To Check Silver Exports

According TO Washington advices,
the Federal Reserve Board has re-
verscd its policy with regard to sup
plying silver for export. Because of
the liberality shown by the board here
toforc heavy inroads have been made
upon the country's silver reserve, and
for this reason it has been decided to
regulate more closely the movement of
silver by preventing the unnecessary
shipment of the metal out of the coun-
try. A statement issued by the Federal
Reserve Board said "ln order to con-
serve the use of silver. export licenses
for silver will hereafter be granted
only for civil or military purposes of
Importance in connection with the
prosecution of the war, and only in
cases where the exporter certities that
the silver to be exported has been pur-
chased at a price which does not di-
rectN or indirectly exceed $101 "a an
ounce, 1000 fine. This quotation applies
at the point where silver is refined in
the United States or at the point of
importation, in the case Of imported
silver"

Coffee Futures.-Yesterday's market
opened irregular points lower to
points higher, with Wall Street again
selling the distant months Much Of
the business during the day was in
switching operations in December to
later months. The early cables were
rather disappointing, Santos futures
showing declines of rs to 125 reis, but
a later cable reported sharp advance
of $50 to 175 res in futures. and this
caused a little covering on the local
exchange, final prices being net uR-
changed to an advance Of points.
In the cost and freight market thers
were no fresh offers, and holders IN
Brazil maintained their high prices in
the belief that the next two crops
would be small, owing to the severe
damage done by frost during the early
summer, and they feel that this wiM
Offset the enormous amount of coffee
establish sound basis for the ad-
vance. Importers here, however, are
not buyers at present prices.

Cottonseed Oil.-The market was
neglected and nominal In the spot
position steady undertone prevailed
with prices holding around q to 2ll IA
cents. Business, however. was not ac-
tive and offers of competing oils wers
quite liberal at comparatively lower fg-
ares. The high price of cottonseed oil
has resulted in large importations Of
both soya bean oil and cocoanut oil,
and there is also an active trade in
both domestic and foreign peanut oils.

Money and Credit

The heavy decrease in the surplus
reserves of the local banks as indicated
in the Saturday statement reflected in
the money market yesterday. where
rates were firmly maintained. At the
Stock Exchange call money ruled at
6 to 61a per cent, unchanged from Fri
day. Offerings were limited, and the
needs of the market were met with the
assistance of the money committee.
There was no change in the situation
in the market for fixed date funds, Of
ferings being exceedingly light. Bor-
rcwers are bidding to 61a per cent,
but the business done consists mostly
of renewal of maturing loans.
Ruling rates for money yesterday,
compared with year ago, were as
follows:

An Old Yarn

"The Manchester GUARDIAN has ap-
parently been getting it's news on the

MED here, that the company is to form
the nucleus of SlOO,OOO,OO0 shipping
combination along with the Pacific
Mail, the Atlantic, Gulf e. Wes! Indies
and the United Fruit companies.
Nevertheless, the fact that the con-
scrvative British organ saw fit to give
some credencc to the yarn was given
as the cause behind increased activity
in the Marine shares. The preferred

Stock Market History

Yesterdays quiet market perform

happened on the Stock Exchange
toward the close of 1916, when the
famous peace panic caused deluge Of
selling orders and a precipitate fall in
prices. That occurred on December II.
Bethmann- Hollweg, then the German
Chancellor, surprised the world with
his proposal of peace. 1t caught the
security markets unprepared Stocks

RED CROSS

What does the Red Cross mean TO
you-and you? Think of it. Does II
simply imply to you a request to give
up an afternoon you had intended
spending with friend, or doing a
necessary bit of homework at home,
go and sit in a stuffy room and fold
slazy white gauze, Does it simply
mean to you that every time you go
down town some woman holds out to
you little yarn pledge card? And
are you guilty of thinking, Dear me,
it's money. money all the time? Do
you need the awful lesson of the cas-
ualty list which is sinking in upon us,
to make clear to you the tremendous
value of the Red Cross? Such big
needs careful and judicious
financing and the money must come
from our pockets, and this is a splen-
did opportunity to show your patriot
ism. Do not wait TO be begged or
urged, ask for pledge card. Moth
ers and fathers are sacrificing all
over the land why not all of us give
till il hurts?

YPSI WON
Fast Normal Team Took Alma Into
Camp Easily.

When the college began practice
Monday of last week they faced a
weekend of two hard games, Ypsi
Normal and Adrian college, both of
which teams had defeated Alma on
their own floors earlier in the sea-
son.
To win from Adrian would give
Alma tie for Championship; to win
from Ypsi only meant the winning Of
a game, or at least that was the feel
ing Of the Alma fans. Coach Helmer
continually tries to make the men
value Ypsi more seriously. He stat
ed he would just as soon win the
Ypsi game as the Adrain
The game Friday night lacked en-
thusiasm by the crowd and certain
iy by the old members Of the team.
Consequently, that which should hap
pen, did happen: we lost. A game
which the thought of winning arouses
no enthusiasm should ont be won.
Alma lacked the aggressive spirit
which was shown at Olivet and Kazoo
The team appeared to be holding in
for the Adrian game.
Ypsilanti played a fine game.
Powers forward and the colored boy,
Morris at guard, were the big factors.
Capt. Smith and Ping Richards
the only old men on Helmer's squad
were primed for the game CD. Both
played the first half in the wrong
position and never knew it until told
at the intermision.
The team was certainly off form,
both in guarding and offensive tao
tics. We can excuse them in a way
because of their great work the week
before.
