discovered manuscripts concerning the

ida not hitherto noted by biblio-
graphers. ."The (Jarcia collection of the nni-
versity is rich in bibliography dating
from lbJt to the present said I)r
Robertson. "The collection is per-
haps the richest in Texas. Mexico or
nny other part of npanish-Amcrirn
within the I'uited States. The people
of Texas should be especially inter-
ested because its beginnings hark back
to Mexican and Spanish times.
"With regard to the history of
Florida a number of discoveries of
treaties anil pamphlets liave been
made which have not been noted by
bibliographers thus far. It must al-
ways be a matter of congratulation to
the university that within its library
is housed so importunt a collection as
the Garcia."

'ARfilXflTON. An increase of
6.7 per cent in production of nitrates
1 predicted by Brlttsn interests con-
trollinc the Chilean nitrate beds for
the year ending June 30. ll25ws com
pared with the rear tndea June o
1)124. when nroduction reached 218(1-
000 tons and 415 per xeut increase
over the 87T.O00 tons ot the preceuing
12 months. In the present production
year thev forecast 250.000 tons.
Th Kitrata Producers' association
of Ixindon owns and controls all of the
Chilean Product except 2!5 per cent
in the hands of American companies
according to information transmitted
to the bureau of agricultural econom-
ic. United States department of agri-
culture by Edward A. Foley Ameri-
can agricultural: commissioner at
London. Aiding the output of the in-
dependent) to that of the association
Sroductfon for the year ended June
. 1U24. reached 2.301.000 tons.
Total exports for the year including
that of the independents do not indi-
cate that tbe trade 1s keeping pace
with oroduction. Durine the 1923-24
production vear 2.210.000 tons were
sold against 2515.000 during the pre-
ceding year. The slight drop in sales
together with n sit nifieant increase 1
in .nroduction had the effect of sug-
gesting that a slight cut in price jn
Chile would be appreciated it is said.
Accordingly when the monthly export
allotments for the current year were
made out a prioe scale appeared
which begina. at $42.80 per ton in
Jiilv and runs up to i4A by January J
IMS. The average nrice of the pre-
ceding 12 month was $44.20 per ton
f.a... Chile. To take advantage of
the new low rates orders poured In to
the extent of 1235000 tons for deliv-
ery up to the end of January. 1025
equalling CO per cent of the sale for
the whole of the preceding 12 month.
