NEW ORLEANS CoTTON.

New Orleans, Aug. 8.-A rather
easy feeling developed in the cotton
market around the opening today as
the result of selling based on privae
reports of rain in Texas. Liverpool
was lower than due and less rain was
reported in the eastern belt. In the
first half hour Of business prices loss
to 9 points.
Selling continued until the market
was at net decline Of IL to Is points,
when heavy buying sprang up and
the market bulged in a sensational
manner to the extent of q to 30
points on the trading months. This
put prices Is to III points over yes
terday's close to new high levels for
the present bull movement, and to the
/ highest levels in three years.
The prediction Of 20 cent cotton by
a prominent bull trader sent the mar
ket into furry Of buying in the aft
! ernoon, and in the trading up to 1:3C
/ prices were lifted to level AZ to As
! points up from the lowest and 80 to

quotations were advanced Is points

New York, Aug. S.-The cotton
market was more or less unsettled
early today. Liverpool did not quite
meet the advance Of yesterday aft
ernoon, while there was a good deal
of scattered realizing and after open
ing steady at an advance of 1 point to
a decline Of z points, prices showed a
tendency to ease off. Rather more
favorable crop accounts following the
rains reported in the southwest yes
terday probably encouraged reaction
airy views, and December contracts
worked off from 14.43 to 14.34 during
the early trading, while January sold
down from 1851 to 14.41, or 7 to o
points net lower. Business here was
much less active than yesterday, and
a private cable received from Liver
pool said business was also tapering
off in the English market.
After selling off to 1880 for Decem-
Der and 1899 for January under the
early realizing movement, or about 10
to 13 points under last nights closing
figures, the market developed renewed
strength later in the morning on re-
vival of bull support and covering,
Prices made new high records before
midday, with December selling up to
1851 and January 1859, or 10 to
20 points net higher and about 80
points above the early low level.
There seemed to be nothing fresh in
the news to inspire the renewal of
support, but offerings had been read
lily absorbed on the early setback and
there were rumors of bullish crop adj
vices from North Texas.
Cotton closed steady:

ACROSS THE ANDES
ON RAILROAD train
Trip Will Be Made Possible by
Chile Engineers

Valparaiso, Chile, Dec. 29-The
again seriously taken under consider
alton the proposition of constructing
the Chilean end of a new Trans-An-
dine railway the Associated Press
ports say will be built at the earliest
possible moment, will connect the
Argentine port of Bahia Blanca with
Lebu and will cross the Andes in the
foreign regions of Lonquimay. The
Argentine end of the new trans-con-
t1nental has been completed to with
IN thirty kilometers of the Chilean
frontier where work was halted to
await a like development on the west
ern slope of the Andes
That Chile has not as yet built her
section is due to a difference Of opin-
Ion among government engineers as
to the most available route Two
counter projects have been urged in
the Chamber of Deputies. These call
for lines across the mountains of
central and northern Chile. but the
exhaustive report of Senior Domingo
Duran, government expert, which has
just been submitted, seems to have
settled the matter in favor of the
southern pass. The bleak nature of
the Andes in the northern and CEN
trail parts, with the liability of avail
anches which might block the line
for months, has apparently deter
mined the government to commence
work in the south where the forests
of the high plateaus will hold the
sliding SHOWS.
At present semi-weekly trains are
running regularly between Buenos
Aires and Valparaiso over the exist
ing trans-Andine road which crosses
the great plateau through the Uspal-
lata Pass. 10000 feet above the level
of the sea. The twice-a-week service,
which was maintained between the
great war, was discontinued until a
fortnight ago, when it was resumed
because traffic across the Panama
Canal has created a profitable pas
senger service for the South Ameri-
can trans-continenta1. Many Ameri-
cans are now experiencing the thrill
of crossing the highest mountain
range in the world. and Of seeing
from car windows those majestic
peaks, the close views of which has
heretofore been reserved for exper-
fenced and adventurous mountain
climbers.
The boundary line between the Ar
gent1ne and Chile consists of 1000
miles of Andean peaks most Of which
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1916-12-29

are over $1,000 feet high and some
which rise to $4,000 feet. This mas
sive barrier can be crossed in but a
few places even by men on foot. and
the building of the new trans-con-
tinental will be a notable engineering
feat 1t is expected that by the time
it has bees completed the war in Eu-
rope will have terminated and suffi-
cient traffic for both lines will be
available.
At present the crossing from ocean
to ocean, Buenos Aires to Valparaiso,
consumes only 80, hours less time
than on any other trans continental
line if the isthmian roads at Tehaun-
tepec and Panama be excepted. At
$50 in morning train leaves Buenos
Aires. Reaching the mountains a
change in a narrow guage cog-wheel
road is made. When the summit is
gained the train is putting $4,000 feet
above. the level of the sea and the
international tunnel, nearly three
miles in length, is entered. Ten min
utes of darkness ensues and the train
bursts out into the binding light Of
the high plateau which is Csile. The
descent is made more rapidly, still
by cogwheel road.
