U. S. Trade With
South America

Washington, July 31.--Cornmercial
relations between the United States and
South America are in serious condi-
ton because of the war.
The lack of shipping has caused a
decrease in the amount of roanufac-
tured goods exported to Argentina. and
the factories Of that country are unable
to meet the demand. Some Of the fac
tories require raw materials that have
formerly been obtained in the United
States and have been compelled to shut
down or greatly. to curtail their forces
! The entrance of the United States
into the war marked the end of ex-
tensive shipping between this country
and Argentina. Besides a few steam
ships some sailing vessels still visit
Argentina, according to consular ad-
vices. but they are so small that navi-
CATION is dangerous and they do no,

heavy iron castings and coal.

The United States has a credit o,
$50 100000 in Buenos Aires which will
be increased. according to this informar
ton, by $40.000.000 to be used as q
