Holland Conserving Fuel
Government Guards Against
Famine in Coming Winter

Holland is already taking steps TO
prevent a recurrence next winter Of the
suffering occasioned by lack Of coal
during the last winter. The Royal Coal
Distribution Bureau, which was estab-
lished several months ago to oversee
the distribution of coal to the more i'm
portant industries Chose which require
more than 240 tons of coal a year,, is
TO be supplemented by the establish
ment in each commune of fuel COM
mission.
These fuel commissions are to COM
mence active work Immediately under
the respective burgomasters. Their
first report will show the requirements
of each commune as calculated from
the census of small industrial plants
(using under 24O tons a year, and
dwellings.
Hitherto the Royal Coal Distribution
Bureau has concerned itself only with
the distribution to large industries Of
coal, briquets and mine coke. 1t will
now supervise the distribution of all
other kinds of fuel, including gas works
coke, turf and turf briquets.

Phe reimbursement of American
business to war conditions is pro-
oeeding smoothly and with a mini
mum of disturbance. A considerable
rart Of the country's productive
plant has been diverted from the
fabrication of materials for peace
uses to the production of war ma
terials for the United States. This,
as was inevitable, has been effected
to some extent by curtailing the
qcantity of goods which otherwise
would have been supplied to private
consumers, but nothing like starva-
ton of business has taken place, nor
is it likely to take place. AS a mat
ter of fact, it probably was neces-
sary to divert a greater portion Of
industrial output originally reserved
by private consumers to the gov
eminent in the beginning than will
be the case in the future. The de-
mand for war steel, for instance,
will at most represent but COM
paratively small portion of the total
capacity of the American steel plant,
which, moreover, is growing con-
stantly and rapidly. Therefore, after
the most pressing military needs
have been satisfied 1t is not improba-
bic that the trade will begin to
catch up with the demands for peace
steel, which yields the greater profit.
And this is true also of other in
dastries whose products are needed
for war. The fact that our fighting
forces are to be recruited by selec-
zion in such a manner as to insure
the maintenance of an adequate
supply of labor for all the essential
industries will certainly help in
keeping output up to the maximum.
AS to demand, there is little pros
pect of that falling below supply,
save, perhaps, in the case Of few
trades producing Injuries. No mat
tcr how much people may economic
there is certain to be a need for all
the goods which possibly can be
produced in all the workshops,
mines and fields Of the whole
country.

A Western View

The war excitement has created some
hesitancy in business circles and a
good many large projects have been
held up pending the restoration Of
peace throughout the world. In gen.
eral, however, it cannot be said that
the war has yet become a serious fac
tor in actually hampering business ac-
tivity. The volume Of trade is enor-
nous and the demands from domestic
sources Very largely exceed tie de-
mands from abroad. Several foreign
governments have made large pur-
chsses of railroad supplies in the
United States. Most Of the equipment
companies, however, sre~so far behind
in their orders as to make it difficult 10

lieved.-WeUs-Fdrgo Nevdda Nation

Monday, May %, 1917.

Stocks closed the week as they
legan. strong and active. The mar
ket wrote a new chapter in wan
Street history during the period.
The spectacle of United States Steel
CORPORATION common stock, of which
there are 5.083,025 shares outstand-
ing. selling in the neighborhood OF
sl35 a share, was something that
MANY had predicted but few had
actually expected, particularly at
this time. Steels action last week
was one of the most impressive
things the Street has witnessed IN
wears. Starting en- Monday, it rose
steadily higher each succeeding day,
until Saturday the stock touched
134%. II closed the week at l34H,
compared with a close Of 122h at
the end of the preceding week. In
the five and half days of trading
on the New York Stock Exchange
nearly 100000 shares Of Steel
changed hands. This is not rec
ord. but it is nevertheless striking
as an indication of the character OF
the weeks market.

Bank: T. Fl. Whitehead, Of the Char
tered Bank Of India, and Martin Hol-

pointed to consider the matter. An
other committee has been chosen to
collect expert evidence for and against
the introduction Of the system as a
measure in assisting British after-war
trade with foreign countries.
Economic problems that have arisen
in connection with the occupation by
Germany of invaded French territory

prefet Of the Disc Department has al

Minister of the Interior for assistance
in connection with the repatriation of
the inhabitants. Professionally he has
asked for 1000 temporary houses and
$50 agricultural buildings. Already
contracts have been signed with Paris

movement of the bonds traded in on

others ruled slightly above the close

bonds underwent improvement, while
railway issues were reactionary. De-

Total dealings in all stocks last
week Appropriated 100000 shares
making it by far the most active
period of trading on the exchange
this year. Steel contributed slightly
less than one-third of this, and the
remainder was made up Of transac-
tons in other industrials Of less
prominence. Railway stocks again
played a minor role, and although
prices were well maintained as a
rule in this department, there was
no buying power. This is not diff
cult of explanation. Wall Street
las become greatly impressed with
the prospect that American industry
must hum louder than ever before
to feed, arm and clothe our own
armies and navies, in addition to
extending aid and comfort of the
same nature to cur allies. While
there is little doubt that the rail-
roads must in time share in the
benefits of this, the thing that stands
out at the moment is the demand
that is to be made on the steel COM
panies, the copper producers, the
railway equipment companies and
the like. Despite heavy taxes, in
dustrial profits will be large. Spec
ulative foresight has seen this ap-
parently, and is translating it into
higher market values for the indus
trial shares. How far the movement
will 90 is another question.
