so sound is the present condition
Of American finance that this very
heavy foreign selling of our best sc-
curitics is being digcstcd here boy our
own investors easily and at rising
prices.
Thrice within n month a British
warship, changed into a treasure snip
and conveyed across the Atlantic, has
brought $50 600, 600 to $4,000, 600 In
gold and securities TO America. The
precious freight has been brought TO
New York boy special train, preceded
by q 'pilOt,' and watched by more
armed guards and high railway Off
Cials than attend any mOnarCh-so
much more carefully do men guard
gold than human life.
The largest of these shipments,

only O drop in the bucket of debt
which Europe owes us, and which Is
increasing $4,000, 600 on balance be-
tween sunrise and sunset of every
working day.
There is another extraordinary fca-
turc in the situation. British mcr-
chants have always proudly made out
their bills to Americans in pounds
sterling, which they have always con-
sidered the best money in the
world. French merchants, from both
patriotism and habit have made their
price lists I'm francs, just as the Ger
mans do in marks.
American merchants who ordered
goods three to six months ago I'm Eng
land, or France, are now paying for
them with less money than they con-
traCted to pay! This is because il
costs from 3 to 20 per cent less in
American dollars to buy the same
amount Of foreign money now than
il did six months ago Thus 100000
worth of British pounds sterling at
current rates of exchange cost only
1914, 900, 500, 600 worth Of francs only
$4,000. and 500, 900 worth of marks
only $751; Rates have gone of
lato even lower.

almost disappeared from circulation
i'm France and England and Germany
because the governments are hoard

New York bankers do not wish the

Special to The World.
BLACKWELL, Okla, Sept. IS
The fact has Just developed that for
some time biologists of the Carter
Oil company have been working
secretly in the oil field directly cast
Of Blackwell and in the tier of sec
lions north of this city on a line east.
Now they have completed arrang-
ments whereby it becomes the pos
SCISSOR of almost three hundred acres
Of land. On top of this m the
announcement that the concern in
tends to drill a test hole within the
next thirty days, If fact as soon as
the rig can be shipped to the field
and the work started. Within the
next sixty days this concern will have
at least three wells drilling in the
territory. The first location, while It
has not been announced at all, will
in all probability be in section
9-27-1e.
The Carter company has all of this
section under lease and the major
portion Of their holdings are near it.
A producing well in this section
would, in a way, prove up the biggest
part Of the territory they now own.
Most Of the deals in the local field
were made by G. II. Summers, who
has been IN Blackwell for the past
three weeks. Mr.. Summers has been
covering his movements to a great OK
tent and it was not until he had Sc
cured most Of the available acreage in
that Section that the fact became
known that he was mixed up with
the Carter people and that they had
serious intentions regarding that part
of the field.
Others Have Acreage.
However, Lloyd Thompson, the 10l
Ranch company, william ~Freydein-
berger and one or two others have
some acreage which will come in with
the Carter stuff. The Alta company
and Hudson company represented
here by x. w. Ingham Of Pittsburgh,
Pa. have some stuff, but it is some

Some idea of what became Of this
enormous increase of imports may be
obtained from a glance at the increase
Of certain manufactured articles Of
these two classes of raw materials.
For example, the exports of white
cotton cloth in the first six months Of
each year have jumped from $273,-
Isl, the figure of 1914, to $|3,4O3.5lO
in 1915; C]orduroys and similar stuffs
have gone from $7,72O to $2,219,5 500:
piece goods and underwear from
1865, 600 TO $3,1S4,5OO; stockings,
gloves and cotton knit goods from
$l20, O4G to $Sl7,715.
In the field Of wooden goods the
figures are equally surprising. The
exports of wooden yarns in the first
six months of the year have risen
from Sal, SIS in 1914 to $780, SOC;
wooden blankets from $5,975 to Sc
979,597; wooden knit goods from SIC
5S5 to S3,132, 0O4. But wooden goods
with an admiXture Of cotton have ad-
yanced in SPANS export even more
in prOpOrtiOn-frOm $102, 994 in 1914
for the first six months to SIS, 3O5, $50
for the same period of 1915. In sum
the balance of excess Of exports over
imports in the field of COttons and
wOO,ens was, in the first half of 1914,
$3.50, O59, while this year in the
same term 1t has amounted to SEQ

lHoboken Seamen's Home Closed,

Shelter in Churches.

Following the discovery Of a third
case of diphtheria In a week IN the
German Seamen's Home, in Hoboken,
DR.. Joseph Stack, Of the Board of
Health Of that city, yesterday ordered
the institution closed.
Fully 500 German reservists are al
fected by the order, which will work
oreat hardship upon them, as the Sea
mons Home has been their only place
of refuge since the beginning of the
war. ~. ".
Most Of the men came to New YORK
IN August. thinking 20 be able TO get
back 10 fight for their fatherland. I'm
able 10 get work here, they soon were
penniless and dependent upon the char
itv of their fellow countrymen.
Several weeks ago the two nlgnt
schools in Hoboken were ordered closed.
This also was a hardship for the Ger
mans many Of whom utilized the OPP
nortunity Of learning the language,
history and customs OF TINS country
h. attending the schools.
The Rev. Henry Brueckner, pastor
of the Seamen's Home, said last night
that ne did not know what provision
could be made. Two Of the German
churches in Hoboken were thrown open
last night as a temporary shelter.
In closing the home DR.. Stack de-
clared the health and wellbeing OF
Hoboken were at stake and must be MS
first consideration.

persons.
Naturally the greater number OF the
paWnbrokers' customers are recruited
from the ranks of the extremely poor
classes, who are compelled to live from
hand to mouth. In case OF sickness or
III fortune the first friends to help
usually is the pawnbroker.
A fact not generally known is that
the pawnbrokers frequently cooperate
with the police in arresting crooks and
thieves. II is estimated that at least
a fourth of all thieves arrested are
trapped through the efforts Of pawn
brokers. To receive stolen goods, even
il he does not know that they are
stolen, means distinct loss TO the
pawnbroker. because the police require
him to return the goods without cost.
His business will also suffer loss on
account of the i'll repute which at
taches to it through dealing with
thieves.
The schemes which are being worked
upon pawnbrokers by persons in need
of money are many and ingenious. 10
Guard against loss. the pawnbroker
naturally must be constantly on ms
guard which makes him cynical and, as
some people think. hard hearted.
But the fact that he comes constantly
into contact with the most pitable
side of human misery makes him not
invulnerable TO its appeals. and several
