Greece is in a fairly prosperous condi-

vided war can be prevented. and that is

Europe. 1t would set back both Turkey

pride and sympathy with tn fellow

Athens is a beautiful city and is i'm

such pure architecture simple classic
lines being considered the most beautiful

vate fortunes been bequeathed for pub
lie purposes.
The residences are Of the same simple
classic style as the public buildings, and,
as nearly everything is built of pure
white marble and the streets are ma
cadamized with crushed limestone, the
city has glaring appearance that Is

| ing to do business in foreign countries
we must comply with the established hab-
its and customs. and deal with the buy
ers on the same terms that they are get
ting from our competitors in other coun-
tries. II the merchants of England,
France and Germany, who have been do
ing business here for centuries under the
present rules, can AFFORD to do so. I am
sure that our manufacturers and mer-
chants will be equally safe With resi-
dent agents to look after the credit OF
their customers and by drawing against
the bills of lading for at least portion
risk.
Trying to Interest Americans.
Il am now trying my best by letters
and kilograms to the Department Of
State to induce American capitalists to
undertake the proposed loan, ard the con-
tracts for sugar, ships, arms and railway
supplies which will go with it. The
Greeks would be delighted to hook up
with Americans, because every time they
try to do business with European syndi-
Gates a lot of political complications
arise to embarass them. For example,
when the government monopoly in petro-
leum was set up about a dozen years ago
the financial department started out to
get a supply of oil from Russia and
Roumania. 1t is cheaper, but it is not as
good American oil. and the consumers
would not have it, but the Russian gov
eminent took an interest in the affair
and it was difficult for the government to
buy anywhere else. but the contracts
were finally broken off and now every
gallon of oil used in Greece is bought
from the Standard Oil Company and is
perfectly satisfactory.
THE guarantee of the loan proposed is
perfectly safe. The government pledges
revenues which amount to four times the
annual interest required, which will be
about one million dollars. The credit of
Greece was never better than TODAY The
bonds of the public debt, which amount
to about one hundred million dollars, are
now selling at 81 and that will be the
upset price Of the new loan. After the
war with Turkey the drachma which Is
to the French franc, worth 20 cents in
our money. dropped to II cents, but today
1t Is worth more than gold One reason
for this is the enormous amount of
money that comes in here every year
from Greeks who have emigrated to
America and other countries and send
home their savings for investment. Mil
lions Of dollars are received every year
from New York alone and millions more
from London, Constantinople and from
hundreds of thousands Of Greeks who are
prospecting In Egypt, Asia Minor and
other parts of the world.

offered by private dealers in the market.
Just as cigars and tobacco are sold
through official agencies. There is very
amount of smuggling. This the treasury
expects TO stop and will doubtless be
able to restrict the contra band trade by
designating certain agencies at which
sugar can be purcha sed. Greece consumes
an enormous amount of sugar in making
sweetmeats and for other purposes. and
most OF 1t now comes from Austria.
About thirty millions of dollars will be
expended for ships. cannon and other
military equipment and railway supplies
and II Is proposed 10 offer such contracts

WEATHER AND THE CROPS
Government Bulletin Tells Effect on
Cotton and Corn.

Washington. D. C.-The weather of
the past week, as it affected crops, is
set forth in the national weekly
weather bulletin of the department OF
agriculture as follows:
LAS a whole, the weather during the
early part Of the week was too moist
and sultry over the principal corn
growing states, and during the mid.
die and latter parts it vas generally
too cold for the rapid maturing OF
vegetation. and some light to heavy
frosts occurred at exposed points,
"In the cotton growing states east
Of the Mississippi the week generally
was warm and sunshiny. Some heavy
local rains occurred in many portions
of the districts, but the average was
generG.Iy less than the normal, and
conditions were mostly favorable.

TAFT WILL NOT STEP ASIDE
Will Accept Nomination for Second
Term II Offered.

Beverly, Mass.-The publication o.
q story %purporting to come from Bev-
erly and announcing that President
Taft had decided to step aside as a
candidate in 1912 TO make way for
Col. Roosevelt, brought many inqui-
ries to the summer capital today. For
q time an official denial was consid-
cred, but it was decided not to dignity
the story, which is reported to be
without foundation, with a statement.
1t can be stated that there has been
n O change in President Taft's attitude
toward a second term since he told a
number of friends a few months ago
that he would accept a second nomina-
ton if his party desired to tender i
to him, and if that portion of the
American people represented by his
party seemed to want him.
