PRIVATE HANDS LOSING GRIP
 ON THE CANAL
Shipping Agents and Local Bankers Are Raising a Storm of Protest Against Government for Infringe mcnt Upon Privileges
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1spArcH1

] PANAMA, July 27-The publication ' of offers by the canal authorities to | look after all matters pertaining to the | interests of ships in canal waters and thus practically replacing the many shipping agents on the isthmuS has aroused d storm of criticism and re- sentiment among the latter. Their mum her has been augmented by the several banking houses in Panama and Colon since the Panama canal judiciary off cers also are prepared to look after the tolls payments without the intervention of banks and bankers.
 In d pamphlet just issued by the Panama canal for the information of shippers and containing sailing direc- tions which win enable the shipowners to avoid having an agent on the isth- mus, it is especially declared doing business through an agent on the isth- mus never facilitates vessels passage through the canal"
 Quoting from the last issue of the Canal Record. which contains an art icle on the same subject. it is stated. In fact the interpretation of a third party in the arrangements for a vessel which is simply passing through the canal is liable to result in confusion and delay" It is then pointed out that the Panama canal and the Panama railroad working conjointly have per fected simple and adequate methods for handling all such business as pur- chasing and delivering stores. water, fuel cables. mail and payment of tolls.
 The local bankers object rather heat edly to the statements in the same pamphlet and issue of the Canal Rec ord wherein the canal officials declare it is unnecessary to employ local bank CTS to look after tolls payments. thus saving the small commission that would acrue to the bankers. The ramphlet outlines methods of making deposit with the various assistant United States treasurers in the United States from which tolls can be paid. either direct to the collector of the Pa rama canal. or through the aid of the Panama railroad
 With the opening of the canal and the consequent increase in shipping in Canal Zone ports there has been an in crease in the number of steamship agents The same holds good regard ing hanks. several new ones having been established by both foreign and local capital in the terminal cities.

REASONS WHY
 SPANISH LOAN
 MOVED SLOWLY
Growing Deficit. Lack of Confidence in Ministry and Fear That Country Would Be Drawn into the Entente
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1srArcHl

MADRID. July 27-Spanish treas usy statements for the first six months Of 1915 show very clearly some of the financial difficulties of the country at the time of the failure of the $150000.
 900 loan, and the consequent cabinet crisis of June twenty-second. While the books of the treasury show an in
 crease of receipts over any previous year they also show m increase of eX- penditurc which, when taken together with the interest that must be paid on Spains $1,S14.27O,000 debt. regularly produce a deficit To meet this was one of the principal reasons for trying to float the recent unfortunate loan.
 The total receipts for the first half year of 1915 Were $134.S16,6O2 as against a total for the same period of last year of Sl17.s56. .464. exhibiting a nominal gain of $2G.960.13S in the na- uonal revenues over last year. But in this same period this year there have been S36, 524. $50 of treasury obligations to meet in addition to ordinary, nor maj expenses. with the result that, on the whole. the Spanish treasury is ac- tually behind S9.564 SIP in comparison with the first half year of 1914
 Had it been possible for the Dato ministry to float it's s150. .0O0. 900 loan. it could at least have deferred the day of reckoning until better times. Pub lie opinion in Spain seems to agree that tho abstention of wealthicr invest ors from subscription to the loan was partially caution. due to war condi- tions. and partially politics. due to the fear that the Dato ministry was dang erously close to the quadruple entente powers and might at any time try to drag Spain into the war.

 BOTHER CANADA

CHICAGO. July 27.-The financing of war orders placed by foreign gov ernments in Canada has raised many problems. There has been no trouble in arranging the financing of the British orders. but. those of Russia and France have given trouble. The Canadian banks and the Dominion Sovernmienis are aiding as far as they can But the manufacturing facilities of the Dominion are limited The bankers are wary over the pur- chase of foreign securities
 In the purchase of railway equip ment by Russia.s some of the financ- ing was done jointly by the United states and Canada, but this country has made no loans to Canada, hay ing q war basis. However. Canada has been finding rather ready sale of it's municipal bonds in many other classes of securities in the United States.
