who was one. Ot the most promising young men in England and whose un- timely end affected her deeply.
 Abhors German Batting
 Mrs. Asquith and her husband consider German-baiting as foreign to the best British principles. In other words they insist on giving the devil his due" and admitting the good qualities of friend and foe alike. In the waves of hysteria which have. swept over England they have kept their balance. When war was declared in August, 1914, Mrs. Asquith called upon Princess Lickno- wsky, wife of the German ambassa- dor, to say goodby, and kissed her in the street, while tears came ito the eyes of both woAaen. Mrs. Asquith has also been inter- ested in the case5of Mrs. Savile, wife ct the rector of Beverly, Yorkshire, and the daughter Of Count Hippolyt yon Bothmer and his English wife. t sMrs. saxile shas been singled eus for anti-G German frenzy because her brother, Majcr Count vony5 Bothmer, and her cousin, Gen. Felix von Both mer. are prominent in the German army. .sg.-4--x,v ~.ss

 For this -lMr. Tenant was auess tioned in the house of commons. He defended himself eloquently, declar- ling that the unfortunate Mrs. Savile had been in England since. she was four years Qldt and was completely
 with the, alliss in sympathy.

London, Jan. 8.-Again the bril-
 liant wife of Premier Asquith, con-
 nected by marriage and by blood
 numerous times with the inner cir cles of British leadership, is the centre of swirling rumors, eddyinG intrigues and romantic tales. Just which of the many stories is truth and which fancy is hard for a
 looker-on to- state, but it is certain that the person whom vitriolic Will
 liam Watson called "The Woman
 with the Serpent's Tongue wields by her magnetic personality and her
 character very real power in the
 life of the empire. and, inded, of the whole wcrlde.
 Here are, sone of the things which
 she' has done recently:
 Her advice won the day for the advocates of the dithdrawal from the
 Gallipoli peninsula. She has wen her suit against the London Globe to restrain this news
 paper from representing that she is a pro-German. She has refused to indulge in vul- gal German batting and has upheld
 her brother, Harold Tennant, under |s;cretary of state for war, in defend EN edded to an Englishman.
 She has been the mainstay of her husband. the British premier, in the wild political storm which has ragged |-about his head. 1a ss It is difficult for Americans who have not lived in London to compre- bend the unique position held by Mrs Asquith. Certainly no woman in Washington or New York ever occu- pied a niche even approximately in- flCential. It is quite generally agreed hsre that she is the most powerful woman (barring, of course Queen Victoria) in English politics ir a century.
 She "Made" Her Husband. It is common remark that Mrs Asquith made her husband. Undoubt' ea,'J she contributed heavily in bring ing him to his high office. It would b. a 'tblaok eye" for the whole cabi net to have her humiliated. For this reason official London haG much at stake when she brought z legal action against the London Globe to restrain it's editcr from publishing any more letters from readers whicf intiTated that she had acted in tot friendly manner toward German prisoners of war interned at Don nington hall.
 While MT. Asquith is a Scotchmar os serious, urbane type, and noted ] ter his power to dominate strong personalities and harmonize other
 statesmen so that they can work to gether, he has lacked great deal il what may be described as s0cia grace. In this quarter his wifi shines. With her entertaining, intel llectual, witty presence she hal

STOCK. MARKET
~~~0~

New York, May. 2a.-Opening-T course of today's early stock market suggested a further reaction from the upward movement of recent sessions. Reading continued to claim attention, initial sales comprising several large blocks at fractional gains and 100 shares at 1O4, an overnight advance of a point from which it soon de- clined to 101A. There were fairly large offerings of Kennecott and In spiration coppers at moderat egains and the rest of the active list, in cIuding the war shares and other specialties tended variably higher The greater part of this advance was lost however. before the end of the first half hour
 CIose.-Further profit taking in standard shares and renewal of pres sure against the speculative specialties imparted some heaviness to today's 8 early trading but these conditions were largely overcome later when the railways list resumed it's upward pro gress. The moderate dealing centered around Reading, Erie and the coppers at first but gradually 'broadened with pronounced strength in Canadian Pacific, which rose over five points with 2 1k for t'Soo'' an allied line, and 1 for Union Pacific. U. s. Steel moved within narrow limits and most other industria1s retriever early losses. The closing was strong. Bonds were irreg- uIar

Australia Mining
 Men Operate To
 Break German Hold

Melbourne. Australia, May 20.- What was described before the war be- gan. as Germany's ftdomination'' of the worlds metal trades through Teutonic commercial and industrial Nsupremacy in Australian mining regions, has, af- ter a year of systemized effort virtual ly been destroyed, according to a long statement issued by Hugh Mahon, Act ing Attorney General
 Negotiations instituted by William M. Hughes when Attorney General and since prosecuted by him as Fede- ral Prime Minister in England, have borne fruit in the creation of a coop erative organization of mining com panies in Australia to deal with the commercial metals industry. Through this association, according to MT. Ma hons statement, this giant business is being placed on a footing free from the possibility of foreign control in the future. This organization, the Asso- ciated Shelters Proprietary, Ltd, is probably the largest meta11urgicaI es- tab1ishment of it's kind in the world a smelting5 refining and realization in stitution for the treatment of silver lead and gold ores and concentrates.

Pig Clubs and Bank Deposits.


 The bankers in many states are realizing the value Of pig club work as a means of materially improving rural conditions, according to club agents of the United States Depart nnent of Agriculture. Not few bank CTS have made it possible for worthy club members to secure pigs on thelr personal notes In this way well bred pig is secured and the member can pay for it from the proceeds of the pig as a meat animal or from the safe of offspring in the case Of breeding animal The member en- ters into a business agreement (with the parents consent) with the banker and is in this way relieved, or the stigma. of charity which is the result when a pig is given outright This arrangement is a. practical means of teaching business methods to the rural young people. It is also char acter building process, for it is but natural for a boy when treated as a man, to act in a manly manner.
 { This apparent generosity on the mart of the bankers is in many cases business acumen. A case in point IS That of a Texas bank The president bf the bank placed 326 pigs among. kha pig club members of his county. As a result of the acQuAintance made in securing and placing these pigs, many new patrons were seculeu- These patrons brought in over $75,- | 600 in individual deposits. Needless to say, this was profitable business for the bankJ but it is also g, means that will increase with time in it's benenc1al influence One of the Texas papers states that the banker 'has laid the foundation for a prosperity which will be lasting. The boys that he has helped ito get started in the hog business are now on their feet hnan- cially and before many years they will be making big shipments of hogs to market each year. The money re- ceived from the sale of hogs will be expended in further developing the county. Every merchant in the county will profit, the banks will get more deposits, and the farmers will have more money with which to further develop their farms"
 High Prices Of Silver.
 fE,neineering and Mining Journal)
 About a month ago we recorded a sharp advance in the price of silver. which carried it up above 60 cents per ounce in New York. the highest point reached since the. beginning of the war period. For large part of April the price held between 62 to e5 cents, but during the last week
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-05-20
World of Finance

there has been another sharp ad- vance and it is now selling at TIA cents per ounce, which is the highest price on record for over 20 years. The nearest approach was in Novem- Der; 1906, when it sold for a short time between II to 72 cents, that price being followed by a rapid fall.
 The present advance is peculiar in that it is not the result of g. heavy demand from the East. China has been taking a little more silver than for some months past, but the exports to India during the first quarter of 1916 have shown g. very considerable decrease from last year. The present advance seems to be due to two causes, one being the unprecedented demand from the European hints. The English mint has been a heavy buyer, and large quantities have been taken by France and Russia. The si1- yer coinage now being put out in Europe is on an unprecedented scale. The exigencies of the war have prac- tfcaIIy eliminated gold from circula- ton abroad. Some coin was needed to meet the requir ements of the peo- pie largely accustomed to a, metallic currency, and in addition to this a great amount, has been used in paying the soldiers of the different nations.
 The other cause for, the rise has been the fact that stocks available are not large and that the offerings of silver have been unusually light. The main supply of the London market has come from the United States and Canada for some time past, and hold CTS there have not been over-liberal in their offers. The supply from Mex ico has been less than usual owing to the troubles in that country which have interfered very much with min ing activities, and no new source of supply has come forward. Produc- ton in the United States and Canada has not fallen off to any great extent, but the producers and owners seem to have held back as much as possi- bIe and have not pressed their metal for sale.
 The demand for silver for use in the arts has been very good in the United States for Some months past. In Europe, of course, the industries using silver have been kept back by the war. The indications are that the present demand will continue strong for some time to come and that prices will be well maintained. although there may be some reaction from the present high level. Moreover, .there are fair promises of a, good demand from the Far East. which may be- come a large demand if business in China becomes more settled.

south Amer,can Hata,

Throughout the West Indies, Central and South America the native women make wonderful straw hats. The Dutch h island of Curacao, near Venezuela, is famous for the exceptional women's s straw hats that are there produced. Porto Rico and Cuba make excellent ones from the leaves of the palm, while Ecuador, Panama, Honduras and Peru are noted for their Panama hats.
 While wealthy men have been known to pay as high as $1OO for Panama hat, such prices are decidedly unusual Hats of the best quality, pliant and flexible so that they may be folded and carried in the pocket without injury, can be purchased for from $2 to $40, depending upon the shrewdness of the buyer and the f1nanc4e4 needs of the maker or seller. Women and children, owing to the deftness of their fingers, make the best hats, and but few men are engaged in the industry. No fac tories exist for their production. AS the hats are finished they are either traded to the village storekeeper for necessaries or sold to the native buyers, who send them in lots of fifty to hun dred to the merchants at the port.-W. B.
