AT AFRICA.

At africa, with its Moro. or gigantic
snout Of land. projecting out into the Pa
ciic, and its little cupful OF green valley,
there is not much need OF harbor inn
provements. The Gillian government,
however, is improving the shipping facil-
ties. The freight coming down over the
Arica-La Paz line is not yet heavy, nor Is
the merchandise going into Bolivia inland
over this route, but the spur from the
main line on the Bolivian tableland TO the
Corocoro copper region has been com
pleted, and a considerable quantity of
minerals is expected 10 flow down this
way, not only copper ore but tin concen-

was in relation TO the passengers.

predominance in the West Coast com
merce. It is possible, however, to make
some comparisons with previous trips ten
and five years ago.
There were as many Germans five years
back as now. About the same proportion
of French and Italian commercial traV-
ellers is met with as would have been
encountered at any time during the last
ten years. For every American met with
ten years ago three are met to-day and
twice as many as five years ago.

THE NITRATE INDUSTRY.

The present status OF the nitrate indus

A report from Egypt that the English

succeeded in demonstrating that nitrate

a substitute for nitrate OF soda as fer

prehension. Some years ago the report

fears, but these were soon dissipated.
