w d. Lewis. president OF the Texas

Of the state can take the gins over

control Of the sale Of the cotton seed

Special Gable to The American.
LONDON, Nov. 15.-The drastic &C
ton of the Austrian Government
against the Canadian Pacific Railroad
Company, which at first aroused a
cry of indignation in this country, is
apt to lead to an official investigation
on very similar lines into the methods
of emigration and passenger agents
in England.
While Austria saw in the methods
of the Canadian Pacific a conspiracy
based on Russian gold to rob her of
young men who were to serve in her
army, and eventually perhaps fight
the armies of the Car, the complaints
emigration agents here is that
they use tricks worthy Of confidence
sharpers to lure poor and COMPARE
lively poor people into buying tickets
for trans oCeaniC paradises which
have no existence but in their own
Imagination.
John Burns for one is determined
TO have the Government introduce a
bill for the purpose of preventing
emigration agents from making profit
out of the deception Of the ignorant
poor by inducing them to buy pas
sages to countries where there is no
need for workers.

THE USE OF
CHRISTMAS CARDS

Never in the history OF the develop
ment of social customs have Christ
mas Cards been so much used as they
are to-day.
The custom is almost universal and
is extending each year; a fact that Is
natural when It is remembered that
his is the least expensive and most
delicate means Of conveying our
share in the sum total Of Christmas
happiness.
While ready made cards for this
occasion are offered for sale at many
places, these are not so much in
demand now as those which are
specially engraved. Cards for Christ
mas Greeting should express ones
individual taste in as great a degree
as a cordial personal greeting, and
this can only be accomplished
through the medium of a card en-
Craved in accordance. with your own
taste in arran~om~~t and artistic ef-
feet.
Tho most satisfactory results can
be obtained by consulting the j. T.

FISHER TELLS
REASONS FOR
BOND DECLINE
Increasing Demand for New Cap
itaI and Diminishing Supply
Causes Market to Sag.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Deputy
Comptroller Edmund D. Fisher de-
clares the most discourag!ng factor
in municipal financing, or in a4y type
Of financing during the past few
years, has been the rather steady de-
cline in the price Of high grade bonds
from causes entirely apart from con-
siderations involving the credit of in
dividual cities or Individual corpora
lions. Mr.. Fisher said this tendency
has been caused by the increasing
demand for new capital and its d.
mintshing supply. 1T is expressed"
he asserted, "by high interest rates,
high commodity prices, and lower Sc
curity values Fundamentally it has
been caused by a lessening volume CT
production and a waste of surplus
capital Relatively, prices also have
been affected by the conversion Of
fixed forms Of investment, through
banking loans, into check currency,
thus increasing the Spending tenden-
cy. with its corresponding effect On
prices.
Legislation Will Aid.
L
the United States will come in part
from the passage of pending Iegis-
latton. The reserve plan of the pres
ent national bank act, although it has
developed the time and call money
market for the investment banker
has also tended to bring frequent
periods of restriction in his business.
The investment banker is primarily
interested in the continuity of good
business, in the reasonable stability
of prices and in giving satisfaction
to his customers. Present practice
brings him none Of these desirable ell
ements.

money market. Under the influence

Length Of Issue Of Securities.
Discussing the length of issue Of
municipal securities, Mr.. Fisher said,
in part: There is much to be said
in favor Of financing loans required
for public Improvements on a short
time basis in anticipation of future
bond sales if these notes do not cover
a period of more than one year. This
principle was recently adopted by
Comptroller Pendergast of New
York. Short time notes Of this char
acter usually can be negotiated at low
rates of interest so that money for
public improvements can frequently
be obtained in advance of a bond sale
at lower rates OF interest than the
bonds themselves would carry
