being completed,
and there are vigorous steps being taken
in number of directions for the
strengthening of the forces of the army
and navy.

TRADING IS MUCH
 LIGHTER IN STOCKS
Most Gains Replaced by Losses-Copper Shares
 Stronger

New York, July 9.--In the early part of today's market session many stocks made pronounced recoveries from the Weakness manifested yesterday, buy Tn the later dealings the list sold orr to level where most gains were replaced by net losses Trading was much lighter than on the preceding day. but obviously no less professional. Some fear was shown regarding the money situation, this feeling being slightly justified in the higher rate demanded for call accom- modations.
 Copper shares, which were among yes terday's heaviest features. were appre- ciably stronger today, their best prices following the publication of the copper producers statement for June, disclos- ing further decrease in the supply, due chiefly to reduced production. This fa- vorable feature of the statement was off, set by a decided reduction in both do- nestle and foreign demand. Private ad- vices from London conveyed intimations that the European copper situation con- tinues somewhat precarious. with heavy realizing on the recent sharp break in prices.
 Another factor of some importance vas the government crop report, issued in the expiring hour of the market. The condi- tions shown were not materially diff ferent from what had been expeetel.
 The bond market was steady with total sales par value aggregation s1 ,s700o0.

HOT WINDS SWEEP
 KANSAS PRA|R|ES
Lively Advance Follows in Corn-Wheat Closed
 IA Higher

Chicago, July 9.-A scare in the corn trade sprang up today over reports or extreme heat in Kansas and brought about lively advance The market fin- ished with net gain of ssn1lsc. Wheat closed skc off to 1Ac higher; oats from hc loss to Ac rise and provisions unchanged to an increase of 12is@i5c.
 There was reason for more than usual interest regarding the governments hrst report this season as to corn. Guesses on acreage were near the official figures, but forecasts of condition proved too op- tfniistic so that the total estimated yield as sent from Washington was construed as favorable to the bull side of the market-too late. however to affect prices today.
 It was not until corn had been jerked lssB2c above last night that prices began to react when later advices from Kan- sas declared the crop in shape to so two weeks yet without damage. Reports about danger of injury southwest had found the pit heavily oversold and TOT the moment left the majority of specu- lators no alternative but to cover Tn a hurry. July corn fluctuated between 7lc and 73c, with the close easy, 11sc up at 7f1sc. September showed less wildness and in the end was 7s61c net higher at 6Sb@ 6s11c. Cash grades were firm. No. 7 vel low was quoted at 72lhq7SAe
 Commission house buying of wheat im- proved in volume today in consequence of the bulge in corn and because there had been nearly continuous week or declining prices. A big decrease In the worlds available supply and the poor showing made by the French crop heiped to encourage investment. The weather however, both in the spring and winter belts acted as an offset to large ex- tent. September swung from b9sc 10 997Sc. with the clase easy, isc under last night at saBc. The total yield estimated by the government was accurately ng- ured out here in advance.
 Oats merely reflected the course or other cereals with firmness the rule early and an easier feeling afterwards. Outside Inn it's for September were SS1sc and So1tc' with last sales 1sc net lower at 3o1sd86c'
 A falling off in hos receipts at western packing points gave the provision mar ket a strong undertone. The outcome was an advance of 7hc to 121ac for pork and 21bc to 10c for bacon. Lard remained virtually without change.

New Orleans. July 9.--Cotton futures opened steady at an advance of to ii points on good cables and continued rains in the central and eastern DOT tions of the cotton belt. Both sides were buyers, offerings were slender and came principally from satisfied longs. The forecast promised more rain In the eastern half of the belt. which kept selling down. Crop accounts from Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and DOT tions of Arkansas and the Carolinas were unfavorable and made mention of damage by too much moisture. At the end of the first half hour of business prices were II to 12 points up.
 The market was very steady around the middle of the morning. Yesterdays sellers were said to have turned buy CTS and gossip also said that big in terests that were taking profits yes terday were rebuying today. Foreign news was most encouraging ana much of tho buying was based on cable mes sages stating that Manchester was do- ing a big business on both cloths and yarns.
 At the highest of the morning prices were 16 to 21 points up; at noon they were 14 to Is up.
 In the afternoon selling was heavy some of it being based on the appear ance of the second new bale of the new crop in Texas. At 2 o'clock prices were unchanged to 3 points up, com pared with the last prices of yesterday
