apparent plentifulness of capital for

1t is not necessary to assume that
the rubber craze" is based upon such
purely visionary expectations of profit
as forced up prices of shares in the
historic South Sea bubble" of the
early eighteenth century. The enor-
nous increase in the worlds consump-
ton of rubber, due primarily to the
growth of the automobile and electri-
cal industries, is a matter of common
knowledge. The search for new rub

may be a greater need of credit, and it
precisely then that the chief function
of the central bank of issue comes into
play. He suggested therefore that the

The duties of the Imeprial Bank to
the country came under discussion
from time to time and the difference
between its obligations and those of a
private bank Even the latter, it was
insisted by Doctor Riesser, were not
without the obligation Of considering
economic interests.

regions already known to be produce
tive goes on at a great rate 1t was the
thirst for the profits to be drawn from
rubber that earned unknown millions
for King Leopold and those who with
him were on the inside in the ex-
ploitation of the unfortunate natives
of the Congo. The difficulties of
transport, the steadily increasing de-
mand for the product of the rubber
forests, and the improvident destruc-
ton of rubber trees for the purpose
of immediate income have combined
to make rubber one of the most priced
of the commodities of modern COM
merce.
Just how far these considerations
justify the extent of the British boom
in rubber it would be impossible to
say In the first three months of this
year the applications for new capital
in London aggregated nearly $50OOOO,-
600, a sum greater by $1S0,0O0 1000,
than the figures for the corresponding
quarter of 1909, and more than half
the grand total for any previous year
in the history Of the London stock
market. How much of this new capital
was sought for rubber companies is
mere conjecture, but there is no doubt
that the proportion is very large,
1t is asserted in London that one
regularity of the rubber speculation is
that the money invested is the proper
ty of the spectators; in other words,
that the capital has not been to any
great extent borrowed from the banks.
However this may be- the contrast be-
tween the buoyant optimism of the
stock exchange and the muddle in the
finances of the Government is remark
able. The present craze for dealing
in rubber is accompanied by a marked
increase in the movement of oil COM
pany shares. It has certain resem-
blances to similar movements in the
past; for instance, to the boom in KAT
fir gold-mining stocks in the mid
nineties, and to various oil movements
in our own country. 1t is possible that
fictitious companies may also figure in
the rubber boom, and that losses may
be inflicted by undue initiation and the
overcapitalization of prospective pro-
fits, but there is no present reason for
comparing the situation with the "tuli-
pomania" or the craze for the cultiva-
ton of the mulberry, which brought
ruin to so many innocent and rash in.

GERMAN BANKING
LAWS REFORMED

WASHINGTON, April 2O-How
Germany met the crisis of 1907 and
how she has improved her banking
laws to meet future crises was the
subject of a special inquiry by an Off
cial German commission, whose hear
ings have been translated and publish
ed by the National Monetary Commits
sion.
The German commission consisted
of "a members and was thoroughly
representative BODY, including leading
bankers, merchants, landed proprie-
tors and professors of political science.
They took evidence from nearly 200
authorities, whose testimony was re-
ported, and they themselves engaged
in a discussion which forms one of the
most interesting portions of their re-
port
This investigation being based upon
| very recent experiences and its results
having been embodned in d revision Of
the banking law, presents many points
of special interest in the present dis
cussion of monetary reform in the
| United States. Some complaints were
heard in Germany over the fact that
during the crisis the Imperial Bank
was compelled to raise discount rate
to Z 1-2 per cent. This was a condi-
ton so abnormal in Europe that it
was declared by one of the members
of the commission to have been moth
ing short of usury."
The comparative financial isolation
of Germany as a result of the hostile
feeling against her in France, found
an zero in the declaration of Frieherr
Won Camp Massaunen, a member of
the Reichstog, that in time of diff
Guilty the Bank OF France always rush
es to the rescue of the Bank of Eng
land by furnishing gold, a thing that
the German bank can, of course, moi
reckon upon
Among the questions most seriously
discussed was whether change
should be made in what is known in
Germany as the note contingent, OF
the limA of notes which may be issued
upon a reserve of one-third in golC
without paying a special tax. This
limit of uncovered issues was, at the
time of inquiry- 472,S29,OOO marks
SIP, 5OGOOO).
1t was ultimately raised, as the re-
-1lt.o OF the investigation, to $4,000 coo
marks, with a new provision, not pre-
tou5ly known to the law for an ad,

FEATHERS FROM WILD BIRDS
Said TO Be Par Finer Than Those
from Birds That Are Raised
On Farms

Ostrich feathers, the wearing Of
which Is sanctioned by the Audubon
association. are supplied in large
qusntities by Tripoli-in-Barbary, be
ing brought overland from central
Africa BY caravans, and from there
sent to England and France and
then TO the United States.
The feathers are brought in BY
the Arabs in unassorted packages,
which contain various qualities Of
each kind, but as the dealers of
Tripoli are experts they buy sdvan-
tageously Of these mixed packages.
The feathers are then washed and
sorted bat areneiiher curled nor dyed
before they are shipped to Europe.
The process Of cleaning seems like
rough usage for 50 delicate an ar
ticle as a feather as, according to
Vogue, it consists Of a bath In soapy
water and a vigorous beating while
still wet. A handful are taken BY
the stems and slapped against the
floor with great force to bring out
the fues, which are the small feath-
era extending from the barbs, 50 as
to give the plumes a fuller and
richer appearance.
A good ostrich plume will have
two or three layers of feathers, and
it should have no transverse cuts
along the vane. The finest feathers
by far are taken from wild birds in
the Wadai and Darfur districts.
