RECIPES THAT SAVE
WHEAT CONSUMPTION

Oatmeal yeast bread is coarser
than wheat bread, and is not umr
like graham bread in appearance.
Dit has a sweet, niutty flavor, much
Eliked by persons who care for
EWhole wheat -or dark breads. Some
E6are is necessary in combining the
Erolled oats with the mdxture. The
kmost satisfactory method has been
found to be that of pouring the
Ehot Iquid over the rolled oats,

rather slowly (about half am hour.
Longer soaking of the oats produces
Ra somewhat moister bread. The

Norwegian Shipping Profits

A Norwegian shipping company. just
dissolved, has had an unusual career.
At the recent dissolution a dividend
Of 1000 per cent was paid. The com
pany started in 1915 with a capital
Of about s27O,OOO. Since that time it
has handled ships and contracts TO the
value Of about S13,5OO,OOO, and its es-
timated earnings are about S6,7OO,OOO.
War taxation has Melted both state
and municipality not a little of this
amount. The last fortunate transac-
ton of this company was the sale Of
its American contracts in the United
States. There were six ships OF 5000
tons each, which had been bought,
four at 500 per ton, one at Sis, and
one at Sl40 Three of them. which
were expected 20 be ready in Septem-
Der, 1917; October, 1917, and February,
1918, respectively, brought an aver
age price Of 5000 a ton; two 70 be ready,
respectively, in November, 1917, and
January, 1918, $50 ton; the sixth ship
brought S2l5 a ton. Previous 20 this
sale az the end Of the year the COM
pany had a surplus of s1.S75,OOO. From
this a 40 per cent dividend was de-
clared for shareholders. Taxes and
insurance took about 100000 Of this
amount.

Whiskey and Corn

With corn nearing two dollars and a
half a bushel, farmers in the West are
RAPIDLY marketing their stock, and IN
less some change is brought about, or
some action taken 20 restore coarse
grains 20 something resembling a nor
NAL relation with wheat, not only VIII
the country's meat cattle reserves be
seriously reduced. but there will be a
great wastage of wheat through its use
FOR animal feeding. No farmer can be
expected 10 sell wheat ard buy back
corn at equal or higher price. An I'M
mediate influence on the price Of cash
corn. and for several weeks past an IN
doubted factor in the stimulation OF
prices. is the abnormal buying by dis
til!ers. Just how great this IS cannot
be determined, but grain men agree
that its volume. in connection with the
extremely limited supply, has been SUI
fcient not only 20 divert corn IN great
quantity from its legitimate use, but
also 70 add most substantially 20 the
enhancement Of prices. This IS, or
course, wholly due 20 the delay IN Con-
-ress. The distil,ers, faced with early
prohibition of the use Of grain for
hiskey making, are naturally deslrou5
Of accumulating a maximum amount or
raw spirits beforehand. In this they
run no risk, for, in the absence OF the
improbable absolute prohibition ac-
ton. the worst they would have TO look

Australian Zinc Situation

On several occasions recently we
have referred in our mining columns 20
the difficulties experienced by Austria
liam base-metal producing companies in
connection with the smelling OF their
semi-refned products. which before the
war we're mainly shipped 20 Germany.
In regard 10 copper and lead, the exist

time tntir capacity is sufficient to meet
practically all requirements. While
however, there is good reason to be
satisfied on this score, IL IS 10 be re-

great delay that has occurred IN estao-
fishing the zinc smelling industry
within the empire? u appears 20 be
due primarily 20 the lack Of early sup
port from the home government, but
partly also 20 the d,iatory attitude
lately adopted by the producers them
selves. Not until nearly two years or
war had elapsed did the British gov

and then only after vigorous represen-
cations had been made by the Austria
Ian Prime Minister. Moreover, the
help thus afforded has been confined

Apart from this, the establishment OF a

has been left 20 private enterprise.

drawbacks, if we may judge from the

of the Liberty Loan will probably be
launched in a very short time, per-
haps within a few days. In spite of
the recent report that the offering

vailing opinion in the financial dis
trict is that the loan will be brought
out not later than October Is, and
possibly by October l. If the date
is advanced, it is probable that there

The Dollar In Foreign Exchange

Quiet ruled in the local foreign eX-
change market during the last week.
The principal development was an cas-
ing tendency in the Scandinavian eZ-
changes. The week before rates on
Stockholm, Copenhagen and Christian.a
moved TO new high records. Last week
substantial recessions occurred and
foreign exchange bankers attributed
the tendency In part 70 the employ
ment Of scandinavian balances hero in
the purchase of American securities.
This, temporarily, at least. defers the

Italian exchange moved against Rome
last week as a result Of liberal offer

keL French exchange was also slight
" easier. Sterling bills continued to
hold firm around the so-called peg
prices. Interest in the Russian ex-
change situation was revived by an
other drop in the rublc price, which
touched a low record level for the year
on Friday at 2O.7O cents, followed by
a moderate recovery.

three Billions
In Three Weeks"
The Loan Slogan
New Methods To Be Used
in Next Liberty Bond
Drive

Three billions in three weeks will
be the slogan in the publicity drive to
sell the second Liberty Loan Of 1917.
o. A. Price, director Of the general
publicity committee, who was in this
city yesterday comforting with mem
beers Of the local publicity group, said
every effort would be made 10 market
the entire issue during that period in
the most intensive campaign the coun-
try has yet witnessed.
Mr.. Price said he could not give de-
tails or terms of the new issue be-
cause all Of them had not yet been
definitely decided upon by Secretary
Of the Treasury McAdoo. IN his opin-
ion, however, there will be no change
in the rate over the last $1,000, 100000
offering, as extra legislation will be
required 70 establish higher interest.
To Secure Cooperation
II will be several weeks yet before
the publicity campaign will be formally
launched, according to Mr.. Price,
though preliminary work will COM
mence soon. In the meantime he will
get in touch with the twelve Fedora!
Reserve districts and cooperate with
various organizations and bankers in
their preparations for the fall drive
10 sell Liberty bonds.
GUY Emerson, vice-pres!dent OF the
National Bank Of Commerce, who VII!
have the title Of director Of publicity
for this Reserve district, will return
from an extended vacation next week.
Il is expected that he will announce
then the methods that are 20 be used
in the handling Of the loan here. That
there will be the heartiest cooperation,
with headquarters at Washington, was
the statement Of Mr. Price yesterday.
Departures
Mr.. Emerson's statement, It is be-
Eeved, will announce some departures
from the methods pursued in the last
Liberty Loan campaign. Among these
viii be greater Capitalization Or
authority in one body or group OF
bankers.
The preliminary publicity work on
the new loan is now being carried on
in Offices or the fourth floor Of the
Equitable Building. Later, however, 10
is expected that permanent quarters
will be established az 90 Wall Street,
where the COMMITTEES on bond disyribl-
ton held forth in the last campaign.
