 The Boston exposition shows that the modern form of commercial paper, which is that made and sold by the large part nership houses and large corporations, does in every instance contain values.
 For if the tanning industry be taken as an example, there is need in this business for considerable delay between the time the hides are first submitted to the tan ming process and the day when they are ready for the market. The tanners must have money to meet running expenses, which in this business for the most part are represented by labor. This labor goes into the hides and is therefore true value quite as true value as would be the case were the purchaser of the tanned hides and skins to bay for them, as was for merly done, by notes running from 60 to 12O days, In the old days it was the custom of the vendors to indorse this pa- per and then offer it to discount at their banks. That is still the prevalent custom in Great Britain.
 Now American business methods are of a different kind. The vendors secure cash by selling their own notes. When their customers pay for purchased conn modities these funds are used to liquf- date the notes. The whole matter Is thor oughly explained by the resolutions pre-. pared by the Boston Chamber of Com merce and apparently is we'll understood in Baltimore, as it certainly is in Chicago It is of very great importance since the decision of the federal reserve board re specting standard commercial paper which may be rediscounted may possibly consid- erably or even violently change present.. day business methods. There seems to be. Al-- may be able to work out some convenient or acceptable compromise.

While the men of the financial district do not care to give detailed information, they all unite in saying that the plethora of money is so great at this time that large sums of American money are being exported. France is taking a great deal Of our money, probably covered py ex- change transactions, and there is reported to be an unusually heavy demand for American funds in Holland and to some extent in Germany.

Within B few. days after the kaul Lumber company had indicated that they wanted the matter settled. and the first opportunity I had l notified ono of their attorneys. Mir. Roy Stern, in whom I also have the utmost confidence. that l was entirely willing for MT. John Kaul of the kaul Lumber company, to take the matter and make a settlement between myself and the company, and I would sign a blank check for Mir kaul ot fill out for whatever sum he laid l ought to pay; that I had the utmost con fidence in Mir. Raul or MT. Stern either, and there was no dispute between us, and would not be, and MT. Stern has prom ised me to get the papers together, and for me to get mine together, and that will pay them on next Friday every penny found or claimed by them to be due them.
