| ESTIMATED.
| There are a number of banks and
other corporations whose securities are
not listed on the local stock exchange
but yet make good returns on invest
ments. These corporations will prob
ably add another $4,000 to the total
payments.
| Moreover, all the savings banks of
many of them, and also the trust COM
ings department pay interest to Gus
toners on balance with July l.
| All in all it is within the proba bilities
that the July disbursements will total
nearly $1,000, 900.
| A Clever Scheme.
| American securities are being mar
keted every day on the New York
stock exchange, sent from Germany
and other central power allies.
This. too, in spite of the control of the
sea by Great Britain and her associates.
! Necessity is the mother of invention.
| 1t Is a clever scheme the way it is be-
! ing carried out
received in exchange for German notes,
etc, representatives of the government
| or the owners, visit the offices of the
Deutscher Bank in Berlin, and before
the proper witnesses the officials OF
that corporation proceed to burn these
certificates.
The bank officials will then make
affidavit in true legal form that GER
tificates, number. SO and so. calling Tor
| such a number of shares in the stock
| of the American corporation, inserting
title, and issued to SO and so, were on
such and such a day and at such and
such time, destroyed by fire.
| Using the wireless telegraphy. which
Great Britain does not control, these af-
| fidavits are duly received on this side
| and presented at the Office of the regis
| trar of stock Of the corporation issuing
| the shares that have been destroyed. and
| in due form new certificates are issued
on this side of the Atlantic, sold on the
| market and the proceeds credited to the
seller-usually the German government.
| Naturally it is impossible to send the
| actual cash in payment for the securities,
| but the credit is esta blished. and the is
| suance of paper currency to the amount

| That necessity forces American ingenu-

of dyes has progressed remarkably. and
but little complaint is made now against
the lasting quality of the supplies pro-
