FOREIGN EXCHANGE

New York. April 21.-The foreign
exchange market in the early dealings
today continued to reflect international
holiday celebrations. Business was at
minimum and for the most part a
heavy tone was apparent.
The insistence of Italy. for free hand
relative to Fiume, according to the gos-
sip, was thought likely to unfavorably
affect lire in the immediate future.
Ruble notes dropped in the nominal
quotation % to 40 cents from last
weeks figures to 13.50@13.75.
General quotations were:
Demand sterling 4.64A, cables
4.657s.
Franc cables 500, checks 6,01.
Lire cables 7.42, checks 7.44.
Swiss cables 4. .93, checks 4.97.
Guilder cables 40A, checks 401s.
Peseta cables POPS, checks 20.18.
Stockholm cables $3.50, checks 26.60.
Christina cables $3.50, checks % 80.
Copenhagen cables 25, checks "a 80.
In mid afternoon, sterling and francs
showed no change in rates aud business
was very moderate. Italian exchange
was easier at 7.45 for cables and 7.45
for checks. Pesetas firmed up to 20.30
for cables and 2O.20 for checks. There
were no other noteworthy changes.

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

New York, April 21.-There was re-
newed activity and strength in the cof-

ing and first prices showed advances of
16 to 80 points.
The continued strength in Brazil over
our holidays and more active demand
in the local spot market, where it was
reported that Rio rs sold at lie on the

December at 1915, or about 20 to 20

creasing demand for spot coffee, com
bined with the evident firmness of Bra

ulative interest and commission house

constant reiterations by food leaders Of

spare from this crop, and strength in

Commission houses easily took care of
all offerings on recessions, and shorts
were compelled to cover as values moved
Oats also were strong on good buying
by commission houses. Trade was ac-
tive and outside interest was broad.
A leading elevator interest sold heavily

The relative cheapness of oats was
dwelt upon by the bulls.

MINING men TO
HOLD MEETING
IN MARCH NEXT

SEATTLE, Oct. thinning men
throughout the Northwest, in British
Columbia and Alaska, will be inter
ested to know that preliminary ma
chinery has been set working for the
International Mining Convention,
Seattle session, to be held in this
city from March 1913, inclusive. The
convention last year was held in Van
cOuver, B. c., was largely attended
and was an excellent means for bring
ing the various mining interests to-
gether for exchanges of ideas and ex-
Deriences.
Chenille A. Collins, a civil and
mining engineer Of Seattle, has been
chosen as permanent convention
chairman with Moncrieffe Cameron
Of this city as permanent secretary.
Committees on finance, entertain
ments, exhibits, publicity, ETC., have
been chosen tentatively and organ
jzation work is proceeding rapidly.
Of particular interest will be the
exhibits with the other composed of
mining machinery, implements, etc.
No efforts will be spared to make
these exhibits the most comprehen-
6ive of their kind ever assembled in
the Northwest, and to that end the
largest public hall in Seattle will be
used during the entire convention
sessions, seating arrangements being
such that 5000 persons may be &C
cOmmOdated.
Arrangements also are being made
to obtain the presence here of min
ing men Of international regulations
to the end that the program as finally
made up may prove a powerful draw
ing card. Temporary headquarters
have been established in rooms 1916
and 1917 L. G. Smith building, Seattle.

PASSPORTSARE
NOT OBTAINED
VERY EASILY

LONDON, Aug. 20 Correspondence
Of Associated Press) The United
States consulate has been a verita
BILE Tower of Babel this month. Cos
mopilitan London has been pouring
a varied array Of nationals into the
American gateway in England with
the single hope that they be allowed
to go to the United States. It's a
case of many knocking and few enter
ing, however.
No one is allowed to go unless he
or she has a good reason for being
in the United States. The wealthy
Britisher who wishes to escape after
war conditions here and see a country
he has heard so much about recently,
is in the same category as the italian
or French waiter who wants to seek
a job 'out there" But if anyone
has anything to sell-those cases are
in the great minority, however, as
now that is needed in the United
States-or if they wish to go to pur-
Every morning an hour or so be-
fore the consul opens line of aliens
forms. Often there are from seventy
five to a hundred in the queue, and
more keep coming. An average OF
nine out of ten will be disappointed
A British woman, evidently of
means, and just as evidently lacking
diplomacy, made no attempt to con-
ceal her irritation at standing in line
an hour and a half. Her reason,
she said, for wanting to go to the
United States was to visit some rela-
tives.
"Is your presence in the United
States necessary because of the f1nan-
cial condition of your relatives?' the
examiner asked her.
"Certainly not" rather haughtily.
"Then [ cannot grant you a wise"
The young examiner was then de-
1uged with threats, but it was of no
avail.
The next applicant was an American
officer who also wished to get wise
for a girl with him whom he said he
intended to marry when they reached
the United States. Her type raised in
the mind of the examiner the ques-
ton whether she would be gladly re.
ceived by the mother of the young
man. Her case was held up for con-
sideration. The young officer doubt
less is home, as he expected to sail
within few days, and the fiancee
has not presented herself since.

REMOVAL OF
NAVAL Mines
ISDANCEROUS

LONDON, Aug. 20 Correspondence
of Associated Press) The American
navy is having tremendous task in
sweeping the North sea of the $4,000
electrical and highly-sensitive mines
they planted there. Explosions by
electricity are the methods now en-
ployed. Some were sunk very deep
as deep as submarine could go.
Each mine was fitted with anten-
nae suspended by floats so that the
huge field was not only charged with
mines, but had also become a mass
of sensitive feelers to explode them.
Should submarine come in contact
with an antennae the mine at short
distance away at the end of the an
tennae would explode.
The problem has been to explode
the mines far enough away from the
sweeper to insure safety and also to
forestaIl the danger of the explosion
of a mine at a safe distance causing
another close to the ship going off. .
The vessels in sweeping use special
electric cables several hundred yards
long Operation of a system of cleo
trio appliances prevents the mines
from exploding if the ship strikes an
antennae, but when the electric wire
touches the antennae it blows the
mines up at safe distance from the
boat. Hundreds are being destroyed
by this method.
Aside from the danger and tedious
ness of the task, bad weather is add
ed to the hardships of the American
sailors.
About seventy-fve vessels are en-
ployed, the majority of them Ameri-
can. Subchasers help by rounding
up drifting mines that have broken
from their moorings and sinking or
exploding the mine by firing shot at
it.

Instead of being rubbed out, the dirt is rinsed

pulling or straining. And to doubly insure
purity and freshness, the water is changed
from nine to twelve times while the washing
of your clothes is in progress.

FARMERS OPPOSE
MEASURE PAIRING
MONEY IN STATE
Bill Provides For 100000 as
Against Larger Sum APP
portioned by the U. S.

Dauphin county farmers are
much concerned about the recent
bill, which has passed the House
and is pending in the Senate, linn
iting the funds for agricultural ex-
tension work in Pennsylvania, ac-
cording to A. B. Shenk, president
of the Dauphin County Farm Bu-
reau.
The Farm Bureau work in the
several counties of Pennsylvania is
financed by the Federal Govern
ment, the State government and the
county cooperating. The Smith
Lever act, which provides for this
work, was passed in 1914 and re-
quires that money available for
agricultural extension work must
be matched by the State./
This bill provides for only $780,
900. Pennsylvania share from
the Federal Government was $780,
900, according to the Smith-Lever
act. The extension work in Penn
sylvania developed more rapidly
under war conditions than would
otherwise have been the case.
Fifty-six farm bureaus have been
established and are employing as
many county agents.
Dauphin county is directly affect
ed by the reduction in the amount
of agricultural extension appropria-
ton, and it is earnestly hoped by
the members of the Farm Bureau
that the committee in whose hands
this bill now is will exert every
effort to have it amended, so that
Pennsylvania may get the full share
to which she is entitled by the Fed
eral Government.
According to the officials of the
extension department, it will be alb
solutely necessary that the amount
for agricultural extension be raised
to $4,000 if the work is to be
maintained in it's present status.
THE farmers of this county earn
estly hope" says Mr.. Shenk, that
the entire fund may be available in
order that this Farm Bureau work,
which has been such a great factor
in developing the agriculture of this
county, be maintained"
