STERLING CHECKS
ONCE AT 1913
Henry Hentz Recalls the Days of
1867, When Exchange Was
Really Low.

When sterling exchange checks got
down to 4.79 about ten days ago, the
statement was general among bankers
and dealers in exchange that the rate
was without precedent in the history OF
international finance. The nearest sp-
proach to the price any one could seem
10 remember was a rate of 48l back in
the dark days Of 1907, which was more
nominal than real, because everybody
then was afraid to buy checks on Lon
don.
There have been lower prices than
4.79 for sterling checks-much lower
but II took Henry Hentz TO remember
them. Mr.. Hentz is head Of the firm OF
Henry Hentz & Co., commission mer-
chants, which has been doing business
under the same name since 1855. In
letter to 1.-THE Financial Chronicle" yes.
terday ne recalled that in the panic OF
1857 sixty-day bills on England sold IS
low as IS, equivalent to a price OF 20 So
to the pound, as rates are quoted now
In those days sterling quotations
were based upon a price Of 81 44.4s,
which had survived from Colonial
times. In normal times bills sold at
big premium on this figure, ranging
from 108 to 1924 per cent OF II, loe
corresponding to $50. Gold export
point was l09h.
In his letter Mr.. Hentz said: Our
ing the panic Of 1857 very low rates
for sixty-day bills on England (the
style for remittance at that time and
for many years sfterward) prevailed,
particularly in New Orleans. 1t was
reported that sixty-day bills on the

death of Charles F. Hoffman, who rep

him if he could confirm these figures.
He could not recall them, but said he
knew that bills, with shipping docu-
ments attached. at sixty days sight on
England sold as low as 20, which. on
the basis of the system OF that time
for quoting sterling, would be equiya-
lent to SO 33 per pound

COMMISSION TO MORGAN
Bankers Get 1 70 Per Cent on
S10O,0O0,000 Bond Issue.

J. P. Morgan & Co., as fiscal agents
of the New York Central Railroad
Company, will receive a commission OF
IA per cent Of the par value OF the
S100,O00,000 issue of convertible de-
benture bonds recently issued by the
company for forming the syndicate to
underwrite the issue. In addition the
firm will participate in the commission
of 21a per cent which goes to the syn
dictate.
This information is contained in a
letter from A. H. Smith, president to
the New York Central stockholders
notifying them Of a special meeting on
April 20 to authorize the issue of de-
bentures and an equal increase in the
company's capital stock for conversion
purposes. Mr.. Smith points out that
the company is to have the benefit of
all commissions on directors subscrip-
tons to the new bonds. He adds:
ITO the extent that profits shall be
realized by the syndicate in excess of
its commissions, the same shall be
divided equally between it and the
company. No commissions are to be
payable except in respect and to the
extent of such bonds as shall be actu-
ally issued"

COUP THAT FAILED

1t was not the shock of arms, but
thirst, that threatened to force the
devoted city into surrender.
For months the enemy had hurled
their lines against the fortress, only
to see the gallant troops retire,
decimated, baffled by the strong earth
works that promised to hold out in
definitely. And until the city fell the
forward march of the victorious army
could not continue.
| General Lamarche was desperate.
He could not leave the fortress in his
rear untaken and continue his ad-
vance toward the capital of the en-
emy, for that would mean that his
lines of communication would be sew
cred. And behind those walls the en-
enly was reforming, ready to renew
the war in all it's pristine vigor.
| But for months no drop of rain had
fallen. The springs within the city
had run dry. The river had been
| damned and diverted by the besieg-
ers. And there remained hardly three
days supply of water.
That the city was in need of water
General Lamarche knew; but he did
not know how near it was to surren-
der. And every days delay was worth
a thousand men to those within.
1t was at this juncture that he gave
audience to the man who had begged
for an interview daily during the past
month.
Let the fellow come in," he said
reluctantly to his aide. well, sir?"
he demanded, as the ragged, wild
looking fellow stood before him.
"My name is Durand," said the
man.
General Lamarche started slightly.
'The aviator?" he asked
Durand bowed his head.
Lamarche, like every Frenchman,
knew about Durand. He had been one
of the foremost men to develop the
dirigible gas-balloon. While others

Gravel Improves Roads.

Where gravel is abundant roads may
be greatly improved by spreading a
layer of the same on a central space
in the road. This space should be
not less than say twelve feet wide
If the gravel is suitable, two to three
inches of it will tend to firm the road
bed. Of course the ideal way where
the materials are suitable and the
expense can be borne is to remove the
earth from this central portion and
nearly fill the depression with small
stones. Then cover with two or three
inches of earth and over this spread
the gravel. A good road is thus made
and one that lasts, but this can only
be done where such material in plenti.

The second step is to make a gravel
road, when travel increases or funds
become available, by applying several
inches of sharp, clean gravel after
dragging and rolling the earth road.
This can be done in most places for a
few hundred dollars a mile, and main.

dollars a mile.
When the gravel road is outgrown,
it forms an excellent foundation for

BOSTON MAN
TRIES SUICIDE
AT GREENVILLE

Greenville, Me, Aug. Civilian
Goldspring, 65 years cid. who lives in
a Boston suburb, attempted to kill
himself here Thursday afternoon by
firing a revolver bullet into his head.
He was walking toward the Y. NJ. c.
A. building and was about 10 rods dis
tant, when he suddenly drew a re-
volver from his pocket and fired, aim
ing at point above his left ear. His
life was probably saved by the fact
that the bullet came at an angle and
glanced off.
Goldspring was at once rushed to
the hospital in the Y. NJ. G. A: build
ing. where it was found that his skull
was fractured. 1t is believed that he
will recover. A telegram was sent his
daughter in Boston informing her Ct
the affair.
George Beers, a Bangor travelling
man, was standing but a short dis
lance from Goldspring when the shot
was fired. and was one of those who
helped the injured man to the hospi-
tai.
why don't you let me die? I've
wanted to for a long time" Gold
spring said as his wound was being
dressed by the doctors.
