tions has been obtained by the Gorham

serial notes. The notes will mature
semi annually in blocks Of $250,O00, be-
ginning February / next year They

ment amounting to $S,50O.00O and a
sub-contract of $1,0O0,000, which, ac-
cording to officials, means a large in

Amsterdam Loses
Heavily on Export
Trade i'm Tobacco
Shipments From Dutch East
Indies to u. S. Are Made
Direct

Lack of shipping facilities between
Holland and its colonies has so changed
the Dutch tobacco trade that most Of
the imports by the United States III
1917 were direct from the East Indies
instead of by way Of Amsterdam.
Frank w Mahin American Consul. be-
licves it possible that this trade may
never return to Amsterdam unless the
fact that tobacco does not keep well
after harvesting in the Dutch East
Indies, owing to the unfavorable eli
mate. should be more potent than the
cost Of the longer transport by way of
Amsterdam, where the climate is ia
vorable for keeping tobacco-onc OF the
alleged reasons why Amsterdam be-
came the market for Dutch East Indian
tobacco.
The total declared value of the ex-
ports from the Amsterdam consular
district to the United States during
1917 was $20,3S3.113. This is one OF
the smallest totals in many years and
is but little more than half the total
of 1916.
In the following table the exports for
siN years, of which the first two were
normal peace years, are compared.

Porphyry Copper
Properties Report
Smaller Income
Chino Company in 1917
Earned Less Than SIP
a Share

Reports of tho Chino Copper Com
pany and the Ray Consolidated Cop
per Company, two of the important
porphyry producing properties, issued
yesterday for the final quarter Of 1917
showed heavy decreases in earnings,
compared with the corresponding
period Of 1916.
In the case Of the Chino net profits
were $2,2S2, 81. equal to $2.62 a share
on the stock, compared with S391 Il
share earned on the stock in the cor
responding quarter of 1916 Earnings
Of the Chino for the complete year, AS
indicated in the quarterly statements.
aggregated l0,l37 0oG, equal to S1l .65
a share, against $12,S43 ,22223 net in 1916,
equal to Sll.76 share.
Ihg Kay Consolidated reported for
inc December quarter net profits of
S2,57o,S72. the equivalent Of 81. .63 a
share ON the stock, compared with
So d share canned in the correspond
ing quarter Of 1916. According to the
company's quarterly reports covering
l9l' operations, net profits for the
year totalled $l0,414,350, equal to So so
a share, against S7.S2 q share in 1916.

The average cost per pound Of all
net COPPER produced by the Raw Con-
soIldated during thc December quar-
ter OF l9l was 1886 cents. This com
pared with cost of 12.579 cents in
the preceding quarter.
1t cost the Chino Company 1865
cents net for the copper produced in
the last quarter of 1917, against 121I
cents in the third quarter. The re-
port states that the increase in cost
vas manly due to the decreased mum
Ier OF gross pounds of copper pro
to the end Of the year. This comnan,. ou
produced altogether a total Of 30 %
zoo''lo pounds of copper in the Quar-
ter compared with 21,SS7,39O pounds
IN the preceding quarter.

Liberty Bonds Up
On Expectation of
Increased Rate
Recovery in Second" as
Equal to $11 on $1,000
Bond

Liberty Loan "second' 4 per cent
bonds advanced on the announcement
of Secretary McAdoo that the interest
rate on the remaining $1,000, 900 900
Treasury certificates Of indebtedness
to be issued in anticipation Of the next
war loan would be raised to Az per
cent At the nigh price Of the day
97.20-a recovery Of IL points, or SIT
per 81 900 bond, was shown. The clos
ing quotation was $3.50. The deal
ings were heavier than for several
days, the total turnover amounting to
$3,446,000. Liberty "tirst is" sold
as high as $3.50. The 3l.s moved up
slightly. The recovery was based on
the general belief that the higher rate
which the forthcoming issues Of Treas
ury certificates will carry presages Il
4 Y per cent rate for the next Offering
Of Liberty bonds, into which the issues
now outstanding may be co9vcrtcd.
This Interpretation OF the Treasury
Departments announcement caused lit
tie surprise in banking and investment
circles, as leading members of the
local Liberty Loan Committee have
openly advocated higher rate for
some time. The question Of most in-
tercst now is whether the next loan
will run only for five years or for u
longer period.
Bankers here pointed out that country
banks which have been dilatoly in sub
scribing to the Treasury certificates
that have been offered to date would
benefit most from the higher rate. New
York banks have subscribed for more
than their share OF the 4 per cont

Uruguay Offers
$50,000,000 Buying
Credit to Allies
South American Country Is
Anxious to Market Sur
rlus Products

Adyiccs received here FROM Monte
video arc to the effect that ncgotia-
tions have been initiated by the Min
lister Of Finance of Uruguay for the
establishment of an Allied buying
credit Of $50.O00,000 in that market,
similar to that recently arranged for
$500 100000 in Argentina for the ac-
count of Great Britain and France.
According TO the latest issue of the
"Americas,' Uruguay has made the
offer in the interest of marketing her
accumuating agricultural and other
products.
so far no definite progres has been
made with the credit plan owing to
the fact that the Allied governments
refused to commit themselves to an
agreement in which it would be stipu-
lated that gold would be transferred to
Uruguay at any definite time, even
after the war. This is considered sig
nticant, as it would seem to Indicate
that the Allies have refused TO make
any definite promises about gold eX
portations at any time.
Under the details of the plan rs pro-
posed by the Uruguayan Finance Min
istcr, the British government was to
deposit $50.000,00O of certain bond
issues of Uruguay, which arc now held
abroad, with some approved represen-
tatve Of Uruguay. and the Uruguayan
Bank of the Republic was to issue the
notes with which to pay locally for
produce purchased.
