From the Consular Reports.

According to the American consul general at Shanghai the visible supply of silk for the season to date is .670, 900 pounds The demand from Trance and the United States for silk in the early part of June was phenomenal, This demand was due to the fact that buy- CTS had held off immediately after the arrnistice was signed in the hope of getting lower, prices, but silk exports were handicapped by the high price of silver. The principal business was done with America.

GRENADE SAVINGS
BANKS RECALLED

Savings banks Of Washington were
notified today by the Treasury De-
partment that the hand grenade
banks, which they had agreed to pur-
chase for distribution among school
children as an incentive to thrift
would not be delivered, because Of an
order from the War Department.
It is estimated that approximately
20, 900 Of these banks were ordered by
local savings institutions some three
months ago, and there has been q
heavy demand by children for the
banks.
The Treasury Department evidently
was preparing as wide a campaign
in the distribution OF these banks as
accompanied the exhortation to buy
War Savings Stamps. Large streamer
posters, which were to be placed in
banks throughout the country. and in
conspicuous places in every city, were
ready to be distributed.
The order halting delivery was not
accompanied by an explanation from
either the Treasury Department or
the War Department. and local
banker today were at a loss to eI.
plain the new ruling.
It is understood that subsequent to
the announcement that the hand gem
ade banks would be distributed as a
means Of encouraging thrift through
out the country, authorities Of the
War Department decided their dis
tribution would not be in the inter-
est OF sound public policy. Beyond
this, no reason for this action Of the
War Department has been given. The
few banks that leaked" out through
various sources have been recalled
by the War Department.
