Members of St. Mary's T. A. and B.
 society observed the 127th annivers-
 ary of the birth of Father Mathew
 on Tuesday night. The celebration
 was held in the T. A. B. building. The committee in charge which compris-
 ed the officers of the organization pre-
 pared an excellent programme that was greatly enjoyed. During the ev- ening remarks were made by Director William McGuinness and Felix Cal lahan.
 Director McGuinness spoke on the life of Father Mathew and the signif- icarce of his work and the fact that Father Mathew started the movement which resulted in the Catholic Tenn perence Union in the United States, which now number over 100 900 mem bers. The Connecticut state union was the first organized and resulted in the formation of the national union. l The action taken by the Russian and other governments in Eudope where the great war is ravaging, in prohibit ing the manufacture and the sale of liquor shows that at this late date the truth and advantage Father Mathew advocated. A number of the states in our country have prohibited the liquor traffic. The state of Ken lucky which is noted for whiskey dis tiIleries has 90 counties which prohibit liduor

ton on dividends Tuesday, when earn
ings for the three months ended Sep

ings for the quarter have been esti-
mated all the way from ss5,000.000 TO

fishing a new high record. Net for

CANADIAN FORD CO.
SUSPENDS DIVIDEND
Forced to Retrench by Domin-
ions War Tax on Excess Profits

The Ford Motor Company of Canada,
which is controlled by Henry Ford and
has the exclusive manufacturing and
selling rights on the Ford automobile
throughout the British Empire, with
the exception of the British Isles, has
run up against the Canadian war tax
and has been forced as a result to sus-
pend the payment of dividends. At a
meeting held last week it was voted
to postpone dividends due at this time
in view Of the fact that the tax
amounts TO S716136 and the company
is about to make large expenditures
for improvements.
Profits of the company for the ten
months were $1,s25,45S. The passing
of the dividend had been anticipated
bv sharp reaction in the stock, which
fell in all about 100 points. Since or
ganization the Canadian company has
paid $500 per cent in stock d yidends.
Last year 10 per cent in cash was DIS
bursed. and in December the directors
increased the capital stock from ST.
100000 to 100000.

Proprietors Solicited

The decision of the directors of the
New York Central to raise S25,000,-
900 new capital by the sale Of stock
instead of bonds probably marks the
beginning Of new cycle in railroad
finance. A corporation obtains CAPT
tai in two ways. 1t sells either bonds
or stock. The difference is impor-
tant.
A bond is a rigid thing. 1t is Sc
cured by mortgage, by collateral or
by the general credit Of the company.
It bears a fixed rate of interest and
runs for a stated number of years.
At it's maturity it must be paid in
full. If a company cannot pay in
tcrest regularly on its bonds, or if it
cannot pay up the principal when
that is due, it is adjudged bankrupt.
A share of stock, on the other
hand, is never due. 1t is unsecured by
mortgage or collateral. 1t is a GER
tifcate Of ownership, the holder Of
which is entitled to participate in the
profits of the business after interest
has been paid in full to the bond
holders.
On bonds interest is paid. 1t is a
fixed charge.
On stock dividends are distributed.
They may be variable, more in good
years and less in lean years.
The bondholders are creditors,
who, in default Of interest or prin-
cipal when due, may foreclose, just
as the holder Of real estate mort
gage does, and take possession Of the
property.
The stockholders are the proprie-
tors. They control the property, run
il, dictate its policy, elect the direc-
tors and do as they please with all
the earnings, provided always the
creditors are paid their interest in
full and the principal when due. The
bondholders have nothing TO say so
long as the property is solvent. II is.
for instance, the business Of the di-
rectors, elected by the stockholders,
to decide whether new capital shall
be raised by the sale Of bonds, which
is 20 borrow it, or by the sale Of
stock, which is 10 increase the num-
Der Of share proprictors. And the
New York Central directors have de-
cidcd 20 pursue the latter course.
Why? There are several reasons.
As was said before, the interest
on your bonds is fixed charge. If
you do not earn IL you are bankrupt.

Saturday, October RS, 1916

Most of the essential things re-
quired for the satisfaction of human
wants are selling at the highest
prices touched since the period OF
paper money imitation that followed
the close of the Civil War. Wheat
and cotton were the staples that at
tracted most attention last week. At
the outbreak of the European war
the eating price of wheat in the
world was between so and 80 cents a
bushel. Now it is 81, and tending
upward. The testimony of a specu-
lator is interesting. James A. Pat
ten thinks spring wheat flour will
sell around SIS a barrel before the
next wheat crop is in. 1t is already
SO. against $5.25 a year ago. "All
cur available wheat surplus" says
Mr.. Patten. "has already been sold
for export" He thinks wheat Will
sell so to rs cents a bushel higher
vet. under the influence of an in
creasing demand operating upon a
diminished supply. He wonders that
the high prices have not yet cur
tailed the demand. He sees no evil
dence of that having happened, nor
does any one else.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

The week in the foreign exchange
market was uneventful. Sterling rates
scarcely moved at all in the face of the
importation of S49,50O,00O of British
cold. Official announcement of new
$500 .OoO. 900 British credit produced no
outward effect on the market. French
exchange acted much in the same man
ner as sterling, fuctuating very mar
rowly.
Weakness Of Italian exchange was
an outstanding feature of the market
lire bills declining from around $50 to
6.58 on small amount Of business.
The movement here was a reflection OF
the sharp advance in sterling at all
Italian centres. Russian exchange dis
plaved little tendency toward recovery.
frming up at the outset, easing oil
again Friday. Swiss exchange has
been showing increasing strength Of
late. Scandinavian rates, as a rule,
were steady.
An interesting development in inter
national finance is found in the fact
that Japan has been paying her inter
est coupons in Germany, although the
two countries are at war. The reason,
it is explained. is that Japan is anxious
to take advantage Of the low exchange
