Washington, Dec. 2.-That one voar

OOO,OOO to the foreign commerce of
the United States is the estimate of
Edward f. Pratt, chief of the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce.
Mr.. Pratt has just completed a study
of the reports Of American cOnsuls

country and Of the new orders for
American manufactures and products

If the ratio Of increase recorded
since August. when the war began

estimates new orders placed on the
books of American firms will total
half a billion dollars.
AS specific data upon which to base
his estimates, Mr.. Pratt has the re-
port of j. Massel. special commercial
agent, now en- route to South Amer
lea to study the machine tool market
there and prepare view Of South
American needs for use Of American
manufactures. In preparation for his
trip he visited virtually every large
