Money Ia Scarce.

New York.-The money situation
is again causing grest apprehension
in Wall street. The banks have lost
over $8,500,000 during the week and
| il the loans increase $2,O0O,O 1000 the ex-
perts figure out that the surplus re-
lserve viii be completely wiped out.
There is talk Of the Bank Of Eng
land increasing its discount rate Of
i7 per cent next week, and this action
was in measure foreshadowed by a
big jump in sterling exchange today.
Bankers look for severe strigency
during the next ten days. Every ef-
fort is being made to repress specula-
tive activity until the crisis is past.
Bankers fear that Mr.. Hughes elec-
ton will be followed by a stock mar
ket boom, which will create demand
for money that win prove exceedingly
embarrassing. Predictions were made
today if this boom took place eau
rates would go to 100 per cent be-
fore November 10.
Secretary Shaw has given the bank
ers to understand that they can not
hope for any further relief froA. the
treasury at the present time. No more
gold can be imported under presnt
conditions, especially as the secre-
tary has withdrawn his plan to facili-
tate gold imports. There is little
doubt now that this plan was with
drawn at the earnest request Of the
Bank of England through diplomatic
channels.
In view of this fact, the monthly
circular of the National City bank,
which withdrew the largest amounts
from the Bank of England, caused
great interest IN Wall street today, as
it deals directly with this question. 1t
was in part as follows:
"We would undoubtedly have i'm
ported considerable gold this year had
that movement been uninfuenced by
treasury action, bat the device which
the treasury employed for the first
time last spring and again with such
exceedingly good effect this fall has
enabled us to bring in far more gold
than we would otherwise have done.
The imports Of the National City
bank were $29,O00,000. In connection
with the English complaint that we
were withdrawing gold from London
without due consideration to tle sit
uation there. It is Of some interest
to note that of the gold imported DUR
ing this fall movement by the National
City bank $14,O0000o came from Lon
don and 100000 from other points,
largely from remote centers. such as
Buenos Ayres, Sydney and Yokohama.

CHILD LABOR
Is LAW KILLED
HAS BEEN GIVEN KNOCKOUT
s. BLOW IN GEORGIA
ILLITERACY is GENERAL
Scarcely any Of the Children Employ
! sd by Cotton Mills Have Ever Been
to School. Law Applies to Those
Dndef Fourteen.

Columbus, Georgia. Child labor
aas been given knockout blow by
she legislation recently given by the
Georgia general assembly and which
has usl gene into effect.
Georgia has cotton mills and manu-
eacturing establishments scattered
from one end of the state to the 9th
er, and there are thousands OF people
affected by this legislation. Agents of
a0rthern mills are watching for its
effect, hoping it will in measure at
seast, overcome the advantage enjoyed
by the southern mills in securing la
Dor SO much cheaper than the mills
of the New England states.
That schools may be built for the
thousands of new pupils, who will re-
furnish by the mills, the child labor
law in it main feature applying
to chiluren under IA years Of age,
will not go into effect until January
/, 1908, though there is a provision
which must be complied with in 1907,
as d prerequisite to the employment
of such child. Any child seeking
work in a factory after January /,
1908, must show that he or she has
attended school at least twelve weeks
during 1907, six weeks of which must
have been consecutive.
There are, however, other provi-
sions of the bill which go into effect
Immediately. No child under ten
years of age shall be employed in
any factory under any circumstances.
No child under twelve years Of age
shall be employed IN a factory un-
less a widowed mother or disabled
father is dependent upon the labor of
the child for support. If such extreme
conditions exist, afidavits from the or
conditions exist ,afidayits from the or
file IN the mill Office, certifying full
particulars of each case.
Illiterary among the cotton mill
operatives of the south is SO common
that its absence is noticeable. Scarce
iy any of the children in Georgia have
ever attended school. The result is
that today, throughout the state, there
are hundreds of grown workmen who
cannot read or write. Under the pro-
visions of the new law, thousands of
children under fourteen years of age
will have to leave the mills during
the coming year for at least twelve
weeks of school, that they may gain
admittance as an operative in 1908.
Columbus, with string Of large
cotton mills extending three miles
along the Chattahoochee river, viii be
one OF the cities most affected by the
new legislation. Over FIVE hundred
children will be forced out of the
mills here, and the result will be bet
ter wages for mill labor.
Anticipating a heavy influx Of fac
tory operatives and their families to
take the places of the children who
are leaving the mills, small city has
been built just north of this city,where
wide streets and shaded lawns sur
round hundreds of small cottages that
are ready for occupancy. In the cen
ter of this city is the new Secondary
Industrial school, which opens Octo-
ber /, and will be devoted entirely to
teaching the children who leave the
cotton mills and ot.ers living in the
city, trades at which they will be able
10 find profitable employment in the
city.

BANANA FLOUR USES.
Good For Indigestion, But Not a Ri
val of Grain Product.

Ooou rOf IHUSeSC1On, BuS Not a Rl-
val of Grain Product.
Banana -four is cure for acute
indigestion, according to officials of
the Department of Commerce and
Labor. The product is much in de-
mand in England, says a report just
received from London. 1t is SO little
used in this country that statistics
of its manufacture and sale are not
collected by the government. Banana
flour was spoken of few years ago
as great discovery that was likely to
play an important part in competi-
t1on with cereal -four But the con-
clusion of the experts now is that it
stands no chance of competition with
cereal flour. The cost of manufac-
ture, which is put in the lowest fig
ure at $120 ton, exclusive of pack
ing and freight, seems to put it out
of competition.
At the same time the department
officials say that the flour has it's
uses and is very beneficial in cases of
diseases, and for infants and in
valids, and in acute indigestion.
What is needed is a cheaper method
Of manufacture if it is to enter the
market as a serious competitor with
grain -FOUR Washington Post.

For many years the expense OF rail-

OF growing alarm to tho circus pro

Is great. Several railroads have gone
to the extremity Of positively refus.
Ing to accept the business and 9TH
ers have made rates so high that
circuses cannot travel on their lines
with profit.
Mr.. Bailey appreciated the urgency
Of overcoming this condition long be-
tore his death last spring and had
eettled upon the automobile as the
solution. Before the electric and
and gasolene mode of transportation
had reached It's present high state
of efficiency ho once nearly decided to

when horses furnished the motive

the plan. His show took to the road

April with several experimental auto

their ability SO conclusively that next
year will see the canvas enterprise
moved from town to town by chauf-
feur and battery.
