VAbl'AHAISO. Jan. 1. Imports I from the United States to Chile have; Increased enormously in th? last four yeary. as shown by figure made public hero. In Chilean currency, they were valued in 1915 at 51,064,2Co pesos and in 191 at 203.451,j91 pesos (nominally a Chilean peo equals about 35 1-2 United States cents). The increase in imports in the United states has continued in 119 and they are expected to exceed those of last year. This gTowth in business between the cocunrtie.s is attributed to improvement in banking facilities, better information concerning buyers

and credit and the possibility of direct negotiation of drafts Instead of by way of Uurope. One leading Chilean merchant states that in the past five years'. North American business men have adjusted their methods of doing business so as to comply with the requirements of Chilean buyers. At present, he said, there were no difficulties worth mentioning In the way of this manner satisfactory to velopin In a manner satisfactory to both buyer and seller. Buyers, he said, rind the products sent to them are in fulfilment of their orders and sellers are satistied with the dependability of Chilean merchants.
