TWO METHODS TO
HELP u. S. BUSINESS
Vice-President Hurley of Federal
Trade Commission Declares in
Statement Suggesting Plans.

Washington, July 1O.-Vice- Chair
man Edward N. Hurley of the Fed
eral Trade commission, in a state
men yesterday suggesting plans by
which the commission may give con
structive help to American business,
emphasized two methods which he
considered of particular Importance.
"One of these said Mr.. Hurley, in
his statement lis to aid the bust
ness men of the country in obtain
ing the additional credits to which
their business operations may en-
in establishing standard system of
bookkeeping and cost account. The
two are interdependent."
The commission has in mind, Mr..
Hurley announced, divided the coun-
try into zones and maintaining in
each, experts In accounting, costs
and manufacturing upon whom man
ufacturers, merchants and business
men may call for advice and assis :
lance in establishing economies.
I'm European countries, manufac-
turers and merchants, aided by their
governments, have developed high
state of efficiency, which enable them
!. to sell their goods in the markets OF
the world The Federal Trade COM
mission desires to do what it can
to help bring the American manufac-
turers and merchants non equal terms
with these foreign competitors in or
der. that we may be able to get and
hold our share of foreign trade
when there is completed within
tn commission the organization for
siding business, any manufacturer or
merchant, on request, may receive
(a) an approved form for presenta-
ton to his bank when seeking credit;
(b) a form designed to show accur-
ately and concisely his assets and liza
bilities, stock on hand, etc.; (c) 4
form of double entry bookkeeping
adapted to his class of business. as
well as I'D form and method Of
arriving at costs, also adapted to his
line Of business. All of these sample
forms will be simple in character
and can be supplied by the local prin .
ter, 1t is hoped that the different
banks throughout the country will
carry supplies of these forms for the
benefit of their customers.

Most Important Problem Of Day,

New York, July 10.-Again
the war asserted its depres-
sing influence upon this market. ana

activity of the steel trade.
This week the tendency of prices

wards; partly owing to liquidation
connected with the British war loan,
and partly owing to the apprehen-
sions incident to our relations with
Germany and Mexico. The decline
was accelerated by short selling and
renewed activity on the bear side.
Some OF our railroad shares were also
affected unfavora bly, by poor earn
ings; Foreign selling was of course
necessitated by preparation for the
huge British war loan, the size and
terms of which are already familiar.
subscriptions aggregated over $3,-

terms accompanying this loan arc

portion of this offering may possibly
be placed in this market but the
takings will not be large. and are
likely to be confined to a few big
financial institutions, as American in
vestors are not likely to take readily
to foreign securities at the present
time. British bonds, especially. one
or two year notes, would be more
readily absorbed. Some other means
of settling European debts will have
to be found than our subscriptions
to long term foreign loans; and the
urgent necessity of protecting nation
al credit, and this at no distant date.
1t has already been proposed tho
foreign bankers should make liberal
collateral loans to foreign holders OF
American securities and then transfer
such loans to this side. In effect thi.
would mean that American bankers
were accepting foreign holdings as
collateral for loans made on THIS
market How far this will alleviate
a trying situation remains to be
seen. But European Obligations in this
market are reaching such an amazing
sum that it is doubtful Ii this means
will entirely satisfy. In some form
or another we shall probably lie
obliged to give Europe extensive Gre
dit, until time and more normal con-
dftions have been attained in which
to facilitate a settlement.
Underestimate Financial Effects.
If those of ultra-optimistic tenden>
cies have underestimate the duration
and the appalling consequences Of
this war; it follows they have also
underestimated its financial effects.
As for the end, that cannot be ex-
pected until one side or the other is
thoroughly exhausted. The best ss-
Inmates are that the struggle will COS,

Due to Foreign Selling.

The weakness in railroad shares
was mainly due to foreign selling,
especially in st. Paul and a few other
standard stocks. At the same time
American railroad earnings, outside of
a few eastern and transcontinental
lines, are not satisfactory in spite Of
better rates The adverse influences
are dull business; diversion of traffic
through the Panama canal; slow
movement of cotton; effect OF the
Missouri Pacific collapse, and the
financial condition of some of the
weaker lines. 1t may be that these
mishaps and the new British loan have
been fully discounted for the time
being; and they are cited merely in
explanation of this weeks fall in
values. On the favorable side of the
account is the steady growth of ac-
tivity in the steel industry, which IL
continued will soon run into a veritable
boom. Under either peace or war the
American steel industry must benefit
for some time to come. When peace
arrives there will be an immense d.
mand for tools and semf-fabricated
steel for reconstruction purposes. For

and a general scarcity of skilled labor
will be utterly unable to meet re-
cuirements; all of which will be of
advantage to the American manufac-
turer and exporter. Our textile trades
also continue fairly busy and the gen.
eral condition of business, though
cuiet, is sound. The government crop
report was better than expected. con-
sidering the lateness ana GOODNESS OF
the season. Abundant moisture, how
ever, in June has had q beneficial ef-
feet. Allowing for ordinary deteror-
alton during remainder of the growing
sc ason, the outlook is for ample crops,
including cotton, and good prices for
the American farmer, upon whom
Europe must depend to a greater ex-
tent than usual for food during the
coming year.
Caution Is Necessary.
For the time being caution is neces-
sary in all financial transactions. Our
relations with Germany and Mexico
are in exceedingly uncertain and
sensitive stage. The scene shifts daily

problem of the day. financially con-

debt to the United States. If Eu-
rope cannot pay In merchandise; IL
we will not take her bonds In large
amount. and If foreign holders are
unwilling to part with their Ameri-

diminished considerably; it being
estimated that over $500, 100000 have
already been returned to this side,
