South American
Financiers Ask
For More Ships
Delegates to Pan-American
Financial Congress Say
Greatest Need Is Passen-
ger and Freight Service

Delegates Prom Argentina, Panama,
Peru and Uruguay to the Pan-American
Financial Congress- which meets at
Washington January 10, arrived here
yesterday on the British steamship
Orcoma.
The delegates are: Argentina: DR..
Domingo E. Salaberry and DR.. Ricardo
.. Aldao; Panama: Jose A. Arrange and
Luis E. Al arc: Peru; DR.. Fernando G.
Fuchs and Ricardo Bullen; Uruguay:
Ricardo 'vecino and DR.. Florencio Ara
gon Etchart.
The Orcoma brought 101 passengers
for New York and 271 in transit for
Liverpool. Among the latter are 90,
officials and 144 men of the Chilean
navy under command of Commodore
Bracy Wilson, who are going to Eng
land to take over a new warship.
The need of increased steamship
service, particularly passenger vessels,
was emphasized by virtually all the
South American delegates.
eve must have more ships" said
DR.. Domingo E. Salaberry, head Of the
Argentine delegation. "At the con
ference We will bring this matter up
and we will make a plea for increased
service as we'll as present in detail
some Of it's requirements"
He added that the delegation from
Argentina had no financial questions
to bring up, but proposed to give care
full attention to all discussion along
those lines.
DR.. Ricardo G. Aldao also spoke
earnestly of the need for better pas
senger service.
ut is shame" he asserted. "that
we had to take % days to reach New
York"
Panama is enjoying an era Of pros
perity, according to Luis E. Alfaro
More than 81 900 900 now in the treas
ury he said, will be expended in build
ing new and better roads. There are
four sugar mills now in operation
the refined products to supply ali of
Panama. Rice, he added, formerly i'm
ported from India, is now being grown
in sufficient quantities to supply more
than half the needs of the country and
he predicted that it will not be long
before Panama will be exporting many
of its products.
DR.. Fernando Fuchs Minister of
Finance Of Peru, said that the greatest
iced of the West Coast countries is
Increased steamship service. and his
colleague. Pedro Daralos Lisson, told
Of q growing interest in prospects for

a desire for more ships but he spoke
encouragingly of the rapid develop
ment of trade that has followed the
close of the war He said that the

Not an Investment at All

Queston-A friend of mine told me to in
vest in German marks or Russian rubles
out trst would like to know whether this
would be safe investment or not Should
any one OF these countries declare bank
ruptcy Or change the design of their cur
rency. would the old paper money be re-
deemable? rs there any possibility of this
happening? Would you advise to invest in
these, or what other foreign money ?MF .G.M
Answer-Governments are likely to
90 anything. Russia and Germany are
probably more likely to do anything
than other nations. There is nothing
to prevent either or both from repu-
dating currency. Russia has already
repudlated her external loans. The
purchase of marks and rubles except
Tor trade uses is nothing but gambling,
There is no investment feature at
tached to it at all. If you believe for
elgn exchange will improve, you could
purchase some of the internal loans Of
countries like Great Britain, France
and Canada. You would receive an
income, and If exchange did improve
you would probably benefit accord
ingly.

Commodities
Cotton

Renewed nervousness over general con-
ditians and Europeal affairs In particular
seemed accountable for the very unset
tied sentiment in the market yesterday.
Selling was not particularly active or
heavy. but there was less support than
recently and prices broke some so to 70
points from Thursdays final figures.
March deliveries. for instance. sold off to
1896 and closed at 1906. compared with
$3.50 on the previous day. while the gen
erai list closed barely steady at a net loss
of ss to SIS points.
The market opened steady. at decline
OF 10 to 22 points owing to somewhat dis
appointing Liverpool cables. Orders were
wei divided at the start. but Liverpool
was seller here and there scattered
Southern selling. under which prices
turned easier Moderate rallies on easier
call money and large exports met in
creased offerings early in the afternoon
and the lowest levels of the day were
reached in the late trading. Closing prices
showed rallies of a few points on cover
ing, but sentiment remained very nervous
and the market was generally unsettled.
Private cables attributed early ad
vance In Liverpool to the better labor sit
uatiol. but there was decline later under
liquidation which was attributed to un-
ers thought this might be connected with
the calling of Allied conference in
Paris 10 discuss measures against Boil
sheVism. and il was noted around the ring
that foreign buy ing was much less active
than earlier in the week
The local spot market was unchanged
at 1926 for middlins 0planG. No sales
were reported.

Answcr-We know of no fixed
method Of calculating the equity be-
hind railroad or other bonds All
roads carry in their general balance
sheets the cost OF the road, but ap-
praisals could easily change this. Per
haps after all, learning power would
enter into the matter more than any
other item, although the market value
of junior liens is factor also.
