TRADE FIELD NOTED
America Declared to Be Over
looking Great Opportunities.
EUROPEAN METHODS CITED
A. K. Vejar Tells Boston Commer
cial Men of Possibilities for ex
tending Business Relations -ATlth
Jfelghbors to South.
After a 10 weeks' visit in New Tork,
Washington and other Eastern cities,
A. R. Vejar. ex-Consul of Chile and
Peru, has returned to Portland. Mr.
Vejar went East to fill an engagement,
delivering a series of lectures in Bos
ton and before various colleges and
commercial bodies, where, in a prac
tical form, he was co-operating with
the Northeastern manufacturers.
Mr Vejar says: "Never in the com
mercial history of South American
countries has the condition and future
of its foreign trade occupied so much
of the public attention as It does to
day. "South American countries require
manufactured products which the In
dustries of those countries do not. as
yet. produce, and the cessation of im
portation, which is beginning to make
Itself felt in those markets, is a new
problem In the acute crisis which at
present affects not only South America,
but the whole world.
"Among the countries, both European
and American, that might supply the
lack of foreign manufactures and con
sume South American products, the
United States occupies undoubtedly the
first place.
American Opportunity Noted.
"The commercial American influence
In the markets of the southern conti
nent might become very important,
especially in the matter of exportation,
of manufactures, which might substi
tute the European goods, of which they
are now deprived.
"We all know that the cessation of
European Importation has Increased the
orders sent to the American manufac
turers. Nevertheless, several factors
interfere at present with carrying but
successfully this great commercial de
velopment as rapidly and as efficiently
as is desired by both continents. In
the first place, banking facilities for
paying for the merchandise and the
produce undoubtedly are lacking, as It
is broadly recognized that the South
American trade with this country is
carried on principally by drafts on
London banks, and vice versa.
Knropeann Show Energy
"American capitalists are too timid;
they have a great deal to learn as
yet of the different foreign trade
utruggles, in which courage and plucky
npirit are necessary in order to assure
future lucrative results. Of course,
they are prevented by the vast require
ments of money in this country and
the colonies even Canada has great
economic dependence upon the United
States. European capitalists taave
launched out in South America with
enterprises which offer no immediate
remuneration, and in many instances
laumng Buuiciem measures or securi
ties; but nevertneless have thus con
tributed In no small degree to the de
velopment, civilzation, wealth and se
curity of many new enterprises. That
is why some of the leading nations of
Europe have succeeded in controlling
the commercial fields of South America.
"If the exporters and manufacturers
had saleshouses in the principal. .Cities
of South America, and would do busi
ness in the manner and on the terms
current in their markets, the North
American salea would be increased
greatly.
John Barrett Visited.
"At this time, when both of the great
continents on earth are endeavoring to
expand commercial relations, some of
these objects, and many others, must
be overcome before the North and
fcouth of the Western Hemisphere can
attain successfully the object desired
to a mutual advantage."
Mr. Vejar had a long visit with F. A.
Pezet, Minister of Peru to the United
States. Minister Pezet expressed the
desire to visit Portland in the near
future. Mr. Vejar also called on John
Harrett, director of the Pan American
Union, where he met Senor Francisco
J. Yanes, sub-director-general of the
same institution. Mr. Vejar sees great
er opportunities in the Pacific North
west for South American trade rela
tions than in the East, and declares
Oregon should avail herself of the pres
ent opportunity to gain a larger share
of the trade on the west coast of South
America,

SEWER BENEFIT IS BASIS
Payment of Repairs by Property
Owners Decided by Council.
Property owners, benefited by a
sewer improvement, must stand the
cost of repairs to the sewer or the re
construction of a portion of it in case
of failure. This was the ruling yes
terday or the City Council when it
was decided to pay for the reconstruc
tion of the Sunnyside trunk sewer
from the 130 feet west of East Second
street to the River, from money re
ceived from an assessment district.
Each property owner benefited will
pay a share of the cost which will be
about $20,000.
The action of the Council means vir
tually the establishment of an im
portant precedent. The Tanner Creek
trunk sewer, which is said to be in
such condition that repairs costing
several hundred thousand dollars will
have to be made soon, 13 a similar
case.

edge of Outcome of North
Sea Naval Engagement.
Wheat prices have none so high in the
Northwest that dollar wheat, which
brought Joy to the farmers soma time ago,
has now been almost forgotten. Sellers at
Pendleton yesterday received $1.10 for their
club wbeat and the same price, was paid at
Walla Walla for this variety. Not much
could be bought at either place, and else
where In the country farmers were boldlng
tight.
Extreme prices were asked by sellers on
the Merchants' Exchange and business was,
therefore, limited. Ten thousand bushels of
February club changed hands at $1.22. an
advance of a cent over Tuesday's best bid.
and some trading was also done on the curb
at a fraction better.
There was much speculation as to the
effect on the world's markets of the North

caution on the part of buyers on the ex
change, where bids were irregular.
rne barley market was firmer, notwith
standing some recession In speculative
prices at San Francisco. One hundred tons
of January brewing sold on the local ex
change at $26. an advance of 75 cents. The
oats market was firm but .quiet.
The London correspondent of the North
western Miller, writing under date of No

"Pacific flours are coming more into

TEN - CENT ADVANCE IX SUGAJt
All American Markets Rise With Resump
tion of Speculative Trading at w York.
A 10-cent advance In refined sugar prices
was announced by Jobbers in all the Coast
markets yestetjay. A similar advance took
place in the East. This is the second ad
vance that has occurred since the slump
began, and both have been small, whereas
the iecuaes have ranrd from 20 to 30
cents. On the 12th sugar prices on the
Coast declined 25 cents following a 15-cent
drop in the East.
Commenting on the general sugar situ
ation, willett & Gray say:
The assurance to the present extent of a
full Cuba crop, together with full crop pros
pects In Hawaiian cane crop and the United
States domestic beet crops, go some ways
towards annulling expectations of extreme
hlh prices during sugar campaign year,
although the competition for cane sugar. In
the absence of available beet sugar, for the
United Kingdom and France, will no doubt
cause an upward trend to prices following
me initial selling movement of first produc
tions by planters for financial reasons or to
secure some profits for financial reasons or
to secure some profits at the early begin
ning of crop making. We understand, how
ever, that the Cuban planters are in much
better shape as relates to money require
ments this season than they were last sea
son when prices were at and below cost of
production for a considerable time, and
found relief only by sales of several hundred
thousand tons for foreign countries at parity
value in those countries below the parity
value of Hamburg prices for Enrnntan
beets."

Reduced Volume of Offerings
on Stock Exchange.
MARKET TONE IS HEAVY
International Snares and Other
Favorites Close at Declines For
eign News Is F"actor In Trad
ing" Bonds Are Irregular.
NEW TORK, Dec. 16. The most signifi
cant feature of today's heavy and narrow
market was the pronounced decrease in the
volume of trading. Only at rare Intervals
was there any degree of activity and that
usually at the expense of values. Until the
closing hour, when the sagging tendency be
came more manifest, prices alternately
ranged slightly above or below the previous
day's close. In the final dealings moderate
offerings brought about another reaction,
most of the International list and other fa
vorites making new low prices for the cur
rent movement.
United States Steel common and preferred
were in this class, together with Union and
Southern Pacific, Great Northern preferred.
Northern Pacific, Canadian Pacific and
American Smelting. In addition four other
stocks of varying Importance Louisville
Nashville, Southern Railway, Mexican. Petro
leum and Republic Steel preferred fell to
the minimum level still enforced by the ex
change. The few gains shown at the end of the
session were among such issues as Central
Leather and American Beet Sugar, while
other stocks under "pool control" bore evi
dence of manipulation.
Foreign news played a part in the day's
events, news of the German navy's activities
in the North Sea .being received with some
apprehension and giving rise to fears of fur
ther European selling. More offerings of
Americans for English and German interests
were reported, but their volume was believed
to be very small.
Exports from this port for November
showed a gain of almost $14,500,000 over the
same month last year. Exchange markets
reflected little change In conditions between
this center and London, while marks held
steady.
In the steel trade an Increase of buying
for the coming year was the sole feature.
Some Inquiry for copper for domestic use
was noted.
Honds were irregular, speculative issues
going lower, with advances in a few high
class Issues. Total sales, par value, were
$1,480,000. United States Government cou
pon 4s advanced M per cent on call.

RAID INCREASES SALES
WHEAT MARKET UNSETTLED BT
GERMAN NATAL ACTION.
Bears Fljirure That Value Will Be Ad
versely Altered, ReEardleas of
Result of Conflict.
CHICAGO. Dec. 16. Uncertainty as to
what effect the German naval raid might
have on the demand for export shipments to
Great Britain led to some selling today by
nervous holders of wheat. In consequence
the market, although steady at the close,
was 3ta to c under last night. Both corn
and oats finished c to c down. The
outcome In provisions was irregular, varying
from 5c decline to a rise of 7c.
Notwithstanding that representatives of
seaboard exporters were ready buyers of
wheat during the decline,' pi-ices for the
most part tended downward, barring a little
show of strength at the start. Pessimists
argued that even if the German squadron
was immediately captured or destroyed the
fact had been demonstrated that other elm.
ilar exDedltlons by the Germans were not
impossible, and that the difficulty of ob
taining an adequate amount of ocean ton
nace for shipments from the United States
would be considerably increased. The bears
saw no Inconsistency In also urcrlng that a
serious naval defeat for the Germans In the
North Sea would likewise tend to cause lower
quotations, aa Indicating an early end of the
war.
Bullish cables were chiefly responsible for
the upturn with which the trade In wheat
began The fact, however, that the foreign
strength was said to be chiefly the result
of the United States Government crop re
port was a e-ood deal of a drawback.
Corn gradually softened under tho bear
ing Influence of wheat.
Oats took the same action as corn. Sell
Ine pressure came principally from scat
tered longs.
HiKher auotatlons for hogs carried pro
visions upgrade at the outset. Afterward
the market sagged owfne to lark of demand.

appeared to be inspired by somewhat easier
