SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE
OUTLOOK CALLED GOOD
Bank Says Chances Are Bet
ter Than Before War.

The United States is in a more favor
able position TO hold and build up a
large trade with South America than
before the war. according to the Novem-
Der issue of Commerce Monthly, issued
by the National Bank OF Commerce In
New York. Especially is this true as
regards Brazil and the northern and
western republics whose tropical prod
ucts are in demand in the United States
and which. in turn, require this coun-
try's foodstuffs and manufactures. Re-
garding Americas immigration problem
the publication says:
THE immigration policy Of the
United States. now in the making. may
contain vital social and economic con-
sequences for the future. The founda-
tions OF this Republic were laid by north
western Europeans. They have consti-
tuted the preponderance of our immi.
grafton taken as a whole. Southern and
eastern Europeans we're unimportant ir
numbers. This relationship has not per
sisted with the passing decades. and II
this divergence should persist the tex
ture of our population could be changed

delayed.
Iron and steel production showed some
Improvement over the lower point OF
August. but is still below the level OF a
few months ago. Prices of steel and iron
increased sharply. while untitled orders
continued to pile up.
Coal production has been fairly salts

reserves have been accumulated against

SHIPPERS APPROVE
TRUNK LINE RATES
Philadelphia Business Men Fa-
vor Mileage Basis for New
Class Plan.

Philadelphia shippers and business or
terday in their approval of the mileage
basis for class rates in Trunk Line ter
ritory than were the New York ship
pers at Mondays hearing before the
Trunk Line Association in the Pennsyl-
vania Station. w. A. Moore. traffic man
ager OF the New Jersey Zinc Company,
approved of the mileage scale adjust
ment but was not In favor Of all scales
proposed.
r. N. Collyer. chairman Of the Trunk
Line Association, made formal reply to
a number of questions asked by George
T.. Wilson, traffic manager of the Phlla-
Gelphia Chamber OF Commerce. Mr.
Collyer denied that the higher classes
of freight We're advanced to permit or
advances in the lower classes, pointing
out that the scale as docheted was
evolved with the Ave mile first class rate
slightly higher than in Central Freight
Association territory and lower than In
New England. differential justified by
operating conditions in the respective
territories.
Mr.. Wilson sought, TO ascertain the
haul requirements of the Pennsylvania
State law and was told by the chairman
that the indirect lines will undertake to
continue to compete with direct routes
where it--can be done without undue
sacrifice at intermediate points.
G. +. Eaton, representing the Ameri-
can Agricultural Chemical Company,
made the point that the tariffs as pub
lshed by the Trunk Line Association
are really skeleton which when de-
veloped might touch points In trunk line
territory not mentioned In the tabula-
tion. He stressed the necessity for an
explanation as to how the basis would be
applied to points which are not base
points. He made no criticism of the
plan other than to suggest that the
only basis on which a rate structure
could be worked out for Eastern terri
tory was the ten class scale and classi-
fication.
Traffic officials OF the lines operating
in this trunk line territory probably
will be called upon for testimony as to
the working out Of the proposed class
rate basis on their particular lines.
The session to-day will concern the
Baltimore and Maryland districts, after
which the Pittsburgh shippers will be
called upon to discuss the scheme.

STEPS TO PREVENT
MEX. PETE CORNER
Exchange Acts as New Con-
version Privilege Tends to
Reduce Supply of Stock.

The New York Stock Exchange took
steps yesterday to avert a possible cor
ner in shares of the Mexican Petroleum
Company and asked that concern and
its parent corporation, the Pan-Ameri-
can Petroleum and Transport Company.
what their attitude would be in the event
such q corner existed. Officials OF the
companies informed the Stock Exchange
authorities that they are opposed to
corner and stand ready TO do anything
possible for them to do as companies to
prevent it.
This development, which was disclosed
by E. l.. Doheny. chairman OF the COM
panies, follows the issuance last Monday
Of the terms unde- which stockholders

FLOATING supply of whose shares in III.

change their stock for the Class L
common shares OF the Par-Amerlcar
company. The exchange of shares Is
expected ultimately to remove Mexican
Petroleum shares from the Stock Ex'
change list.
Many odd lot dealers in Wall Stree
were refusing sales of the STOCK yester'
ID
announcement from the New York Stoct
Exchange. Mr.. Doheny's disclosure gave
the first definite information that Stocs
Exchange authorities had formally rec
ognized the new possibility OF a corner
in Mexican Petroleum shares.
Mr.. Doheny said that the management
had assured the Stock Exchange tha
between $4,000 ana 10000 shares o.

AS to the amount of Mexican Petrol

Mr.. Doheny declined to hazard an est

BERLIN BANKER SEES
NO HOPE FOR GERMANY
Declares Reparafions Problem
Is Big Bar.

DIR. Georg Solmssen, managing part
ner OF the Observation-Disclosures one OF
the three largest German banks, said
yesterday that attempts to stabilize the
German mark were like a man trying TO
stop an avalanche crushing down q
mountain. He said: 80 long as the
reparations question Is unsettled we
move on quicksand. in which we sink
deeper and deeper in spite of our strug-
giles TO come out. So long as the system
of the so-called treaty of peace prevails,
to draw out OF Germany so much tribute
as can be forced out OF her, the situation
will remain hopeless.
Germany has lost all her foreign
assets. which In former times gave her
the chance to equalize exports and I'M
ports Now we must uphold our trade
by procuring the necessary exchange
otherwise while being forced to meet
obligations that go beyond our facili-
ties

Equipment Inquiries.

IT is reported that large inquiries are
now in the market for new freight cars.
Tho total to date in new orders for roll
Ing stock Is ahead of last year by a
considerable margin. but equipment
makers are confides.t that the remain
ing months OF the current year will
swell the present level considerably.
The offerings OF equipment trust ccr-
tificates have been large during the last
few months, and as more cars are
turned out it Is expected that the rail-
road companies will provide for final
payments on this equipment through the
issuance of certificates. Traffic con-
tinues in heavy volume, and the peak
of movement is expected to run into
November instead of October. as is the
case in normal times.
