value of nearly forty billion boiiv-

A very small percentage of Bo-
liyia's foreign trade was with the
United States. This in fact explains
what seemed to be q discrepancy
in a recent statement made by the
Consul General in which he gave
the figures of the trade with the
United States in Bolivia up to mid
year of 1914.
The Consul General referred in
those figures only to Bolivian trade
with the United States, and not to
the aggregate foreign trade of Bo-
livia-
Since 1914 the United States has fur
nished the principal market for Bo-
livian products. The American manu-
facturers and exporters had before
1914 taken little heed of their Bolivian
opportunities.
The Consul General says, however.
that there Is every indication of q new
increase OF good will and a COM
plete understanding whereby mutually
agreeable and satisfactory habits Will
be established. with the adaptability
which Is an essential condition in Or
der to succeed in commerce.

of such exports was trivial.
Monroe Doctrine.
ThrouGhout South America there has
been a change of view respecting the
attitude of the United States toward
the Southern Continent. Formerly a
good deal OF suspicion respecting the
good faith of the United States pre-
vailed.
Our attitude towards independent
Cuba tended to allay that suspicion
and the visits of Elihu Root and
John Bassett Moore with others to
South America a few years ago to-
gether with the experience which
the South American nations have
had in establishing mutual trade re-
lations with the United States have
served almost completely to elimi-
nate that suspicion.
Whatever Europe does in the way
OF increasing purchases in the Amer
lean markets for a few years after
the treaty of peace is signed is like
ly to be temporary.
Our stupendous export trade to
Europe may last ten years or more
but it is sure gradually to be di-
minished. But satisfactory trade
relations established with South
America whose raw materials
and other products are so much
needed in the United States are
likely to be permanent. increasing
each year until at least II is recog-
nized that our two great markets
are those Of Canada upon the north
and Central and South America
upon the South.
Satisfactory commercial and A.
nanCial relations will serve to es-
tablish so to speak an American So
ciety OF nations behind which will
stand the protecting authority or
influence which is known as the
Monroe Doctrine.

warnings against crazy speculation in
the stock market were needed today

down materially. Even at that more
than 100000 shares changed hands,
but the business was of a conserva-
tive character. Many customers who
were over-extended took the hint and
reduced their lines. The result was
that the market was let down to a
slightly lower level II closed at the

done SO chiefly because they want
the market to continue fits upward
