made necessary by the United States
becoming debtor nation of the other
Pan-American republics.
Big South American Trade
The increasing flow of gold to South
America was one of the most striking
features Of world trade in the last
twelve months. Products of the Latin
American countries-meat, grain, rub
Der, hardwood, nitrates, tin, plati-
num-have pcen sought in large guam
titles by the Allies, which have had
less and less goods to ship in return
as the war progressed. The result has
been that the Latin American coun-
tries have been paid in gold which
they hardly have been able to spend.
Imports Of South American goods by
the United States alone in the last
twelve months have totalled nearly
$6O0,000,000, while exports to the same
continent have been only about half as
much. The United States also is a
debtor to Asia, Oceania and Africa
despite the growth in sales to coun-
tries of those continents.
Europe and North America, includ-
ing Canada, through which is shipped
much of the exports going tt Great
Britain, continue to look to this coun-
try as their source Of supply.

porated
That the prospectus issued by the
company represented that hundreds
Of thousands of orders for cars were
pouring in, while, as matter Of
fact, its only equipment for pro-
ducing cars consisted of a building
that had been leased in Long Island
City and small factory in Kingston,
N. Y, in which not more than 300
cars had been produced by the de-
PENDANTS up to the time of their in
dictment, although in their appeals
to the public all their estima ates Of
profits were based upon an estimated
quantity production of 100000 cars
IN the year 1917.
That while they were selling stock
to the public at prices that ranged all
the way from 81 to SO a share, the
stock was in fact worth intrinsically
exactly 127s cents a share.
