Announcement of a rate of $1 a box for apples shipped throuch the port of Seat tle to European points Is generally ap proved by Yakima shippers who -export part of their tonnage by water. Addition of a short haul from Yakima to the coast at 16 cents makes the total $1.16. Taking this route means shipment under refriger ation practically all of the way to Europe. Shipment under Ice by rail to Atlantic coast ports costs 88 cents, and refrigerated space from there to Europe 65 cents, a total of $1.53, which leaves a margin of 87 cents in favor of the Panama canal route. Even with the same rate shippers prefer the Panama route because the fruit will arrive in better condition and should com mand 25 cents a box more at its destina tion. Total carload shipments from the Yak ima valley for the week ended Thursday, . August 2 & .wosa-,-584 -cars -.ver all -lines. This brings the total for the season to 1R88 carloads. Shipments for the week included the first carload lots of peaches from the lower valley districts. The heavy melon ahipment ia about over, a few cars a day colling from reservation points.

Tbe eastern butter market continued to tflimp at the opening of the past week. prices making a further decline of about 2c and trade being the dullest reported in months. Buyers got out of stocks and spec ulative interests watched for bottom. After the drop on Tuesday to below 40 cents on astern markets, a sharp recovery set In, causing heavy buying and a strong market Wednesday. Thursday and Friday. Buy ars then slowed up, acting more cautiously, and while the market closed firm the un dertone Is nervous and a further drop Is vidently expected, due to increased make. Receipts were about the same as the pre vious week, but above last year, and the at o rage movement is again holding its own. Fine butter is scarce again, but Is expected to be more plentiful as conditions are bet ter for manufacture. There was no newa cn the Danish situation. m The general firm condition of the San Francisco market continued unaltered. Al though prices did not advance as rapidly as the previous week, the net gsin was 2o on 92 score. There" was no let-up.

Coupon bonds of $1000 and $500 de nominations, registerable as to principal. Exempt from all Brazilian taxes, present or future. The Bonds Are Not Callable in Whole or in Part As a sinking fund, the Brazilian government agrees to provide a sum sufficient to buy $625,000 ' principal amount of bonds semi-annually during the life of the loan, which payments will be applied by Dillon, Read & Co., to the purchase of bonds in the .market at or below 105 and accrued interest. Any balance unexpended at the end of six months reverts to the Brazilian government. DIRECT LIEN ON GOVERNMENT TAXES These bonds, as follows, are the remaining offering of a total of $50,000,000, of which $25,000,000 were sold in the United States in May, 1921. They will be a direct obligation of the United States of Brazil, and will be specifically secured by a first charge on the consumption tax (consumo) and stamp tax (sello), which yielded ap proximately $58,963,000 last year, and, according to estimates, will yielcl $60,000,000 in 1921 ; also by a second charge on the government's receipts from customs duties. The total receipts from all the above taxes in 1920 were .approximately $127,759,000, on part of which there was a prior charge amounting to $4,035,271. Receipts from the above taxes are pledged by the government to secure the total of $50,000,000 twenty-year 8 gold bonds, due June 1 , 1 94 1 , of which the present issue forms a part. PURPOSE ' The proceeds of this loan are to be employed in part for the purchase in the United States of materials required by the government. DEBT , On December 31, 1920, the national debt of Brazil, both external and internal (converted into dollars at par of exchange), was approximately $1,000,000,000. of which $565,000,000 was external. A large part of this debt was incurred for the construction of government railways, steamships and other revenue-producing undertakings. On the basis of the latest estimate of population, this represents a totaL indebtedness of only about $33 per capita and carries an annual per capita charge of $1.85. These figures are exceptionally low in comparison with those for the '. principal countries of the world. The twenty-year 8 gold bonds, due June 1, 1 94 1, are the only bonds of the Brazilian government issued in the United States, previous Brazilian external loans having been issued in London and Paris. NATURAL WEALTH The area- of Brazil is 3,300,000 square miles, covering nearly half of South America. It is approximately equal to the combined area of continental United States, the United Kingdom and France. Its population of approx imately 30,000,000 represents half the total population of the South American continent. Brazil has vast natural wealth, and the increasing "investment of foreign and local capital is rapidly bringing out the nation's resources. Brazil is said to contain the world's greatest reserves of timber and iron ore, and has large deposits of other essential minerals. It produces 70 of the world's coffee, and supplies some of the finest grades of rubber, . which cannot be grown in the East, FOREIGN TRADE ' . The volume of Brazil's foreign trade has increased rapidly, and the balance in favor of exports increased from $52,000,000 in 911 to" $211,000,000 in 1919. Exports in 1920 were larger in volume than in any previous year, although the total value was less than in 1919 on account of the general fall in commodity prices. The United States is Brazil's' best customer, supplying about 48 of the imports and taking about 42 of the exports. Coffee makes up about 50 of Brazil's exports at the present time, and of this the United States has been taking about one half in recent years. The Central European- nations are now purchasing coffee in increasing quantity. Other im portant exports are rubber, cocoa, meat, tobacco and sugar. The largest packing plant in South America has recently been completed in Brazil. . , i All amounts shown above indicating; revenues and trade have been converted into dollars at the rate of 25 cents per milreis. a We offer the above bonds for delivery rvhen, as and if issued and received by us, subject lo the approval of legal proceedings by counsel.

A sweet-scented flow er may be perfectly pood toiiay. but worthless tomorrow, and still its temporary usefulness is reenft-nizi-d and acctptetl. On the other hand, a piece of machinery, a public work, a street or highway must be aood today, tomorrow, or after years of service. Tem porary usefulness is not enoutfh.
