Money and Credit

The large transactions last week aris-
ing out OF government operations in
the financial market resulted in impor-
tant changes in the weekly statement
OF the Clearing House banks issued
yesterday. This showed an increase Of
New-York tribune., 1918-05-12

The above rates express the cost Of
foreign money in terms of the Ameri-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling at, say, s4.75ss. The intrinsic
parity is $4.s6ss per pound. Thus you
say either that pounds are at discount
or that dollars are at a 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 whicn to settle accounts in
England.
New-York tribune., 1918-05-12

that is, if you were buying dollars
with pounds, marks or francs-its
value at the close of last week. as com
pared with year ago, would be about
as follows:
New-York tribune., 1918-05-12

To say that a great speculation
would put the market in an ex-
tremely vulnerable position is not to
say that higher prices are not war
ranted. In many cases there Is
little doubt that prices are still
somewhat out of line with intrinsic
values, and every one knows that
they are far out of line with earn
ings. The trouble is that great
speculative movement always gains
momentum very rapidly and is car
ried to extremes. People buy stocks
not on the basis of values but mere
" because prices are rising, and
in the ecstasy of rising prices they
forget that prices cannot go on ris-
ing forever. That is fact that in
variably comes as a painful surprise
in the end, when those who make
the markets have gotten out from
under.

Liberty AS Go Lower

Further weakness developed yester-
day in the IA per cent bonds of the
third Liberty Loan, the price declining
to low Of 1920, compared with the
low sale of sS.4o on Friday, when they
were traded in for the first time. Yes
terday's turnover for the short session
aamounted to S1,305,000, compared with
$,3,5o8,0 for the five hours trading on
the preceding day. The largest blocks
OF the bonds appeared on the tape as
follows: $4,000, the first sale, at
$780, sl53,0oo at $3.50. s3O9,ooo at
9o.24, $4,000 at 1924 and $4,000 at
$3.50. The last, of S88,OOo, was at the
low price
New-York tribune., 1918-05-12

In spite of the warning of the
Federal Reserve Board that loans
for stock speculation must be re-
duced or eliminated, the banks ap-
pear to be lending freely, much more
freely than they have for long
tine. The restrictions which were
ippied through several months ap-
nrently have been abandoned for
Hstime being. 1t is significant, how
ever. that the time money market
IS just as tight as ever, and the
market is perforce being financed
y demand loans, Therefore, if it
continues to expand as it did last
week, the banks will get in a posi-
acn IN which they can control the
course Of the market at will. 1t is
% Do hoped that they will decide
" exercise some restraint on the
market before the orgy of extrava-
CANT speculation can develop.

Relevant Comment
Sumatra's Fall and Rise

The story that the War Trade Board
had decided to permit the importation
to this country Of $4,000 bales of wrap
per tobacco from Sumatra exerted a
depressing influence for time yester-
day on the shares Of the American
Sumatra Tobacco Company. After
opening at 116A the price dropped
quickly to 1877, but rallied before the
close to 116k for net loss OF half a
point The rebound in the stock was
attributed to the announcement that

Heat for Brood Chicks.

The best temperature at which to
keep brooder or hover depends upon
the position of the thermometer, the
style of the hover, the age of the
chickens and the weather conditions.
Aim to keep the chickens comfortable.
AS the operator learns by the actions
of the chickens the amount Of heat
they require, he can discard the Their.
mometer if he desires. When too GOLD
the chicks will crowd together and
try to get nearer the heat.
1t is not possible to say for each
case at what temperature the brooder
should be kept to raise young
chickens, but it will run from 90 to
100 degrees in some cases, as some
broods Of chickens seem to require
more heat than others. Average tenn
peratures approximate 90 to % de-
grees for the first week or ten days,
when the temperature is gradually re-
duced to So degrees for the following
ten days, and then lowered to 20 or %
degrees for as long as the chickens
need heat, This defends sofaawimfpn
the season 6 thefy e6r and TIE nun nun

lily seen that th heat generated By sc
chickens would raise the .temperature
under the hover to a higher degree
than the heat given OF by a lesser
number. -

Growing chickens kept on good
range may be given all their feed in
a hopper, mixing six parts by weight
of cracked corn with one part of
wheat and one part kafir corn in one
hopper and the dry mash for chickens
in another. In addition feed two
parts of the scratch mixture in the
form of sprouted oats until the chick
ems are three or four months old,
when dry whole oats can be used. The
beef scrap may be left out of the dry
mash and fed in separate hopper, SO
that the chickens can eat all of this
feed they desire. Ii the beef scrap Is
to be fed separately it is advisable to

Chickens confined to small yards
should always be supplied with green
feed, such as lettuce, sprouted oats,
alfalfa, or clover, but the best place to
raise chickens successfully is on a
good range where no extra green feed
is required. Fine charcoal, grit and
oyster shell should be kept before the
chickens sat all times, and cracked or
ground bone may be fed where the
chickens are kept in small bare yards,
but the latters feed is not necessary
for chickens that have. a good range

COAL ORDER HITS
! AUTO INDUSTRY
Supply of Fuel Reduced to Is Per Cent
of. the Quantity Consumed the
Past Year.

WASHINGTON, June l2-Curtailment
of coal supplies to manufacturers of pas
senger automobiles for the year beginning
August | to % per cent of the quantity
consumed in l9l7-lS has been announced
by the fuel administration This is one of
the steps of a drastic program for re-
duction of fuel allowed non-war industries
to meet the expected coal shortage next
winter
Just how other industries will be af-
fected has not been disclosed and it is
said there probably will be no publication
of list of so-called non-essentials In
stead an announcement may be made as
each order is given applying to a particu-
lar industry.
There is understood to be before Pres
ident Wilson now report upon which
it is proposed to base concerted action by
the fuel administration, the food admin
istration, the war industries board and the
railroad administration in the matter OF
curtailment orders The heads of these
agencies have been in conference on the
subject and early action to co-ordinat,
their efforts is looked for
| The fuel administration is prepared
however, to enforce its program without
waiting for the other agencies to act, i
necessary. Certain features already have
been definitely determined upon. as in TIN
case of automobile makers The 70 pc
cent reduction so far as coal is concerned
will apply, fuel administration official
said today, and whether a further eur

Director of Conservation Moves has re
ported to Administrators Garfield that 100
100000 tons of coal more than produce
this year will be needed to meet the d,
nsands of the coming year. This, d.
Garfield explained, is based upon an est
mate of s0,000G00 tons for actual demand
in sight with IAN additional 20,000,00 t
allow for progressive war preparation
Increased production cannot meet tn
increased demand, DIR Garfield said, an
a saving of 6oOO0,0O0 tons of coal only ca
save the country from disaster
Necessities of war must be supplied
he added "The coal deficit must newt
bly, come out of the fuel for non-war i
dustries."

FEED CHICKS OFTEN
BUT DON'T STUFF THEM.

Young chickens should be fed
from three to five times daily,
depending upon ones experience
in feeding. Undoubtedly chick !.
ems can be grown faster by feed
ing five times daily than by feed
ing three times daily, but it
should be borne in mind that
more harm can be done to the
young chickens by overfeeding
than by underfeeding, and at no
time should they be fed more
than barely to satisfy their APP
petites and to keep them exer-
cising, except at the evening
or last meal, when they should
be given all they will eat. Young
chicks that are confined need
more attention to avoid over
feeding than those that have
free range, as leg weakness is
likely to result in those confined.

nourishing food. Feeding should begin |
any time after they are thirty-six to !
forty-eight hours old, whether they are |
with the hen or in brooder, and for |
the first month or two they may be |
given food as often as five times a day. |
Baked johnnycake composed of the |
following ingredients in the proper
tons named is very good feed for
young chicks: One dozen infertile
eggs or one pound of sifted beef scrap
to ten pounds of corn meal; add
enough milk to make pasty mash.
and one tablespoonful of baking soda.
Dry bread crumbs may be mixed with
hard-boiled eggs, making about one
fourth of the mixture eggs, or rolled
oats may be used in place of the
bread crumbs.
Feed Five Times Daily.
Feed the bread crumbs, rolled oats,
or johnnycake mixtures five times
| daily for the first week, then gradually
substitute for one or two feeds of the
mixture finely cracked grains of one
part by weight of cracked wheat, six
| parts finely cracked corn, two parts
pinhead oatmeal or hulled oats, and
one part kafir corn, to which about
/ 5. per cent of cracked peas or broken
rice and per cent of charcoal, millet
or rape seed may be added. A COM
mercial chick feed may be substituted
if desired. The above ration can be
| fed until the chicks are two weeks old,
i when they should be placed on grain
and dry or wet mash mixture.
After the chicks are ten days old a
good growing mash, composed of two
!. parts by weight of bran, two parts
middlings, two parts cornmeal, one
part rolled oats, and 10 per cent sifted
beef scrap may be placed in a hopper
and left before them at all times. The
mash may be fed either wet or dry,
If wet, only enough moisture (either
/ milk or water) should be added te
make the feed crumbly, but in nc
sense sloppy. When this growing
mash or mixture is not used a hopper
containing bran should be accessible
to the chickens at all times.
When one has only a few chickens
it is less trouble to purchase the pre-
pared chick feeds, but where a con
siderable number are reared it is
sometimes cheaper to buy the finely
cracked grains and mix them together
Many chick feeds contain large guam
