GERMANY'S "OPEN ROAD INTO INDIA

With India on fire, the classic boast
of the British Empire which has some
thing to do with the course Of the SUI,
will be nothing much more than a
pathetic phrase in history. And Japan,
mere nervous fly perched on the
edge Of frying pan.
1t will do more than that. 1t will
mean the breakup Of the British En-
pre. 1t will put, not only the British,
but all the rest Of the Entente Allies
into the worst embarrassment imagi-
nnblc. 1t will cripple their cotton supply

her northern frontier, because either
the British, who are already there, or
the Japanese troops, who might be sent
IN there, will not help her materially
to keep open free line Of railway

Germany docs not wdYst to do that until

L. S. SteH Common and its Diuidends
HUTRSIS

Years ago. when the L. 5. Leather
Co. predecessor of the Central
Leather CO., securities were traded
in on the New York stock exchange,
a well-to-do Brooklyn man bought
a thousand shares Of L. s. Leather
preferred. which was then selling
around 20, and paying seven percent
dividends. This netted MIN 10 per
cent on the investment He then
went TO his bank. arranged for a
long time loan at FIVE percent, and
deposited the 1000 shares as col
lateral.
His income from the dividends on
the 1000 shares amounted TO 81
600 per annum. The cost Of carrying
his loan at the bank was S3.500. His
net income was $500 per annum
and so far as can recollect, it was
never interrupted.
The risk he ran was that L. s.
Leather would pass or reduce its
preferred dividend. Had the divi-
dend been reduced to ID percent,
there would have been no profit in
the transaction for him, and during
the period of reduced dividend, his
stock would have shrunk in market
value and his bank would have call
ed on him for additional collateral.
Too many people are beginning TO
regard the present position Of L. S.
Steel common as similar. Paying SIT

DUN'S REVIEW

Dun's Review of Chicago Trade
says:
Retail business has been sur

buying stimulated by favorable
weather and a plentiful supply of
money. High prices do not deter
purchasers and demand is especial
ly good for furs and the better quail
ity Of womens and children's gar
ments Orders received by whole
salers, both by mail and from the
road, continue in volume greater
than at this time last year, crl ship
ments also are heavy.
The textile trade has become
reconciled 10 another 80 days of un-
certainty because of the action Of
the price fixing committee in defer
ring its revision OF prices until Nov.
10. Prices meanwhile hold firm,
but merchants have difficulty in
covering their needs. even on con
ditions making liberal allowance for
future developments as to prices
and deliveries.
Fixing Of shoe prices on a lower
level and shortage of sales help has
retarded business in that line to
some extent, but merchants show
no uneasiness. as ample time will be
allowed for the moving of stocks
bought at the old prices, and it
seems likely that the filling OF i'm
mediate wants Will readily consume
present holdings of goods.
Merchants are in the city mar
kets in large numbers. Collections
are easy"

the government was not discourag-
ing such operations. a certain
amount Of risk in this direction
might be justified; but there are
numerous other considerations. The
Steel corporation may in another
year be called upon to pay taxes
that would necessitate a reduction
from the II percent dividend. The
government might require that all
over $40 per share in earnings and
