According to lgures published by
Willett g. Gray the total stock in Cuba
and the United States aggregates $685.

Cuba awaiting shipment TO Europe:
Estimating a balance Of production OF
125, 900 tons to approximate to total
crop year Of 100000 tons from which
about $4,000 tons should be deducted
for local consumption during the year,
would leave 10000 tons Of Cuban
sugar yet in sight to be marketed, or
total Of 1853 tons available for re-
fners' MEETINGS. To this can be added
about $4,000 tons of Porto Rican sugar
and $4,000 tons from other sources,
total of 51S,5j3 tons remaining to be
melted. With Atlantic port MEETINGS
including New Orleans, averaging about
1000 tons a week this would give only
about six TO seven weeks supply.
The beet crop will be available by
the end of October, and will cage for
the West and Middle West, but the new
Cuban crop will not be on the market
much before the end Of the year. It is
estimated that Java has a large avail
able supply, but there is a scarcity Of
ships to bring it forward. boarding
by housewives and abnormally large
canning requirements have also con-
tributed to the advance in sugar.

.Ton-Mile Freight
Rate at Low Record
In 1916 Fiscal Year

The average freight rate per ton
mile received by the railways of the
United States in the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1916, TIC mills, was the lowest
on record
"For the million dollar roads the
average receipts per ton mile were 7.07
mills, as compared with 7.22 for the
previous year." the Railway Age
Gazette" says. THE commissions fig
ures cover all roads in the country
having total operating revenues of over
100000 a year The average of 7.16
mills in 1916 compares with 1872 in
1915, 1888 in 1914, and 7.29 in 1913.
Never before, since the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission began publishing
railway statistics, has the average rev.
enue per ton mile been below 724,
which was the figure for 1899. In 1891,
the earliest year for which the COM
mission has the record, the average
was 8.95 mills. Until 1899 there was a
general decline and from that year un-
til 1904 there was an increase TO 7.S0
mills. Since that year the average has
pretty steadily declined. The average
revenue per ton per mile for freight
for each year from 1891 TO 1916. as re-
ported by the commissioner, has been
&C follouS.

An eminent grain stapstician
made a calculation not long ago to
show the tremendous velocity OF
grain speculation. He estimated
that for every bushel of wheat re-
ceived at the primary markets sixty
bushels were dealt in. Obviously, the
greater part of such dealings repre-
sented mere gambling. They con-
tributed nothing useful and proba-
bly much that was harmful to the
distribution of food. All that is
changed now, and it seems alto
gether unlikely that the sort of spec
ulation which went on before war
restrictions were. placed on grain
dealings will ever be resumed.
The National Food Administrator
will have to deal with another kind
os speculation, however. Farmers
are the most inveterate spectators
in grain in the world-that is, they
have the habit of holding the grain
they have produced as long as there
is prospect of realizing higher
prices. 1t will take heroic efforts to
make them disgorge wheat this year.

Russian Restrictions
On Export Of Capital

Details of decree of the Russian
government with respect to the re-
striction of the expectation of Russian
capital have been received by local
bankers. 1t follows:
% 1t is forbidden. without the
special authorization of the Russian
Ministry of Finance. to pay any
rublcs or their equivalent in eX-
change into the accounts OF per-
sons residing or institutions located
abroad, or into those OF their repre-
sentatives in Russia. or 10 enter into
any engagements whatsoever involy-
ing transfers or payments of the
above nature.
(2) This prohibition does not APP
ply TO transfers or payments from
one foreign account to another.
(3) The Russian Ministry of Fin
ance is to set up a special exchange
committee with power 20 grant the
authorization referred to in Article
This committee will also de-
termine the maximum amount which
NAV be transferred TO the credit OF
any one person residing abroad, II
such transfer or payment is not the
counterpart of commercial trans
action.
(p No exchange operations Of
any kind are permitted except
through the agency of such banking
institutions as are included in
list approved by the Ministry of
Finance.
II is asserted that the decree applies
only to new transactions. American
bankers remain perfectly free to dis
pose of any ruble balances already to
their credit in Russia before publica-
ton of the ruling without any special
authorization.
As regards fresh payments OF ru..
bles. however. into the accounts OF
foreigners, even if they are the out
come of business contracted before the
law came into force. special author
ization from the Ministry OF Finance
Is required in each case. Inc ne"
law clearly has in view not 10 hamper
legitimate business with foreign coun-
tries. but to control the market ana
thus to prevent all merely speculative
or unjustihable transfers
Of rubles abroad. By doing so 1t Will
tend TO steady the ruble exchange IN
two ways, both by preventing such
transfers of capital from RUSSIA as
have undoubtedly taken place during
the last few months. with miscnleV-
ouslv adverse influence on the eN-
change. purely for political reasons
and also by restricting payments
abroad more carefully to those re-
quired for imports which are really III
the national interest.

A financial journal presents the
following to show how farmers have
profted by the war demand for agri-
cultural products:
Wheat-A good price prior to the
war was 90 cents. The average price
received for the 1915 crop is approx
mately 81. The difference of sl.lO
bushel on 640,0oo,OOo bushels is
s7O4, 100000 excess profit.
Corn-Pre-war price was 60 cents.
The average for the 1916 crop will
be at least S1.25. The gain of so
cents on $3.50, 100000 bushels is
Si,54s,OOO,OOO.
Oats-Pre-war price was 80 cents.
The average price for the 1916 crop
is so cents. A gain of rs cents a
bushel on 100000 bushels is
sS12,OOO,OOO.
Cotton-The New Orleans Cotton
Exchange reports that for the 1915
crop the value was 1874 cents pound
and that for the year 1915 it was 11.9
cents a pound, and that the increased
value of the crop was 1854, 100000.
The sum total of the above is 49,
118,O00,O00, representing the excess
profits over and above a normal basis
received by the farmers in the coun-
try for the four principal agricult-
ural crops. OF course the aggregate
of the increased profits on the re-
naming crops is very large.
1t is obviously unfair to speak OF
the increases in returns received by
the farmers as "excess. profits" The
wages of farm labor are now at least
three times as much as in the pre-
war period, while prices for seed
fertilizer, agricultural implements
and all the other things, save money
which enter into the cost of produc-
ton, have risen enormously.
Nevertheless, there is no room for
doubt that farmers have prospered
more than any other section of the
population. And in spite of that
patent fact, they have shown ex-
IRENE reluctance to respond to the
nations call for financial help, rural
subscriptions to the first Liberty
loan being VIGOROUSLY small. Prob
ably that was mainly owing to the
impossibility of personally soliciting
subscriptions from more than a rela'
lively small number of them In 8
hurriedly organized campaign. The
figures certainly suggest that an in
tensive campaign in the rural dis
tracts for subscriptions to the next
offering would produce gratifying re
suits.

Dutch Gold for Swiss

The Amsterdam "Telegraaf" says
that the Bank Of the Netherlands has
taken steps to transfer gold to the
Swiss National Bank as a result Of the
high rate Of exchange on Switzerland.
II is stated that the Netherlands Bank
will place the means Of payment which
are available in Swiss currency at the
service Of Dutch traders. Bankers
wishing TO avail themselves thereof
must, however, previously show that
the payment is POI the benefit Of Dutch
trade and 10 not for srbitrage purposes.

Banks Face Serious
Shortage Of Help as
Workers Are Drafted
Large Institutions Plan to Re-
place With Women Clerks
Called to the Colors

Leading banking institutions in the
financial district will face a serious
shortage of men if the number Of en-
ployes eligible for service in the new
National Army are called TO the colors.
Many of these have already been de
clared physically fit by the examining
boards and are likely to be called.
In cases where the services of the
men are particularly needed some of
the banks have declared their intention
of putting in exemption claims in be-
half of their employees. That such a
policy is considered necessary was the
view taken yesterday by an official Of
the National City Bank, whose en-
ployes number more than fifteen hum
bred Fully half of these are men sub
ject to draft, he said.
The Guaranty Trust Company is an
other institution that will suffer, as it
has on its payroll approximately the
same number of employees as the Ma
tional City Bank. II has already lost
score or more men through enlist
ments in the officers reserve corps and
stands to lose many more from the
army draft. 1t is the intention of this
company 10 replace its men so far as
practicable by women.
"The entrance Of the United States
into the European war is woman's OPP
portunity," said an official. "If they
would learn to take the places of the
men who will be called TO the colors
they will be performing a much greater
service than by trying to embarrass
President Wilson by their recent per-
formances at Washington"
Brokerage Offices as we'll as the banks
will lose many of their employees
through enforcement of the draft law.
The head of one commission house de-
clared yesterday that their force will
probably be depleted by fully one-half.
The same story was told in other Of
fees. Either young women or men
above the draft age will be sought to
fill their places.
Exemption for its own employees and
those of the Federal Reserve Banks
from military service will not be gem
rally asked by the Federal Reserve
Board, according to a recent announce
ment of Governor Harding. In view
of this policy adopted by the central
board the local Reserve Bank will lose
several of its employees.

Money and Credit

Money rates continued TO display a
hardening tendency in the local mar
ket yesterday. This was apparent in
the case of fixed date loans secured by
Stock Exchange collateral. Bankers
again showed disposition to restrict
their offerings, preferring in view Of
the numerous uncertainties and the
impending governmental demands, 70
confne their operations for the most
part to call loans. Sixty-day loans Sc
cured by industrial collateral were
quoted by brokers at AZ TO per cent;
ninety days at 5h per cent, four
months at 5h TO 5h per cent, and six
months at 6h per cent. Loans on n
mixture OF railway and industrial secu
rifles we're quoted AZ TO AZ per cent
for sixty-day maturitieS, AZ to AZ per
cent for ninety days, AZ TO 8 per cent

blue Sky Law in
Minnesota Fails to
Reach Schemers
Legitimate Ventures in Danger of
Being Handicapped by Attempt
to Curb Unworthy Promoters
Minneapolis, August Is.

minneapolis, august 10.
When the Minnesota Legislature of
1917 passed the blue sky" law and
created the State Securities Commits
sion it was believed that even New
York itself would be Impressed and
likewise affected by what was pro-
nounced epoch-making legislation. 1t
was intended that not only should un-
worthy promoters within the state be
cut out Of business, but that quietus
would be put upon divers and sundry
persons who, from the outer fringes
of Wall Street, through seductive adj
vertisements, long have caused hope
ful money to go out of the state, none
of it ever IN come back.
1t was believed in all seriousness
that after months of deliberation, in
which the experience and constructive
ideas of every other legislative body
in the country were used for guild
ance, something really effective had
been done here.
To-day the inability of the law to
reach the schemes that may stand for
inevitable losses of money Of investors
and the danger also of handicapping
legitimate ventures are seen. II is
being found that it is a whole lot
easier to talk of putting the schemers
out of business than it is to frame a
law that will do it and not put others
out of business that are worthy. The
airplane industry is cited as an illus
tration. A company proposing to
build airplanes and offering stock with
prospectus representing the opportu-
mites that now exist might be unable
20 show
THAT il was sure it would make the
number of airplanes a year that its
advertising named.
THAT it knew for certainty that it
could sell the planes.
THAT is was actually as yet turn
ing out the planes.
THAT it had all the material of
which it Durposed making the planes
bought and paid for and on hand
Yet it is possible that such venture
might be successful. Who can tell?
Minneapolis and st. Paul newspapers
meanwhile are carrying advertisements
of oil lands in Texas. A company Or
ganized in Minnesota bought approx
mately a section of land. IL cut it into
lots, 20x20 feet in size. and is offerir
them for $50 each, these little parceIs
being parts of 40 acres that were
plated into blocks of two acres each.
In each two-acre tract the company re-
tains two of the 20x20 parcels, on
which it promises to drill for oil, and
the purchasers of the other parcels
are given stock in the oil-drilling COM
pany.
Why not?
1t is perfectly legitimate to sell land.
True, the promoters probably paid
$50 an acre if they paid what Texas
land thereabouts is worth, and true.
also, if they sell it all they will take
in about $4,000 an acre. Who is 60
ing to stop them if people want to buy
their land, remembering that they do
not guarantee that they will strike oil,
but do guarantee that they will drill
for it. and doubtless will.
TIE basic conception of blue sky"
law is protection of the people; at
least that was the idea in Minnesota.
But who shall say that the buyer of
a $50 parcel of Texas land. 20x20 feet,
will not find that it is oil land?

Dealings on the Stock Exchang

Dealings on the Stock Exchange
are almost devoid of significance
these days. Prices make no response
to news of vast import. Peace pro-
posals do not cause a ripple in the
market. Developments in the gov
ernment's taxation programme are
ignored. For the time being price
fixing has ceased to exert a market
influence, other than to restrict
dealings. Traders buy stocks one
day and sell them the next, accord
ing to technical conditions, so that
commission houses make a portion
Of their expenses. 1t is seldom that
the public has displayed such an
utter lack of interest in Stock Ex-
change fluctuations as it has re-
