Il Is feared here that revolutionary
outbursts will occur throughout China
when the reports filter through to the
masses. The recent trouble at Shanghai,
when rebels attacked the arsenal and
seized a Chinese cruiser, was generally
considered a protest against reports

WEEK IN FINANCIAL CIRCLES

The stock market today stands out
as the prominent exception to the trend
Of American business. Though the
American public has more money to
spend than at any time since 1906, or
Just prior to the panic Of 1907, and Is
spending II freely. as 10 evidenced by
the rush orders which belated retailers
are sending to jobberS and manufnc-

account OF executors OF several great
English estates who were compelled 10

heavy inheritance tax exacted by the
British government.
Owing to the heavy death rate among
the peerage resulting from the war, the
payments OF these death duties have
been extraordinarily heavy. On estates
of 100000 the British tax is 20 per
cent, or 81, O00. 900. To pay these large
