ershtp of utilities Is extensive and leans for municipal improvements are numerous This not only assures the European dnvestor his interest but also extends the market for Imported materials. In recent years the prac- tice of stipulating the use of mate rials from countries loaning the mon ey for railways port works, etc., has increased. and this operates to restrict the field for American man11facturers, since American capital does not large ly enter the South American field.
 As to the feasibility Of tabIish ing banks in South America. MT. Hurley quotes the views of various bankers and business men, and then sum mardzes the methods by which such banks can be established as branches Of American national banks, banks organized solely for American busi- ness in South America, purchase of an interest in existing South Aanerican banks, and banks for investment and industrial developmet After discuss in conclusion, that it is obvious that various kinds of banking must be car rfed on by an dnstttuffon adapted to assist American trade, for it's busi- ness, like that Of European banks in South A1nerzea, cannot be limited to strictly commercial barlking. Bank ing services there are intimately con- nected with loans to governments and cities, with industrial investments, etc, which would not come under the operation Of the United States federal reserve act. The conclusion seems cor rect, therefore, that some of the bank ing facilities demanded for South American trade may have to be pro~ vided by some institutions outside the federal reserve system. Consequently large state banks and trust companies receiving their charters from states are 1rstitutions from which assistance may be sought in order that Anneri- can business men may get the same facilities as the Germans and the English receive from the hanks des- tab1tshed for the encouragement of foreign trade ----.---.

PACIFIC SALMON
 IN MAINE WATERS

One of the most interesting and promising pieces of constructive hsh- cry work now in progress in the Bu- ruea of Fisheries, Department Of Com merce, is the introduction Of the humpback salmon of the Pacific coast Into the littoraI waters of Maine.
 The native salmon of the New Eng land coast has become very scarce. and there is a noteworthy run only in the Penobscot river, where the bjl-s reaus conducts extensive operations ad-# dressed to this species. Owing to the unfavorable physical conditions tdams. poilutions. removal Of forests at headWaters, etc.) in most of the streams formerly frequenfed by the salmon, there is little or no proba abi1-s ity that this fish can ever be re-es- tab1ished. The hunpback salmon has therefore been selected as suitable substitute. It spawns near salt wa ter. and will find numerous farprable streams in which eggs will hatch and the young remain until ready for their short marine life. The average wei ght attained isssfiye pounds, but examples weighing ten pounds are sometimes taken in Alaska. When the fish is fresh-run from sea, the flesh is Of a rich red color. of delicious flavor, and a very satisfactory substitute for the Atlantic salmon
 The bureau has begun an annual
 
 west coast to the Maine hatcheries and is now distributing, in the form Of dngerlings. the fish resulting from eggs brought across the continent last year. The plants will aggregate about seven and a quarter millions, and the waters stocked. which have been spe- cially selected for the purpose. will include the following Maine rivers: Penobscot. Androscoggin, Pleasant, Danariscotta. Dennys, Or1and, Union Georges Medomak. and St Croix
 This work will be continued on large scale annually until the hump back has been firmly established, and g. great boon will thus be conferred on the fishing industry of Maine. Tn 1913 the humpback run in Puget Sound was valued at $4. 000. .oe0, the fish being used chiefly for canning. In Maine and other New England waters the hunapback will be in greatest demand as a fresh fish

CThe Barron Financial News Service.o
 New York, Aug. 7.-Reports that the British American Tebaceco Co. will be seriously affected by the war are not well founded. Less than per cent. Of the companys business is done in the countries involved in the war No business at all has ever been done by the company in Austria, France, Rus sia or England, and but a small tra de has been done in Belgium. Therefore the plan of making the German to- bacco trade a government monopoly will not hurt the Britfsh-A Anerican Co. The company has a cigarette fac- tory in Liverpool. but only flor export busine
 Gradual process is being made in unwinding the tangled affadrs of stock exchange houses. It is now believed that 50 per Qent. Of the transactions open at the time of the closing of the exchange have been closed This does not mean that half of the 1,3B0, 900 shares traded in a week ago Thurs day have been cleared, for greater progress naturally has been made in deliveries of odd lots than in the set t1ement of larger and more compIi-s cated accounts. A11 Of the larger com mission houses report customers pay ing their debit balances and taking away their securities These transac- tions hot only assist in straig ghtening out the brokers books but also reduce bank loans on stock exchange coI1at- eral.
 With the exception of copper, spell ter and lead metal prices have scored sensational advances in the past week.

Sixty-ive cents a pound has been bid for tin in New York as conn pared with a previous high record price of 50 cents Metal interests say that there is not more than 20 tons of Straits tin than can be purchased here Further advances are looked for. Antinony has advanced cents to 12 cents a pound. No large spot holdings can be obtained here and the trade is apprehensiye as to when fur ther supplies will arrive from China the silver market is nominal as ql1o- tations have disappeared Producers say, however, that the price may go to 60 cents an ounce owing to an in. creased foreign demand for coinage purpeses.

CoNGREGATIoNALIsM.

The first Congregational church was established in Salem, Mass. on this date, August s, in 1929. MT. skeiton was the ordained pastor and MT. Hig-
 gonson was the teacher. It was not
 until the following year that the first church in Boston was built in Charles town. Tn 1851 Roger Williams was ap- pointed assistant to MT. Skelton in the
 ministry of Sale1n,s pioneer church,
 but, asserting his views of religious toleration, the independence of con- science, of the civil magistrates, and the separation of church and state, he
 was obliged to resign and withdraw to the Plymouth colony. Tn 1884 the Rev. Samuel Skelton died at Salem. being the first minister Of the gospel to go to heaven from New England. In the meantinSe Roger Williams had re- turned to Salem, and gained many ad- herents, but he was soon forced to leave and sought refuge with the In dfans who were more tolerant than the Salem Christians. Later the witch craft delusion and the persecution of the Quakers marked the strength and fervor of salem orthodoxy. In their opposition to the Quakers the people were not wholly without excuse, hoM- ever as on one occasion 1.-two young
 married quaker women walked naked through the streets of Salem, as a sign of the nakedness of the land

HOLDING THB TOURISTS.
Germany's Rule of the Feldwebel is to
 Blame



 The way Germany walks over private rights where her VII interests are con- cerned is both annoying and exasper- ating. Her decision not to permit chance foreign soJourners to leave Germany at the present time is de- signed to catch those Germans Of mil itary are who have been living In other countries, but who, happening to be in Germany now. would rather get out than take the Seha1lee of being shot to death in the army There may be a few hundred of these, and in order to catch these relatively few unwilling soldiers, Germany makes a general order that all foreign travel Eers, men, women and children, must remain in. that country until a new or der is issued. It is through such in- considerate and arbitrary methods that Germany makes herself disIiked.
 The Germans themselves call this the rule of the Feldweb beEthe rule of the Misrepresentation they are so used to it that they sometimes forget to com plain about it. Foreign visitors soon become conscious of it, however, and partieraarly those from the United States or England.
