ton of Nitrate in Spring.

Commercial Attache Mcqueen, at
Santiago, cables to the Department.
Of Commerce that business Is gen.
eraIrS much restricted and no
change is likely to take place until
the appearance of indications OF an
increase in consumption of nitrate
in European and American markets
during the coming spring.
The" average exchange for the
first twenty-four days Of January
was sO.o9h. The low rate was
caused by the small movement OF
exports and the unfavorable condi-
ton Of government finances. Re-
pudiated stocks of import merchan-
disc have almost been completely
disposed of. The warehouses are
nearly empty, most Of the goods be-
ing transferred to points OF most
active consumption. New purchases
abroad in large quantities cannot
be made until exports increase and
exchange becomes stabilized. The
demand for shipping space Is dull.
Exports of. nitrate during 1921
were 1.lO0. 900 metric tons compared
with 2,75O.0O0 metric tons in 1920.
The collections Of the customs
houses during 1871 total $4,000, 900
as c6mpared with s51.00o,0o In
1920. = The decrease in the exports
of nitrate accounts for this fall in

CHICAGO. Feb. IA reactionary

bulges by scattered longs who were
evening up for the weekend and
fluctuations were very rapid. Trade
shows indications Of broadening.
The reaction today was not sur
prising in view of the swift ad-
vance the past week.. and was need
ed to strengthen the technical 'po-
sition. Under 41.25 for May there
was a good class of buying by

Ter tone on wheat. Country oner-
