DROP IN LATIN AMERICA,

United States exports to Latin
America fell Off by nearly $S00,000.-
900 during the calendar year. 1921,
during the fiscal year, 1854 Inn
ports during this period fell OF
s1.0sS,s27, 900. although they were
greater than the last pre-war year
by $225. 100000.
: In announcing these figures yesterday,
the Department of Commerce said:
This has resulted in a striking
change in our balance Of trade with
Latin America In 1884, American
imports from Latin America exceeded
exports thereto by $1s5,41O,000. In
1920 this excess Of imports had>>in-
creased to $240,2s2,O00. The past year,
however. has witnessed a complete
change in this condition for 1921.
We disposed of $s9.S0s.000 more of
merchandise in Latin America than
we purchased from there. Translate
ing the trade belance into the ratio of
imports from Latin America to ex-
ports thereto. in 1914 we imported
61.3 per cent more than we exported
in 1920. 1876 per cent more than we ex-
ported, but in 1921, we exported to
those countries 11.2 per cent more
than we imported from them.

COTTON JUMP SETBACK
TO THE MARKET BROKERS

NEW YORK. February 1S.-Traders
who have been anticipating a setback
in the cotton market had rather a
stormy time of it today when the
market jumped to new high levels on
the present bull movement and closed
practically at highest prices of the
day. representing an advance of SO to
10 points over the final prices OF Fri
day. While the market appeared to
have a. good undertone throughout
the entire session. it was not until
the last half hour that bear traders
realized the futility of opposing the
upward trend of prices and began to
cover shorts on big scale. Most of
the advance came at this time.
The opening was firm and IL to -
points higher, based on local and out
side support resulting from sales of
about 100000 pieces in the Fall River
cloth market with curtailment of only
$4,000 pieces, together with some i'm
provement in the local goods market
yesterday and growing belief that
the New England wage situation will
soon be adjusted satisfactorily. Other
factors which attracted favorable at
tention were the intimations from
washington that no action would be
taken on the bonus bill at this session
and President Harding's statement to
the effect that the United States has
passed "low-tide" in financial affairs
and is on the upturn and that a gen.
eral improvement in agricultural con-
ditions is evident. Aside from con-
siderable selling in the middle Of the
forenoon attributed to Wall street
and japanese account. mostly in the
way Of profit-taking, the selling
pressure was light all day.
NEW ORLEANS. February 1S.-De-
cided strength was displayed by cot
ton today. especially in the late trad
ing. The market reached it's highest
levels toward the close, when 1t stood
80 to ~ points up. The close was 81
to II points up. March traded up to
1897 and closed at 1888; October rose
to 1857 and closed at 1882.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, February 1S.-Foreign
markets were again the paramount
influence on the Chicago board of
trade today. With Argentine report
ed 3 cents higher on wheat, an ex-
actly similar net gain was recorded
here. Corn finished unchanged to y
higher, oats " to Y higher. and pro-
visions lower to IN higher, al
though cured products made a new
high mark for the season.
Wheat started higher in sympathy
with LiverpooTs bullish action on the
Argentine crop estimate of $4,000. 900
less bushels this year than last.
Profit-taking operations forced down
port encouraged shorts to indulge in
their favorite trades. AS a result the
Ruenos Aires close at Scent ad-
vance came when the pit was over
sold. The longs made the most of
the chance and the bulge was con-

ness and advices that the seaboard

Oats were about steady, but trade

The higher prices for live hogs had
the usual effect. but locals and cash

new high for the season..

SPORADIC BUYING
Of STEEL IS NOTED
Improvement Seen in De-
mand-Copper Unsettled.
Lead Unchanged.

NEW YORK, February 1S.-A fur
ther slight Improvement was appar-
ent in the demand for steel products
during the week. although on the
whole the buying was again Of
sporadic character. Competition was
very keen and the tone Of the market
was barely steady. as producers were
inclined to shade prices to effect
sales. Railroad requirements fur
nished a sustaining factor. while a
feature in the export situation was a
sale of 10000 tons of rails to Japan.
Pig iron was steady, with fairly
good demand in scattered way. and
the trade was anticipating the piac-
ing Of the contract for the vehicular
tunnel under the Hudson river.
No General Call for Copper.
Copper was unsettled. Owing to a
continued absence of any general de-
mand. there has been further price
cutting by second hands and small
producers. Such interests have ac-
cepted orders at 1915. delivered. for
electrolytic. and it is reported that a
few small lots have been sold for spot
or prompt shipment at the 13 basis.
The large producers have not fully
met this decline, but are said to have
accepted orders for the second quar-
ter at 13A. A little more inquiry has
developed at the lower prices for
both domestic consumption and eX-
port.
Review of Other Metals.
Tin has been lower owing to cheap
import offers of Banca tin s.aa the
continued sag in London. utefe S>l-
ing has been heavy on, acconat Of >>is
arrivals.
Lead is unchanged. Large p:o-
ducers are fully booked for February
and well into March,
Zinc has been a little firmer. as pro-
ducers are not offering freely at pres
eEt levels and demand is about equal
to offerings. There has been some
inquiry from Japan.
Antimony continues quiet Con-
sumers: appear well supplied, how
ever, and stocks are ample.

BOSTON. February IS (SpeciaD--
Trading in the wool market here was
slow today Demand from manu-
facturers was not in evidence and
there also seemed less of the specu-
lative activity than has been manifest
hitherto. Prices for fleece woods
maintained their high levels. and
some holders have set an even higher
mark for the bidders to shoot
at. But little fleece wool remains
throughout the west, according to re-
ports here, and the country Is being
combed for these odd lots. Ohio and
Pennsylvania unwashed delaines were
quoted at 4s to 80 pound. with
some holders asking SO.
There was a slightly easier trend
in the low grade secured wools, with

AUTHORITIES OF FiUME
CONFRONTED BY UNREST

By the Associated Press.
ROME, FebruaryI7.-There is much
unrest at Fiume. with the Fascist
and the adherents of the government
of President Zanella opposing each
other. Gen. Spreafico, commanding
an Italian brigade which Is occupying
territory south Of Fiumn ceded to the
Jugoslavs by the treaty of Rapallo.
has sent company of troops to seize
police headquarters in Fiume and re-
store calm. All the Zanclla detectives
and police have been relieved of duty
and their functions until further or
ders will be performed by carabineers
and Gen. Spreaf1cos troops.
Zanella, who was elected president
of Fiume last April. recently dis
charged more than $50 Italians act
ing as detectives in Fiume. This ac-
tion antagonized the Italian national
ist parties. who desire reinstatement
of the men.
The Rome press is incensed against
President Zanella on account Of what
they regard as his "anti-Italian
tendencies" The newspapers argue
that the Fiume government is able
to exist only with the support Of the
Italian government.
