BANKS ENTER FIGHT
AGAINST BOND SHARK

Square Deal.

Bankers in all parts Of this dis
trict have been asked 10 take part in
the war which has been declared
against the bond shark. The cam
paign is to protect eae small holder
OF Liberty and Victory Bonds. Many
OF these people are being preyed upon
by profiteers in government securi-
ties and by salesmen OF .o-called wild
cat stocks. Government bonds.
which are the best security in the
world, have been traded for worthless
stock certificates which never have
and never will pay one cent in divi.
dends
While every holder OF Liberty and
Victory bonds Ia urged not TO sell
the fact is recognized that some per.
sons bought beyond their buying power
and they now find that for one reason
or another-good reasons no doubt
they must sell. Bond sharks have
taken shameful advantage OF some of
these people, according to reports re-
ceived. and the banks are now lining
up to put an end to their activities

BRITISH TRADE
CIRCLES NERVOUS
Exchange Rates Mean Heavy
Premiums for Goods Pur-
chased in United States
MONEY is TIGHTEN WIN G

London, Nov. 21.-The condition of
American exchange is causing anxiety
in trade circles. as the prevailing rates
mean that tremendous premium has
to be paid by British buyers for goods
purchased in the United States.
The rate this morning was called at
S4.05. on an easier money market in
New York, but opinion in Lombard
street is that there is no backbone in
the market. while the recent uneasiness
caused by the constant declining ten
dcncy has been accentuated by the non
ratification of the peace treaty. The
rate. according to opinion here. is like
ly to be unstable until the treaty ques-
ton is settled and official action is taken
regarding the granting of credits.
The lower exchange rate is also Il
contributnry cause to the high prices
realized for arrivals of silver. while
on the other hand. America. Spain and
other countries. in view of the adverse
exchange. are taking offerings of gold
in the open market at 103 shillings
per ounce. or 81 per cent over the mint
prices.
The money market is gradually tight
ening, daily loans which are badly
wanted commanding . per cent, with
the floating supplies insufficient. l'or-
rowers are forced TO pay thu. Bank OF
England 61a per cent on weekly loans,
The joint stock banks nrc not lending
freely in the market because of the
| huge trade demands by customers for
expanding business and the financing of
the large number OF cotton bills now ar
irving.
Market opinion is that the year will
pass without a high bank rate, but that
money will be scarce.

1T WAS A QUIET LABOR DAY
Appeals by Wilson and Gompers
Seemed to Have ouieting Effect
Some Big Parades.

New YoTk-America celebrated her
usual Labor Day in a most unusual
manner. Due 10 the high cost of pa
rades there were few staged through
out the country. But, despite the high
cost OF edibles there we're thousands
of picnics- Everywhere was reflected
the SOLDERING influence of appeals by
President Wilson and Samuel Gompers
TO sit steady in the boat" and refrain
from strike demonstrations
Reassuring developments in labor
ranks featured the day. OF course the
actors are still striking, and at Boston
holiday crowds were met by closed
matinee doors when the idols" left
their jobs the other day. Then, too,
Syracuse suffered a setback when the
city's sixty garbage collectors and
truckmen quit their wagons, demand
ing a 50 per cent wage increase.
Aside from these there was little agi-
tation-and virtually no demonstra-
tons. Brooklyn labor, $4,000 strong,
staged a parade despite the rain,
and 10000 workers, with fifty bands,
enlivened Chester, Pa
Kansas City labor staged the great
est parade in its history, more than
10000 men with many bands taking
part.
