A Fine Supply of
Down and Lambs Wool Quilts
AGAINST a Hard Winter

1t is a larger stock than we have
perhaps ever had, and, from what
people tell us, it is distinctly better
from the standpoint of value than
any other stock in Philadelphia.
This we have heard from custom
ers who left here to go and see
other stocks and who came back
again to buy. In some cases whole
salers are asking as much for
down quilts as we are selling them

DOES ADVERTISING PRODUCE
RESULTS?

Mrs. Rollins is convinced that it
does. She lost valuable neck chain
and placed a small lost ad. in the
Echo last week. The chain was
found. John Castleberry lost a purse
two weeks ago containing seven or
eight dollars in rare old coins. He
gave it up but was induced to try a
lost ad. in the Echo. Grandma Glaes-
er found the purse. Last week man
advertised lawn mower for sale and
had an offer for it four hours after
the Echo was out. Last week a
drummer advertised cap lost off an
auto. Mr. Briskey across the river
found it.

ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL

A general idea of the quantity of
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July 1, 1914, to
January /, 1918, is given by figures
just announced by the q. S. Food Ad-
ministration. In that period the Unit
ed States has furnished complete year
ly rations for 57,100,e33 people. In
addition there was enough extra pro-
tein to supply this portion of the diet
for u, 1e4,570 additional men.
The total export of wheat and wheat
flour to the three principal allies is
equivalent to about 3S4.000.0eO bushels
Pork exports for the 81 years amount
ed to almost 2,000,OO00O0 pounds. Elk
ports of fresh beef totaled AS, 4s4, 400
pounds. The amount of food exported
to Russia is negligible compared with
that sent to the western allies.

LUMBER COMPANY SOLD Is OF
IT'S LOGGING CARS.

The Great Northern Lumber Co.
sold fiftcen of its new logging cars
to west side lumber company. They
found the cars too long for advan-
tageous use in their logging opera
tons, and having a considerable
number of the old cars, which are
shorter and better adapted to logging
on the east side of the mountains,
they could well spare the fifteen cars
sent west yesterday over the Great
Northern railway.

Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage in ships that
is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks OF wheat are iso-
lated in India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice in ship space and
use the Allies are forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January 1. Australia had
stored 100,O00,O0o bushels Of
wheat that was ready for ex-
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus of $4,000
600 bushels. Now Australia has
approxima tely 1s0,0OO,000 bush
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time, had
100000 bushels of wheat
stored for export. During April
100000 bushels more out Of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels of wheat left in the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add 185,000,O00 to
the left over.
1t is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist In the
world-it is entirely a problem
of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation of divid-
ing our stock with the Allies.

McAdoo Disapproues
Financial Arrangement
Tribune WASHINGTON BureM

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
has called halt on the deal to sell
the International Mercantile Marine
ships to British syndicate because of
questions affecting the financial ar
rangements involved. The plan, as pro-
posed by the International Mercantile
Marine, it is stated, is that the op-
Grating control of ships of the COM
pany under American registry be re-
tanned in this country through sale of
the vessels to the United States gov
ernment. The company's vessels un-
der British registry, but which are
American owned, were to be sold to a
British syndicate, it is understood.
Secretary McAdoo holds the opinion
that for the government to purchase
the company's vessels under American
registry at prevailing high tonnage
rates would be disadvantageous. 1t is
pointed out that little advantage would
come to the United States from govern
ment purchase of vessels already owned
in the United States.
The allegation that, despite Ameri-
can ownership, the vessels of the Inter
national Mercantile Marine must, under
British law, be operated by British di-
rectors, is declared to be inaccurate.
Secretary McAdoo has been advised, it
is reported, that under the bylaws of
the international Mercantile Marine
all it's vessels may be withdrawn from
British registry and placed under the
American flag. This has further oper-
ated to delay government approval Of
the proposed deal.

Cotton

Early irregularity was followed by
rallies in the cotton market yesterday,
but prices weakened in the later trad
ing, with January breaking from 27.35
to 26.40 and closing at $3.50. The gem
eral list closed steady at net decline
of 35 to rs points.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of 25 points to decline of S

quickly eased off under scattering Ii

At a net loss of 23 to so points prices
steadied on an improved demand from
Liverpool and for time during the
middle of the day showed considerable
firmness on bullish spot advices and
reiterated predictions Of increased ex
ports. Private wires received here
said that holders were refusing to sell
on declines, and it was reported that
an additional allotment of 115,000 bales
of cotton had been made to Spain for
carly shipment. But at net ad

New-York tribune., 1918-11-20

The present year and the next
will be an acid test for the modern
theory of money and prices. It is
an almost universal belief among
bankers, business men and manu-
facturers that present prices are
artificial" prices. On the modern
theory there is no such thing as
"artificiaP' prices, save when a gov
ernment is powerful enough to
establish fixed prices. In the mod
ern view, prices are a simple re-
lation between the existing volume
of business and the existing volume
Of every kind of currency or money,
which in this country means chiefly
the volume of bank credits. Both
trade and currency have a certain
velocity, and these are also factors,
but not powerful ones. The veloc-
ity of money and checks does not
vary greatly, save in times of great
financial stress. The volume of our
credits or credit currency" has
expanded by at least $4,000, 100000
or s8,000,000,O00. This has meant
exceptional profits to the banks.
The latter will not quickly relin-
quish this great line of credits SO
long as there are solvent borrowers
to take them up. In the modern
view, unless this credit currency is
heavily contracted, prices-that is
the relation between these credits
and the existing volume of business
cannot fall.
