who questioned him, while In Europe

Mr.. Bell was greatly impressed with
Frances efforts to restore indus
trial and financial conditions OF her
past days OF glory. He told how the
school children In Paris are being
encouraged to vie with each other In
earnings through their Industry. In
the public schools each day there 10

ings OF boys and girls who sell
papers and do everything to honestly
earn money. The effect of this 10 to

Mr.. Bell, replying to questions. said
he saw no drunkenness while in
France. while in Glasgow, Scotland,
the drinking was somewhat heavier.
He noticed an abundance OF anti
prohibition literature being distrib-
uted in Great Britain and on the con-
tinent. alleging an enormous increase
OF crime in America as a result OF
prohibition. indicating that the ''wets'
over there are starting an expensive
propaganda.
Mr.. Bell saaid that in housing and
rents the situation is acute in Eng
land and on the continent.
The Washington banker also
noticed q flood OF paper money in
France, each town having its own
supply.
The talk was much enjoyed by
those present.

A banker said yesterday that slight
ly less than $3.50 700. 900 OF the Anglo

ties until maturity. October 10, next
This is particularly true OF institu-
tions which hold large blocks of the
Issue.
The British government is believed
to have been the heaviest purchaser
of the AngIo-French bonds in the
open market, and 1t Is estimated that
John Bull has taken a total OF about
5000, ,000, 900 of the bonds out of the
market and cancelled them
A circular Issued on the new French
loan says that France Is now taxing
her citizens at a rate which practi-
cally doubles receipts from taxation
last year and provides revenue four
times greater than that OF the last
pre-war year.
The circular states that collections
of income taxes have increased from
an average of 20 100000 francs
monthly In 1919 to 62,00o,O0O francs
monthly during the first four months
of 1920. During the first half Of the
year, collection OF war profits taxes

our GOLD RESERVE
RATIO LEADS ALL

Gold reserve OF the United
States available against notes in
actual circulation on July l was
more than three times that OF
any OF the nations OF Western
Europe. This country had 81.
234, 100000 in gold, as against
$4,000. 900 In notes, giving II
a reserve OF 49.5 per cent of the
paper circulation. a ratio which
also far exceeded that OF any
European country.
The nation most nearly ap.
preaching our percentage OF re-
serve was Great Britain, whose
gold holdings amounted TO 3l.5
per cent of her note circulation,
while France on the same date
had only 90 per cent.
Germany and Austria had re-
serves OF only 1.6 per cent and
0.4 per cent respectively. Italy
last September possessed a gold
reserve OF ony 7.S per cent of
her paper currency.
The $4.512 ,0OO,0 900 OF paper
money here compares with &c.
104, 600, 900 in Germany and S12.-
$50, ,UO0. 900 in Austria Hungary.
Great Britain's note circulation
on June 80 was only 2,26s, ,000.-

PROSPERITY NOW
SEEMS JUST AHEAD
Time for U. S. Manufacturers
To Lay Plans for Export
Trade, Saws Leader,

w. l.. Saunders, OF the Ingersoll-
Rand Company. of New York. and
president Of the American Manufac-
turers' Export Association, points out
that while, few months ago. there
was cause for alarm in industrial con-
ditions, various restrictions that were
imposed by the Government. the Fed
eral Reserve banks, and part Of the
public have prevented drastic results
and brought about a situation that
now forebodes encouragement for the
future Industrial prosperity OF Amer
lea and it's foreign trade.
Mr.. Saunders believes that the re-
adjustment which Is now going on,
moderately but definitely, should
surely encourage American manufac-
turers to lay plans for healthy
gorwth Of business in foreign mar
kets.
Mr.. Sanders said:
"a few months ago there was cause
for alarm in industrial conditions,
prices and bank loans were soaring,
and it seemed to conservative busi-
ness men that the shock of the war
was not over-that we were riding
for a fall. Being forewarned. the
Government. the Federal reserve
banks, and the public determined to
exert such reasonable pressure as
might forestall drastic results. Re-
strictions OF expenditures by the Gov
ernment the issue of short term GER
tifcates at market rates, the rise In
the discount rate at thee Federal re.
serve banks, and the determination
on the part Of the public that prices
must come down or they would not
buy, have resulted in a decided re-
adjustment which is now going on.
n
district of New York have declined
213 millions from the peak.
"The latest available indices OF
prices all show declines varying
from a half per cent Swedish to 25
per cent Japanese. On basic commo-
dities IL Is safe to say that the de-
cline from the peak OF high prices in
America has averaged some to o
per cent. Beginning with leather,
silk and textiles, the declines have
now extended to cotton, wheat corn
and hogs. The Analyst food index
now shows 1 per cent Bradstreet's
food index shows a decline of is per
cent below the same time last year.
"The Bureau of Labor index shows
q decline of 90 per cent in July over
June, the largest declines being in
clothing and food.
for the future Industrial prosperity
OF America and OF it's foreign trade.
We have maintained an increasing fr
eien trade against extraordinary ad-
verse conditions. The readjustment
khich is now going on, moderately
but definitely, should surely encour-
age American manufacturers to lay
plans for a healthy growth OF bust
ness in foreign markets"

c. c. TIGHTENING REGULATIONS.

BY furtner t1ghtenlnR regulations
Government freight shipments the In
terstate Commerce Commission yes
terday dealt what Ia believed will be
a sharp blow at the high cost of liv-
ing. Under the new rules reconsign-
ments Will prove more costly, thus
making II less profitable for shippe p
to shunt their cargoes about the coun-
try, seeking the highest market. Also
they will facilitate the movement OF
freight and consequently make avail
able larger numbers OF freight cars.
The new regulations provide for
reconsignment OF less than carload
lots only upon payment OF revenue for
a minimum Of $4,000 pounds on per
ishable commodities. in refrigerator
cars. and $4,000 pounds for other
freight In ordinary equipment.
Shipments reconsigned where back
hauls or out-of-line hauls are con-
cerned will BE- subject to the regular
rates both to and from the points OF
reconsignment, plus n reconsIgnment
service charge OF S5 a car.
Fruit and vegetable shipments in
Western and Southern classifcati tion
territory will be allowed only one re-
consignment at the through rate and
two additional reconsignments at the
through rate plus reconsignment
charges.
