Deichman Reports Market in That Country for Every thing Made Here Except Shoes Gossip of the Street CK. Dnt&HMAN, United Stntcs consul to Itrnrtl, uliosr- lictideiuartorK in this city for n few days is the Corn Hxchnngc Nntiniinl Ttntik nml whose lipndqlinrlprs in llrnHl is the city of Santos, with n population of t, 000,000 persons, was pleased to hear of tlio quick sale o thn $10,000,000 0 per cent lioneli of tlip city of Uio dc Janeiro, llrnrll. Mr. Delclimnii said thec bonds nre not the first Itrnzlllan securities to be sold in America. Some jrurs ngo. he said, the head of n larse financial Institution in St. IiOiiK Mo., who had been offered nn iue of $5,000,000 city of Santos liortth. asked him what kind of a "joint" the city of Santos Is, and wan surprised to find it had n popu lation of 1,000,000, and. added .Mr. Deichman, "I told liim that I knew of fio men In the city of Santos, nny one of whom could take the whole issue, loik them up and forget nhout them." , Mr. Deichman is enthusiastic over the opportunity which lias come to American manufacturer to obtnin n firm foothold In Itrnril. In the first place, he said, the rirazlllans arc favorable to the Americans. They have had friendly business relations for years, nnd the fact that Rrarll has ex ported largely coffee and other products to the United States makes the matter of credits and exchange much easier than with other countries. They will buj (vcr.i thing I'hlladelpliia manufactures, except shoes, which they make thcmselcs with most modem machinery; but they will bus finished leather. "It will be a shame," he said, "if Americans allow this opportunity, which has como to them without nn effort on their part, where outers aie falling into their laps, to pas.s thioiigh indifference, nn opportunitj which other countries hnp spent millions to secure." Sir. Deichman sas the skilled workmau of Bra7il is as well paid aud lives as well as the American skilled worker, but lie did not think the lot of the unskilled worker is us good as the same (lass in the United States. The development of lndro-electric power, especially in Snntos nnd other latge cities, has been wonderful, virtually ever industrj using no other power; In fact, a smokestack is ti rarity, he said. On the subject of civics, Mr. Deichman told of a magnificent concourse or driving and promenade parkway which in twenty months was constructed through the citj of Kio, running from the ocean front to the back bay. a distance of more than two miles Three city blocks wide for thev whole dis tance were commandeered bj the city for the purpose. Two wide loulevnreli for traffic either way flank the sides, the (enter Leing parked with prome nades on each side of the parking. He said the ground facing this paikwny on each side is now occupied bj the finest buildings in the citj, and the sites were sold by the city at auction, bringing almost ns much as was- paid for the properties condemned. It was reported early yesterday that the $10,001,000 issue of city of Itlo de Janeiro bonds had been largely oicrsubt rlbcd, aud as a consequence allotments will be cut in proportion. Slower Stock Market Is Expected Brokers generally expect n slowing down in thp stock market tnduv. chief! from two causes. One is the following double liolichi , on vvliielt (ustomers will save interest on loans. The other is the unccitainty sur rounding the signing of the peace tientj li.v the Iluns. A broker remarked, when speaking of the continued strength and nctivitj of the maiket, that he wondered what kind of a market there would be if wealth persons, who hitvp been biiing heavily of late, could hae taken their piolits without fear of the iucome tux law. Senator Owen's Plan Approved by Financiers There was some interest shown in a statement issued In Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, retiring chairman of the banking and currenc committee, by financiers in this city. Manv of those who had read the senator's plan said there was nothing new in the principle evolved in it, but that the manner of placing it bcfoie the public was ieri clear and instruethe. Some of those who made rematks about Senator Owen's statement said his plans must undoubted! be ndopted in some form if I.urope is to be saved from bolshevism and anarchy. The fact that he agreed with the statements made bv Frank A. Vnnderlip. piesideut of the National City Hank, of New 'Vork, whidi were referred to in this column jesterdaj, was also commented upon. Those who (ommeuted on Senator Owen's state ment were inclined to think that this cotinti) will hear of worse conditions from Uurope jet, and cspceiull should the (ieinians refuse to sign the treat. The most importnnt lefercncc in Senator Owen's statement, nc(ordiug to n banker who is interested in seeing good commercial lelations established between the United States and eer. countr in the world, is the following: "M. own opinion is that there should be established immediately a tpijv powerful foreign finance corporation, witli ample capital with which to extend these credits on long time on the basis of Uuropenn securities, and that such a corporation should hac authority to sell its bonds secured by foreign bonds, foreign securities which are sound, as tho onds of foreign governments, foreign cities like those of 1'nris, lloideaux and Lions; tho securities of commercial s.widieatcs engaged in certnin productive enterprises backed b government securities wheneer anilable. aud b tli6 securities of well-known concerns engaged in pioductne cutei prises. "I have seen evidence that Italian import license boards and the French import license boards are at this time restricting imports from America, and Client Hritnln is pursuing the same polic, for the verj sound icason that no arrangements bine been made bv which to extend time credits which are essential to protect these people in their pin chases. "The lack of long-time loans bv America to these countries bus resulted in the stendil lowering-exchange with (Jreat Britain nnd Trance and Italj. Last week I observed that Italian exchange had dropped froni the former late of exchange of G.1S lire to the dollar to S 00 to the dollur, so that an Italian merchant btijing Ameiicnn goods on tjiis rate of exchange would be losing more than 00 per cent on each transaction. This is an impossible rate. The Ameiicnn mere hunt "does not gain bv this; the Italian merchant aud the Italian consumer suffer a dreadful loss." Bankers Hopeful as to Financing Rail Equipment Orders The conference of bankers, hdininistration officials and members of the Association of Itailroad Executives, to discuss thp uujs and means for financing the .$400,000,000 woith of railroad rqulpment ordered by the railroad administration, met on Tuesday, as stated in this column yesterdn. The settlpment of this importnnt matter, according to some bankers, is anxiously looked forward to, but more especially by the equipment com panies, which have not an yet received anywhere near tho full payment on the part of the government for the construction work undcitakeu at the lcquest of government officials.
