FINANCIAL SITUATION
IN j. s. IS CLEARING
Bankers and Bond Dealers Com
mittee Decides Time to Resume

NEW YORK. September 10.-Further
evidence of a clearing of the financial
situation was afforded today when
the committee of bankers and bond deal
ers appointed to regulate the purchase
and sale of bonds announced that in its
Judgment the time had come to resume
operations.
The committee based its conclusion
largely on the fact that New York city's
financial needs have been taken care Of
satisfactorily, thereby clearing the
foreign exchange situation. The COM
Inittee is also of opinion that the placing
of securities by dealers with private
customers should be approved, where
the securities can be sold without dis
turhance. to the collateral loans situation.
The committee deprecates anything
tending toward public quotations or ere
ating an impression of an active or even
semi-active market.
The committee also discourages trans
actions with so-called bargain hunters,
and approves the closing out of the bills
pending under that head. 1t has con-
sidered the question of maturing obliga-
lions Of cities and corporations, and be-
lieves that the present situation does not
warrant any attempt to issue longtime
bonds. but that all refundings should be
accomplished through short-tinle finance

In case of shipment of a new crew

INDIAN ATTENDANTS
OF KING OF BRITAIN
Royal Custom Since Queen
Victoria Was Made En-
press of India.
From London Tit Bits.

From London Tft-Bits.
The fact that King George received at
Buckingham Palace recently four Indian
orderlies who will be in attendance on
his majesty at state ceremonies during
the season. IS Il reminder that 1t has
been the custom for many years, particu-
Iarly since the late Queen Victoria was
made Empress of India in the seventies.
to have at the English court Indians of
high caste, usually relatives of powerful
potentates. to act as orderlies and at
tendants to their majesties.
The custom really arose from the de-
sire of Indian princes to learn something
of English life, although it has been sug-
gested that the wish on the part of the
authorities to impress Indian royalty
with our power and resources has had
not a little to do with the continuance
of these periodical visits to the court of
high caste Indians. And there can be no
doubt that the close personal relation
ship between the Indian princes and our
royal family which has resulted from
such visits has done much to improve
the relations between this country and
India.
Queen Victoria always liked to have
her Indian attendants about her. and
a glance at pictures dealing with the
events of her reign will show that she
was invariably accompanied by her Or
derlies from the east.
The late King Edward. too. whose voy-
age to India in the winter of 1870 IS
brought him into close contact with the
chief Indian vassals of the British crown.
had great Partially for Indian at
PENDANTS and orderlies. and it is an open
secret that the honor of attending his
late majesty for d season was much
coveted by the sons of Indian rulers.
In Il certain sense these visits form
the completion of their English educa-
ton. for the majority of the Indians seen
at the court have been to our colleges
and varsities for their early training.
The custom, which really has for its
object the cementing of the bond of
friendship between Britain and India, is
carefully observed by King George and
Queen Mary whose visit in 1911. when
they attended the durbar. and Delhi was
proclaimed the capital of India, aroused
much enthusiasm. AS !; matter of fact,
his majesty made himself so popular dur
ing his visit to India that it was with
the greatest difficulty that the orderlies
at present in attendance upon him were
selected from the number who wished to
spend a season at the English court.

worth 5000. Each of the three contract
stations IS. 20 and 81, carries a five
hundred-dollar stock daily, besides Il
daily allowance of $500 In stamped en-
ve;opes They are now doing. it is claim
ed, but one-thrd of the business Tor
which their capacity fits them.

There are drug store stations around
town, it was explained, that are doing
far more business than the Pennsyl-
wanna avenue stations and the belle1
was expressed there will never be a
time when they are congested or I'M
able to take care of the demands. The
main office, it is declared, in its new
location now does 100 per cent of
the amount of business 1t did in It's
Pennsylvania avenue location. the reg

formed that the Russian invasion of East
Galicia was all part of the strategical
campaign of the Austrian department of
war 1t was intended, the people of vi
emma have been told. to induce the Rus

into the steppes and morasses of Russia
Continuing, the dispatches from Vienna
relate that Lemberg was not taken by
the Russians by force of arms, but sur
rendered to them after the Austrian
troops had left. The Galicians are said
to remain confident.

LOAN DETAILS COMPLETED.
Strong Foreign Demand Expected
for New York City Issue.

NEW YORK, September 10.-Comple-
ton of the details connected with the
new city loan of $100.000,O0O was the
noteworthy feature of the day in the
financial district yesterday. Just what
proportion of the entire amount will be
taken by foreign interests Is a matter,
of conjecture, but indications point to
strong demand from that quarter.
Local banks and bankers committed
to the loan regard the notes as an ex-
cellent investment at this time, because
of the unusually large interest yield,
and applicat ons from that source prom
Use to be sufficiently large to reduce in
dividual allotments to small amounts.
Advices received from various cities
suggest that the municipalities are
likely to avail themselves of the
methods adopted by this city to refund
maturing debts 1t Is virtually fore
gone conclusion that in every instance
where this is done renewals or new
loans will be negotiated at higher inter-
est rates.
