VICTIMS OF FALLING MARKET
New YerK, Nev. 12. Cables from
Argentina, Itrazll, Chile, Uruguay and
Peru, reporting serious financial con
dltlens In theso countries because of
unfavorable trade balances with the
United Stntes, were confirmed by
advices received here by various bankln:
interests nnd commercial houses wl

Seuth American connections. These
trade conditions, it was said, apply" with
eiual force te Cuba nnd most of the
Central American countries, where ad
verse trade balances have forborne
weeks reduced actual business almost
entirely te a cash basis,
"Fer all practical purposes," said
the representative of a New Yerk bank
with extensive Seuth Amerlcnn connec
tions, "the foreign exchange market
between this country nnd most points
south of the llie Grande has ceased te
function,
"The further rise of the American
dollar In Seuth America ranges from
twenty cents te thirty-one cents pre
mlum, nnd Is largely the result of the
moratorium new prevailing In Cuba
and seme of the Central and Seuth
Amcrlrnn renublicH. which are suffer
ing. In common with 'the rest of the
world, from the effects of the European
war."
Dealer In foreign exchange also-Cen-
firmed reports that many millions of
dollars of merchandise fthlppcd from the
United mates have been rejected ny
business houses in the CcjJ1 nnd Seuth
American countries.
Twe reasons arc advanced for the re
jectien of these wares' the first being
the apparent inability of Seuth Ameri
can merchants te pay the higher prices
necessitated by their own depreciated
currency. The ether reason Is Uie
falling market for most commodities In
this country, which has left the Im
porters of Central nnd Seuth America
nt a great disadvantage, especially in
finished textiles, many of which arc 25
