TRADE SEEN
WITH SOUTH AMERICA
Increases of Past Few Months
Shown by Commerce De-
partment.

Forecast Of greater trade between the
United States and South America this
year than last year. was made today by
Director Klein. Of the bureau OF foreign
and domestic commerce, who is acting
secretary Of commerce, in the absence
Of Secretary Hoover. Increases during
the past three months. he declared. make
the advance for the year apparent.
During September. Mr.. Klein stated. 4
5 per cent increase over August values
took place in the total trade of the
United States with Latin American,
done with Latin America during Septem-
Der than with September Of 1891. How
ever, he added. during the first nine
months of 1922 there was IL per cert
less trade than for the corresponding
period Of 1921.
Goods From Argentina.
Argentina" Mr.. Klein said. ship
her products to the United States dur
ing September AS she did during the
same months Of 1921, and purchase ed
from US slightly less than 50 per cent
more than the same months last year.
Notwithstanding the low figures OF
early months of this year. by the end
of September ) per cent more business
had been done between these two
countries than during the first nine
months of 1921.
Brazil sold to the United States
20 per cent more of her products in
September than during the same
month of 1921, and purchased IL per
cent more. A curious situation arose
in the trade Of the United States with
Argentina and with Brazil during
September; whereas last year the i'm
ports Of the United States from Brazil
were almost double those from Ar
gentina: our imports this year from
Argentina were almost 50 per cent
greater than from Brazil.
Chilean trade also has greatly in
creased. September, 1922, shows an
increase in imports from that coun-
try amounting TO approximately 80
per cent, and our exports thereto are
125 per cent larger than the same
months last year.
"The trade balance. both for the
month of September and for the frs,
nine months Of this year. shows the
imports Of the United States from
South America are considerably in
excess of our exports thereto. Ar
gentina, however, purchased Is per
cent more from US than she sold to
us"
