NORWEC|ANS COMPLAIN

morass. Thus far the cultivation of
cotton, which is raised from acc.imated
North American seeds, has been arried
on in small detached plan tations, and
therefore lack of uniformity in the product
has prevailed.
In Chaco land is said to be worth
around &S. so per acre in lots OF $50 acres
of which probably one-half would b,
tillable and the other half adaptable
to the raising of stock The costs Of cule
tivation of an area between $3.50 and
$500 acres are estimated by La Razon
at $50 per acre. This figure allows for
ordinary setbacks, and is based on n
production Of between 700 and 900 pounds
per acre Estimates for the season's
crop vary from 1900 tors TO 1900 tons.
Probably the latter figure will be nearer
the actual production. In February,
Argentine cotton delivered ut Buenos
Aires cost about $40 per pound and sold
for S35 per pound. Cultivators OF cotton
now count on the Indians AS laborcrs, and
when they lack this class Of labor the har-
vestinP OF the crop is a serious matter in
many CASES If more seed is sown than the
family can pick, a loss results.
This lack of help aggravated by the
nomad nature Of the Indians makes per
immigration a necessity for the
roisinp of cotton on large scale.

BuenOs Aires, June 24-The cessa-
ton Of the demand for coarse grades of
wool for army uniforms and the refusal
Of average people In spite Of the high
cost of living, 10 buy clothing made of
the coarse grades, has left Argentina with
more than 200,Oo0,OO0 pounds Of almost
unsaleahle wool on its hands according
O. local manufacturer of woolen cloth
interviewed by La Nacion.
This huge quantity will be increased
during the shearing season in July and
August. As the production Of wool in this
country - growing year by year, the prob
lem Of selling the coarser grades is con-
sidered very serious One reason for the
situation is that formerly Argentine sheep
breeders had thought more of the meat
than the wool, with the result that
their stock became mixed and the conse-
quent wool coarse and not uniform.

that:

J. P. Morgan & Company, as yet
have not received any cable advices

however, that the metal may be
for them as in the case of a previous
shipment when they were not ad-
vised of its coming until the vessel
was only two or three days outside
of New York.
The above news increased the
feeling of optimism that has pre-
vailed in leading commission houses
for the last week. The banking
opinion is that at least 100000. 900
in gold will arrive in this country
from Europe during the next three

Roads Request Would More Than
Double Annual Tax, Says Authorit1

That the increase in freight rates
asked by the railroads will more
than double the annual tax burden
OF the country, was the alarming
statement made before the inter-
state Commerce Commission yester-
day by Clifford Thorne. representa-
tive of the railroad shippers.
The commission, under the rail-
road act, Is empowered to grant
freight rates which will insure a net
return to the roads of 6h per cent
annually. This will necessitate
general increase of approximately
2b per cent, IL is believed. Such an
increase is computed on the prop
orty value Of the railroads, estimat-
ed by their representatives to be
s20,B16.573.3ss.
That this valuation was an ex-
cessive one by several billion dol
lars was the chief contention of Mr..
Thorne yesterday in presenting the
case of the shippers before the COM
"This amount represents the book
value of American railroads" said
Mr.. Thorne, "ard in no sense consti-
tutes the actual investment. I be-
lieye that the facts will show this
amount to be excessive by several
million dollars.
During the past three years the
total annual interest charges on the
public debt of the United States
has Increased from $23,-
ooo. 900 to ,053,o00.000.
IF the railroad stockholders and
ondholders are successful in their
emands, the increased transportation
burden on our people will be twice
ar large as the total annual tax bur-
den occasioned byf he greatest war

DIAMOND IMPORTS.

The European market has little
TO offer in the way of good assort-
ments of rough and finished dia-
monds, according to a leading i'm
porter here. The year and a half
during the war. when the diamond
mines were producing almost moth
ing. has been followed by restric-
tions on production by the South
African government, it is reported,
with a consequent decrease in the
output. Some shipments of rough
diamonds are reported on the wa
ter destined for this port now, but
the quality is comparatively poor it
is said. With sterling exchange ad-
vancing as it has for the past two
months, diamond importers are now
paying more for the rough goods
than ever before and expect higher
prices TO prevail when these stones
are cut.
