CHURCH FINANCING.

A man got up in a meeting of a church that had been unbusinesslike in it's arrangements and suggested that as they seemed to be running behind in money matters, the church should be closed until a balance had been accumulated from pew rents and pledges. It is needless to say that his proposal was not seriously con sidered.
 Another man, in the meeting of the same society, remarked that he did not understand why it was that a business man considered his receipts before deciding what he should spend, while the church decided what to spend and discussed the matter of receipts later. The only answer that could be made to his pertinent inquiry was that churches are not run like other enterprises.
 The churches are full of sincere and pious people who have had little experience with business methods, and they do not quite see how slipshod their methods look to the business community For instance many churches will figure on this basis. There will be at the close of the year ,1916 as usual a certain amount of unpaid pledges and pew rents. They will call these prospective receipts a part of the 1916 income. Then they will include in the 1916 income the portion of the 1915 pledges and pew rents that was unpaid January 1st. 1e16, but is being paid during 1916. Thus one class of receipts is counted twice in one year. =z- -i
 It is very easy to figure out sur plus on this basis but it does not go in business. Another common er- TOT is to account for a deficit by show ing that it went into repairs on the building, and considering that this adds to the value of the property 50 as to increase the assets of the society. Such expense for repairs should be considered as a part of regular run ming expense, as work of that kind has to be done regularly on any build ing.
 The churches would appead much more strongly to men if they would limit their payments to their income, and have their accounts and methods passed on and approved by substantial business people.

of Finance
Foreign Branches for

an American Bank
 Among the policies strongly advo- cated by the management of the Ma tionaI City Bank of New York is the establishment of branches of Arner1- can banking institutions in foreign countries. In a recent address, w. $. kies, one of the vice presidents of that bank, pointed out the advantages in connection with the development Of American trade in distant countries which such, a course affords. The in- stitution in question has, indeed, been putting this policy into practical Oper- ation through the branches it has al- ready established in South America. Announcement is moreover made this week that the plans for the inaugura- ton of the institution's first European establishment, which will be at Genoa,
 Italy, have been matured, and that
 the branch there, which will be under
 competent management, will be opened
 as soon as it's orga nization can be eff
 feOhed. In the same connection it is
 worth noting that two leading officials
 of the National City Bank recently de-
 parted for Europe, their destination being PetrogFad, the understanding being that these gentlemen, Messrs.
 McRoberts and Rich, are to make a.
 full study of conditions in the Rus sian empire, with Q view to deternin-
 ing the extent to which American trade can be developed between the United States and the Czar's donnin-
 ions, as we'll as the part which a
 branch of. their own institution at the
 Russian capital might play in that field. It is also understood that the same institution is preparing a way for the inauguration of branches in
 the Scandinavian countries and at one
 or more of the commercial centers ef
 Spain. It is considered by no means improbable that other large American banks may take similar steps, which
 would obviously have considerable ef- feet in developing the export and ina- port trade of the United States with the foreign lands where direct bank ing relations with home institutions are thus provided

Where the Exports Are Going.

Where the huge exports of the Unit ed States are going is shown in a statement just issued by the Bureau of Foreign & Domestic Commerce, Department of j Commerce. It deals with the monthsof March and the nine months of the5current fiscal year end ing in. March and gives the core spending figures for March, 1915, and for the same nine month period in 1915.
 It appears that about s148, 100000 worth of goods went toe Great Britain last month as compared with $9S.900,- 900 worth in March, 1915; and that during. the nine months over a million dollars worth has been sold to the United Kingdom as compared with s630 0o0, ,0c0 worth for the same period a year ago. Exports to France come next During March. $75.00o.00o worth went to France, nearly twice as much as was exported to France in March 1915 For the nine months, France took $423, ,Oo0. .o0o of American goods, $200 000, GOO more than in the same nine months of 1915. Canada is the third best customer. Italy the fourth, and Russia in Europe the fifth.

Pig Iron and Copper.

The United States fs9 turning out at the rate of 4o.O00, 900 tons of pig iron annually, compared .vithEs an actual output in 1915 of less than 30, GOO, 900 tons. Should iron production this year reach 40,000. coo tons, the gain over the preceding year will amount to about 8 per cent The rate per annum in January of last year was not much over 19.O0O,o ,o0o. tons. Therefore iron production has doubled in@a5 period of less than q year and half Copper refinery nroduction of gsthe United States, for the current yesr. is esti- mated at 2.1o0. .o00. 900 pounds, an in crease of more than 45es s0Oo, ,oO0 pounds, or 2S per cent, over the preceding g year.
