Although there has been a slight
advance in tire prices, the motorist
may find consolation in the thought
that tires now cost only about one
third as much and give about ten
times as much mileage as they did
decade ago. The present advance
is only a drop in the bucket-a step
backward, IL you will, but certainly
not to be compared to the rought ana

MELTING OF COIN
Penalties Provided for
Any Misuse of Gold
Currency.
By FRANCIS W. HIRST.


London, Aug. S.-The hot weather
stagnation and Stock Exchange dull
ness correspond with the general
situation and New York advices.
Bankers are watching the gold po-
sition and discussing what limits
should be placed on the total of
Treasury bills. A new Defence of
the Realm regulation forbids under
penalties any person to melt or use
otherwise than as currency any cur
rent gold coin.
The wonderful weather has re-
suited in the harvesting of a later
hay crop over large areas, and in
the Midlands one may see the I'M
usual sight Of hay being stacked in
enc field, while wheat or oats is be-
ing cut in the next one. Hay prices
are double the normal war figure.
Foreign trade statistics for July
show a welcome reduction in the
adverse balance.

Diminishing Trade with China.

American merchants sold more goods
to China last year by s1O,165,769 than
they did FIVE years ago. In 1905 our
total imports into China amounted 10
s27, ss4,5lS; in 1910. 29,99O,37O, and in
1915, s40,156,l39, reaching the highest
mark in the history OF trade relations
between the two countries. So far so
good. But when we consider what
other nations have accomplished dur
ing the same period. the foregoing
figures are not quit so satisfactory.
While Americas trade in China has
increased, the trade Of other nations
with China has increased 70 a far
greater rate. American merchants
who controlled l4.9 per cent of the
total foreign trade Of China in 1905
are scarcely able to-day 20 hold 9 per
cent Where ten years ago each Chi
nese user of foreign goods was spend
ing Is cents with an American manu-
facturer, to-day he is only spending Q
cents. And the American, once China's
second best merchant, is now a poor

labor cost per unit Of production IN
order TO save his own profit, hence
labor saving devices and progress IN
efficiency. Afterward wages stay up,
or fall very little, but the labor cost
OF producing goods may actually fall.
The ultimate effect is good. This
takes time.
The problem of labor is INSOFAR
ably associated with the problem OF
post-bellum competitions, IN fact
one of it's major terms. The solu-
ton of one will govern that OF the
other. The abnormality of the pres
ent situation lies chiefly in this, that
our prosperity has been achieved IN
the absence of competition. We have
had the field to ourselves. Not only
has there been no European compe-
tition in the American markets, but
in the foreign markets the American
producers have been without compel
itors, broadly speaking. Europe
suddenly departed from the competi-
ton. became, instead, an imperative
customer for goods, obliged to pay
such prices as we charged for them.
After the war the change back VIII
be very quick. European traders
will trade hard, like bankrupts with
their solvcncy to recover, and com
retition not only will be restored
but it's terms will be bitter. How
will American labor meet these con-
Gitions? Will it see the necessity
Of either accepting lower wages or
increasing its production? If not
what will the case Of American in
oustry be? These are the aspects IN
which the problem now presents u
self TO the minds of bankers and PRO-
ducers all over the West. q. u.

Business on German Trains.
Chicago Philadelphia Boston London

Great business activity is expected
in Germany after the war, and the
question is being discussed in the
Brunswick press as 20 the advantages
of having special compartments in the
cars of express trains for business
men. II is suggested that these com
partments be fitted up with a table
covered with green cloth, suitable
chairs, writing materials, and other
appropriate articles, this special ser
vice being analogous to sleeping and
dining car service. II is believed that
there will be a demand for such cars
and that business men will gladly pay
en- extra fare for the conveniences fur
nished. The chambers of commerce of
two cities have already sent the Min
lister of Public Works petitions for the
introdpction Of this improvement, the
railroads being under national CON
trol.-Reported by Consul Albert, at
Brunswick, Germany.

Food Consciousness.

On an area only Is per cent larger
than that of Great Britain Germany
raises grain for 100000 people. Great
Britain raises grain for only 100000.
Germany provides three times as much
meat, nine times as much potatoes,
twenty times as much timber and enor-
nous quantities of sugar and tobacco,
of which we grow none except for ex-
perimental purposes. BY far the most
important factor in the difference be
tween the agricultural prosperity Of
England and Germany is the difference
between their railway rates. Speaking
70 a deputation Of traders in December,
1906, Mr.. Lloyd George, then President
of the Board of Trade, said: "ln the
near future we shall have to reconsider
the whole question of railway rates from
beginning TO end" In the near future,
But here we are in 1915 and nothing

had with all the other people of the
world. It is about II per cent of
the total foreign trade of the whole
world in the year before the war.
Great Britain hitherto has led the
world. The total of her purchases
and sales with other people in 1914
touched 5000 million dollars. Our
trade last year was 80 per cent
greater than that.
In the preceding fiscal year, which
was the first of the war period, we
sold to the world goods to the value
of 1000 million dollars more than we
bought from the world. In two
years, therefore, our sales TO the
world have exceeded our purchases
by more than 5000 million dollars,
and that is a measure of how much
we have got ahead. We have pro-
duced that many more goods than
we have consumed, and the excess
we have sold or loaned to other coun-
tries. IF we were a saving people,
too. we might soon have all the
wealth there is; only it is possible
that if we were saving people, as
the French are, we should not be the
enormously producing people we ere.

the British financial authorities 10
maintain aNsubstantial margin between
interest rates at New York and Lon
don. As long as Great Britain is sue
cessful in maintaining the exchange
rate by gold shipments, sales of sccuri-
ties, and temporary financial arrange
ments, the possibility Of substantial
borrowing in the United States is being
held in allegiance. especially as London
has a large internal loan in prospect
Yet the ultimate necessity of making
further loans to the belligerenis, IN
view Of the continued heavy expen-
ditures in America, is a factor which
our bankers are keeping steadily IN

Conditions West.

Conditions in the West are more
easily summarized than snalyzed.
Comparisons are futile. The speed
ometer is working above the limit Of
the dial. The whole machine is going
at a speed in excess of its rating.
II is working independently of the
ignition system. The engine is so
hot that it sparks itself. To the
regular mixture, which is the nor
nal power Of people to consume
goods, was added suddenly Is to 25
Der cent of war gas; and the supply
Of air, which is credit, was increased
enormously at the same time by
roeans of the Federal Reserve Bank
system.
1t is very exciting, but there are
discomforts and disadvantages. The
road, for one thing, is unfamiliar;
therefore, the factor of unexpected
ness is at its maximum. Everywhere
among the thoughtful there is that
uneasy feeling that something will
happen. You cannot go on at high
speed forever, unless you are deter
mined to run out of the world en-
tirely, and, besides, the war gas in
the mixture is sure to give out some
time in very abrupt manner. How
the engine will behave after that Ia
serious question. All one can do
is to wait and see.
The one great outstanding fact is
that the limits of actual production
ere beginning to be touched in every
direction. If you divided current
production into the country's stats
teal capacity. expressed IN terms of
plant and equipment, there would be
still. no doubt, a considerable mar
gin; or if you threw the case into
en- expression of efficiency you might
re able to demonstrate that with
existing facilities production could
be enormously increased. But in
either direction you collide with the
labor problem. The diminishing
availability of labor is the limiting
flctor. Not only is the supply prac-
tically exhausted. but. as always
happens, the productivity OF. labor Is
tending to fall as wages rise. That
is not a law to be expressed in al
gebraic terms. 1t is human nature.
Although experiences vary, they lie
all in the same direction. Wages
rise when the demand for labor over
runs the supply. For the same
amount of work as before more wages
are paid. The immediate effect is
demoralizing. Sudden prosperity is
hard enough for people as a whole
to digest nationally. and in fairness
it has to be said that labor is gen.
orally tempted by bad example.
As wages rise the producer is put
upon his ingenuity to reduce the

STRIKING EXCHANGE
PORTERS NOW J0BLESS
Walkout Followed by Rush of
Applicants to Fill Vacancies.

The strike fever invaded Wall Street
yesterday. but not with the success that
has attended the efforts of the streetcar
employees 10 obtain the right TO organ
ize. Fourteen porters employed by the
Stock Exchange walked out just be
fore trading began at 10 o'clock. They
demanded an increase in wages from
$55 to $50 a month. and declared they
would not return TO work until their
grievances had received consideration
at the hands of the governing board.
When porters in other buildings Of
the financial district heard of the walk
out there was rush of applications to
fill the vacancies. and by the time
committee representing the strikers
had returned to the exchange to learn
what action had been taken regarding
their demands they were informed by
Superintendent Barney Smith that they
were jobess. There were more than
thirty applications for the fourteen va
cancies created by the strike. The new
men taken on we're iubilant. because
many of them had been getting only
$40 a month in their former jobs.
It was indicated by the exchange
management that a few of the strikers
whose records have been exceptionally
good may be taken back at the old rate
Of pay if they file their applications in
the formal manner. Among the porters
who refused 10 walk out was an old
employe who it was said receives $40
a month. The strikers said they had
received TO increase during the last
fifteen years and that their action was
prompted by the high cost of living.

SHORT WHEAT
CROP FORECAST
BY GOVERNMENT
Amount for Export to Eu-
rope Much Smaller
than Last Year.

Washington, Aug. 8.-Cereal crops in
the United States underwent serious
deterioration in most cases during July,
according TO the monthly bulletin Of
the Department of Agriculture, issued
to-day.
Indicated production of spring wheat
this year, according to the govern
ment's estimate as Of August /, is 1884,
OOO. 900 bushels, compared with a pros
pect Of 270,000,OO0 on July | last, a
final yield Of 357,OO0,0OO bushels in
1915 and a five year average of 233,0OO,-
900 bushels. Winter wheat this crop
has been made shows a final yield OF
ass, 900, 900 bushels, against an expecta-
ton of 4s9 1000, 900 bushels in prospect
on the first of last month, final yieid
of $50 900 900 bushels last year and
fve-ycar average Of 495 100000 bushels.
Indicated yield Of all wheat is $4,000
900 bushels. compared with prospect
Of 1853 900, 900 bushels on July l, a final
yield OF 1,0l2 100000 bushels in 1919
and a fve-year average of 728,OOO,OOO
bushels. Spring wheat on August l
showed a condition of 63.4, against 50
on July /, and ten-year average Of
1913.
For corn. the leader of the cereal
crops in weight, the condition of Au-
gust indicates yield Of 2,777 ,OOo,Ooo
bushels. This compares with pros
pect of 1856, 100000 bushels on July /,
a final yield last year of 3,055, 100000
and fve-year average yield of 2,732,-
600 900 bushels. Corn, it will be noted,
indicates a yield above the average Of
the last five years. The harvest is still
a month off. Condition of corn on Au-
gust was 1913, against 80 on July l,
and a ten-year average Of 1911
The oats crop, while falling short Of
last years big yield, nevertheless will
be large, and. in fact, should in the
final harvest stand well above the five
year average. Indicated yield on Au-
gust / was 100000 bushels, against
a prospect of 1877 100000 on July l.,
and ten-year average of l,l5S,OOO,OOO.
The final yield last year was 100000
