Urges Nationwide Suffragism.

Will you not permit me. turning
from these matters, to speak once
more and very earnestly OF the pro-
posed amendment to the Consti-
tuition which would extend the suf
frage to women and which passed
the House OF Representatives at
the last session Of the Congress? 1t
seems to me that every consider
alton OF justice and of public advan-
tage calls for the immediate
adoption of that amendment and its
submission forthwith to the legls-
latures of the several States.

Bv the question Of labor I do not

how labor is to be obtained and

much greater and more vital ques-
non, how are the men and women
who do the daily labor OF the world
To obtain progressive Improvement
in the conditions Of their labor, to
be made happier. and 20 be served

Industries which their labor sustains
and advances? How are they to be
given their right advantage as Citi-

There is now IN fact a real com
munity Of interest between capital
and labor, but II has never been
made evident in action. IT can be
made operative and manifest only
in a new organization Of industry.
The genius Of our business men and
the sound practical sense Of our
workers can certainly work such A
partnership out when once they
realize exactly what il is that they
seek and sincerely adopt A common
purpose with regard 10 il.
Cooperation of Interest Needed.

Gold Holdings OF

Shipments to Japan ant

Excess Reserves of Clear.
ing House Banks Slender

Gold holdings of the Federal Re
serve Bank of New York decreased
nearly s127 100000 last week. This
in the opinion of bankers who DIS
cussed the figures yesterday is fairly
close measure of the extent to which
gold. since the restrictions on us
expdftation were removed by the Fed
eral Reserve Board. has been shipped
10 japan and South American countries.
Another change in the banks posi-
ton commented on was an increase
in the amount Of bills discounted OF
more than $3.50, 100000. This included
an increase of over S106,000,000 in the
amount of bills secured by government
war obligations and jump Of over
si2.O0O.O00 in the amount OF bills
bought in the open market. Its hold
irgs of certificates of Indebtedness
decreased by upwards of S5,OOO,OO0.
All but S6,433, 700 of the excess re-
serve carried over from the week be-
fore by the New York Clearing House

an increase of more than S1OO,OOO,Oo
in loans. The latter, as shown IN the
statement of actual condition of the
banks issued after the close of bust
ness yesterday, stand at S5,011, ,433,00O.
The decrease in excess recess reserves
for the week amounted 10 S57S43.43O.

Copper Products
Move Into Line
With Metal Price
Cheerful Sentiment Per.
vades Industry Despite
Labor Troubles at Rolling
Mills; New Tin Ruling As.
sures Ample Supply

Copper showed further improvement
in price last week on .comfAfafvely
small market, but with senrnent
throughout the industry more cs9erfy I.
despite continued strikes AT some Of
TIE bass and copper rolling and draw
ing mills. Meantime the other nom
ferrous metals. such as lead and zinc
showed little change in quiet markets
and, in fact, at the close of business
for the week were slightly lower than
at the end OF the previous week.
Brass and copper products" says
THE Daily Iron Trade and Metal
Market Report" made a surprising
advance Wednesday, not in the extent
of the change, but IN the quickness
with which the rise followed that Of
the previous Thursday, when all rolled
and drawn materials were put up a.
least two cents and "A few. such as low
brass sheets. two and quarter cents
The advance OF Wednesday was an
additional cent on copper products. in
cluding seamless and bronzcd tubes
the same on high brass. and cent and
quarter on low brass. cent and
quarters on rich low brass sheet
and commercial bronze wire. Brass
tubes, brazed and seamless, were put
up one cent.
"These advances together are more
than the rise IN the copper ingot
market, but the last advance in prod
ucts was in line with the weeks jump
in metal, the price of the latter, which
a week ago Wednesday had been lS.50c
delivered, having risen to 19.50c for
August shipment, the most active posi-
tion, while nearer shipment rose TO
1025c.
"Tin again attracted attention with
the third government ruling in three
weeks. This time il is said the metal
can be imported on and after Septem-
Der | without regard to point of origin.
This ruling refers especially to metal
Americans had shipped from the Orient
to Canada some months ago 10 be i'm
ported into this country as soon as
control was lifted, but when the marke.
was opened recently it was ruled metal
TO be imported after August l must
come directly from points of origin.
Such metal from the Straits will not
arrive until about September Is. The
new ruling makes a plentiful supply
more certain, but has had little effect
upon the market. Several hundred tons
probably will come under this rule.
Straits, Banca and other tin i'm
ported into England also are similarly
affected.
"prices for tin changed little the
past week. Metal for August shipment
from the Straits was quoted SOC, c. i.
f. New York, this price lately being
cabled, while a July shipment quotation
of 5 SOC was made here, and earlier in
the week il was a little lower on COM
petition for some good orders. London
is watched closely. The future market
there, speculative one, has been
strong, though not as high as a few
weeks ago"

British Not to Lift Ban on
L. S. Goods Before Fall

LONDON, Friday. July An its re-
view of commercial and economic Con-
ditions in Great Britain during June,
the American Chamber of Commerce IN
London says that with the disband-
ment Of the Imports Counsultative
Council little change may be expected
in import restrictions on American
goods before September.
Sir Auckland Geddes, Minister of Re-
construction. the report says, has in
formed parliament that the govern
ment has a draft of trade policy pre-
pared in every detail and covering all
trades, but it cannot yet be divuiged.
II is certain. the report continues,
that American exports 70 Europe must
suffer eventually unless America by
buying more foreign goods and securi-
ties enables foreign countries to pay
for imports"
In discussing the shipping and coal
situation, the Chambers report says:
"The Ministry of Shipping estimates
that because Of strikes and the coal
shortage only 100000 tons of British
shipping will be launched in 1919, in
stead Of 100000 as anticipated. Great
Britain's surplus of coal in 1919 for
export is estimated officially at 10000
900. T he pre-war surplus for export
was 100000.
There is a prospect, the report says,
that fall and spring clothing will be
much dearer because of the removal
of the control of wool. The govern
ment is taking steps TO give financial
assistance to the development Of trade
in South Russia and the Near East

Purchases Show Increase

Reviewing transactions in the wear
ing apparel and textile industries dur
ing the week ending July 5, the Credit
Clearing House found that although
purchases increased sixtenths of one
per cent indebtedness as well as pay
ments demand 7 of l per cent, and
u per cent respectively from the pre-
ceding week.
Buying increased in the Pacific
Coast, North agricultural, Middle agri-
cultural and South agricultural sec
tions over the previous week and in
the Pacific Coast, North agricultural
and Middle agricultural sections over
the corresponding week last year.
Indebtedness decreased in the Noun
tain, Middle agricultural and East sec
tions from the week before. and in the
Pacific Coast, Mountain, Middle agri-
cultural and East sections from the
corresponding week last year.
Payments were better than the week
previous in the Pacific Coast, North
agricultural and South agricultural sec
tions and in the Pacific Coast, Middle
and East sections they are
better than the corresponding week
last year.
Advance buying is heavier than dur
ing the past four years and the low
indebtedness shown makes these pur-
chases appear fully warranted.

BUENOS AYRES, Friday, July A.
Cereal dealers to-day sent a petition to
the Minister Of Public Yorks asking
for a material increase in elevator and
storage room along the piers here to
accommo odate the greatly increased ex..
portation of cereals which has followed
the signing of peace between the Allies
and Germany. The government has
promised to set aide a large area in
the new port exclusively for grain eX-
ports.
President Irigoyen has sent to Con-
gress a bill authorizing the government
TO spend 25,0O0,000 pesos for the pur-
chase of sacking, bags and twine to
be resold to small farmers, who in past
year have been the victims Of specula-
tors in these commodities. II is pro-
vided that the government shall not sell
supplies to any farmer working more
than 200 hectare (494 acres).
