War Depreciates
Shares Of Breweries
And Distilleries

The certainty that the liquor manu-
featuring concerns in the United States
will be heavily taxed as result of the
war and the possibility of country
wide prohibition legislation in order TO
conserve for food purposes the gram
now used by the brewers and dlstlllers
has caused much nervousness among
many holders of securities IN such cor
porations. On the Stock Exchange prices
of the shares of some of these COM
panies have undergone substantial de-
clines. The director of one large COM
pany announced recently that ne favor
ed the dissolution of his corporation.
In view of the rather untavoraole
outlook for the future of the liquor
business in the United States, figures
compiled in England showing the de-
cline in prices of the shares of the
leading brewery and distillery COM
panies of Great Britain since the war
began in 1914 are Of special interest.
In most cases they show very marked
depreciation in market value, although
recently there was some slight I'M
provement from the bottom prices.
In the following table it will be noted
that out of twenty-three companies
only in the case Of six are the shares
selling above the July, 1911 level:
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-06-17

count Of approximately 81 per cent.
Its normal value is 5l2 cents. The
fall Of 20 cents TO its present level
has occurred in the last month.
The head OF private banking house
with important international connec-
tions in discussing the position of rubie
exchange expressed no surprise at the
decline. He attributed the movement
to combination Of factors, chief Of
which was the collapse of Russian
credit at home. where paper currency
is nov being printed almost as fast
as the presses can turn it out. Re
course 20 this method Of financing was
taken on a large scale recently, It IS
stated. when an attempt to float an in
ternal loan did not meet with success.
In the local exchange market much Of
the selling OF rubles has been from
apeculators. who bought at higher
prices in hopes of rise in the rate.
No change occurred in the Spanish
exchange situation. and pesetas went
higher again. touching a new record
for the war period Of 23Ss cents. More
gold was taken for export TO Spain at
the end OF the week The continued
rise in pesetas is due to the fact that
exchange is running heavily in favor Of
Spain, owing TO the large Allied pur-
chases in that market.
French and Italian rates eased off
during the week. but the movement
was not significant. Sterling was we'll
maintained around si.T5i2, the level
at which the bankers have been holding
the market for Two years.
IF you calculate the cost Of the dollar
in terms OF foreign money-that is, as
II you were buying dollars with pounds,
marks or francs-its value at the close
of last week, az compared with a year
ago, would be about as follows:

The Paper Cure

IRON The London EcoronisO
One Of the evil results of the bad cx-
ample set by the government in de-
preciating the currency BY imitation IS
the encouragement that is thereby
given TO schemes for the improvement
of mans lot, by providing him not
with more goods TO enjoy, but with
more paper money wherewith to put
prices up against himself.
For instance, at the meeting of the
Jonian Bank. held last Tuesday, Mr..
Larkworthy, its chairman, returned 70
the charge with his proposal for recon-
structing our currency arrangements
and helping to pay for our war debt by
a food Of fresh paper. The model that
he proposes to follow-though not, as
VIC shall show, in highly important es-
sential-is that Of Greece. as constr
tinted under the Valaoritis scheme.
Among his reasons for doing so Is the
fact. as he calls it, that Greece pos
sesses "the highest gold reserve -lOo
per cent-in proportion TO its circula-
ton Of any country" but we gather
from another passage IN Mr.. Lark
worthy's speech that Greece's gold re-
serve was not in gold at all, but was
held in "short, interest-bearing Sc
suri.ies." The Greek currency scheme
has no special magic; like the Indian
Brazilian, Mexican and many other
forms Of what is called the gold ex-
change standard, IL works admirably as
long as the country that adopts 1t can
maintain a balance in foreign centres
on which 10 draw in order to supply
Local demand for remittance. and 30
maintain exchange. As has been shown
bv the examples Of Brazil and Mexico,
such a system is by no means a sure
shield against all possible economic
shocks. In Greece the scheme was only
established. as Mr.. Larkworthy. in his
i,,ereating historical sketch OF IT. re-
lated. after many years OF regular
withdrawals Of paper currency by
which the paper drachma had been
finally raised 20 the par rate. 25.2S1s.
Similar action in our case, IN order
70 bring the pound sterling up TO par,
as measured BY the foreign exchanges
Mr. Larkworthy ia far from suggesting.
On the contrary, he proposes to repeal

Rediscounting at
Federal Reserve
Bank Is Heavy
Government Borrowing
Causes Little Strain I'm
der New System

Member banks in the local district
during the past week redIscounted at
the Federal Reserve Bank OF New
York on the heaviest scale since the
system was put into operation as
result Of the strain imposed upon their
resources By the government borrow
ing. The weekly statement OF that IN
stitution. issued yesterday. showing
the condition at the close of business
on Friday, disclosed discounts oil
S2iO. 23s,s73, an increase of sll2'so5'-
557 over the preceding week.
This meant that local banks, which
found themselves pressed for funds
with which 20 meet their temporary
obligations to the government, TOOK
part of their investments in CONNER
cial paper and discounted them at the
Reserve institution. receiving IN turn
credits at the Reserve bank or cur
rency.
The Clearing House statement yes
terdav indicated the extent 10 wnlch
the government financial operations IN
connection with the closing of the
Liberty Loan lists had been accom-
plished without greatly affecting the
position of the member banks. Loans
and discounts increased only s2Af2l',

serve requirements was S5i,O50'oo' a
decrease Of sli.s6s, $50 from the pre-

Saturday, June IS, 1917

Inc day. uedlHso III iO0i'y
bonds exercised an influence on the
stock market out of all proportion
to their volume. Only $4,000 of
them changed hands, but the fact
that the break through par on Fri
day did not cause rush to sell, and
the maintenance Of the price at 100
and higher, was largely responsible
for the improvement in sentiment,
which resulted in a general advance
of prices in rather quiet market.
The labor problem grows increas-
ingly acute in the United Kingdom
as time goes on. Scarcely man In
the country who is physically capa-
BILE of work is idle. Employment of
female labor continues on a great
and rising scale. Still, essential in
dustries have difficulty in keeping up
production at top notch. And so
the British authorities have evolved
a new idea for providing workers for
the manufacture of war materials
and the production of commodities of
national importance. 1t takes the
form of an appeal for volunteers
In view of the fact that the labor
shortage in this country will beyond
doubt constitute one of our biggest
war problems "a problem which
threatens to become more trouble
some as the mobilization Of workers
for military purposes proceeds-it
might be we'll for the American au-
thorities to study the British scheme
and adapt it to our own needs.
The plan takes the form of a di-
rect appeal to prepare and carry
through schemes of substitution by
means of joint committees of en-
ployers and work people in each or
ganized trade" These committees
will ask workingmen to voluntarily
abandon work which is not essential
to the conduct of the war and take
employment in an essential industry.
There is nothing compulsory about
the scheme. Moreover, the worker is
guaranteed against loss by reason Of
! a shift of employment. In case he
( changes from one occupation to an
other, it IS provided that he shall be
paid at the wage scale Of the trade
which he abandons. In the event Of
a transfer to the same occupation in
another district, his wages will be
paid at the rate he was receiving
when the shift was effected, or at the
rate of the new job if that should be
higher. And, to further safeguard
him against loss, an allowance for
travelling expenses is provided.
The advantages of such a scheme
are obvious. Not only should it give
reasonable assurance of an ample Ia
Dor supply for the industries in
which production must be kept at
the maximum, but it should also have
a tendency to restrict the output of
luxuries and non-essential goods and,
in turn. to make for national econ
ofny.
