HUGE NITRATE DEAL
IN CHILE PLANNED
Formation of $780, OO,O 600
Organization to Be Consum-
mated In U. S. Soon.

BY the Associated Press.
SANTIAGO, Chile, october 3l.-The
Associated Press has learned that the
final and most important step in the
international campaign to stabilize the
nitrate industry will take place in Wall
street late in November and early in
December.
Plans for the conferences In New
York to finance a $3.50, 000, 900 cooper
alive company, known to the nitrate
producers as the "Cosach," were given
here by Alfred Houston. general man
ager of the Guggenheim interests IN
Chile and member Of the CoSach Board
of Directors.
His announcement followed the de-
parture for the United States Of repre-.
sentatives of private interests Identified
with the Cosach.
Due in u. s. Shortly.
Mr.. Houston said the group would
arrive in New York on November 20,
after visit Of two weeks to the nitrate
fields in Northern Chile. At about the
same time the Chilean government In
tends to send official representatives to
participate in conferences between
bankers and important nitrate pro-
ducers.
Mr.. Houston said the role OF the
bankers would be particularly important
in the present effort to lift the industry
out of its difnculties.
"The worlds financial markets now
are in a highly unsettled condition" he
said, making any large scale financing
dificult. But even under these condi-
lions, and in cooperation with the
government, we are hopeful of making
the arrangements essential for the for
nation of the Cosach."
Bonds Will BE Sold.
Tentative plans call for the sale OF
long-term bonds in the United States.
The Cosach, which is the trade name
for the Compania Salitrera de Chile.
was recently organized after conferences
of Chilean producers with European
producers Of snthetic nitrates.
It Is to be capitalized at 5000, 000, 900
pesos or about $3.50, 100000 A half in
terest Immediately goes to the Chilean
government, which will terminate the
present export tax. The other half
goes TO the associated companies.

NEW YORK, october 3l.-"Never so

missioners when queried today on the
extent of election wagers.
Only three contests thus far have
produced actual cash wagerS and the
biggest bet is only $4,000, compared
with 100000 wagers two years ago.
Dwight w. Morrow, Republican, Is
4-to-1 favorite over his Democratic OPP
ponent, Alexander Simpson, in the New

favorite over his Republican opponent,

as Governor of New York. Louis B.
Brodsky, Democrat, Is a Stool favorite
over his two opponents, Mrs. Ruth
Pratt and Haywood Broun, Republican
and Socialist candidates, respectively
for Representative from the seventeenth
New York district, while Broun Is a

fortnight TO wash out practically all the
Improvement in the first half of Octo-
Der. In pig iron and coke, early Oc-
tober commitments were for the quar-.
ter, and hence the withdrawal of buy
ers is not significant.
On heavy finished steel, quotations
continue fairly stable, but on many
light products they are easy, and on
scrap they still are decidedly soft. There
Is considerable opinion that the at
tempt to stiffen prices will be helpful,
perhaps eliminating much weakness

Undoubtedly, some requirements for
steel will be created by the Hoover en-
ployment campaign, but 1t will take
little time for this business to reach
the rolling stage. Among the rank and
file Of the industry the consensus Of
opinion Is that whatever demand Is
thus developed will do little more than
offset seasonahle November and Deem
br recessions and that genuine upturn
cannot be expected before the automo-
tive industry revives, probably Spring.
The railroads still continue the most
active factors In the steel markets, and
while most Of this business is for 1881
rolling, the efforts TO create jobs may
expedite releases.
