The greater value OF exports in 1913
was largely due to the high price of
tin.

consumer of Bolivian products in 1915.

the United States, followed by Argen-
tina. France. Chile. Italy, Peru. Ger

HAVANA, June 25.-With the APP
proach of the close of the sugar-grind-
Ing season, and the release from EN-
ployment of many thousands of work.
crs. interest in the presidential cam
pagn is beginning to command atten-
ton. By tacit understa nding between
the leaders of the various factions, po-
litical activities during the grinding
season were confined mainly to COM
mittee and conference work for the
purpose of consolidating the two great
national parties. the conservatives. fol-
lowing President Menocal. and the lib
erals, whose nominee is former Vice
President Alfredo Zayas.
So far neither of the parties appears
to be organized. there being insurgent
elements in both camps. in addition to
numerous groups of independents who
are awaiting opportunities to make the
best terms possible for their support
of either side. Important among these
is the following of former Gov. Asbert
of Havana province. whose ambition Is
to be governor again.
ton Of President Menocal comprises
the great bulk of the conservative
party, backed by the power of the ad :
ministration, but in Santa Clara and
Oriente provinces there are insurgent
groups who profess to object on princi-
pie to a second term. 1t Is probable.
however. that their adhesion will be
gained
The liberals continue greatly disor-
ganized. but strong efforts are being
made by former President Jose Miguel
Gomez, Juan Gualberto Gomez. Orestes

consolidate all the factions in support

TOBACCO PRICES HIGH.
Porto Rican Crop Will Fall Far
Short of Estimates.

According to official estimates the
Porto Rican tobacco crop will fall far
short of the estimate made during the
growing season. and as a consequence
the highest tobacco prices in ten years
are now prevailing. The present crop
will amount to approximately 12.000,oo0
pounds instead of 100000 or 5000. 600,
as previously expected.
Prices for sun-grown tobacco range
about 80 cents a pound, as compared with
90 cents last year, and about Is cents for
the crop of two years ago. AS a result OF
present prices tobacco men estimate that
this years crop will bring between $1,000
900 and s4000.000 more than last year.
The United States purchased in 1915
I. 900, 600 pounds of Porto Rican leaf to-
hacco, valued at s.. 900. 900. and 10000. 900
cigars, valued at 100000.

Industrial Progress Assured.

For the purpose of illustration it is
not necessary to enter into figures or
details regarding war conditions. Suf-
flee it to say that Notwithstanding the
trying situation in which we were
placed in the earlier stages of the war,
our exports during the current year
largely exceed any previous record for
la corresponding period. while, with the
world demand for our staple products
(wheat. beef, hides. wool. etc) and the
constant increase in the areas placed
under cultivation, our Industrial prog
reSs is assured
But other and more important ele-
ments justify confidence in the Argen-
tine Republic. They are the stable
character of our government and
fiscal policy which places our national
currency on what, for all practical pur-
poses, is a gold standard.
The presidential election, which took
place on June IL. and resulted in the
designation of Senior Irygoyer. the
leader of the radical party, has been
received with satisfaction, and the new
which will take Office in
October, commands general confidence.
Though it is radical in name. the party
is composed of some of the soundest
and most conservative elements in the
republic, and there is not the slightest
danger of violent tariff or other reac-
tionary legislation, which has been
predicted. Politically the republic was
never sounder, revolutions and serious
uprisings being trely things of the
past.
The monetary system of the Argen-
tine Republic mas been SO frequently
and fully described in this country that
will confine my observations on that
point to a brief statement of the ac-
tual facts, in order to show our financial
strength and the solidity of our cur
rency.

Buenos Aires Banker Sums Up
His Views After Visit to

America, He Says.

Carlos A. Tornquist, banker of

in the United States for the past three
months. summed up an interview
before his departure as views to the
effect that Americans who desire the
trade of South America must make a
point Of understanding South American

that 80 per cent of the population of
Argentina can read-a higher percent
age than in most European countries.
Mr.. Tornquist is a member of the
firm of Ernesto Tornquist G. Co, Ltd,
the largest banking house of Argen-

ne points out that many large enter
prises are in process of organization in
Argentina and in the construction of

been discovered in the Rivadavia dis

declares that it is essential to repre-

Americans be personally represented in
Argentina, that they know the country,
and that they know the language

 NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-( Wall Street, Slowly but stubbornly, today's mark ct recovered much of ground lost in the preceding session.
 Absence of pressure upon Anglo French bonds, which helped materially to weaken yesterdays market, was an other favorable factor. Trading in that issue was comparatively nominal.
 Yet another encouraging feature was found in tn moderate, but confidential buying of rails.
 Next to rails there was steady in uiry for metals at advances of q point or better. American Smelling, for ex- ample, more than regained it's quarter ly dividend of 1 per cent. War issues, Petroleums, Marine preferred, United Fruit and Sugas were better by l to 3 points, after an early period of de- presSion.
 American Wool was the most active stock, it's strength of lA per cent out of greatly increased earnings, result ing mainly from profitable war con- tracts.
 Trading was in small volume throughout the last half of the session. but prices held their own, despite oc- casional pressure. Activity in Pacific Mail, which rose , 12 points to 23l:. was the feature of that period.
 Total sales of stocks amounted to 355, 900 shares.
