BRAZILIAN CONCERN
HARD HIT BY WAR
Its Subvention Tied Up,
$32,5OO,OOO Corporation
Goes to Receiver.

A hint of the extent to which the
European war has prostrated business
in South American countries Is con-
tained in the appointment by Judge
Mayer, in the Federal court, yesterday,
of receivers for the Port of Para Com
pany, a Maine corporation, with q cap
ital of s32,6OO, 900, and an annual sub
yention of s25O,OO0 from tho Brazilian
government.
This appointment was made in an
swer to an equity suit brought By
George B. Heath, Of 2e7 West l8sth
Street, as holder OF coupons on de-
faulted bonds to the amount Of s9,le4.
Alexander Mackenzie. OF Rio de
Janeiro, and Frederick L. Eldridge, of
this city, the receivers, filed bonds of
$4,000.
The Port Of Para Company, accord
ing to the complaint. has Offices in
Portland, Me-; 25 Broad Street, this
city, and il other cities and countries.
Ii possesses franchises and concessions
from Brazil of docks, wharves, ware
houses and port improvements at Para,
and owns all the capital stock and all
the outstanding second mortgage de-
bentures of the Amazon River Steam
Navigation Company, Ltd, an English
corporation, running number Of
boats on the Amazon River, at the
mouth of which Para is situated.
In addition, the defendant concern
owns half of the capital stock of the
Madeira -Mamore Railway Company,
Maine corporation, which operates
line of railroad in the Amazon River
valley, and through stock ownership
controls various other franchises,
rights, privileges, assets, including ac-
counts receivable, notes and other
property in Brazil. It has an author
lied capital stock of sl7,500,000 pre-
ferred and S15000,000 common. OF the
preferred stock $l0,500,00O and Of the
common sl3,000,000 have been issued
and are outstanding.
Heath says in his complaint that he
does not know the exact amount of the
company's Indebtedness, but that il in
cludes semi-annual interest on two
series Of gold bonds due the first Of this
month; a sum of $3,75O,0O0 due the
Brazil Railway Company the first of
last February, and floating indebted
ness of s2,500,0O0, most of which is
past due and but partially secured.
The Republic Of Brazil, Heath SAYS,
owes the corporation large sums,
which, on account of the war, it has
been unable 10 pay. As the company
mortgaged and pledged its right TO
payments from the Brazilian govern
ment, thus bringing about a foreclos-
ure action in the English courts, and
as other creditors, Heath said. were
about 70 bring suits, he asked for the
appointment of the receivers on the
ground that the English suit, if prose-
cuted, would result in the sale OF one
of the two fleets of the Amazon Steam
Navigation Company TO a competitor
and so divert trade from the port Of
Para, and possibly cause the nayiga-
tion company to lose its Brazilian sub
yention.

War Orders and Bullishness.

News came firm Canada yesterday
that one supply company there, deal
ing with the Allies, had let contracts
with United States firms for $4,000
900 rounds of ammunition, and had
contracts pending for 5OO,OOO,OOO more.
From the point of view Of the stock
market bulls the item must have served
a double purpose. 1t called attention
again to the enormous amount OF war
business that is being done IN TINS
country, building up new purchasing
power among the people, and 1t tended
to confirm the reports from Europe
that the war, so far as the Allies are
concerned, is only just beginning, and
is, therefore, possibly nearer an end
than is generally imagined. Peace talk
is popular in the Street notwithstaha- !.
ing the big war orders that are being
lodged here, and predictions, with
much less TO be said for them than
this are always given 4 ready ear.

Active BOND Market.

without having any notable effect

market on the Stock Exchange yester-
dav was one of the most active since

January rise evoked hopes OF happy

Europe, but no avalanche. Instead OF
bonds going up first, with standara

Trouble for the Farmers.

How much twine for binding up
crops 10000 bales Of sisal hemp will
make only the cordage men know, but
it would seem as though it must run
up well into the millions of yards. Only
a few days ago there was almost row
with General Carranza because it was
feared that he would not permit the
sisal harvest of Yucatan to come TO
this country, and it was announced in
Washington that an American warship
was to be sent to Mexico to bring from
there 10000 bales of the hemp. But
Yesterday it was reported that Admiral
Caperton had told Washington Of a
fire that consumed 10000 bales, and
the news passed almost unremarked in

Brake on Gold Exports.

Canada has secured permission from
the British government to float loan
of S25,000000 in London Immediately.
In the financial district here there was
a good deal of curiosity yesterday over
the cause Of the British Treasury's let
ting down the bars against foreign
loan Hotations In this case. One Of tho
interesting theories advanced was that
the Treasury hoped In this way to take
up some Of the surplus funds that are
making lending rates so low in London
and so put the brakes on the gold
export movement.
