\ JEWISH STATE
 IN PALESTINE
Marie Treub, Minister, Says This
 Is An International Question

The Hague. Netherlands, October first ministers of a neutral country publicly to express himself in favor of Jewish State in Palestine Is Marie Willem Frederik Treub, Hollands s Minister of Finance, who has fre- Guently been called the Strong man" of the Dutch cabinet.
 The Jewish question Is an inter national problem the solution of which is of world interest" declared Minister Treub in the course of an interview. If an international solu- tion of the Jewish question proves possible, and the formation of Jew ish State Is one of the consequences cs the universal war. I personally should be very pleased. One of the first reQuirem ents would naturally be that the sacred places of Christianity sshould come under the control of Christian authorities or be interna- tionalized. But I do not think difh- culties will rise on that head. Every friend of humanity must desire the rebuilding of the Jewish nation in Zionist sense. Every endeaVOr will therefore have to be made in the direction of transplanting the Jewish people to it's old place of residence an order to solve question that is so { painful for the Jews and for the world N "1t cannot yet be said with certain ty what questions will be discussed at the looming peace conference" con- tlnued MT. Treub, in reply to an in- qniry Whether the Jewish question will come up for discussion depends on the manner in which the peace < snonference is held. The question IS sNxhether peace negotiations will be Festrtcted to the most important points, or whether an endeavor will be made to solve all international questions. In the latter case it may he hoped that the Jewish question will not be forgotten.
 'Here in Holland there is no Jew- dsh question. We know no definite anti-semitic movement such as exists dn Germany and even in Austria. Every able Jew makes his way equally as well as an able Christian in Hol- land. Talent is here the only requisite demanded for success, and with us a gifted Jew may become a cabinet min ister. We are proud of our tradi- < lions of freedom. Holland has never known hatred of Jews or Jewish per-

New England. cotton mills, among
others, have discovered that under
war conditions business is not "as
usual" So far as profits go, they
find little TO complain Of; but many
troublesome factors must be over
come in the course of the process of
I, ansforming raw cotton into the
varied fabricated forms in which it
is wanted by buyers. According to
the First National Bank Of Boston,
all the mills are finding difficulties
in transportation, so that forward
purchases of cotton must be main
tanned in an uncertain market in
order to insure a ready supply.
There has been a further concentra-
ton of war orders for cotton goods,
but prices on all cloths, save fancy
fairies and some fine lines, have
been rising, while a fourth advance
in wages within eighteen months
is about going into effect, making a
rise in labor cost at 40 per cent.
"In so far as may be SEEM" the
bank says, mill costs will continue
on an abnormal plane, but up to the
present time a satisfactory margin
of profit has been maintained, this
being reflected in handsome dividend
returns and constant reductions of
Indebtedness. An expansion Of cap
ital by stock dividends has been
prompted by national taxation re-
qu;rements, or, more strictly speak
ing, cost accounting for taxation
purposes, and all mill stocks have
been unusually active. Much is be-
ing made Of reports OF contracting

tracing labor supplies, and the

Waste Vapors To Be
Made Into Gasoline
Sinclair Oil Plans to Save
$4,000 Gallons Daily-Earn-
inps to March 81

Plants now being constructed by the
Sinclair Oil and Refining Corporation
for the conserving of the gas or vapor
which heretofore has been permitted
to escape from the top Of oil wells, VIII
save approximately $4,000 gallons OF
gasolene daily. This was announced
in the first report Of the corporation
covering the eleven months ended
March 81 last, issued yesterday
Earnings Of the company accruing
through the ownership Of the stock oil
its subsidiary companies included total
gross income Of s9,46S,329 and net IN
come, after interest on notes and bonds
Of s8,636,44O. After dividend disburse-
ments of s2,63s,2l1. the balance avail
able for depreciation and surplus was
s5,99s, 22s.
The Sinclair Oil and Gas Company,
the producing subsidiary, produced and
purchased 1O,417,497 barrels of crude
oil during the eleven months period,
while sales amounted to 7.924,531 bar
rels. OF the oil purchased the com
pany placed 2,492,966 barrels in stor-
age.
II. F. Sinclair. president of the COM
pany, told the stockholders at the an
nual meeting yesterday that during the
eleven months it has been necessary to
make large investments in the extern
sion of pipe lines, additional refneriess
and betterments, large portion OF
which is not producing revenue at the
present time. The pipe line subsidiary
is extending its trunk lines distance
of about 500 miles from the Oklahoma
and Kansas fields to Chicago. The line
t. East Chicago is expected TO be COM
pleted within the next few months
That part of the line extending to Kan
sas City will be in operation by the
middle Of June, when the new Kansas
City refinery will be started up. Mr.
Sinclair said that the prices for the
material used in the construction OF
the pipe line had advanced 10 per cent
since the company made its purchase.
The retiring directors were reelected
and John Kelley, of Kansas City, Mo.
was added to the board. The GATE OF
the annual meeting has been changed
to the third Wednesday Of August.

1917 Cotton Sells
At Best Prices
For the Season
Reports from the South
Indicate Smaller Yield
Exports Larger

New crop deliveries of cotton adj
vanced TO the highest quotations for
the season yesterday in an active mar
ket. The upward movement earned
October contracts about $3.50 a baIe
above the low level OF the last week
the top price for the day being 1888
and the close 1897. Final prices for
other deliveries were also about the
best, and showed gains ranging from
% to 52 points.
Reports from the South indicated q
deficiency of WELD on the next pick
ing. although weather conditions IN the
last day or so have been more favor
able for crop development, and specu'
lation on the buying side OF the mar
ket broadened materially. Such activ-
ity was further stimulated by the be-
lief that the presence of American
warships in the submarine zone would
make larger exports of cotton from
this country possible.
A large share of the buying was on
orders which came over the private
wires from Chicago and other Western
cities where spectators deprived OF
the privilege of trading in wheat and
other cereals are said TO be taking 2
more active interest in cotton and
stocks.
Exports for the day showed large
increase over the day before, being
3.O43 bales. This makes 4,75l, 1854 SO
far this season, against 4,IT,s2o las'
year. Southern spot markets as ON.
cialy reported were unchanged TO z,
points higher, most of the larger
markets showing an advance OF 20 to
so points.
Closing prices in the local market
compared with those the day before
and a year ago were az follows:

Japan's Stock of
Money Increases
Specie Reserve of the Country
Is Equal to $685., 900, 900
in Gold

The specie reserve Of Japan is now
at the highest point ever recorded. On
April IS, 1917, it reached the sum of
774,OOO,OOO yen (s3s5,0O0,O00 gold.
From the middle of March to the mid
die of April the revenue from taxes
amounted to about 130,000,000 yen.
With this amount the government pur-
chased from the Yokohama Specie Bank
specie to the value of about 100000 900
yen (s20,000,000) which the bank had
been accommodating.
This accounts for the sudden in
crease in the governments holdings OF
cash. The Yokohama Specie Bank ap-
piled the amount which came from the
government to the payment of its loans
from the central bank-the Nippon
Ginko. The Specie Banks indebted
ness to the central bank amounted at
one time TO over 100000 yen. To-
day it has been reduced to 56,560,0O0
yen.
OF the 774.OO0,OOO yen. the govern
ment holds 300, 100000 yen and the
Bank of Japan 465 ,OO0,0OO yen. OF the
total Sal 100000 yen are on deposit

Steel prices keep on rising with
monotonous regularity. The aver
age Of eight leading products this
week was $500, against $94.57 a
week ago, SS7.95 a month ago,
S61.07 at this time last year and
S30.S0 on the corresponding date in
1915-an advance Of 200 per cent in
two years. However much other in
dastries may be suffering from
mounting costs of production, it is
obvious that the steel trade is not
falling behind in the race to keep
up profits, because steel prices seem
to be rising faster than costs. The
figures suggest that at least part
of the loss in profits due to supply
ing government requirements at low
prices is being made up at the ex-
pense of private consumers.

Thursday, May II, 1911

On transactions just under a
million shares, prices Of several of
the leading industrial issues on the
Stock Exchange moved upward dur
ing the day TO new high levels for
the year. There was no news of I'M
portance TO account for the ad-
vance: it was merely a continuation
of the movement started the day be-
fore as a result of the improved
outlook in Russia. Indeed, the only
important news having a direct
bearing on stocks-the proposal TO
still further expand the taxation
programme-was adverse. But the
Street chose TO ign1 it, though
recently it has paid more attention
TO the governments scheme for tax
aticn than to anything else.
BY no means all the buying came
from traders who had been selling
the market for the fall. That a
goodly portion Of the purchases
were of that character cannot be
doubted, as the two days recovery
has been so vigorous as TO alarm
even the most rampant Of bears.
But experimenting this demand for
stocks from the shorts there was
evidence of some buying for the
long account. Commission houses
reported an improvement in bust
ness, and while it is doubtful
whether there was any important
increase in the public participation,
which has been small ever since the
drastic cleaning out suffered by the
market earlier in the year, a grow
ing interest on the part of traders
on the long side was apparent How
much this is due TO the more cheer
full sentiment occasioned by the ac-
tual rise in prices cannot be said.
Certain it is, however, that the
present mood of Wall Street is hap
pier now than it has been in weeks.
II such a feeling continues it will
likely have an important bearing on
the success of the Liberty Loan.
/ The wise financier always chooses a
rising security market if he wants
a successful bond fotation.

Italy Aids Farmers

The Italian Ministry Of Agriculture
has issued notice fixing rules where
by agricultural bodies and societies in
Italy may obtain a Government con-
tribution toward the cost of acquiring
tractors for ploughng. The grant will
be conceded to these bodies up to 30
per cent Of the total cost. and, the
Board of Trade Journal states, this
figure may be increased to 40 per cent
in the event Of not less than five trac-
tors being employed in any one prov
ince. In the case of private persons
the grant will not exceed 20 per cent.

spicuous, selling up TO 1925, at
which point it was only fractionally
below the opening price on the day of
the December peace panic. Most Of

ever, suggesting either that Steel
was then out of line with the
