the bulk of the ivory nuts are consumed
in the United States. up to this time the
raw product has been shipped to Ger
many and then reshipped to the United
States. Since Germany will not he able
to receive Ecuador's crop Of ivory nuts.
and since the American manufacturers
must have the raw material. they
ought to be able to get it direct from
Ecuador.
Peru finds the market for some of its
products shut off by the war Others
will not he affected while one crop will
he benefited. Wool and cotton. which
heretofore have gone to England. cam
not now look to that market. The
United States can absorb the surplus
wool, but with it's own cotton crop un-
marketable It is not likely to absorb the
fine silk cotton Of Peru.
The copper output of the Cerro de-
lasco and other Peruvian mines has
heretofore been taken by the United
States, and will not be affected except
| incidentally by the closing of the Ham
burg market.
Sugar. which is peru's most valuable
agricultural crop. will he directly bene-
ntcd. Part of the Peruvian sugar goes
to chile, but the larger part seeks other
markets. With the beet sugar Of Eu-
rope shut off. with tie European mar
kct practically closed. with prices ad-
vancing in the United States and the
Panama Canal open, Peru Will find COM
pcnsation for other losses in the prompt
nr.s with which this country can absorb
