1t Will be noted that the exports 10

last two years. owing to the fact that
wool, the principal export 10 that coun-
try, was Communicated by the British

Japan in 1913 amounted to $12,S7O, In
1914 to $2S8,203. in 1915 to $657, 500
and in 1916 to S52S,5S3.
Japanese exports to New Zealand at
the present time consist principally of
silk and cotton piece goods. wearing ap-
parel. fancy goods. toys. china and
earthenware. In order OF values the
chief lines for 1917 were: Silks. satins
and velvets, $7Ss.404; cotton piece

BUENos AYREs, Argentina, Sept. 15.-
In a statement made to the press of this
city Sr. Reizo Yamashina, who is visit
Ing Argentina on behalf OF the Toxic
Chamber of Commerce, Of which he is
vice-president. announced that he Is very
we'll pleased with the results Of his mis-
sion. He expressed particular satisfac-
ton with the reception accorded him by
DR.. Pueyrredon. Minister of Foreign Re-
lations. for he expects that the future
will see relations even more cordial than
those now existing between Japan and
Argentina. AS to Immediate commercial
results from his visit DR.. Yamashina is
not too sanguine, for the chief object
of his journey Is to make a general study
of the business conditions of Argentina.
Japan Is in need of large amounts OF
| Argentina's raw products, such as wool,
quebracho and hides, and In turn is in a
position to supply Argentina with many
manufactured products.
DR.. Yamashina pointed out the re-
markable increase in commerce between
Japan and Argentina, which had taken
place during and largely because of the
European war. Before 1914 the CONNER
cial interchange between the two coun-
tries was negligible, but in 1913 II
amounted to some s30.000.o0o Such q
huge increase, even though it may be due
largely to fortuitous circumstances. can.
not but have the result OF effecting a
very considerable mutual appreciation.
Statistics which have recently ap-
peared in the West Coast Leader OF
Lima. Peru. point out the interesting
far hot 1aa inc ea
of bank deposits in the United States
during the war period, the increase OF
deposits in the five leading countries OF
South America has been even greater.

mercial attache of the Mexican Govern
ment for the furtherance of Mexican
commercial interests in Central and
South America. The manufacturers have

This increase in the deposits of the
banks of these five countries Is not due
to any imitation, for the figures have been
obtained by conversions 4 the approx
innate mint par which Is for Argentina
43 cents equals l peso, for Bolivia, SO
cents equals l boliviano, for Brazil 81
cents equals 1 mil reis. for Chile 10
cents equals one peso and for Peru Ash
equals one SOL And even II present
rates were used in effecting the conver-
s.ous there would be little change for
the position of South American exchange
has remained very strong throughout
the war.
The increase In the bank deposits Is
especially interesting In view of the fact
that the nations at war were compelled
to withdraw large amounts of their out
standing capital for the purpose of
meeting war expenditures. Just how
much of Nthe European investments in
South America were liquidated 1t is inn
possible to state. but from study OF
the fluctuations in exchange II appears
that the greatest amounts were called
in from Bolivia and Brazil. The same
holds true regarding income. In the
latter case 1t is very probable that large
amounts were also sent to Europe from
Argentina, but the totals can only be
guessed at for the development of the
new industries kept the exchange rates
of Argentina quite firm at all times.
