SILVER BOOM.
A great revival in the silver min
ing industry is in progress in Bo
livia, according to Alberto Palacioa.
Bolivian consul stationed at San
Francisco.
During the war, silver mining was
replaced by tin and tungsten, thou
sands of tons of which were sold
by Bolivians to the Allies. The low
price of silver during this period
caused many of the silver mines to
be abandoned, but with the return
of a demand for silver bullion and
consequent high prices, the silver
industry is taking on something of
its ancient aspect as the leading in
dustrial activity of the South Ameri
<an republic, Mr. Palacioa states.
Figures show the export of the
precious metal from Bolivia is now
about 30,000,000 pounds a year,
valued at $2,200,000. The famous
Potosi mine, which has been in con
tinuous operation for almost 400
years and has given up silver valued
at billions of dollars, now is being
worked at fullest capacity, according
to the consul's advices.
YANKEE GOODS POPULAR.
American manufactured goods are
in demand in Rumania. The stores
in Bucharest are doing almost as
great a business as in pre-war days.
France has been sending large quan
tities of goods into the country,
particularly light wearing apparel,
siik stockings, toilet soaps, and cos
metics.
Prices still are abnormally high.
One sees American shoes in the shop
windows at the normal equivalent
of $28 a pair. Any article stamped
“American” has a ready sale. Ru
manians are keen for anything from
the United States, whether it be
food, articles of wear, or manufac
tured objects.
“Why doesn't America send more
goods here?” the business man con
stantly asks. "There is a wonderfu1
field in Rumania for American com
merce. We would rather trade with
the United States than any othe!
country. We need your manufac
tured products, your automobiles
farm implements, gas engines
lathes, sewing machines, cash regis
ters, typewriters."
Canada is preparing <to send it:
products to Rumania. The Canadi
an government, following its courst
in Greece and Serbia, has lent Ru
mania fifty million dollars to pa,
for these goods.
MEXICAN TRADE.
A conference of exporters, im
porters. manufacturers, bankers
and merchants concerned with trade
between the United States and Mex
ico will be held at Mexico City foi
three days beginning February 11
at which time questions vital to com
meree between the two countries
will be discussed by experts. The
conference has been arranged by
the American Chamber of Com
merce of Mexico, Secretary W. F.
Saunders stating that approximately
4,000 invitations have been extend
ed.
The subjects to be discussed are:
Mexican sales methods and distribu-1
:tion; Mexican agencies and repre
sentations; Mexican banking facili
ties ; financing the exports of Mex
jico; shipping and packing merchan
jdise for Mexico, and trade marks
j for Mexico. The proceedings will
I be in English, but the report of j
the conference will be printed in
| both Spanish and English,
j “Commerce between the United
j States and Mexico is increasing,”
;said Mr. Saunders to The Associat
|ed Press correspondent. “In 191S
jit amounted to $245,613,991, and
| this year it will be much greater.
] As this commerce grows, trade prob
lems arise the practical solution of
which is of vital importance if the
j United States is to hold its present
j trade advantages in Mexico.
“To discuss these problems we ar
! ranged for a conference of trade
experts, the first of its kind ever
held in Mexico. In extending our
; invitations we have emphasized that
iwe wish to .have representatives at
j tend the conference who are really
jin a position to speak with authori
ty. The Mexican Chambers of Com- j
.merce are acting in full accord with]
jus in this project and we anticipate
’much benefit a; the result of this
get-together meeting."
WAGES IN AUSTRALIA
I .
j A fixed amount covering the cost
|of living for a man and wife and j
’the maintenance of their children is;
■ to form the basis from which all
rates of wages will be calculated in!
New So^th Wales.
j A bill, embodying this novel j
scheme for ending the “vicious eir
]
cle" of increasing living costs and
raised wages, has already passed the j
legislative assembly. The scaie of j
living costs is to be formulated by j
'he board of trade after an inquiry.
The maintenance if cr.iidren of!
weekers will be met by payments j
from i fund administered by the j
government. Employes receiving not !
more than $1 25 hoove the declared i
living wage xxill be paid tne full ‘
.am -unt ascertained to be the cost of!
'maintaining each chihi j
The fund is to be established by |
monthly payments from employers, j
each employer paying in proportion ;
to his average daily number of em-1
ployes.
A'o payments are due in respect!
.of the children of employes on :
j strike.
The bill will appply to practically '
all employes in the state whose earn-!
ings do not exceed $2,000 annually. 1
YANKEE COAL ABROAD.
Evidence that America is sun- j
planting Great Britain in coal mar- i
kets of South America and Europe !
is seen by the Shipping World (Lon-I
, don>. The paper attributes this to I
restrictions imposed on shipping that
'otherwise might be available for
! carrying British coal.
j “The result is that traders abroad
j who want coal are getting it from
! other regions,” it says. “The South
| American trade has fallen almost
! inevitably into the hands of ship
owners from the United States; but
more ominous still is the fact that
shipments from Virginia are comin;
almost daily to ports of Europe
Gothenburg, Dunkirk, Antwerp, Rot
terdam, Lisbon, Genoa and othei
ports of Italy are receiving Ameri
can coal at freight rates which onli
their urgent needs can justify. Evei
to Port Said American coals* hav<
been shipped.
“The question arises whether thi:
is merely a passing phase due t'
these present scarcity of tonnage
or whether these American ships an
the pioneers of a new form of en
terprise of the American continen
which is destined to become a per
manent feature of trade. It mus'
not be assumed that, with the in
crease of British shipping that wil
assuredly come in a year or two, thi
old lines of trade will so easily bt
regained. The river Plate trade ma\
to a considerable extent be writter
off.
“The greater proximity of Euro
pean ports to the United Kingdorr
will be an advantage to British ship
owners in their endeavor to regair
the continental trade, but it will b«
no easy task to break the trade con
nections that American competitors
are now engaged in forming.
The Scotch of It.
Two old Scotchmen sat by the
roadside, talking and puffing away
merrily at their pipes.
“There’s no muckle pleasure ;n
smokin’, Sandy,” said Donald.
“Hoo dae ye mak' that oot?"
questioned Sandy.
“Weel," said Donald, “ye see. if
.■e’re smoking yer ain bacca ye're
chinkin’ o' the awfu' expense, an' if
,-e're smokin’ some ither body’s, yer
ripe’s rammit sae tight it winna
draw.”—Tit-Bits.
A-t Is Everywhere.
“Luxurious tastes Riehleigh has
He has a Corot in his office.”
“That's nothing! I have a whistlei
n mine.—Boston Transcript.
