At A LOW EBB
Fewer Foreigners Coming

Since War Began.
BY Jonathan Winfield.

WASHINGTON. oct. q Immi-

at any other period since the out
, break of the war
From Germany. Austria, Italy,
England, Ireland. Scotland and the
Balkan states fewer immigrants
came TO the United States this year
than in any other period for the past
two decades.
Russia with it's vast population,
contributed an annual increase of
fore the war. Now Russians are
coming here at the rate Of 5000 a
year. That proportiOnate decrease
in the immigrant tide is largely true
of other great nations.
Immigrants of all nationalities.
numbering 29S,S2O, were admitted
TO American ports in the 12-month
period ended June so. This was the
smallest immigration movement re-
ported by customs officials since
1898. The average since 1905, until
war was declared was 1000, 1000.
immigration decreased from 1. 218,-
England contributed most to the
influx of newcomers this year with

Smaller Groups
Among the Balkans. Montenegro,
Servia and Bulgaria were credited
with 5000. Chinese immigrants num-

Women now feature the incoming
movement from distant lands. 49,

period. immigration Commissioner
Caminett is Of the opinion that the
percentage of female aliens coming
here will be greatly increased at the
close of the war. In this he shares
the belief of Frederic Howe, COM
missioner at Ellis Island, New York
Both agree that women will make
up the bulk of new arrivals when
peace is restored.
In connection with the low rate
Of immigration, Commissioner Can't
netti pointed out today that the
United States made a net gain in
population Of only 1904 in the
last fiscal year. Owing to the calling
Of reservists. 1O6.625 alien males de-
parted from American ports. Wom-
en- aliens departing numbered 23,140.
Trades represented among last

New Dyestuff Census Finished

WASHINGTON, d. G. oct q
American manufacturers Of dye
stuns are making arrangements TO
examine the proofs OF the anNiously
awaited dyestun census. which are
now available at the bureau Of for
eign and domestic commerce.
This is a detailed statistical ana
lysis Of the dyestuffs imported into
this country during the year preced-
ing the war II has been prepared
By DR.. Thomas II. Norton at the re-
quest OF American dyestuff manu-
facturers. and contains information
upon which the development OF the
American industry Will be based.
Just at quantities OF each color
have been used in American color
using industries has always more or
less Of a mystery in this country
German exporters alone have heen
familiar with the situation. With
out a reliable guide, domestic manu-
facturers would be obliged to work
in the dark to a large extent, pro-
ducing more than enough Of one
color and perhaps not nearly enough
Of some other shade. One great Eu-
ropean government has undertaken
a similar census and failed.
In addition TO the complete and
detailed list OF all imported dye
stuffs. the report contains full data
on the limited domestic production

has closely followed the free spend

so generally following the wars
opportunities. Labor, never so fully
and profitably employed, is buying
luxuries and necessities at high
prices. g Spectators who have made
large profits are even more prolific
as a spending class, while manu-
| facturers and traders are partici-
pating quite fully in this active cir
culstion of funds. This is an eco
r oTnic feature that is usually quite
as backward in ending as it is in
developing. Hence it may be con-
sidered as likely to occupy a posi-
ton i'm market considerations for
some time to come. There should,
for some time, be ample funds for
buying securities as well as COM
mOdities Bank credit. too prom
Uses 10 occupy a similarly ample
position.
Not unnaturally, such considera-
lions as these divert attention from
considerations that present themsel-
yes so clearly in a more distant
view OF financial prospects. Every
body knows that sooner or later a
severe check must come, and that
the war, which so completely upset
conditions in this country when il
began. will have an important in
huence when il ends. Countries that
will use their best efforts to secure
a return of the precious metal in
payment for their products that will
then be delivered in competition not
alone in our own country but in the
export markets that we have been
able TO secure when belligerent
countries were forced by the war
TO abandon them. There has in the
last two years necessarily been a
tremendous curtailment of Euro
pean labor; but this is a feature that
is not unlikely to be exaggerated.
since recoveries from modern gun
firm are 50 much more general than
was the case years ago. Mean
while, we should not forget that
manufacturing plants of England
and Germany have not been as yet
disabled by the war. AS has been
the case at home here, many of
them have for the time been turned
into arsenals. Nevertheless, they
are available for prompt production
as soon as the tremendous energy
that is now so fiercely conducting
warfare is turned to the channel Of
restoring the ravages of war. When
that period arrives American manu-
facturers will be called upon to
face competition of an exceedingly
strenuous character At that time
the demand for American made
munitions viii necessarily have end
ed. With the completion of this
demand Will be a corresponding cur
tailment of the transportation de-
mand connected with export bust
ness.
The extent Of this general reac-
tionary movement is something that
may not be decided on in advance in
definite measure. Ii will, however,
be important.
Still. these are considerations for
the future. The. present market is
one Of enthusiasm, and is affording
favorable opportunities for alert
traders to take advantage OF intell-
igent interpretations of day TO day
developments.

The main features in the general

Absorbed With Ease.
As to the elimination Of the sell
ing by foreign holders. an interest
ing statement compiled under the
direction or Pres't Loree of the
Delaware & Hudson Co. which was
published early in the week is not
antagonistic TO this conclusion. Mr..
Loree shows that there were still
held abroad on July 81. 1916,
American railroad securities Of a
par value of s1.415,628.562. but
having a market value Of only 81
11O,O99, 900. One year previous
on July 81, 1915-the par value Of
the securities held abroad was So
23,510,229, showing a reduction Of
substantially $500. O0O.O 900. while
comparing with a similar statement
or January I. 1915. the reduction
is close to 1900, 600. 900. When we
consider the large volume Of securi-
ties returned to us during the Bal
kan wars. as fell as the fact that
Mr. LOree's compilation refers only
10 railroad securities and does not
include industrials. it is possible TO
appreciate in something like def
mite measure the tremendous
power Of absorption that has been
displayed by American investors
during the last few years.
AS to the S1,1OO. 600. 900 market
value OF railroad stocks and bonds
vet in foreign hands. there is apt
to be some Misrepresentation as to
the volume available for further
sales. In the first place Holland
and other neutral countries are par

suit OF the opportunities furnished

We have just installed an Estate
Single Register Warm Air Heating
system in our store. First, because
we wanted to heat our store prop
erly and second, because we wanted
to patronize our farmers who have
wood to sell.
This single register hot air plant
is a new, simple, scientific system of
warm air heating that costs little
more than a heating stove to install.
No furnace experience necessary. No
pipes through the house and no tear
ing up of walls necessary.
Come in and look at ours. We
burn wood now so that we can pat
ronize the farmers. In fact, it will
burn any old thing, and it heats the
whole house through one single hole
in the floor. Let us explain it's ad-
