NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The demand
for the popular specialties showed no
signs Of abatement today and there
was another advance Of good proper
lions. Public buying, which had CIV
en- evidence of falling off, apparently
was. stimulated anew by yesterdays
upturn, and large amount of orders
accumulated over night. Trading was
brisk throughout, the total sales we're
$4,000 shares.
1.-THE instability Of the war stocks
at their current high level was DEM
4onstrated again by occasional periods
of reaction, but the general course
was upward. After the first rush OF
buying was over, the severest relapse
came, cancelling most of the early
rise, but in the afternoon the move
ment received fresh impetus. Weak
ness Of few speclalties and railroad
!; shares IN the last hour prevented the
market from making an even display
az strength at the close, but the late
8felaose was not extensive enough TO
cut deeply into the gains OF most
stocks.

4 Although cars, emperors and even
our own patriotic societies endeavor
to make the people of the different
countries believe that they are not
brothers one OF another, yet these et.
forts are Of no avail when It comes

Why in the world we don't have

brothers, after the war is over, why
don't We have sense enough now to
rise in our might and urge that the

1t is no pleasure for us to arrest

Motor Car Owners
Must Buy License

A vigorous campaign was started
this morning by Mayor Bowen, assist,
ed by the city police. to force all local
draymen and automobile owners to
buy licenses for their wagons and All
tomobiles. 1t seems that many local
draymen an dautomobile owners did
not take out licenses July /, when the
1914 licenses went out.
The mayor instructed the police this
morning to order all who are violating
TINS ordinance to appear before him,
and the result was the appearing of
tow teamsters and several automobile
owners at police court session.
The two transfers before the MAYOR
were fined S. each and the automobile
owners were fined $40. They all paid
their fines and promised to buy a II.
cense today. More arrests are expect,
ed in connection with this campaign.

difference is too great, foreign ex.
change is all upset, and the merchants
must either pay very high prices for
such exchange as they can buy or
else they must stop buying.
mat Is the present situation. The
OLD world is buying very much more
from us than we are selling the cd
world, and foreign exchange is so de-.
ranged that II an Englishman buys
$4,000 worth of wheat in Chicago he
must pay $4,000 for it; while il you
should buy $4,000 worth of wooden
goods i'll Manchester, England, you
would need to pay only $4,000 for il.
AS the European countries cannot
aHord to ship lis great quantities OF
gold, the result is that they must cease
buying Assume that they cannot
cease buying during the war. think
ing that 1t Will mean defeat for them.
they will continue to pay this big ex-
change rate during the war; and then.
at the close of the war, stop buying
altogether. Under these conditions
where do we get off?
Assume that before the war we
owed Europe each year one billion
dollars. made up as follows:
Merchandise. etc. .....$ 500,0OOO00
Dividends and interest
payments .......... 250,00O,00O
Tourist and other pay
mentS ............... 250,000000
Total ...............S1,00O 100000
This would give Europe a credit
Of S1,O00,000,000 here and enable her
to buy $1,000,000.00O worth OF goods
from US year, without busting up
foreign exchange. This is what she
| has done In years past and We all
got on happily and prospereu. Tne
war, however, has changed these con.
ditions. We have been continually
buying from Europe our old securi-
ties, stocks, bonds, etc, so that a
large part of the $25O,00O,0OO above
referred to may be wiped out. The
other items in Europe's income will
also be cut down, so the result will
be that Europe, in order to keep the
thing balanced, must, after the war,
either buy much less Of us or else
sell much more to us. In either case
this may mean less work for the mills
of this country.
If Europe cuts down her purchases
from us, this certainly means that our
exports will fall off, that our mills
will shut down, and that there will be
a long business depression in this
country until Europe makes up her
losses and again gets on her feet.
II, on the other hand, in order to
adjust this balance, we greatly in
crease our purchases from abroad, this
will give our mills less to do.
l wish l could see some way by
which we could avoid sharing the
