bers, was specially fine and great

country and actual want.
FRANCE

While not so fortunately situated.
France is still in a strong financial
position. That France was not
caught mapping is evidenced by the
enormous gold reserves which she
has built up and which alone are
now more than double those of Ger
many. French industry, to be sure,
has suffered severely, and her for
eign trade has never amounted to
much; but her people, like the Eng
fish, have vast sums invested in for
eign securities, which may soon be
used to purchase foodstuffs and 9TH
er necessities of life. Moreover, the
sums of gold which have been hoard
ed by the French people ever since
the money scare caused by the Bal,
kan crisis have excited worldwide
comment. Certainly, in view of these
facts, a money famine in France can
not soon be expected.
RUSSIA
Russia has followed much the same
plan as France in her war prepara-
lions, namely. she has planned for a
long rainy day" and has piled up
gold reserves which nearly equal
those of the French. Certainly, the
enormous army which she has in the
field is a tremendous expense, but
there is very little danger of the
fighting being carried otno Russian
soil, so that she, like England, has
a great advantage in this respect.
Her country, moreover, is so large
that in only a small section is indus
try greatly affected, and her great
coal mines and oil wells are a con-
tinuous source of wealth. These fac
fighting being carried onto Russian
is not so far inferior to her allies
in financial resources as we are led
to believe.
GERMANY
But what about the Germans?
Certainly it is not consistent with
their wonderfully scientific nreDaras

HAVE THE WARNING POWERS FINANCIAL
RESOURCES TO KEEP ON FIGHTING?

BY ROGER w. BABSON
Banker and statistfcian and student
of international economies.)
In nearly every war in modern his
tory the banker has held position
second to none. Not only is it a
problem for nations at war to pay
off huge debts after the war is over,
but greatest of all is the problem of
RAISING, at the moment, the vast
sums which are necessary to carry
the contest to a successful finish.
When we reflect that the cost of
the present war is over $40, 900
every day-a cost more than four
times that of the Russo-Japanese
war or double the Franco-PrusSian
war-and that if it continues for only
nine months the total cost will equal
the civil war, which last four years,
we may well ask, How is this pro-
digious sum to be raised, and, most
important of all, which side will be
able to pay the longest?
The European nations have real
lied the importance of this question
and have been making tremendous
efforts to strengthen their positions.
The United States, moreover, has
been a heavy contributor to this
preparations. Large shipments of
gold have been taken from the coun-
try during the past year, much OF
which has cost the importers dearly.
This gold, supposedly, was placed in
the respective government banks.
ENGLAND
While England's bank reserves are
comparatively low, she has a great
source of supply in her South African
mines and other investments abroad.
Her foreign trade and industries are
but very little impaired. Little by
little the financial strain in this coun-
try is easing, so that before long she
may be able to realize on her vast
holdings of American securities, or,
at all events, thew can be turned into

Willing to Decorate

A Dutchman who arrived in the United States on Decoration day and, noticing the flags flying and the people going to the cemetery with large punches of flowers, he asked what it meant.
 Why this is Decoration day." said one, don't you know what that is?'
 The Dutchman confessed that he didn't. The man then ex- plained it.
 Isn't there someone at rest in the cemetery whose grave you would like to decorate with flow. ers," asked the man?
 The Dutchman shook his head and replied: Dose people vot graves 1 like to decorate are not dead yet"

Knew the Place

There is an amusing story told by the bishop of Yukon, who is now on a visit to this country.
 He once made long journey to visit remote tribe of Indians, hardly any of whom had ever seen a white man before. One of the members of the expedition took with him gramophone, thinking it would interest the indians. It did! When it was set going they all gathered around it in. wonder. They were rather frightened to go too near while it was talking and singing, but when the record was finished they crowded up to make a closer inspection.
 Finally an old chief, getting down on his knees and peering into the trumpet whence the mys- terious voice had come, muttered:
 Where him come from?"
 Far, far away" was the reply; From a place called Chicago"

Kansas City Market Letter
(By J. A. Rickart, Correspondent)

Kansas City Stock Yards, June 8, 1914. Closing cattle sales last week were 10 to B cents above Monday on killing grades. Plain heavy steers showed least activity. The army worm in Missouri, and fears of drouth in various localitis, weakened prices on stockers and feeders 40 to 75 cents. The sup ply today is 7ooo head, market on killing cattle steady to weak, and weak to lower on stockers and feeders. Good to choice natives sold at S.85 and SEQ today, and prime handy weight steers would go little above 9. Bulk of the native steers to killers sell at 7. 90 to 8,65, and any weakness in prices today was made up for by good fills. Veal calves are stronger, best around 10, stock calves lower. Prime stockers sell at 7.5o to 7.75 and useful cattle at 6.75 to 7.25. A good run of Missouri stock is here today, including 28 cars off the Milwaukee and special train of 10 cars from King City, but dis tant territory is being drawn on to make the modest total supply, a train of Y cars of Western Slope Colorado cattle being the chief contribution of this kind today. The latter sold at 7.75 to SIS. Eight cars of Western Nebraska stock arrived over the Union Pa- cific Short Line. About "A cars of Colorado and Western Nebraska sugar mill cattle are expected to- morrow. Owners of these cattle have tested various markets re- gently with repeated shipments, but Kansas City salesmen have outdone rivals at other markets in their sales, hence they get the en- tire shipment this week. Quaran- tine receipts are B cars today, market fully steady, offerings in- cluding north Texas fed steers at 7.75 to 8.1o, and low grade Okla homa grass steers at 6.s5 to 6.6o. Hog receipts today are 75oo here, but run of 45,ooo at Chicago up- set the apple cart, and prices are mostly 10 lower, top 8.I7R, bulk 8 to SIS. The power of the con- suming public to absorb hogs at range of prices above eight dol- lars is dependable only when re- ceipts are very light. May receipts at the leading markets combined, were IS per cent short of May last year, ,and 40 per cent short of May, 1906, the heaviest May on record at the big markets. Progress to- ward normal supplies will natur- ally be attended with declining prices. Native spring lambs gained 40 to 50 cents last week, and are holding it, quite number of sales today at o.5o. Native ewes are worth 4.25 to 5.25, wethers up to 6.1o, yearlings 7. Goats are 25 cents lower today, good brusher Angoros at 40, and slick haired Mexicans at $50. Texas muttons are steady today, some ewes at 5.25, choice wethers worth 5.So, some yearlings and and lambs mixed at 6.75. Receipts are 1o,- 500 today, but light runs are ex- pected ahead.
