Chilean Nitrate Sales

The production of nitrate Of soda in
Chile during the first three months of
1917 was l5,792,036 Spanish quintals of
101.4 pounds each, and the exports
were 13,773,434 quintals. For the cor
responding period in 1916 the produc-
tion was 16,39O,926 quintals and the
expectation 15,Os8,267 quintals, accord
ing to Thomas W. Voetter, American
Consul at Antofagasta.
"The great decrease in exports" Mr..
Voetter says, "was due to the fact that
in March of this year the arrival Of
vessels at Chilean ports to take nitrate
cargoes was very light. The shipments
of nitrate during April will likely also
be light, OH account of the strike of
stevedores and laborers at Antofagasta
and the supports Of Caleta, Colosa and
Mejillones, which was in effect from
the beginning until the middle of April
prices of nitrate have been high
during the three months, reaching as
high as los. Sd. $3.50 per quintal of
1914 pounds for the refined, or
SO per cent grade, and los. I'd. (S2.4D
for the ordinary. or 50 per cent,
nitrate. When it became evident that
the shortage of vessels would be such
as to seriously interfere with ship
ments, prices began TO recede, and have
reached about 9s. sd. 1920 for the
refined grade and 9s. Sd. (s225) for the
ordinary nitrate. At present there is
good stock of finished nitrate ready for
shipment at coast ports"

edition of April II, announces the sue
cessful results of the government auc-
ton Of nitrate lands held in Santiago
