A REDUNDANCY OF MONEY.

Further expansion has been APP
parent this week in the general inter-
est in the market for securities,
writes Henry Clews, the New York
banker, in his current weekly financial
review. 1.-The news of a definite clos
ing of arrangements for the new
Anglo-French loan has been accepted
as an inflence of far-reaching tmpor-
lance. The terms of this loan as Of
ficially announced proved to be much
more inviting than had been expected,
and the prospects of a satisfactory
subscription have correspondingly i'm
proved. The announcement of the
terms of the loan and the indications
that it will be so successfully dis
tributed proved an added stimulant
for the so-called war stocks. Opera
tors were encouraged to believe that
the Improvement in the international
exchanges would mean the unre-
stricted placing of war orders with
American manufacturers so long as
the European conflict continued. But
there has nevertheless been a notice
able drift in the trend of operators
toward the more conservative invest
ment properties, particularly the rail-
rOaQS- Inc Qe1EAy III klllnS 1TOSC has
been a favorable feature so far as the
corn crop is concerned, and that class
of grain will shortly be moving in it's
various forms over the railroads on a
particularly large scale. 1t is not so
much the movement of the corn itself
that constitutes such an important
source of railroad traffic. 1t is the
various forms of manufactured pro-
ducts in which the corn is utilized that
is the important item.
Still another influence in the
weeks market has been the reports of
various combinations among the indie
pendent steel manufacturers. Definite
plans have not yet been announced.
There, however, seems some really
substantial basis for the reports. With
the continued expectations of Ameri-
can foodstuffs and all kinds of pro-
ducts the balance of trade will con-
tinue to move strongly in our favor.
This will undoubtedly encourage fur

rably reduced. Meanwhile the money
situation at home continues one of
great redundance. Thus far the news
of subscriptions to the $500,000,0OO
loan that are in prospect has not af-
fected money rates adversely. The
funds are not to leave the country and
to a large extent the subscriptions viii
constitute a movement of funds be-
tween banks and trust companies.
Nevertheless it is not unlikely that
when the subscription books are
opened there may be a temporary
strengthening of interest rates. This
feature is not likely to be more than
temporary and will hardly constitute
a depressing influence as a stock mar
ket factor. The days of sensational
advances in rates for money passed
when the new banking law came into
operation. Funds will continue avail
able for all legitimate purposes.
Lenders are, it is true showing some
disposition to put a curb upon the

orders. But this same restraint is
not showing itself in the market as

stocks being entirely outside its in

CHILD LABOR.

I'VE need a national law that will
keen all children in school until they
are &c." Mr.. D. H. Warner, one of the
largest manufacturers in Connecticut,
told a representative of the National
Child Labor Committee the other day.
Mr.. Warner is the head of the War
ner Bros. Corset Co. of Bridgeport,
who recently put his 1000 employees
on a 4S-hour week although the state
law permits him to operate 55 hours
a week. 1.-The manufacturer who en-
ploys children of IA or 10 does not
benefit himself because children are
not good workers." Mr.. Warner fur

the community because he harms the
child, and it is the good of the COM

turer, that must be considered in this
question of child labor. L never en-
ploy children under 16 if 1 can get
older workers because 1 consider the
years between IA and 16 the most
impressionable ones of a child'S life
and know that the factory influence
is bad one, no matter how careful
the employer may be. Those years
should be spent in school and in the
open, not in the factory where physi-
growth is stunted. If we have men
with a college education in the execu-
tive positions, it is equally necessary
to have a proportionate amount of
training throughout the entire force.
1 find it extremely difficult to get in
telligent girls for responsible position.
I have tried to train them but their
lack of education makes it impossible
for them TO go beyOnd a certain point.
1t is true, of course, that poverty
makes it necessary for some children
to go to work before they are 16.

exemptions to the 16-year limit for

Whence the Baronets.

of Salisbury suggested a scheme
whereby 200 gentlemen might be per-
suaded to pay f1O0 each for the honor
of being styled baronets, or petty bar

such step might give offense to the
general body of the gentry, the cynical
Salisbury replied: Sire, you want the

A man who owns a bull dog has no

Overworking your friends or your

Some men are looking for work,

Most of the statesmen are willing

You may have observed that a man

A breach of promise suit is usually
based on the theory that the tickle one
has the money.
1t is also difficult to convince far

eight O'Clock and get in a full day..
Many a worthy cause finds its

Blind as the white moth at the lantern 5

Have sent my soul to beat against the

The mariner will never touch the moon.
The moth Will die; and love against

Inc old desires shall light us into heav n,
Old failures shine upon the face of God.

agriculture is to be successfully car
ried out upon it. There is this amount
of land which receives low rainfall
and is at the same time not capable of
being irrigated AS population in
creases, it will be necessary to make
use of all this land unless the undesir-

but it may be used more effectively.
Kansas is using its opportunity to de-
