FINANCIAL FUTURE GOOD
BY YVES GUYOT


Special Gable TO the Evening Ledger
PARIS, Feb. lS-The Government has
put forward its budget for the second
quarter of the year and in explanation
has showed the total cost of running the
country from the beginning of the war
to the end of January, 1916. The total is
4l,il5.0OOO 600 francs, of which exclusively
military expenses comprised 80, $50 900
Interest on the debt was 3,2i6, 900.
Payments to those dependent on men
taken for the army amount to 1864. 100000
and the Governments purchase of food
for the civil population 1S600O,O0O. Other
expenses were 3.G6S 100000 Advances to
other Powers, not including Russia, were
IG2, 900 francs, of which 592OOO,00O went
to Belgium, 1Gj, 100000 to Serbia, 100000
to Greece and 10000 to Montenegro.
The state OF the treasury at the end OF
1915 showed the advances of the Bank
of France to the State have increased
only 1,175, 100000 francs and bonds of the
creased only 5,57i 100000 This shows how
far we are from having used up our re-
serves.
Meanwhile, from various sources, in
Guiding the bonds of national defense
and treasury bonds sold in England and
America and the s50OOOO,O 900 loan put out
In America the Government accumulated
a reserve of 1S,50O,0OO 600 francs, which
enabled IT to keep we'll ahead of the
seeming necessity at the beginning of 1915
of drawing heavily on the Bank of
France.
One sees from this that the financial fu-
ture of France remains serene.

on Dividends

NEW YORK, Feb 1S.-Tn the market
for outside securities today speculation
continued fairly brisk, with further up
turn in the leading issues, while the oil
stocks continued to monopolize the larger
part Of the trading.
Tobacco Products was again one of the
most prominent issues, and at one time
showed an advance of points on heavy
purchases, which were attributed to in
side account. United Cigar Stores W. |.
moved up more than a point. Midvale
Steel was in fair demand at Il small frac-
tiOnal change.
Aetna Explosive was fairly active at
range of X. Submarine Boat was prac-
tically neglected. In oil stocks, Ohio Oil,
on the announcement of the dividends,
moved up sharply about IL points and held
nearly all the advance. Cosden Oil, after
moving up to a new nigh record, at an
advance of IA, lost about half. In the
lower-priCed issues, Empire Petroleum
was decidedly stronger on better inquiry,
also touching a new high mark. Wayland
Oil and Gas developed renewed activity
at an Improvement of about point.
Bonds were easier. but fairly active.

WHEAT WENT UP
IN CHICAGO MARKET
Reports of Hessian Fly Damage
in Kansas and Export
Buying Helped

CHICAGO, Feb. 1S--Reports Of dam
age from Hessan fly in Kansas, bull
ish summary by the Modern Miller, and
4 rumors of buying by export houses made
the wheat market strong today after II
had displayed nervousness and irregu-
larity, following a show of trmness IN
early dealings.
The rise that was then established met
fairly vigorous selling of good charac-
ter, sending the market down. Long
wheat came out in considerable volume
under the influence of statements by local
shippers as to the uncertainty of railroad
and ocean steamship traffic.
When the advices of inquiry to the crop
were published n buying movement set
in and the list swung upward. The I'M
preston seemed TO prevail that bulls were
accommodating wheat quietly in anticipa-
ton of a crop scare when growing wea-
ther sets in. Today's sales for export
were placed at 100000 bushels.
Bradstreet's reported the clearances of
wheat and flour for the week at only
6,2Ss, ,443 bushels the smallest in long
time May ended 7sc. higher, at $l.291s,
after having been as low as I.2sA, and
July &c. higher. at Sl.237s, after having
been down to s1.22A. Corn also became
firmer following weakness.
Leading futures ranged as follows ,,--,,.,,.

NEW STATE FOREST.

The Vermont Forestry Department
has just concluded the purchase of a
tract of about 1000 acres lying on the
east side of Mt. Mansfield. This
property, added to the one acquired a
year ago on the west side of the range.
makes the total area about 5000 acres.
The Mansfield Forest will cost Vermont
about $4,000, the timber not included.
A fairly satisfactory arrangement has
been made by the State Forester with
the grantors whereby they agree not to
cut spruce and fir trees which are less
than 10 inches in diameter; and hemlock
and hardwoods less than Is inches
(all trees to be measured at breast
height. On certain areas no cuttings
are to be made and the time limit will
make it impossible to cut close.
From a forestry standpoint the pur-
chase of this large area at reasonable
price with fairly good stand of grow
ing trees, makes this by far the finest
area in the State. Markets for lumber
in Stowe and Underhill are bound to
improve and there can be no question
but what the purchase will prove good
investment to the State in future
years.
Governor Gates, who has been in
favor of this purchase since it was first
called to his attention, is particularly
interested because of its scenic aspects.
On the north the tract crosses the
Smuggler's Notch Road, which the
Governor hopes to develop as one of the
chief attractions of the State. 1t is un-
surpassed in beauty by anything in New
England. Further south the Nebraska
Notch crosses the State Forest. By a
development of roads through these
two notches a splendid circuit would be
thrown open to the automobilist State
Forester Halves believes that the dem
onstration of practical Forestry princi-
pies in section that will be so widely
visited cannot fail to produce good re-
suits throughout the State.
