by rusts and leaf spots, the diseased

For powdery mildew, the control

PUBLIC TAKES FEW SHARES
IN FARM LOAN BANKS
Government to Supply S8,s7o,ooo OF
Funds Required Under New Act

Washington, Feb. 15.-Public sub
scription 10 the stock Of the twelve
Federal Farm Loan Banks took up only
$4,000 shares, of value of sl3O,Ooo'
and the government will supply the
remaining sS,S7O,OOO.
The Farm Loan Board, in announc-
ing the figures to-day, made it clear
that public subscription had not been
thought desirable in view Of the fact
that the stock is redeemable at par
and that within year or so at most
the banks would buy back the stock
from its original holders.
Thus, in the case of the Baltimore
bank. to which public subscriptions
aggregated about $500, the board de-
clined to entertain a suggestion made
by a Baltimore banker that the entire
stock issue be underwritten in that
city.
Complete returns of the stock sub
scriptions have not been received from
four of the twelve districts. Returns
tabulated thus far show that the great
est amount, about 5000 shares, were
subscribed for the Omaha bank. Other
detailed reports are being tabulated.

Mackay Companies
May Pay 6 Per Cent
Profits on Telegraph Business
Reflect Business Activity

Directors of the Mackay Companies
are considering the ACCESSIBILITY Of in
creasing the dividend on the common
stock from to 6 per cent year.
The report for the year ended Jan
uary 81 last, issued yesterday, showed
balance. available for dividends on
the common stock equivalent TO 6.48
per cent, compared with 5.36 per cent
the preceding year. Total income of
the company for the year amounted to
$4,683 ,265, compared with $4,274,941 in
1915.
Clarence II. Mackay, president of
the company, said: Telegraph and
cable lines naturally benefit by great
business activity. involving speedy
communications and quick transactions,
and the last year has proved no ex-
ception to this rule. The present con-
dition of trade, however, is feverish,
and there are few who do not now
believe that upon the cessation OF the
war trade will decline. Meantime,
large income taxes are being imposed
everywhere, and those taxes are perma-
nent, and probably will increase rather
than decrease even after the war. A
higher rate of dividends and interest
even from the best of securities is
now necessary. if such securities arc to
retain reasonable market value and
satisfy investors, and as the earnings
of your company fully warrant, your
trustees have under consideration the
advisability Of increasing the dividend
upon the common shares from per
cent TO q per cent per annum. or 1 n
per cent per quarter. instead of IA
per cent hitherto paid. -

SMALL GREENBACKS TO
MEET DEMANDS OF TRADE
Notes Of 81 and 50 Denomination
Make Appearance

Notes Of 81 and So Denomination
Make Appearance
As a result of the recent decision OF
the Secretary of the Treasury to issue
81 and 81 United States notes for the
purpose of relieving the unprecedented
demand for small bills, due to the
abnormal expansion of business. the
local sub-Treasury has begun paying
out greenbacks, form Of currency
with which the majority Of the present
generation is not familiar. The IS
suance of the 81 and 81 greenbacks
was discontinued in 1885, and since
then has not been resumed until the
present time.
The issuance of greenbacks does not
increase the total amount of United
States notes outstanding, which is fixed
bv law. The Secretary of the Treas
ury is only increasing the notes Oh
small denomination by converting
notes of larger denomination-SlO and
upward-into 81 and 81 bills. Out oil
sS46. 6s1 ,016 Of greenbacks outstanding
there were. on January l last, s1O2,-
445,3OO in denominations of $40 and
upward.

Trade of Italy

The adverse balance of trade for the
first ten months of 1916 is s5lS,00O,-
900, as against s4O2,OOO,OOO during the
twelve months of 1915. The adverse
balance for the whole year of 1916 is
expected to be about S6OO,O00,OOO.
Purchases from the United States have
bulked largely in the total volume of
trade. Imports from the United States
were to the value of S363,5OO,OOO; Italy
sold to the United States only $780,
600 900 worth-most of it in silk. The
greater part of Italian purchases in
this country was in foodstuffs ard raw
materials for munition manufactures.

Just when the car supply status
tics indicated that the efforts OF
railroad officials to solve the trans
portation problem were meeting with
success winter frightened its grip IN
real earnest and the German gov
eminent announced its ruthless sub
marine campaign. Now signs are
everywhere apparent that the car
shortage and traffic congestion are
becoming increasingly acute. AT the
same time, the reactions on trade
and industry are apparently more
pronounced than at any time since
the overwhelming tide of commerce
began to swamp the transportation
facilities, some eighteen months ago.
Mile-long strings of loaded cars are
tied up at various points, and the
new embargoes announced almost
every day add to the tenseness Of the
situation.
So far the adverse effects OF the
freight blockade have been mostly
confined to a relatively few indus
tries and have not been fully re-
flected in the statistics of trade vol
ume. but it is the basic industries
which are suffering most, and these
have innumerable ramiflcations.
Consequently, it is obvious that If
the fiuidity of traffic continues to
CONCEAL to such an extent as 1t has
in the last two or three weeks the
whole business structure will before
long feel the effects and a consld-
cradle reduction III the volume OF
trade will ensue. Indeed, with the
business world in a vacillatlng mood
owing to the complexities In the IN
ternational situation the reaction
might easily assume grave proper
tions, especially if there should be
added the complications which would
attend a declaration of war on Ger
many.
Already many fires have been
banked in the steel trade. The Iron
Age" says that 20 per cent OF the
producing capacity in the Middle
West is idle, owing not only to IN
ability to deliver finished products,
but also to the fact that 1t is i'm
possible to procure adequate sup
plies of raw materials. Concurrent
" there are reports of equally en-
barrassing conditions IN other
trades. Manufacturers in not few
cases are either forced to suspend
production pending the restoration
of something approximating normal
traffic movement, or else store their
output. Some of them have resorted
TO the former alternative.

The above rates express the cost OF
foreign money in terms of the Ameri-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling for s475h; the intrinsic par
ity is s4S6% per pound. Thus, you
say either that pounds are at dis
count or that dollars are at pre-

in England the demand for dollars

urgent demand being made upon the
railroads by exporters to move -four
wheat and other grains sold to the
Allies. Thousands of cars loaded

millions of bushels more are stored
