Dun's Index Number Shows
Largest Decline This
Year

Wholesale commodity prices on May

AS result of large decline in bread
stuffs and dairy and garden products,
the index number stood at $226665 at

Japanese Banks Expand
New Law Makes Possible Elk
tension Into New FieIds

The bill providing for an alteration
of the regulations governing the opera
lions Of special or semi-oficial banks
having been passed by the Japanese
Diet, the Nippon Kogyo Ginko Japan
Enterprise Bank, Bank of Corea and
the Bank of Formosa are considering
steps to extend their operations. The
Kogyo Ginko will establish branch in
Kobe and add new director to the
management, with the object of inaugu-
rating the business Of financing ship
ping interests. The bank will pay par
ticular attention to investments in
China, and is making arrangements to
open Chinese bank. Debentures
issued by the Kogyo Ginko to absorb
capital for investment abroad are to be
regarded by the Bank of Japan as being
on a footing with national bonds, and
thus every facility will be afforded for
the operations Of the Kogyo Ginko. Az
to the Bank of Formosa and the Bank
of Corea. the alteration in the regula-
tions relates to the issue of notes and
the gold reserve, and not to the extern
sion of operations. Both banks, how
ever, contemplate extending their bust
ness abroad. The Bank of Corea will
shortly make call on its unpaid capt.
tai, amounting to 100000 yen (s2,492,
500). 1t has recently been deyoting IN
creased attention to exchange business
in China, and further to extend it's OBJ
Grafton in this direction, preparations
are being made to establish a branch
either in London or New York. The
Bank of Formosa is already operating
in South China and the South Seas. and
now contemplates extending operations
to French IndoChina, for which some
officials of the bank are already making
the necessary arrangements in that
part of the world. 1t is expected in the
near future that the capital of the Bank
OF Formosa viii be doubled to 100000
900 yen ($19.940, 0O0).

Liberty Shoes" Expected

Government control Of leather and
footwear is coming nearer. Prices for
hides have been officially fixed for an
experimental period of three months,
and the next natural move would be in
the direction of establishing maximum
prices for leather, which, in turn,
would pave the way for the appearance
of the Liberty shoe," which some
manufacturers believe to be inevitable.
The establishment of standard ma
tional shoe, with maximum price, ac-
companied probably by the fixing Of
maximum profits on other shoes, has
been the subject Of various confer
ences recently. These drastic regula-
tions, of course, will affect the several
hundred shoe manufacturers Of New
England to a greater or less degree,
but the more far-sighted manufacture
ers appear to be Of the opinion that
the creation of a Liberty. shoe" will
not necessarily be harmful to the in

Financing in Canada

Canadian municipalities and prov
inces with maturing obligations to
meet are finding it difficult to arrange
the financing. For example, the city
of Regina is now in the market for
s1,000,O00, to meet an issue Of three
year treasury bills which are maturing.
In ante-bellum years the city would
have borrowed in London. Three years
ago it would probably have come to the
United States. Now it is seeking the
funds in Toronto and Montreal. and is
said to have obtained a portion Of tho
amount required on 6% per cent
basis.

What Is Stock Worth?

With the absence of official informa-
ton concerning the character of the
latest offer by British interests to take
over the International Mercantile Ma
rine Company's English tonnage specu-
lation is now rife in Wall Street over
the possible benefits to the stockhold-
ers if the deal is put over. Some op-
timists have gone so far as to predict
that the preferred stock should be
worth from $125 to $40 a share under
the plan. These same people are not 80
sanguine as to what the common stock
holders would get. All agree, however,
that the outstanding 6 per cent bonds
would be retired at 10, the call price.
1t would not be surprising to see the
old fight between the common and pre-
ferred shareholders revived before the
present negotiations have gone very
far.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

for Dutch and Swiss ex-
change in this market continued to ex-
coed the supply last week, with the
result that rates for bills drawn on
these countries rose in striking man.
ner and were established at new high
records for the war period. Dutch
guilders sold to 81 cents toward the
end of the week, which compared with
481s cents a week ago. The normal
exchange value of the guilder is 40.2
cents. The rate on Switzerland went
to the equivalent of 1856 francs to the
dollar, establishing the value of the
Swiss franc at approximately Is cents,
compared with par exchange value
of 1913 cents.
Foreign exchange bankers said that
the rising strength of exchange on
Holland was due partly to operations
in the market for the account of the
American Red Cross. The available
supply of guilders here has been much
reduced by the falling off of American
exports to Holland, and as "a result
any slight increase in the demand for
guilder exchange tends to advance the
rate sharply.*eAt the same time it must
be remembered that the rate for guild
ers here is. following the rate in Lon
day, where" much broader and more
important market exists for Dutch
exchange. The decline in Swiss ex-
change is due to similar influences
although day to day dealings in Swiss
francs in this market are comparatively
small.
j. Italian exchange rates hardened
somewhat last week on the announce
ment that the United States had adj
vanced another $l0O,000,O00 credit to
italy. Lire eased off again later, how
ever, and closed around 9.o3. Exchange
on London and Paris has ruled steady.
An interesting development during
the week was the completion of ar
engagements between the United States
and the Greek government for the ad-
vance to the latter of 100000, 900
franc credit to be used as basis for
currency circulation in Greece.

The above rates express the cost Of
foreign money in terms of the Ameri-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling at, say, $4.75ss. The intrinsic
parity is $4.S65s per pound. Thus you
say either that pounds are at discount
or that dollars are at premium, which
is owing to the fact that in England
the demand for dollars with which to
settle accounts in this country is greater
than the demand in this country for
pounds with which to settle accounts in
England.
