TO STOP BOARDING
Of COAL SUPPLY

Will L. Clark, Federal Fuel Admin
istrator for Arizona, has issued an or
der to all retail coal dealers in the
state, enclosing a form which is to be
filled out by every customer who pro-
poses to purchase in excess of quar-
ter of a ton of coal for domestic use,
and in the event that incorrect an
swers are made to questions asked on
the form, coal dealers are not to de-
liver coal to that customer:
'In accordance with the order of the
United States Fuel Administrator in
Arizona, purchasers are required to
make true declaration in answer to
the following questions:
l. Amount of coal desired.
2. Kind used last year,
8. Approximate amount used last
year.
4. Pounds or tons on hand at pres
ent.
5. Will last approximately ..,.,.,--..
days.
6. Have you any untitled orders
with other dealers.
Il hereby certify that the above re-
port is true to the best of my knowl-
edge and belief"
Name of customer ...,........................
Address
The purpose of this form is to pre-
vent the boarding or over supply of
coal on the part of some consumers
and prevent suffering from the lack
of coal by other consumers, as the ma
ton, our allies and our state are face
to face with serious shortage of coal
during the coming winter months un-
less proper distribution of the avail
able supply is made.

The Rate of Interest

Financial Editor Of The Tribune:
Noting the insistence OF some bank
ers. when discussing war borrowing, OF
"fair rate Of interest" market price
Of money" and so on. which means,
Suppose. increasing rates of interest
whenever new issues are required,
hope they have taken account of effects
on Stock Exchange values.
Is the same thing TO be repeated
here as was done in England; millions
Of value knocked off existing securi-
ties by the competition of government
securities at high rates of interest? 1t
seems TO me that compulsory loan at
low interest rates would be preferable
TO that.
Another point in regard TO the com
ing war loan fotation-that is. the
question Of making it easy for the
small investor who has no bank ac-
count 20 cash his interest coupons.
This trouble. ! believe. has already
operated TO the disadvantage of the
spread Of the 500 bonds of the Allied
loans foated here. The cooperation Of
the SIS man is as important as that

They Ride in Carriages

The Bristol Tramways and Car
riage Company, which was formed in
1874, was one Of the first in England
to take up mechanical street trac-
ton. The gross receipts of this COM
pany during 1916 totalled $2,7O5, 32O.
OF this amount, $1,23S,990 was de-
rived from the operation of the tram
way department and S1,4l6,545 from
the carriage department. The tram
way departments receipts increased
by 21s per cent and those of the car
riage department by IA per cent.
The larger receipts are attributed
chiefly to the prosperity of the wage
earning class. The company has not
raised its fares since the war, and,
owing to contracts, it has not had
much difficulty in obtaining gasolene
for the motor bus services. Fully
900 women are now employed on
street traction and in the works.

Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Improvement in Italian exchange
made further notable progress yester-
day. The rate went to $50 lire to the
dollar early in the day, compared with
500 Thursday, and the closing was ga.
At yesterdays closing level it took
1874 in Italian money to buy one
American dollar, whereas a month ago
1852 was required. The rapid rise in
the value of the Italian lire is due to
the fact that Italy will be one of the
first of the Allies to benefit directly
from our entrance into the war. 1t is
expected that the Italian government
may receive an advance of substan-
tial credit out of the s20O,OOO,OOO Of
certificates of indebtedness which this
country is raising.
Dizziness, accentuated by the APP
proach of the end of the week, char
acterized the rest of the foreign ex-
change market, with a slightly easier
tone in sterling rates. French bills
were steady.
Closing rates yesterday, compared
with week ago, are given in the table
below. American bankers have sus-
pended all dealings in German and
Austrian exchange, so that daily quo.
tations for either marks or kronen are
no longer available.

West Talks War
And Crops, but
Still Keeps Busy
Winter Wheat Much Benefited
by General Rains-Help
for Farmer
Madison, Wis, April 90.

lHuuLSOU, W TO-, II ~ u ~V'
General rains over Oklahoma, Kan
sas and Southern Nebraska last week
came in time to be of incalculable bene-
fit, as we'll as to prevent further de-
terioration of the winter wheat crop.
In swinging northward to Mime
apolis and then south to Madison, one
finds business men in all lines absorbed
in the discussion of war when they are
not talking crops.
For a people whose household gods
are those of practically and common
sense, we are strangely and paradox
cally given to waves of enthusiasm
which is probably due to that inherent
idealism which underlies the hardpan
of American character. 1t is well that
it is so at time when there needs to
be a realization of the supreme fact
that a liberal food supply this coming
harvest is essential, not only to our
domestic we'll being, but equally to the
success of our own cause and that OF
the Allies abroad.
West Is Fully Awake
All the constructive forces in the
West are alive to the possibilities oil
the situation, for the overwhelming I'M
portance of agriculture is an old story
| to them.
A case in point is that of the Agri.
cultural College of the University OF
Wisconsin, which has set to itself the
! task of coordinating and directing those
| impulses of enthusiasm which, untortu-
nately. in the case of others than the
farmer, are hindered and handicapped
| by lack of experience. We need not
concern ourselves with the part the
farmer will play. He will plant every
available acre that his own strength
| and the labor at his command will per
nit. For he has full appreciation OF
an opportunity which may never occur
again. The Agricultural College Is
/ counselling with him and aiding him BY
every possible plan to give him more
labor for his needs, even to the extent
of engaging many high school boys for
this purpose, and as many of their owr
students as are willing and can be
spared.
The amateur gardener and gardener
ess. both doing their bit, are subjects FOL
teaching and instruction, especially tina,
they do not confne. their efforts OF
production to those perishable vegeta'
/ bles. which cannot be stored and which
are apt to be a drug on the market
coming all at one time.
Trade Does Not Lessen
There is much speculation among
bubsiness men as to how the war will
affect the various lines, but meanwhile
there is no perceptible diminution in
the volume of trade. The real concern
is as to what peace will bring. There
are not wanting prophets, false and
otherwise, to accurately foretell coming
events. The only trouble is that the
seers differ much among themselves
II is not a subject for definite pro-
nouncement, but, rather, for the exer-
| else of common sense and such seanty
analogy as history affords.
The common sense side of this propo,,
sition is that, as the demand created
by the war is the originating cause OF
price advances, the cessation of this
demand must inevitably have the con-
trary effect.

Elliott to Quit as
President, but Will
Guide New Haven
Gives Up Detail to Aid Ma
tional Defence, He Says;
Successor Not Chosen

Howard Elliott, chairman OF the
board Of directors and president Of the
New Raven road, will soon be relieved
of some Of the work he has been doing
since he succeeded Charles S. Mellen,
four years ago, by the selection of an
other for president. Mr.. Elliott will
remain as chairman Of the board and
direct the financial policy and the
larger work of rebuilding the property.
Who the new president Of the road
will be has not been determined. The
chances favor the selection Of an oper-
ating man now with the system. +. j.
Pierson, vice-president, and James II.
Hustis. president of the Boston &
Maine. arc the men most mentioned.
Persons familiar with the situation say
that Mr.. Hustis, who left the service
of the New Haven to go with the bos-
ton & Maine, will remain with that
property, leaving the way clear for Mr.
Pierson.
Under the arrangement which the
directors are working out Mr.. Elliott
will be in general charge Of the sys-
tenn. with the new president looking
after the operating and detail work.
The change was made necessary be-
cause the immense amount Of work
Mr.. Elliott had to do menaced his
health. This Mr.. Elliott explained IN
a statement issued in New Haven yes
