lOW RATE TO
Apple to He Shipped From Interior at
Total Charge of $1.16 a Box.
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.

Jimp in Prices Han Been Doe to Heavy
Production.
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. In
the scarcity of top scores, but medium and
nndergrades were fairly plentiful. Dealers
turned to storage goods, which were -used
freely, and holdings were reduced 134.320
pounds during the week, as compared with
a reduction of 182,661 pounds for the same
period last year. Small shipments of out
side butter reached the San Francisco mar
ket and one car from Utah at the end of
the week. New Zealand butter was offered
at 89V4c e. 1. f. San Francisco, which means
45S4C with the 6c duty added, but dealers
could not be Interested at that price.

Uoiiedl States of
20-Year 8 Non-Callable External Gold Bonds
Dated June 1, 1921 Interest Payable June 1 and December 1 Due June 1, 1941
Principal and interest payable in New York City in United States gold coin at the office of Dillon,
Read & Co., fiscal agents of Brazil in the United States. 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. . ,

WHAT IS
DEPENDABILITY?
Webster defines It as beinsr:
Trustworthy, unfailinp. reliable.
It means not only the present, but
the future. 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.
