In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson & McKinon) NEW YORK. Sept. 28. —The supply and demand situation in tho sugar trade has reached a point whore expectations of any permanent change in price trade has almost beep abandoned. With the season of heavy consumption at an end and the prospeot of a heavy movement of beets setting in within the next fortnight, the unusually heavy stocks of unsold Cuban 6Ugar will probably intluenoe an extremely conservative buying policy for the remainder of tho year. Technical rallies from time to time, wo believe will be used to hedge the new crop and provent any lastirg upturn in values.

WHEAT MAKES SHARP BREAK Other Grains Fail to Follow and Remain Steady. Till United Press CHICAGO, Sept. 28.—Wheat broke sharply in opening tirade on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Contrary to weakness in the leading cereal, coarse grains were inclined to be steady. Discouraged holders dumped wheat into the pit at the opening gong. They took available bids and in instances cut prices to affect sales. It was apparent lack of aggressive leadership had chased buyers from the market. Lack of in( entive kept corn practically steady. Those who dropped out entirely wait the movement of new grain. Oats were without change. Provisions lost ground on cash selling. Chicago Grain Table —Sept. 28 — WHEAT— Close. Open. High. Low.

_ | OST people think of South America as lying directly __ south of North America, but this is not the case. If you were to go from New York City to the west coast of South America, you would travel almost due south through the Panama Canal; while if you went to Rio de Janeiro, you would travel east half way across the Atlantic Ocean, for it is nearer to Spain than to New York. In reality, South Amreica from the point of view of the northern continent is southeastern America. . The two Americas are strikingly alike in their physical features. The southern continent is only slightly smaller than the northern, being seven-eighths its size. Both taper to a point at the bottom, and have broad bulges in the north; but while North America bulges in the temperate zone. South America bulges in the tropics, where four-fifths of its whole area lies, giving it a vastly different climate and a totally different destiny. Each continent is traversed by a great mountain chain from north to south —the Rocky Mountains in North America and the Andes in South America and in each this backbone is near the Western coast. In both countries the mountains sometimes break into parallel ridges and sometimes widen out into high plateaus. The Andes far surpass the Rockies in grandeur, however. They are the highest mountain mass on the globe, with the exception of the Himalayas, and Mount Aconcagua on the boundary between Chile and Argentina Is the highest peak in the Western Hemisphere.

The Andes are also richer Id mineral wealth than the Rockies, but they have one great drawback. Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes are frequent among them, and sometimes destroy whole cities. In many places people live in houses only one story high, because houses of thi* height are less likely to fall, and are less dangerous to the inhabitants if they do. In both North and South America there is nn Independent mountain mass on the eastern side, the Brazilian Highlands corresponding to the Appalachain system. Between the v tern and eastern ranges on both iJatinents is a great plain, that of the southern continent being drained by the mighty Amazon, the greatest river in the world, which discharges more water into the sea than the eight largest rivers in Asia. The valley of the Amazon in th<* torrid zone is for the most part e' vast unexplored jungle covered with rich forests of valuable woods, adorned with flowering vines, and carpeted with an undergrowth so dense that the rubber gatherers have to chop their way through with an ax. A large part of the world's supply of rubber comes from this Amazon basin, in addition to beautiful. ornamental woods —brazilwood for dyeing, conchona for medeeine, and many other products. Since there are only two seasons wet and dry, plants grow all the year around, and bud, flower and fru: may be seen on the same tree. Bird 1 ' of brilliant plumage and chattering monkeys fill the forests with color and sound, and reptiles, blood-suck-ing bats, and swarming ants are found.
