Foreign Securities and Exchange.

market for sterling exchange. Quota
| tons have not yet reached the 4.st
normal basis, but they are gradually

| 1t is understood that the French gov

method for steadying French exchange
and that an appeal is to be made by the

| securities issued by neutral countries
particularly Switzerland, Holland, Nor
way. Sweden, Denmark. Argentina
Brazil and Uruguay, asking them to de
post such securities with the treasury
exchange rates with the United States
1t is obvious that these securities are
to constitute the collateral for the
large French credit that is under nego-
| tiation by French banks with American
banks. Apparently the plan of the
French government is not to purchas Sc
outright the securities in question but
to borrow them in similar way to that
from British holders of American Sc
curities who do not feel they can sell
outright. The British government pays
commission or rental of II per cent

Wheat and Wheat Prices.
OF special Importance not only to
the agricultural districts, but to the
country as a whole, is the outlook for
wheat production in the United States
during the coming months. The Ma
tional Chamber of Commerce, in a spe-
cial bulletin Just issued, reports that
there is approximately 90 per cent less
acreage soWn to winter wheat than at
the same period last year. The total
estimated crop for this year will be in
excess of 450,000.000 bushels, COM
pared with 600,060,00O bushels last
year With Europe at war. and con-

months. is a most important considera-

summer. Is for comparatively hisn
prices in wheat. since at this writing
there does not seem any likelihood of
the crop approaching the yield of last
year, or proha bly, the yield of the year
before. Should peace come, however,
and the Dardanelles be opened, releas-

accumulated surplus of wheat in Rus

Corporations Borrowing Heavily.

American railroad and industrial cor
porations have been doing some heavy
borrowing of late. During April, ac-
cording to the monthly tabulation OF
the Journal of Commerce. the total
borrowings were s221, ,59s. 500, compared
with s153.622.0 900 in April of last year.
American railroads and industrial cor
porations borrowed s992,576,s0o, an in
crease of more than so per cent over
last years records. While slight de-
crease is noted in railroad financing,
the corporations more than make up
the difference, and their 1916 borrow
ings show 200 per cent increase over
the four months period of last year.
The following table presents in detail
the record for new financing for the
first four months of 1916:

ion. When New York State cast its
ninety ballots solidly against the mi

up. Illinois cast ifty-seven negative
votes, too, and only one affirmative.
Mississippi gave her twenty votes.
Kentucky gave twenty-six. Missouri
twenty-four, and Tennessee twenty
four, against the minority report.
The total was more than 900 votes
against Gov. Ferguson's non-inter-
ference plank. Then by reclamation
the Convention adopted the majority
report, the suffrage plank. in which
is this:

the advocates of women suffrage
more than the Republicans did a week
ago. For. while the Republicans en-
dorsed the principle of woman suff-
rage and recognized the right of
individual States to settle the prob
lem themselves, the Democratic plat
form goes a step further and specifi-
cally recommends that whenever and
wherever the problem is being
decided all Democrats should vote in
favor of extending the ballot to wo-
men on terms of equality with men.
1t was a fight that enlivened the
final hours of the Convention, a fight
which means that the Democrats no
longer are boss-ridden or reactionary,
but are safely on the way to thor
ough progressivism.

The Nevada Senator received a
great ovation when he finished.
Senator Walsh, of Montana, spoke
briefly but effectively. His was a
naive argument. He admitted that
there we're States west of the Mis-
sissippi River where Democracy had
not for years been in control. and
now expected sister States for help to
maintain solidarity by subordinating
some of their beliefs to the general
welfare of the party. He insinuated
that if the Democratic party was
always to be hampered by sophistic
pleas of State sovereignty, there
would always be discord and dissen-
sion in its councils. The plain impli-
cation of what he said was that while
the States west of the Mississippi
were progressive. the Democratic
party could not be nationally pro-
gressive until it erased sectional
lines and faced the new conditions
of the day.
Response Of The South
The response of the South to this
plea was the most generous tribute
the Dixie States could pay to Wood
row Wilson. Some delegations were
divided. Georgia, for example cast
her vote almost solidly for the min
ority plank that sought to make no
recommendation whatsoever to the
States. Texas voted 80 to 8 for the
minority proposal. Other Southern
States were broken up, but the total
vote of the South was against the
narrow suggestion of the minority
report. The South as a whole, in
deed stood by the President, and

ment of the balloting. 1t was hard
doctrine to swallow, but the South
did it gracefully.

presented the minority plank, stated
that, while President Wilson had

the majority plank would not be a
reputation of the President.
