There should be big increase in our exports to Uruguay. This is especially so as to coal lumber and agricultural machinery Uruguay annually buys S2,- 000,O coo or S3O00.09o worth of coal, and four ffths of this has been coming from Car diff in Wales The prices for anthracite run as high as si3 or s14 ton and the import duty on all coal is based upon a valuation of $i6 a ton. There are op. portunties to ret coal contracts for sup plying the government, the railway com panies and the various factories, and also for the coal needed by the public utility companies and that used by the city
 As to motor vehicles, the government is planning a new system of public roads, and the automobile is steadily growing
 in favor. The .,ws of Montevideo, how ever. require that every motor ear must he tried on the road by an official in- spector before it is turned over 10 the owner and that only such cars as have the necessary safety appliances can be licensed All motor machines, and in fact all kinds of goods, should correspond exactly to the si ccifcations of the order. Complaints are made that the American goods are often not up to the samples. One firm mentions having recently or- dered a two1wheeled trap and receiving instead q four-wheeled surrey. Upon complaint being made the American ex- porter replied that there was no ground for trouble as ,he vehicle sent was ot a higher price than that which was or dercd. Nevertheless, the Uruguay flynn refused to take the surrey.
 There are good openings here for American furniture. Uruguay has fine homes and the better houses of Mon tcviedo are well furnished as those of any city of similar size in the Uni ted States. Fine wall papers are in demand. hardwood floors can be sold, and that in fine patterns Fancy tiles cf the household furniture is German. 1t Is massive. expensive and ugly; and, just now, the supply is shut out by the war. American office furniture Is sold, and so are American. pianos. American hardware, machine tools and agricul- tural implements are popular and are crowding out English and German made wares of similar nature. The same is true of windmills dairy imple- ments and washing machines. see that most of the stores have display cases, and am told that store furniture can be sold These people understand the art of window dressing, but one should know just what they want and

Crate Britain would simply say' Alright if you don't want our trade-if you won't trade with us-then you cannot trade with France, with 1tally, with Russia with enny one else; not that we air going to declare on you or in enny interfere with you, but if we cant get your trade then the 5000 merchant vessels carrying your trade 97 persent of it, to Urope and South America will be withdrawn frum that trade and you will be as helpless as one-egged man at tango party"
 You see the sword enthewsiastick trends want us to has two edges to it. and the sharpest side is turned in our drectson. If we got peeved and withdrew our approval for munisons, they mite get peeved and withdraw theere ships It is no pertic- uler credit to grate statesmen but the which stands up promminintly like soar thumb in this country is, that if Crate Britain, who now controls the sees, was to slip the to by withdrawing frum trade her merchint ships the prise of cot tun, insteed of being ' to sents per pound would be rum to sents Moreover all uther lines of in- dustry would languish like thin and ugly old maid at debutantees ball.

study the market So far the balance has been great against us We have bought large proportion of the wool and hides that Uruguay sells, and of late we have added to this our impor- tation of beef Our exports to Uru- quay have been small. although they are constantly increa sing As it is now We furnish about one-tcnth of the im- ports This Is not half as much as comes in from the British, who have the lead In both investments and trade They have large importing houses They own the chief coal supply yards and a large department store. Tho Germans have established branches of the chief business houses of Hamburg and Bremen. Up to the time of the war the German steamship lines were among the most popular that called at Monteviedo. and they had large share of the carrying trade
 As to the French, they had the chief business in wines and liquors They sold most of the fancy drygoods and millinery and had practically the mo- nopoly of the trade in women's ap- pdrel
 There are a number of American firms
 In Montevideo and some of them have been established for years The chief companies handle various kinds of Amer ican machinery. They sell our cash reg isters, our best known typewrters and adding jnacnines, and a great deal of cleo trical machinery. The Singer Sewing Machine company has it's headquarters in Monevideo. and stores and offices in all the towns of the country. It has schools where 1t gives free instruction in the art of running the sewing ma chine. The Central Leather company has an office in Uruguay through which it buys hundreds Of thousands of hides every year. and the Holmes X HerrcS Lumber company and the Brenner Lum- Der company do large business in Amer lean yellow pine and hardwood. The FrigerIfico Montevideo. which belongs to Americans, has capital of $2,0O00oo, and it has erected 15 buildings for it's cooling, freezing and packing departments. The West India oil company, operating under New Jersey charter, does large busi- ness in the Importation of kerosene and gasoline, and there are other firms that handle our motor cars, and especially certain cheap cnes that are everywhere known.
 The Uruguay Weekly News, In recent issue, estimates the American interests here outside the railways as having ,,n aggregate capita; of s20,00O,ooo. This is comparatively little in contrast with that of some ether countries

"k?) here is developed almost abnorm- ally.
 Talking to a party who lives here. but who was born and lived the earlier part of his life elsewhere, I learned that Boston is intensely proud of the fact that she Is known as the city of cul- ture. According to this gentleman's view Boston will not wait for tile statement to be. made, but will admit that she is such even before the new acquaintance has mentioned it.
 Even the architectural art displayed here is dignlfied and free from anything fiossy. The splendid churches, museums and various public buildings are unques- tionably magnificent and do their share in creating the atmosphere of culture and refinement that really do charac- terize this city.
 And music Nothing but the best goes. That is. 1t goes under that name and one sometimes wonders how many innocents are daily spending fathers ilard earned gold in the struggle to acquire voice or musical ability which will never be theirs. but which, &C., cording to the teacher, they will sure iy have within their grasp shortly

 The Hotel Plaza was offered as sug- gestion and we discovered there raths- kcllar that at first glance looked like regular place. We had been seated at a table just long enough to order some broiled live, when a sad-eyed Bostonienne began singing something from Martha" in plaintive tones which were no doubt acquired at great financial outlay.
 The applause following this rendition was perfunctory and yet sufficient. and the next Cabaret number" consisted of snother fair lass celloing the Flower Song. Several of the party began to look uneasy-meaning the New York party. of course-and one soon thereafter suggested that we beat it' before they played q funeral march as a prelude 40 "Homc, Sweet Home." ghs
 One or two other stops developed noti- ing particularly resembling what Broad- way has to offer, and the little sightseeing expedition came to something akin to a sad end long before the clocks chimed-- Boston clocks chime because 1t is more cultured than to strike-laborers do that eleven .

gate around with any degree of satisfac- ton. For instance. in New York city a cafe is place with a sort of third rail which is just as deadly as the third rail on the "L.' or subway, provided one keeps his foot on 1t long enough. Here, however. a cafe is an entirely different sort of place, and if one is looking for the other thing what he wants is an establishment with a sign announcing Tap" Bar" or Wine Room" There is no such thing as Saloon in either New York or Boston, But what could one expect here. where two of the more popular streets in the business section are named Milk and Water"
 Looking at Boston Common yesterday afternoon l made some remark about 1t to by-stander and received a curt re- ply. l thought at first that I had said the wrong thing, but upon careful oon- sideration T reached the conclusion that the gentleman had not cared to use the word "common'-it doesn't seem to go well here. Yet the Common is very attractive spot.
 This week we have had q governors convention and military parade, each of which was conducted along the most dignified Hines imaginable. In fact. one soon gets to the point where he shesitates to do anything that lacks dignity while in boston. It is not at all the proper thing to talk about New.

how goods are sold For instance. if you want to buy a neclttie or a suit of underclothes you may do so in q barber shop. The shaving establish ment is confined to the back. the front being a store devoted to mems fur nishing goods and especially to dress shirts, collars and ties.
 The business of our steel companies Is increasing. More and more steel work is required in large buildings and the various public works under way are using structural steel. The new raiI- ways need all kinds of equipment. The whole country Is being gradually fenced and there Is big demand for barbed and woven wire. The houses and shaclSs of the interior are roofeh with galvanized iron. American ma ohinery of all kinds is in demand
 American shoes can be sold here The people want footgear of high grade only, and they will pay the price. The American mems shoe is advancing in favor and those for misses and child ren are largely sold. In Monteviedo an ordinary mans s3 shoes sell for s6 or S,. and our fancy lines run to s1o and
  upward. This Is so notwithstanding that the native factories. equipped with our shoenakins machinery. makes shoes which retail for much less.
 X large part of our trade with Uru- quay is in tho hides and skins of which our leather Is made. The exports of these articles amount to $30.000 GOO and upward per annum of which fully one third goes to the United States Wa get from Uruguay oXslSlns, cowslSins and horsehdes. The hides are prepared largely at the saladeros or jerckd beef factories. and they are shipped in great bales all over the world
 In addition the country has an ex- tensive tanning business. There are 32 tanning establishments in Monte- viedo alone, with an output of some- thing like a thousand sides of sole leather a day. The chief tanning ma teral Is quebracho wood. which Is brought down from Paraguay although tanning extracts of oak and chestnut are imported from Italy
 Uruguay Is also importing tanned leather. 1t gets patent calf from Bel slum and Germany. kidskins for gloves from France, and patent cotskins from France and the United States. We sell 1t 70 per cent of all it's patent sheepskins and goatskins and also glazed kid and various kinds of leath- CTS for fancy shoes.

All the rest of the nasions will be so loaded with debts and crippes that the United States will look unto them like grate lussious lennon reddy for the picking and they air abu to do it unless we can back up our finansia supremacy with line of nasional defense that win make enny one or two of them and ponder before they tackle it. One thing must remember and one thing the members of Congress who air standing on theere left eyebrows and throwing fit evvery time they menson Crate Britain and cottun ought to remember is that until Congress does sumthing to remmedy our helplessness upon the oceans in the way of handling our own goods Crate Britain is in posision to do us 10 times the harm do her in a commersial fite suci as Is thoughtlessy suggested when they ask that in retaason for her holdup of our cottun, munisions be cut off rum her and her allies.
