The Development of
our South American Ally

T HREE-FOURTHS Of the population
of Brazil, the largest country Of
South America both in area and popu-
lation, lies along the Atlantic Coast
from the northern shoulder to the
southern extremity Of the country.
Along the coast a highly developed
modern civilization has attained eA-
traordinary industrial power. To the
west across the low mountain ranges
which parallel the coast are table
lands capable of vast development.
THE possibilities of this western de-
velopment point a comparison to
the situation in the United States,
about 1920, before our population
drifted over the Allegheny Mountains
into the western plains. The extern
sive fertile areas of Brazil Justify a
prediction that the development Of her
resources will be similar to that of the
United States.
w HEN our pioneers drifted west
ward our population in compari-
son to our area approXimated that Of
Brazil, being about y persons per
square mile. Then our foreign COM
merce amounted to S10.34 per capita.
Today in the United States there are
28.l persons per square mile and our
foreign commerce amounts to $500
per capita Brazil's foreign commerce
at the present time is $27.50 per cap
ita. If her future growth even approx
mately compares with that of the
United States her foreign commerce
will be tremendous.
r RAZIL'S commerce and economic
development are dependent upon
the investment of foreign capital.
r RITISH and Canadian capital in
vested in Brazil is estimated at
$1,000, 100000, while that Of the United
States is estimated at only $20,000,0OO.

market had an active and strong open

rehecting higher cables aud unsettled
and showcry weather over the belt which
prompted heavy commission house buy

The bulge attracted considerable

sorbed by growing outside speculative
demand and prices continued very firm
after the opening. sustained by the cast
crn belt forecast Of showcry weather to-
day and tomorrow.
Reports from New Bedford that the
mills there had closed owing to a strike
of engineers, seemed to attract little
or no attention. Perhaps the feeling was
that the goods trade was too active ant
prosperous to make any prolonged labor
trouble likely, as reports from the
domestic goods market Indicated scnsa
tional strength on Saturday with some
manufacturers refusing to sell further

Chicago, May 19.-The weather fore
cast for the corn belt today was for
fair conditions and, as result, the wet
weather shown on the map over the
greater portion of the belt caused n
fairly good demand for corn with the
result that higher prices were cstab-
lished.
The tone of the market was fairly
substantial buying by prominent COM
mission houses and this demand was
augmented by covering Of shorts.
Local operators appear to be the only
sellers and these were forced to cover
frequently during the day. As rule,
the offerings were gradually limited to
moderate quantities.
Business was small in the market for
oats but prices advanced in sympathy
with corn. Commission houses had buy
ing orders, influenced by the unfavor-
able weather for the movement and the
light offerings from the country.
Local operators were inclined to fight
the advancing prices but were forced to
cover when the market did not sell
off.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
