Industrial Activity in
Brazil Expanded by War

The war in Europe has had remark
able effect upon Brazil as far as in
dustral activity is concerned. Manu-
featuring iii that country has greatly
expanded. Cotton textiles. silk and jute
goods, shoes, hats, agricultural ma
chinery are all being produced in the
State of Sac Pauo. The output of
footwear in Brazil is now about 2OCOO,-
900 pairs year, over half being pro
duced in Sac Paulo. That state has
73 textile mills of all sizes. The fac
tories are we'll equipped, many of them
being driven by hydro electric power
the remarkable expansion of which in
the vicinity of Rio and Sac Paulo has
deve eloped industrial centres of the first
Importance. Cottons of fair grade and
cassimeres of high quality are pro-
duced. Considerable more than half of
the home needs in cotton textiles were
supplied by Brazilian manufacturers
even prior to the war, and the increase
of textile manufacturing during the
war has been one of the notable feat
urcs of the general expansion Of Brazil
ian industry In 1917 Brazil exported
cotton textiles to France

Hedley Promises to
Obey p. S. c. Order
If He Can Get Men
lnterborough's Vice-Presi-
dent Says Better Service
Depends Upon Labor
Situation

Vice president Frank Hedley declared
yesterday that the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company will, if possible, obey
the Public Service Commissioners
order requiring the company to oper-
ate more cars and make better train
headWay on the new "H" subway sys-
TEN.
But, he added the company cannot
obey the order if it cannot ret suf-
tlcient men to run the trains. He said
he had not yet been officially served
with the order.
Mr.. Hedley declined to comment on
District Attorney Swann's assertion
that individual officials of the Inter
borough will be prosecuted if they
1all to comply with the mandate, but
expressed the belief that the company
will be able to furnish the required
service by September Is, when the
order goes into effect
have nothing to say regarding
prosecuting any of the officials of the
company IN the event of failure to COM
ply with the order," he said. "If we
can't get enough men to run the TRAINS 6
we can't obey the order and that will
be another question as to what will
be the result.
The only reason we haven't given
better service before is that we couldn't
get the men. We increased our en-
ployes' wages very substantially on
September !, however, and since then
we have added several hundred more
men. believe under the new wage
scale we may be able to get sufficient
help to comply with the order. We
most certainly shall make every effort
to furnish the service REQUIRED bv the
commisS on."

Canadian Concerns Get Large
Munition Contracts From
American Government

Especial Correspondence OF The Trtbune)
OTTAWA, Sept. S.-Canadian makers
of munitions in recent months have Sc
cured American orders to the amount
of nearly 100000, and it is said or
ders may be doubled or trebled in the
near future. The United States is max
ing war on such an enormous scale as
to tax all its own industries and this
caused a big overflow TO Canada.
The discrepancy in prices paid for
munitions in the United States and
Canada III certain cases is explained
by the fact that in the former country
manufacturers new to the munition
business have, on initial orders, been
allowed rate having regard to their
capital outlay, as was the case at the
inception of the shell business here.
When the industry is fully established
the situation is different and no allow
ance is made for the primary outlays
or plant.
The appeal of the Muntion Board fo-
increased output has met with a splen-
did response by munition makers all
over the country. The prescribed limit
is being fully lived up to and the prices
allowed are regarded as wholly salts

Of $2,169,S77,364
Despite Liberty Bond Buy
ing, Showing Is Second
Best on Record

ALBANY, Sept. 8.-Despite heavy de-
mands made upon investment institu-
tons in connection with the placing of
Liberty Loan bonds by the national
government and the increased cost of
living the 141 savings banks of New
York State made an excellent showing
in their reports to Superintendent Of

dends credited to depostors on the
books Of the institutions and not with

1918, of over S250,o00, the total amount
due depositors on the latter date being
81 ,991, ,720,349
The deposits with savings banks dur
ing the year ending July 1, 1918, ex-
Guiding dividends credited, amounted
to $44S, pol, which was S54 ,280,7 TAB
less than the amount deposited during
the previous year.
The total amount withdrawn during
the 1918 period was S521 ,29S,363, or
$55, ,447,6 more than the amount with
drawn during the preceding year.
Par value surplus cf the institutions,
upon which taxation is based, July l,
1918, was S2l7,313,64S, an increase dur
ing the year of SIS 5,634056.
The total number of open accounts
on July !. 1918, was 3,446,S99, a net
loss of 1922 accounts during the year

Canada Preparing
For Victory Loan
Thought That Subscriptions
Are Likely TO Total
$4OO,OOO,OOO

Especial Correspondence Of The Tribunel
TORONTO, Sept. 8.-By the middle
of the current month preparations for
the launching of the new Victory Loan
in Canada will be we'll under way. The
organization is being perfected and
every community in he Dominion will
be thoroughly canvassed. The loan will
be launched under auspicous condi-
tions, and the bonds will likely be sold
at par. witt interest 1T the ra1c If 5 1a
per cent. The loan will probably be is
sued in October.
The successful manner in which the
Victory Loan Committee handled the
market for the old bonds will make the
next loan popular. When the first VIC
tory Loan was launched. year ago,
the people were told that the bonds
would be as readily realizable as bank
savings. The government has lived up
to this promise
The amount that will be sought by
the government will probably be $400,-
100000 or more, although the nominal
amount will probably be $3.50 100000.
This would bring the total of domestic
loans fioated to 81 $1,150,000,000.

90 Much Money
A Japanese View

Discussing the tremendous rise
m commodity prices IN Japan, avhich
lea to the recent rice riots, DR.. Fu-
hutd To6uSo, q noted Toxic econo-
mast, made the follouanq statement
before the Statistical Society of that
city,
| have recently made a careful study
of the advance in the price of COM
modltles from the statistical point of
view and I still hold the same conclu-
sion l have always held The present
advance in the price Of commodities is
due to the fact that the Bank of japan
has been and is issuing convertible
notes which are actually but very little
different from inconvertible notes. In
TACT, the Bank of Japan is issuing notes
to considerable extent beyond the
limit prescribed, for they are covered
by gold reserve the greater portion
of which is held abroad, the gold re-
serve in the vaults Of the bank being
very limited. Nevertheless the issue
of notes is being steadily increased,
although there is no adequate gold re-
serve at home. Thus it seems that the
notes are practically inconvertible,
though convertible in name.
Last year the Finance Department
prohibited the taking out of gold over
100 yen in value from this country, and
smelling was also tabooed In the cir
cumstances it is useless for US to get
Bank OF Japan notes converted into
gold; hence it follows that the notes
in our possession are practically incon
vertible.
The present conditions in our country
are much the same as in Great Britain.
where, unlike other belligerents, the
convertible system is maintained.
Though there has thus been no change
in the convertible system, in form,
there has been vast change in prac-
tice, the present convertible system
being practically the same as the in
convertible system. I have compared
the daily issue of Bank of Japan notes
and the price of commodities in Toxic
and eight other cities since July, 1914,
and have discovered that the increase
in the issue Of banknotes has synchron-
lied with the advance in the price of
commodities. | have further ascer-
tanned that the amount of total cur
rency,> bank deposits and the amount
of bill clearings have similar bearing
upon the price of commodities In
short, while there are of course various
reasons for the present advance in the
price of commodities | am inclined to
find the fundamental reason is the in
creased issue of convertible notes,
which are practically unredeemable.
