Much American Capital Invested In Mines of Chile South American HepuMic Second Only to U. S. in Copper Production New Railroad to Be Built. By HOLLAND. Soon after the summer cain in December in South America, Amer ican railroai builders who recently departed (or South America will be t work constructing a railroad from Bolivia which will connect the Argentine railway tyatem with the railway linra of Bolivia. I'cru ana northern Chile. Already capital has been found m the United Mates with which to pay for the construc tion of this railroad. Our own cap ital, oru own railroad builders, our own railroad equipment will repre sent this important transcontinental line. When completed it will be the second transcontinental railway line in South America. One was con structed some 20 years ago whose western terminal is at Valparaiso and the eastern terminal is Ducnos Aires. Hhnrtly sfter thla road will completed It provided tha quickest, although (ho longest, rnuta from Chile to the United Ntatea. A bUKlnosa man of Valtiaraiao rould, asd many of them did, travel by thla road to Iiurnoa Aires and (hare taka a steamship, not (or the United rJtataa, but far Boutbampton, ftngland. At that Kngll.h port another steamship waa tak en and thua a passage was made by rroaalng the Atlantlo twice and lower Bouth America one, to New Tork City, much more rapidly than would have been possible by any other route. Inveatsnents In Chile. The Panama Canal has changed all thla and It hue made and will rentlnuo to make poaalhla very large trade rela tione between the western coast of South America and especially Chile and the United States. Already large Investment of American oapltal haa been made In Chile. Mora la hereafter to be made, some within a year. The latest estimate la that approximately $35t.0.0oo of American capital haa been Invested in various undertaking In Chile, principally mineral. There la the American Smelt ing and Keflnlg company and a branch of the American Anaconda Copper Min ing company which hava already con atderably developed eome of the copper properties In Chile. In fact, Chile, chief ly through these American Induatriea la now second only to the United Statea In . world production of copper. American Capital la Copper. The leaden In our copper Industry In tend to continue developing Chile copper properties. They hava already discovered that Chile contains a larger amount of reserves than any other country except - the United Statea. These reserves are soon to be exploited. They are estimated at about 8, 000. COO. 000 metric tona. So also, Charles M. Schwab for the Bethalem company Is operating and will speedily Increase- the operation in Chile Iron. One deposit of Iron ore. which Is , said to be as large as any other known deposit In the world, will be worked by ' American capital, tha ore being shipped by way of the Panama canal to a point on the Chesapeake bay where It will be smelted and prepared for manufacturing purposes ay the JBethelem Steel company. The Bradan Copper company Identifies large American Investments in copper properties In Chile and the Braden name has recently bean Identified with tha con struction of an electric railroad In Chile representing a Investment of some $10, 000.000, and with the apeedy development of the hitherto unexplotted very rich oil fields In sbutheaatarn .Bolivia. These are among some of the corpora tions which hava invested capital la Chile end which will continue to make largo Investments there.' - -. Chile's Wheat. There was a time when the world looked to Chile and to California for a . considerable Part of tha wheat which was reeded for food. This great nation on' the Pncflo coast of South America and the state 'Of California upon the .Northern Pacific coast cultivated and exported wh,nt Innir hefnr the, r,A,t h.It. nf , h northwest of the United States were open to cultivation. In fact, in time Cali fornia's wheat matched California's pro duction nf gold. Tha atate sent to far away countries wheat In great amounts, nnd o also did Chile. Now, however, the occupation of our wheat belts in the northwest and 'ha other sections of the country east af the Rocky mountains has brought about a change, California's wheat no longer constitutes a consider able Item In our export trade. Chile's wheat Is consumed almost entirely at heme. ' . " ' This American Investment of capital In Chile and the certainty that continued lnvestiment of that capital wilt be made, has stimulated . a large International trade. The United States needs nitrate of soda and Chile la the only country In the world In which this la found. Whether or rot the artificial production of nitrogen will affect this trade Is not yet known. ' - Trade Balance, in Favor of Chile. We buy miners.! products of Chile and import them In such amount as to con stitute the bulk of Chile's exports to the United States. Her nitrates form a chief part of her exports and after that, her copper. The trade with the United Stares Is somewhat In excess of 50 per cent of her total foreign commerce and is In creasing, There Is A visible trade balance In favor of Chile. We exported to Chile in 1920, commodities of the money value of 165.000,000, On the other hand we Imnnrteil fmm Chile srinriM whflRA mnnaf value was aboutS120.000.000. .Therefore, the total International trade wlht Chile was somewhat In excess of tl75.0OS.OOC The' apparent trade balance in Chile's favor was therefore S65.000.000. It Is probably offset by the so-called Invisible balance, because there are large returns on United States capital Invested In Chile and there Is the yearly Interest upon the loans which Chile has obtained in the United States. The beginning of the con struction by American capital of the new railroad In Chile and the organlzaton of the Chile-American association, which Is not commercial but educational. Justify the belief that our relations with Chile are to be greatly Increased and this 1s also to be the case with other South American nations, especially Peru, Argen tine and Brazil. , . .

Desirable corn fed yearlings as usual were popular and sold up to 111.00, while heavy cattle were rather dull with best grades selling under $9.00. Quality of the western range cattle waa not very good but both beef steers and cows were wanted at prices very little If any lower than the close of last week. Demand for stockers and feed ers seemed to be fairly broad , but the general trend of values was lower.

A break of c to la a pound was the result in the cotton market today of the railroad strike threst which adversely affected all markets and which by far overshadowed all factors in the trading In cotton futures. Th. i... of the market was tevertek and unsettled owing to the uncovering of numerous stop-loss-orders. Local longs, la deepen- non, inrew tneir nomings overboard at heavy losses. Some burins for a. turn developed on a scale down but prices went to ' the low for the day near the close after something of a recovery in the early afternoon. The market was under pressure from th outset. First prices were to 13 points net lower. After the first call there was a steady drop In prices. December sold off to 11.68c, or 6$ points net lower, before the second hour had progressed far, and other months declined to to 85 points under Saturday's final bids.

VJMlfc- J Chicago Grain By CHARLES D. MICHAELS. Chicago TrrbuBe-Omaha Bee Leaacd Wire. Chicago, Oct 17. The govern nient report was again a source of confusion to the trade today. The figures were posted in such a way as to confuse many in the trade and for a time the market' fluctuated back and forth under the various interpre tations of the report It was finally figured out that the report showed wheat in all positions 529,000,000 bushels, excluding 100,000,000 bushels for feed and seed requirements on farms, compared with 605,000,000 bushels last year. Stocks on farms are 318,000,000 bushels, against -447,000,000 bushels a year ago. Based on these figures it was estimated that there still re mains from 165,000,000 to 175,000,000 bushels for export on October 1. This caused selling "by longs and wheat finished 5?46c lower. Corn finished HlJ$c lower' and oats lly.c lower. Rye was A4'it lower and barley declined yic Pro visions weakened with grains. Wheat Was Heavy. Wheat had a heavy undertone. The principal factor was the lack of buying power. There was some good selling by eastern houses and by some In the trade. This selling wen thought to be reselling by exporters. The bulk of the trading was In Msy. Northwest and Canadian In terests were reported sellers against cssh wheat purchases. The Canadian situa tion savors of much weakness. Conges tion at the port of Montreal because of the lack of export demand Is causing grain to pile up at terminal markets and the glut is becoming serious. Local re ceipts were estimated at 90 cars. Corn had a heavy tone. Business was mainly la the May. Commission houses sold at the start, while local shorts took pronts after a moderate decline had been recorded. Later locals sold on the break in wheat. The corn situation is developing a better tone, with the reduc tion in receipts, nut tacg or. uemand ts still a factor. ' Bastern exporters are taking a little corn, dally, hut this Is be cause or tne relative low price it is being offered at. Domestio demand is tame. Country offerings to arrive were light and receipts were estimated at S65 cars. ' Oats are Off. ' Lower price levels were recorded In th oats market. The easier trend was oc casioned by scattered selling based on the weakness in the leading cereal and later additional pressure from a leading eleva tor concern developed. Best buying was In December, and this waa by a house which sold the May delivery against It Local receipts were estimated at 200 cara, - - Rye was relatively firm. No. 2 selling at H4c to 2c under December price. Sales were at 88 89c and choice No. 3 sold at 89c. : " Pit Notes. V i ,. Chicago. Oct. 17.

Hugo Meyer, president of the Getreide Commission, Ltd., Duesseldorf, one of the biggest grain Importing concerns, wno was In Chicago today, said: "EuroDe. esDecially Germany, harvested a bigger crop of wheat and rye In 1921 than m 1920, which means that Germany does not have to import on such a large scale as last year. It has an ample stock of wheat and rye for at least six months' need and our German mills will not buy now or hi the future large quantities at any one time, in order to put In reserve stock, and will buy only -from hand to mouth. It Is impossible for any miller to keep large -stocks, owing, to the defla tion of the German mark. In prewar tmu one ton of American wheat cost about 160 marks e. 1. f Hamburg; today our miller has to pay at least 6,000 marks. Regarding corn and, otner leeaing siuns Germany can uso good quantities, as h, onA rattle are increasing. ' Every thing, however, depends upon the further development or 1 uerman currency. year Germany bought 111,040,000 bushels of grain, while this year It will buy be tween 50,000,000 ana &,VUU,VI'U ouuei.

SPRAQUE. Chicago Trlbune-Omgha Bee I .eased Wire, New York, Oct. 17. Today's fi nancial markets would have been lull of interest even if there had been no "strike order on which to specu- uate. Demand loans on the stock exxchange fell to 4 per cent, the lowest rate since July 28, and, ex cept for that day's 3 1-2 per cent quotation, the lowest since the au tumn of 1919. Sterling advanced again very rap idly while German marks scored an other decline, greater than that of any single day this month, and at the same time silver, bullion rose to the highest price since last Novem ber. Market Is Steady. Wall street, with Its eye fixed on the railway stocks to see now tns inreaien ed railway tleuo would affect the mar ket naturally paid less attention to these other Incidents than it woum usuany have done. The Interest in the course of the railway shares was legltimste; this was one of theoccaslnns on which the stonk market maV safely be aasum- 'ed to express the views of experienced flnsncters. Retarded In that light, the day's move' ment Indicated little uneasiness. That the railway sharea would decline at the opening was a foregone conclusion, where news so ; complete'' unexpected had ar rived since the market closed on Satur day. But the significant fact about the day s course oi prices was mat wnen them. ''nver-Sundav" selling orders had been executed, with resultant decline of 1 to 2 points in active railway stocks, the pressure ceased and most of them closed at a fractional recovery. Not Much Interest. As a matter of fact Industrial shares lost as much ground as the railways; but the day's business was only slightly larger than last week's dally record. In Its attitude of composure, the stock mar ket fairly reflected the genera) trend of opinion regarding the railway strike. The absence of any sign oi active sympatny by ether organisations, their rather evi dent disposition to stsnd aloof until they see how the public views the brother hood manifesto, and the hints of nego. nation even in brotherhood circles, do not create the atmosphere which accom panies a successful strike. Every such order as that of Saturday afternoon has dangerous possibilities which it is not wise te ignore. But there are at least some signs of this one fall lng flat. - , Ne,w York Honeys.
