and other foreign products in the mar
kets Of Brazil, Argentina and the other
important South American republics
The question is now being raised
whether American exporters will be

Recent comment on this point pub

shows American exporters what they
should do in general way to hold
their South American markets.
"lf the American exporters will
adapt themselves to our commercial
habits before peace is restored" says
this authority, "they will be able to
settle themselves firmly in our mar
ket, and with such condition we can
not but be satisfied, since it will be

"A. II. Diaz, the Cuban copper king

the Durland sales Of the Madden year

named just Fancy, by Colin. and offered
for the benefit of the Red Cross. After
sort of one-sided contest, in which
the Cuban raised himself several times,
the tilly finally was knocked down to
him for the handsome sum of S7,500
and had the local sporting and horscy
fraternity shown the least sight Of
pluck the yearling might have fetched
$4,000 just as easily, for Diaz showed
the real sporting blood and was bent
upon buying at any price.
Had the Cuban wanted to play safe
ne could have had the future racer for
about $4,000, but he was fit to tackle
anybody and at any figure.

aesslan out of Motley for the sum Of

opposition ceased Diaz came into the
ring to lead out his purchase. He re-

Heavy Withdrawal of
Government Deposits
Balances Reduced $3.50, ,OOO,O 600
to Meet Maturing
Certificates

Approximately 80 per cent of the
United States Treasury deposits carried
with the local banks were withdrawn
yesterday by the government in order
to meet the portion of the maturing
$543,032,50o Of Az per cent Treasury
certificates of indebtedness carried by
local banks. AS the local banks re-
ported government deposits Of $321,-
100000 on Saturday last it was esti-
mated that the Withdrawals aggregated
approximately $250,000,000.
The drawing down of the government
deposits and the payment of the GER
tificate maturity were accomplished
without causing a ripple on the sur
face of the money market. This was
due to the fact that the operation was
largely matter of bookkeeping, the
government withdrawing its funds on
deposit and then returning them to the
banks in payment for the certificates
which came due.
with the payment Of yesterdays ma
turity there now remains approx
mately $1,000, 100000 of the Treasury
certificates of indebtedness outstanding,
or about the equivalent Of the unpaid
subscriptions on the Third Liberty
Loan account.

London's Financial Leader
ship, Banker Saws

WASHINGTON, June 18. - Regula-
tion by the United States of par
chases made by the Allies in neutral
countries was advocated by G. M. Le-
blanc, manager of the Equitable Trust
Company's foreign department at the
Senate Banking Committee hearing to-
day on bill to establish an American
Federal Reserve Foreign Exchange
Bank.
American control Of non-essential
purchases by England md France is
necessary, Mr.. Leblanc said, because
loans made by the United States to
the Allied countries have the effect
Of returning to London the leadership
in foreign exchange. Some purchases
for the Allied countries made in neu-
trail countries are sold in the Allied
countries at 500 per cent profit, he
told the committee, pointing oue that
American money absorbs the price paid
in the Allied country.
v. Gonzales, New York importer,
favored the bill, saying it would cover
a financial field in which American
banks are not active.
