Trade with So. America
Doubles During War

Trade of the United States with
South America in the fiscal year just
ended will aggregate nearly s8Ooooo'-
600, against less than siOO,OOo'oOO IN
any year prior to the war.
This rapid gain in the trade with
South America, according to the Ma
tional City Bank, occurs in both i'm
ports and exports, though the gain IN
imports is much more strongly marked
than in exports. Imports from South
America in 1918 (her banner pre-war
trade year) we're 100000, and in
1917 promise to be about s540,OOO,OOo,
an increase of approximately lou per
cent. Exports to that continent IN 1918
we're s146.O00. 900, and in 1917 promise
to be about 50,000000, an increase OF
approximately rs per cent.
Trade with practically all South
American companies has contributed 10
the increase. The principal articles IN
which the increase occurs IN exports
are as follows: Automobiles, coal, cot
ton cloths, agricultural implements, TIN
Mate and structural iron and steel. In
imports copper, nitrate OF soda ana
hides show remarkable increases, whlie
large gains are also noted IN catue
hides and wool.

Another Jump in
Price Of Silver
Ruling Quotation Highest
Since Big Speculative
Rise in 1892

Commercial bar silver advanced to
7s% cents an ounce in the local mar
ket yesterday, the highest price quoted
since the big silver speculation in 1872.
The present price represents an In
crease Of y a cent an ounce over last
weeks closing quotation.
In 1914, before the war broke out
silver was selling as low as as cents an
ounce. but shortly after hostilities be-
gan the price started 10 go up rapidly
as the result of heavy purchases of the
metal by the European belligerents, for
coinage purposes. OF late the United
States has also been buying large
amounts for the same purpose, the pur-
chases credited to the Treasury De-
partment in the last three months be-
ing placed at several million ounces.
The need for small coins in this
country, it is explained, has greatly in
creased as the result of greet pros
perity, and the government has been
forced to buy up a large amount OF sill
yer to meet this demand.
Furthermore, considerable silver has
been exported direct from the United
States to India lately TO pay merchants
in that country for jute, leather and
other raw materials. Ordinarily, pay
ment would have been made through
London. but the war has thrown the
exchange market so completely out OF
balance that settlements on basis OF
sterling are out of the question.

Norwegian Concern to
Aid Trade with y. 5.

renort from the United States Con-
sui at Stavanger, Norway, states that:
"Business relations between the
limited States and NORWAY will un-
doubtedly be aided by the new Norwe-
pian Gamers Export and Import Once,
called Norcanners, Ltd, the head Nor
wegian Office Of which will be located
in Stavanger. The Norwegian Can
ners' Office was formerly interested
mainly in the sale of Norwegian goods
in America. but now the capital has
been enlarged, there being paid-in
capital Of 1000, 900 crowns (S268,OOO),
and the import side is to become an
important factor. The project is not
organized to deal with war conditions,
but for the establishment of perma-
nent business relations. The manager
states that, in his opinion, America
must play a much bigger role in Nor
wegian commercial relations than 1T
did before the European war.
"Norcanners, It'd, will, of course, be
interested in the American output OF
all packing materials, as tin and to-
mato puree for use in the canned fish
industry here. Connections are also
being sought In such foodstuff lines as
-four. oleo oil. lard and dried and
canned fruit from California. Other
important American articles that it is
thought can be profitably handled are
cotton. drygoods and shoes. MORGAN
ners, Ltd, also are TO represent an
American steel export company. The
idea, however, is not only 70 take agen-
ces but to buy supplies outright. In
this way the money received for the
company's Norwegian canned goods in
America can be most proftably used
on the spot without further unneces-
sary transactions.
"The headquarters for Norcanners.
Ltd, in America will be Chicago, with
branch Offices in New York, San Fran
cisco and other places. Norwegian
headquarters wilabe located at Sitavan-
ger and connections will be established
in Christiania. Bergen and Trondhjem.
Stavenger is considered to be logically
a good distributing centre. Rent of
warehouses is ordinarily cheap, and the
port is we'll situated with respect to
the other Norwegian towns and Amer
ica. The greater part of the packing
material for the fish industry will be
consumed here, as .Stavanger is the
largest centre for this industry in Scan
dinavla"

Monday, July Q, 1917

The labor problem apparently IS
entering a new stage. Wall Street
is watching developments with not a
little concern. There is already a
shortage of labor, and the situation
certainly will not be improved when
hundreds of thousands of workers
are diverted from productive en-
plcyment to military service. This,
however, is something which is in
cvitable, and, if the draft is wisely
made, it need not result in an acute
shortage Of hands required to keep
the essential industries going at top
speed. The sudden return of labor
unrest is a different matter, espe-
cially where basic industries are af-
fected. Several important strikes
are now being conducted and others
are threatened. The one which most
concerns the financial district, how
ever, is that of the copper miners.
1t is feared that this will eventually
affect security values in several
ways. For one thing, stocks of the
companies directly concerned may
suffer serious declines if the strike
should continue for long. For an
other, the result may be shortage
of copper, which would cut down
production in other industries de-
pending on a continuous supply OF
the metal, and this in turn could
hardly fail to have a depressing ef-
feet upon general business, and in
turn upon the stock market. But
even more important, from the Wall
Street point of view, is the possibil-
ity that, faced with shortage Of
copper needed for the manufacture
Of materials, the government will
take over and operate the mines for
the period Of the war. That would
probably mean the end of distorted
profits and, incidentally, Of specula-
ton in copper shares.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Russian exchange was strong yester-
day, the fresh progress of the Russian
offensive stimulating a demand for
rubles, which rose TO % cents for
cables, compared with 22.35 cents at
the close of LAST week. Francs were
also stronger, as was the case with ex-
change on most of the Allied countries.
Prospects of decrease in the exports
of American goods to European neu-
trails as a result of the Presidents en-
barge proclamation failed TO affect ex-
changes on those countries. at least so
far as could be determined from the
market movement. In the long run, of
course, it is probable that the reduction
of shipments OF American goods TO neu-
trails is likely to have an unfavorable
result on New York exchange.
Closing rares yesterday, compared
with a week ago, are given in the table
below. American bankers have sus-
pended all dealings in German and
Austrian exchange, so that daily quo
tations for either marks or kronen are
no longer available.

Bank Retires Circulating Notes.
The National Bank Of Commerce In
New York has retired the last of its
outstanding circulating notes. This
was revealed in the weekly statement
Of the institution. On inquiry at the
bank yesterday, it was stated that the
retirement of the small amount or
notes recently outstanding, amounting
to only $155,0OO, has no significance.
At one time the Bank of Commerce had
100000 in circulating notes out
standing. That was in the le04-O6
period.
All the national banks have been
steadily reducing their circulating note
issues since the Federal Reserve Bank
ing system went into effect. Under
the terms of the new banking system,
in time all the outstanding notes of
national banks will be retired, and Fed
eral Reserve notes will be substituted.

Peoples S
Trade Ways

William c. Huntington, United States
Commercial attache at Petrograd, for
wards the following extract from let
ter of an American business man in
Russia:
"The main difficulty in business deal
ings between Russia and the United
States is the question of terms. In
most cases the American manufacturer
insists on cash in New York as soon as
the goods are sent there. The Russian
buyer, on the other hand, if he is re-
liable, is willing to guarantee the pay
ment in every way and generally
through banks, but only part in Ameri-
can port, the other part in Russian port.
An American agent in Russia had an
opportunity to place an order from a
local cooperate society for 10000 pairs
of shoes, payable one-third with order,
the other two-thirds upon arrival in
Russian port. The latter payment was
guaranteed by a local bank. He was
unable to accept this order because the
manufacturer insists on payment in full
in New York, although, as q matter of
fact. he could get a price that would
easily make up the interest on deferred
payment. Such instances result in a
comparison between American and Ger
man methods that will make the Rus
SLAMS more willing to revert to old trade
channels after the war unless more
Americans are ready to offer the same
service as the Germans. The American
manufacturer need not grant credit
without proper guarantee, but the Rus
sian market can not be held permanent
ly without the granting of credit-at
least to the extent of part payment in
Russian port.
"The Russian merchant is used to a
definite quotation good for certain
period. 1t is not considered serious
business to quote to-day and then upon
New-York tribune., 1917-07-10

1t is argued by some that strikes
at this time are unpatriotic, and
there is much TO be said in support
of this view. The fact remains,
however, that employers must be
willing to meet the workers at least
half way and to take cognizance Of
the decreased purchasing power Of
wages. Otherwise labor troubles may
spread. No doubt patriotism will
prevent some disputes, but there is
10 reason to suppose our experience
in that respect will differ from the
experience of other countries. Ap-
peals to patriotism have not served
to prevent serious outbreaks of in
dustrial warfare in England and on
the Continent.
