s14.75 gold a ton. This huge profit has
tempted some speculation in American
coal. and a number of American
schooners brought cargoes to Buenos
Aires.
The normal price of coal in Argen-
tina is about $3.50 or 50 gold per ton.
Coal at the American seaboard is
cheaper than coal at Cardiff, but the
British freight differential imposed
against American shippers has given
Cardiff coal practical monopoly in
Argentina.
For the first time an intelligent eff
fort is being made to introduce West
Virginia coal not only in Argentina,
but in Brazil as well. Heretofore our
coal-selling attempts have been at long
range. usually by correspondence. Be
cause all coal is imported at an ex-
pensive price, South American standards
have been maintained at n high point,
and the average South American has
not cared to. experiment with coal
which he could not see and test before
buying.
The British have had the advantage
of their methods, which consist in
maintaining stores of coal in the prin-
cipal South American cities and selling
it directly to the buyers. Those who
are now specializing with American
coal are bringing it down without adj
vance orders and selling 1t from the
ships.
AS result the coal is making rep
utation that may win for it perma
nent trade, despite the probability that
err than that charged for the British
product.
