Daily Financial Gossip
By HOLLAND

America is much less than the distance between San Francisco and the principal Pacific ports of the southern continent, would not have been made had it not been for the war. One example may be sufficient to illustrate the point. A ves- sel sailing from San Francisco to Guaya- quil must cover $500 nautical miles. But the distance between New York and Guayaquil by way of the Panama Canal is only 2,S0O miles.
 Colonel Roosevelt when President once said that one of the influences which led him to advocate and then to push to successful completion the construction of the Panama Canal was the opportu- nifty which a deep sea artificial water way would furnish whereby trade be- tween the United States and South America could be vastly increased. EX- perience has shown that Roosevelt was correct. But it is chiefly trade between the four countries of South America which are upon the Pacific coast, Colom- bia, Ecuador, Peru and Chile. The coas~ line is about 5000 miles. Ultimately Bo- livia, which has no seacoast but which IS approaching the sea by means of rail roads will be included in the South American countries of the west coast with which very large trade with the United States is developed.
 WHAT THE MAP SHOWS
 If anyone would take a few minutes to look at the map which contains the out lines of the American hemisphere he would instantly discover that the chisf manufacturing industries of the Unlted States are almost directly north of the South American republics upon the "a cific coast. Few people realize that the harbor of Lima in Peru is almost exactiS upon the degree of longitude which passes through New York. The chief harbor of Chile is practically upon the same degree of longitude as Boston, There must however come a larger in- vestment of American capital if the trade between the United States and Solfn America is developed to it's highest ca- pacity The resources of these countries are inconcevably rich. The European war completely changed the trade reia- tions between these countries and Great Britain, Germany and other European countries. What they lost the unitei States has gained. American capital IS needed and undoubtedly will be furnished by and for the full exploitation of the tin mines of Bolivia fomerly controlled by Great Britain. Bolivia produces about one-fourth of the worlds supply of tin. And with American investment of capital there is no doubt that hereafter tha United States will become the chief mar ket for Bolivia tin, thus making us in- dependent of Great Britain, as we were not until the European war began.

JUDGE AGEE TO HEAR CHARGES AGAIN $ T
 JURY COM MI $ SION

Hearing of the mandamus proceed ings instituted by Attorney Horace Al-' ford against the Jefferson county jury commission will be started this morn ing before Judge w. F. Agee, who was assigned to shear the case by Chief Justice John Anderson of the supreme court
 This case grew out of the alleged charges of irregular practice in the selection of jurors for duty in both the criminal and civil divisions of the circuit court. The Jefferson county grand jury, which recently adjourned, investigated this matter and tccord- ing to the report, was unable to find any evidence which showed that the jurors had not been selected in the regular manner and according to law.

New York, July Special Al thought San Francisco is shown by the reports of the census enumerators to have lost it's position maintained since California became state as the-first city on the Pacific coast in population, nevertheless it is likely to maintain supremacy although finding a strong competitor in Seattle, as the commer- cial city of the Pacific. Seattle a wis itor from that city to New York said this morning, is certain to hold and in crease commerce between the United States and Alaska. As the government is about to cooperate with private capital in the development of the Alaskan resources there can be no doubt that the commerce between that peninsula and the United States with Seattle as it's port will be greatly in- creased
 But curiously enough a situation which was unfreseen has arison since the construction of the Panama canal Before that canal was open to naviga- ston the chief commerce between the west coast of South America and the United States was carried in vessels of the company which was organized by the, late William R. Grace, who was tWlce mayor or New York and who in his early life lived at Lima, Peru. The corporation which Mayor Grace found- ed has now become very large and it's wheels and it's vessels are utilizing the Panama canal. No longer are they conn peled to make the long voyage through the Straits of Magellan in or der to reach the coast ports of west South America.
 Not many persons realize what the magnitude of the foreign trade of the west coast countries of South America has now become. In the year 1918 this commerce aggregated $746 000.O00 Of course, this included both imports and exports. The aggregate must have been considerably lager in 1919, but the figures for that year have not been published
 This increase is, relatively, the greatest reported from any countries of the world since the beginning of the European war. 1t is almost 80 per cent larger than the average for the five years before the European war began. A very heavy de- mand for the raw materials produced in the countries of the west coast of South Africa began immediately after Ger many started upon the march through Belgium toward Paris.
 Possibly the discovery that the eastern seaports of the United States have a great advantage over San Francisco be- cause the distance between the eastern ports and the west coast of South

 The class spirit was very evident on this occasion and plans will be perfect ed to make the affair an annual re- union.
