A SCARCE

The interdependence of the nations of the earth one
upon another is receiving illustration in the conditions
confronting the countries of South America in conse-
quence of the war. South America is suffering from a
coal shortage. She had been getting her coal from Eng
land. Ocean freights were low, as the ships going out
after hides, copper, phosphates and meats could carry
cargoes of coal on the outward trips and >taSe~back sew
eral products on the home run. But England is not able
to supply Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil and the smaller
states with coal at this time. The immense demands upon
her coal output by the navy and munitions factories keep
England pressed to the limit, and she has been constantly
doing all that possibly might be done to increase the
supply. 1t would be suicide for England to export coal
now.
Freight rates between the United States and South
America have risen to a point that makes coal from this
country almost %prohibitive in price at Buenos Ayres-
the cost is $2S. 50 a ton. The railroads are burning wood,
but in the great grazing districts wood is scarce. For
domestic purposes scarcely any is needed to heat the
houses, and all sorts of subterfuges are adopted for cook
ing, the fireless cooker being in almost universal use. For
power the cost of coal is SO high that readjustments in
prices have taken place in many instances and there IS a
constant tendency to advance the cost of transportation,
both in passenger and freight rates.
