transactions In specific security bt
made.
The method, In the third place, IS one
OF competitive auction, rather than in.
dlvldual transactions.
The different securities are called ur
for trading In their specified order on
the exchange list. There are few cash
transactions. There are three kinds OF
time transections-dellvery at the end
OF the present month. at the end OF the
succeeding month and at the end OF the
second month following.
For example, II Q. broker wishes 10
deal In Nippon Yusen kaisha tsteam-
ship company shares he can do so
only at the trading post of the section
In which that security Is listed and
only at two times a day, namely when
that security has its turn in the calls
Of the morning and afternoon section.
Also, his deal is closed at a price which
is fixed by competition.
With others he buys or sells Nippon
Yusen Kaisha stock at varying prices
for the three different delivery dates.
and In each instance the price at which
his deal is closed is not the price he
may have bid or offered. but the price
prevailing when the director Of that
section closes dealing for that delivery
date by ordering the blocks Of wood
clapped together. Meanwhile all the
transactions he closed have been noteL
by clerks on the platform When the
first, or Yoritsuki, round Of calls on
Nippon Yusen Kaisha has been made
for each Of the three delivery dates the
three deliveries are called all over again
on the second, or Ohbike, round. This
gives two sets Of prices, enabling the
buyer to sell II he thinks he has paid
too much. or the seller TO buy II he
thinks he has sold too cheaply, as a
result Of the arbitrarily fixed price I'm
the first round And then trading in
Nippon Yusen kaisha is ended for that
session.
The rapidly with which Japan has
taken to stock exchange methods-the
finest flower Of western high finance
is shown by the fact that the capital
Of the Tokyo stock exchange has In.
creased sixty fold In the 40 years since
It's establishment.
The total trading on the exchange
amounted to 6,ts6.522 yen in 1898 and to
10, ,775,O33 yen in 1908. For the % days
of business in March, 1918. the total
value OF shares actually delivered was
% ,s2l ,s20 yen-more than the total
years business ten years before; six
times tbs total years business in 1898,
or an increase Of seventy-two fold In
two decades. The yen is half dollar.
More than 300 stocks are listed. Of
which less than 100 are active. The

penetrating. These claps come from
the balcony where men seated at tables
covered with big sheets OF mysterious
paper with mysterious signs and where
boys standing above the tables paint
odd symbols with flying brushes
upon black, white and red tablets Of
wood and hang them up on wires for
the gesticulatlng crowd below to see.
There is the Wall. street OF Japan,
and that is how the Toyko stock ex-
change looks and sounds ON a dull
day.
When trading is brisk this exchange
can present scenes OF frenzy rivaling
those which made the nerve center Of
American business world-famos as the
place which put the word pandemoni-
um in the dictionary.
II is a long step from the japanese
prints Of the last story in this series
TO the Wall street OF Toyko. The print
stands for Old Japan. The stock ex-
change stands for Japan Of today at It's
zenith.
II is good thing TO put them side
by side and compare them, for the con-
trast tells in two snapshots the
whole story Of half a centurys change
In this kaleidoscope country.
! Except for superficial differences the
observer standing in the Toyko stock
| exchange might fancy himself In Wall
street or in the Chicago stock ex-
change
The Toyko stock exchange is organized
and conducted upon lines somewhat
similar to the organization Of the Wall
street exchange, and acts ss a barome-
ter OF national trade with the same
feverish fluctuations. But It Is now
more closely regulated by state law
after the French model, and a member
OF the national cabinet has the power
to supervise all It's actions 10 is a

tee every transaction made by It's men,

Osaka had a rice exchange moro than
800 years ago. From that beginning has
grown the 30 exchanges Of Japan in

broker has his floor representatives, |
and there are usually between 200 and |
300 men on the floor their dealings |
watched by a thousand or more inter-
ested spectators from a gallery sepa
rated from the pit by railings.
Trading differs from New York trad
ing In three main respects. In the first
place the exchange Is divided into three
sections. In section A shipping, spin
ming, sugar and exchange shares are
dealt in. Section d is the trading post
for iron manufacturing, coal, wooden
industry, chemical. oil and pottery
shares. The list Of section comprises
all other securities, as railway bank
ing, insurance, etc. Thus there are only
three trading posts, and it Is impossl-
BILE TO deal in shares Of all kinds at
all places.
Secondly, It Is impossible to deal in
a given security at any and all hours
OF the day. The exchange has two

ure the Japanese boy enters at the age
of ten or over. lie begins work as

ing TO work up to place as floor man
for a broker and earn In his early
twentles less than the American brok-
er earns. II is true, but still his thou-
sands OF yen a year.
The narrow lanes OF streets leading
like the threads OF a spiders web to
the exchange building are lined with
brokers offices. In front OF the offices
hang the brokers' signs on long waving
cloth curtains. Nothing like 1t Is seen
in America. 1t all seems very strange.
Just the same, the Toyk0 stock ex-
change Is another exhibit In the evil
dence that In essentials Japan Is the
same as America or any other west
ern land.
Its supervision Is different. Its
methods Of trading are different. The
clapping Of the "gavel" is different. The
odd tablets OF wood recording quota
tlons, and the marks on them which

ferent-indeclphe TO the western
eye. The costumes OF the brokers are
different, and even the sound Of their
voices is exotic.
But these divergences are all on the
surface. Underneath 1t all the same
human brains are bartering With the
same motives and the same qulckness.
Men are pumping the blood of ma
tlon's business through the nations
incidentally making and
losing fortunes by gambling In fu-
lures.
A man who, I believe, knows more
about the Japanese character than any
other foreigner now in Japan, holds the
view that the japanese are inferior to
Americans in endurance and superior
in quickness and cleverness.

Overwork, worry overeating and

sible for much kidney trouble. If your
back aches and the kidneys seem
weak, rest up and use Doan's Kidney
Pills.
A. c. Alexander, grocer, 712 Spring
street, Americas, Ca, says: my back
caused me much suffering and | was
hardly able to do my work on account
of the pains. My kidneys acted irreg-
ularly and too frequently, making me
get up a number of times at night
Doan's Kidney Pills SOM relieved me
of the pain in my back and my kid
neys again acted regularly, The
pains left and have never felt them
since"

proven permanent. Now my back and

WITH TEN THOUSAND
ROSES MACON WOMEN
WELCOME SOLDIERS.
TT isn't raining rain to me

"a It's raining roses down."
If any CT the soldiers felt like sing
ing after their long hike, this was
unquestionably the song fer them
when they found to welcome them
10000 roses which had been sent to
the camp by the people of Macon
Saturday night.
This greeting was made possible
through the efforts of Mrs. Lottie G.
Mitchell, grandmother" of the re-
mount station, and "Y" AT, who had
made an appeal to the public for the
roses for the soldiers.
At 3 o'clock on the afternoon the
soldiers were to arrive the city Y M.
G. A. looked like a world of roses,
more than 10000 in number having
been sent there by Macon men and
women. Army "Y" men carried them
to the camp in cars, and Mrs. Mitchell
arranged them at the remount station
and in each Y. nj. G. A. house.
The roses alone showed that the
soldiers had not been forgotten while
they were away 'practicing up" for
the Germans, but in addition to the
flowers there were large placards
attached to each bunch of them,
which seconded the greeting of the
roses by lettering which read:
"You are welcomed by the Macon
people"
The keenest appreciation was ex-
pressed to the Macon public through
Mrs. Mitchell, both by the soldiers
and the Y. NJ. G. A. men.
