Is u MILLION
Rate Of Interest Raised to Al per cent
For Victory Loan

Minneapolis. Mimi, Apr. 14.-South
Dakota has been allotted twenty-five
million five hundred thousand dollars
of the Victory Liberty Loan. The
ninth districts quota is one hundred
~fifty-seven million five hundred thou
sand .dollars out of a total for the
national of four billion five hundred
million dollars. The rate Of interest
is four and three-quarters percent
The unpaid small amount of the loan
and the high rate of interest nave
brought great joy to the Liberty loan
workers of the ninth federal reserve
district, who will begin their cam
paign on Monday, April 81.
Washington, ID. c., Apr. 14.-Quotas
of most Of the communities of the
Victory loan will be three quarters
OF the quotas in the fourth loan, the
$4,000, 000, 900 total of the Victory"issue
is three-fourths of the $4,000, 000, 900
treasury explained today, since the
Of the fourth issue. The goal as
signed each community and state is
left, however, to the federal reserve
district loan organization.
In practically all cases. it is said,
no change has been made by the dis
trict organization in the proportion
ate task assigned each community in
comparison with the fourth loan.
Quotas of the Il FEDERAL reserve
districts are the same percentage as
the last issue.
Announcement last night by Secre-
tary Glass of the amount of the forth
coming loan surprised financial cir
cles as it generally had been expected
the amount would be considerably
larger Secretary Glass stated that
the loan would take the form of four
and three-quarters per cent convert
ible notes maturing in four years
with the treasury reserving the privi-
lege of redeeming them in three years
The notes which will be exempt from
state and local taxes except estate
and inheritance and from normal fed,
eral taxes will be convertible into
three and three-quarters per cen
notes exempt from all federal, state
ard LEGAL taxation except estate ant
Inheritance taxes. Over subscription.
will be rejected and alIotments IN 8
graduated sale similar to that ISSUED
in the first loan. The interest rat,
of Az per cent is the highest borT
| by any of the war loans but is lowel
by one-quarter per cen than the rate
said to have been urged by financia
interests. The selling campaign opens
| April 81 and will continue to May 10

What's The Matter
With The Government!

The American republic has just as
founded the world by its accomplish
ment in war. The democracy they
aid was inefficient has proved the
spirit of action, the soul of bravery,
the heart of achievement.
In a conflict in which all the other
nations transcribed the impossible
time after time, the United States
caused the hardened veterans of the
Allies to stand agape at the perform
ance of supposedly green troops and
played an important part in crushing
the most formidable military machine
civilization had ever seen.
Evidence multiplies that America
had just begun to bring her terrifying
reserve power to bear and that per
formances verging on the miraculous
were expected at once.
In short, the Uuited States of Am.
erica had just demonstrated that it is
the most nearly perfect political or
ganization ever created
And now comes the suggestion that
all this be thrown away, that the
good of all the American system OF
government be discarded because OF
defects found here and there in it.
There are Americans who listen to
that suggestion and give credence to
the line of reasoning that holsters il
up. They are, for the most part, those
persons who were sIowest to realize
Americas duty toward the world in
the war.
Let the challenge be hurled against
the traducers of the American govern
ment that they shall produce one full
and complete example of a state thai
is more desirable than this republic
before being allowed to preach reform
by violence.

Soldiers Lose Fight

Winnipeg, April 14.-Oficers of the
Great War Veterans association have
received word from their delegate sent
to Ottawa, that the Canadian govern
eminent has decided to allow the Hut
t~erities from Huron, S. d., to come in
to Manitoba despite the protest of SOL
diers. The butterflies are exempt
from military service and soldiers
here are determined they shall not
enter this province. Fears of COM

Silks
japanese Importers Do
Large Business in
PONCE Silks

Though comparatively few buyers
appeared yesterday In the sslesroons
eff the silk 5obbers, business was more
active than 10 ordinarily is on satur-
days, Manufacturers who devote their
attention exclusively to novelties
seemed to be doing an excellent volume
of business and find 1t necessary to
guard against overselling the outputs
OF their mills. Most Of these concerns
deal directly with retailers Of high
class merchandise, usually steady Gus
toners, in whose behalf extra efforts
are put forth to see that they are kept
reasonably we'll supplied with goods.
Japanese lRborers Of pongee silks re-
ceived sfzahle orders from cutters OF
womens waists as we'll as from manu-
facturers OF meas shirts, snd there
was fair amount of business from
jobbers, The orders called for deliv-
cries from now until the end OF Septem-
Der, Supplies Of pongees were said to
be coming from Japan I nliberal voi-
ume, shipping facilities for the Pacific
eaborne trade being relatively good.
A number of the Japanese importers
state dthat they did not expect the al
legged boycott in northern China against
trading with Nipponese interests TO re
strict shipments from China of tussah
silk, the raw material from which
pongees are woven. 1t was stated that
the agitation, which apparently is
strongest in and about Shanghai, might
affect buying from Japan, but it was
intimated that the Chinese merchants
were not likely to forego making ex-

Raw Milk Trade Light
Anti-Japanese Agitation Affects
Business at shanghai

Business in Japanese raw silks yes
terday was light. In the absence Of
advices from japan prices were IN
changed. Importers with connections
in Shanghai reported that the anti
Japanese agitation had caused an al
mots complete cessation of business at
that centre, and it was intimated that
shipments OF silk therefrom probably
would be restricted. But the latest
news from Canton indicated that buy
ing for European and American account
was exceptionally good, as a result OF
which holders were evincing a desire to
increase their prices for the raw stock,
and the political disturbances were not
mentioned as harrassing trade.

Strong Tone in
Copper Develops
On Fair Trade
Domestic Consumers Show
Inclination to Replenish
Stocks at Current Prices;
Spelter Market Is Firm

Active buying has raised the p-ice
about h cents in two wteks. so that
the market now ranges from l7a4 cents
to Is cents pound. Although the VOL
umie Of business has not been so large
as late in March and again early in
May, the past two weeks have seen the
strongest situation developed in the
copper market within year
Brass and copper products, according
to the Daily Iron TRADE and Metal
Market Report" have been influenced
by the strength showa IN copper metal.
though buying Of rolling mill goods
does not seem 10 have taken on the
extraordinary movement that the climb
of prices in itself would indicate. The
flow of orders, however. is fair and
steadily increasing While automobile
builders still are the big factor in the
brass market, good general manufact-
urlng trade is reported to be coming
along. The advance OF cent IN brass
sheets last week puts that commodity
at 20.75 cents pound, compared with
1875 cents that ruled q good part Of
the spring. The latter was the low
point reached since the end Of fighting
and was down almost to the pre-%ar
figure Of Is cents, about the average in
1912 and 1918. Two years ago this mar
ket was up TO $3.50 cents and during
the latter part Of the war, much of the
time while copper was at % cents, the
price was $3.50 cents.
Copper Sheeting Advanced
Similar wide swings could be named
in seamless brass and copper tubing
and copper sheet. The latter has re-
covered to $3.50 cents q pound, y
cents IN ten days, after dropping during
the winter from SO cents to $3.50 cents.
Tubing and brass sheet are big items
in all kinds of gasolene engines, while
copper and brass are big items of cleo
trical work. In plumbing for all kinds
of building, brass is big item. and in
fact in the general Industrial field is
the next most important metal after
steel
Copper has not been the only strong
metal. In fact all nonfarrous metals
have gone materially higher in the
last few days. Spelter is up nearly
from the recent low The price for
prime Western at st. Louis Thursday
for nearby delivery was $50 cents
with futures still higher 4 good
amount of galvanizing trade has run
lately, and the general spirit Of the
steel market lends strength sentiment
tally. Little definite has been said
about brass mill buying.
Tin has shown little change lately.
Straits metal TO be shipped from the
Far East when the ban Is lifted. has
remained around 81 cents, c. j. f, New
York, the price lately having been
slightly higher than a week ago.
After several days of strength in the
lead market, the American Smelling
and Refining Company put its price up
Is points, to $40 cents New York The
outside market IS on about the same
level. A good amount of buying has
been done lately.
Aluminium has been practically IN
changed for a number Of weeks. Bust
ness is fair, with the automobile in
terest doing most of the buying.
