PLAN TO EXPEDITE

A plan now being presented to ex-

American commerce conference held at
Washington, ID. c., last June, a plan
which has been put in practice In the
Argentine consulate with splendid re-
suits. 1t Is as follows:
That hereafter all the documents
which comprise the loading of ship be
presented at the same time at the con-
sulate by the shipping companies, % be
delivered later by the respective compa-
nies after being legalized to the parties
concerned, and that, after this has been
done, the sailing date of the vessel be
fixed taking into account that they
should accord the shippers reasonable
time in order to enable them to make
their banking operations and reach the
mail which should take these documents
to their destination, so that the receiver
of the goods may take immediate pos

CHINESE PUSHING
AHEAD IN PANAMA
Local Papers Shotu Sympathy
OUer Shantung AWard.

PANAMA Ctr, Panama, Oct. 5.-Con-
tinued discussion by local papers of the
Shantung award to Japan has resulted
In widespread feeling OF sympathy
throughout the Panama Republic in
favor of the Chinese contentious. This
feeling has. been eagerly seized upon by
The Republic, the English Spanish pub
lication of the Chinese colony, and is
remarked with considerable favor.
Until recent years the position of the
Chinese immigrant to Panama has been
dfhicult. In many cases he has been
the object of persecution and race hatred
Through 1t all he has borne an unwcr-
rled mien and with calm oriental stole
ism has met the portion of prosperity
or hard times which fate has awarded
him. Always saving and good business
men the Chinese have slowly accumu-
lated capital with the result that to-day
they number among the most successful
business men Of Panama and also are
counted among the most respected.
At first the Chinese were more in
clined to go into the provision business
and gradually gained control of most Of
the important markets In late years they
Rave branched out into the clothing
lines. particularly dry goods and also
perfumery, silks and oriental goods. In
the case of the last mentioned they have
what amounts to a monopoly and in this
connection 1t is interesting to note that
in the list of foreign purchases of the
Republic of Panama the imports from
China ranked third during the year 1918.

The Chinese are entering more and

EXPECT RISE IN COFFEE
Failure of Brazil's Coffee
Crop Affects Product Of
Her Neighbor.

CARACAS, Venezuela, Oct. 4.-Business
conditions In this country are stated TO
be the best that have been experienced
in a great many years. In spite OF the
fact that the cacao and coffee markets
OF New York have been dull the high
quality of the Venezuelan products have
given them q sale where the same ar
ticles from other countries have been
very slow OF movement.
Venezuela has been especially helped
by the ending of the world war
and the consequent increase in
shipping space available for the
delivery of this country's products to
France. Venezuelan coffee and oacao
have always found a ready market in
France, for the tastes of the Partisan
public are said to be much keener than
those of the Americans or the English
In this connection It Is well to note that
If there is any truth in the reports from
Brazil to the effect that the 1920 coffee
crop of that country will at most amount
to only 5000. 900 bags, and probably not
over 1000, 900 (the normal production Is
in the vicinity of 10,cO0,O0O), the de-
mand for the Venezuelan product VIII
be greatly stimulated. and the prices
are expected to be in for a considerable
rise.
Among the many other things which
are contributing to Venezuela's progress
is the recent development of oil bearing
properties which are stated to be quite
valuable. Shipments Of goat skins have
increased enormously in the last two
years, due to the world scarcity OF
leather. The Government has had to
take a hand in the matter and pass laws
regulating the killing of these animals
in order to prevent their determination.
Several of the leading railroad projects

anticipation of the time when the meat

Need of Modern Machinery Be-
ginning to Be Realized by
South Americans.

OF the countries engaged in the Euro
said to have benefited is Brazil. Before
the war Brazil's Industrial prosperity de-
pended upon advantageous sales OF her
rubber and coffee. These two commodi-
ties were subject to wide price fiuctua-
tions, with the result that many of
Brazirs leading business men could
never be certain at night when they re-
tired whether they would be rich or
moor in the morning In addition, the
oompetition of the East Indian rubber
plantations was proving too much for
the Amazon wild rubber producers and
this industry was gradually falling off.
For several decades previous to the
war the Brazilian Government had made
ineffectual attempts to interest the
agricultural world In the advantages
which would be derived from diversi-
fication of their industries With the
outbreak of the war the markets of the
Teutonic nations were Immediately cut
0ff and consequently the demand for
Brazils rubber and coffee was appreci-
ably lesuened During the first year of
the war agriculturists vainly attempted
to overcome the inevitable but at length
they awoke to the realization of the fact
that salvation was to be found in rails
ing animal and cereal products for which
the worlds demand Is SO great that they
2 can always be assured stable market.
I Accordingly then in 1915 the scales
dropped from the eyes which had been
blind to Government advice. New IN
dustries were opened up and old ones,
being unimportant, were revived with
the result that In three short years the
character of Brazilian exports changed
very materially.

ferences of all the peoples who consti-
tute Latin America will be touched

Great Possibilities in Cotton.

Although the cotton exports of 1917
were so small that they do not appear
on the table above, cotton production
was of Importance during that year and
since then has been greatly stimulated.
In 1918 half million bales were raised
Even this figure Is disappointing when
IL is realized that Brazil is capable of
raising 20,000,000 bales, a crop as large
as the whole world turns out. Unfor-
tunately possibilities do not mean that
any one will try to turn them into reali-
ties but it is hoped that the present
prices of cotton will be an effective slim
ulus for the development of an industry
for which Brazil is so preeminently
adapted by nature.
In this connection 1t is interesting to
note that the Maranao variety of cot
ton is produced on a tree which lives
from ten to twelve years and bears open
bolls all year around: the cotton is of
a fine quality. long and silky, and is
free from the insect pests that have
made cotton trees unpopular in other
parts of the world. The herbaceo va
riety, of annual growth, bears a short
white lint; 1900 pounds of lint have
been raised on an acre. In Egypt the
average is 500 pounds.
The appearance of beans on the export
list of 1917 Is also important as mark
ing BraziPs first steps in raising tenn
perate food products to any great ex-
tent. Formerly Brazil was an importer
of beans; to-day her exports run up to
tens OF millions Large acreages of corn
have been planted during the last few
years and exports of this product are
becoming increasingly important
The States of Santa Catharina, Pa
rama and Rio Grande do Sui have also
gone into wheat and barley raising on
a large scale and 1t is expected that
within few years considerable amounts
OF the hard cereals will appear on the
export list.

brazilian Exports for 1e1o-1o17.

! A comparison of the exports of 1915
and 1917. listed by commodities, brings
out clearly the progress that has been
made in the diversification of Brazilian
Industries, and 1t is stated by those in
a position to know that the statistics for
1918 and 1919 will show a still greater
progress.
OF the products listsa, meat exports
show the greatest increase. and with the
establishment of modern American pack
ing plants there Is every reason to
believe that Brazil will become a per-
manent exporter of beef on large scale.
The revival of the sugar industry is
also worthy of note. Prior to the out
break of the European war the sugar ex-
ports from Brazil were rapidly declining
and although the country was in years
past one of the chief sugar producing
countries of the world. the industry de-
cayed through lack OF use of modern
methods and machinery and in competi-
tion with the beet industry of Central
Europe. War prices, however, gave a
great impetus to the industry and If its
reconstruction can be judged by the
amount of MODERN machinery recently
imported there is every reason to believe
that Crazil will play an important part
in meeting the sugar shortage now i'm
pending.
