CREDIT TO Be
FURNISHED TO
Foreign BUYERS
Producers Seeking to Expand the Mar.
ket for Copper

Boston.-Just as they were among
the first to take advantage of the
Webb-Pomerene law, permitting trade
com binations in export business, cop
per producers will be early in the field
with concern for extending foreign
credits under the provisions Of the
Edge law. The financlL-, company will
be affiliated with the Copper Export
association which has practically all
the leading producers in it's member
ship.
1t is understood that French re-
quirements, estimated for the current
year at 200,000,00O pounds, will be the
first to be financed Ey the operation
OF the new company. Other European
demands will then be cared for as
credits can be arranged.
Some time ago efforts were made
to have producers extend credits COW
ering a large quantity of copper to be
shipped to Germany, but these at
tempts were unsuccessful. Under the
new plan it is very likely that Ger
many will also be considered although
the matter of guarantees will be care
fully investigated before commitments
are made.
Much perturbed over the develop
ments of the past year, the copper
producing industry as a whole has
been giving serious thought to it's fu-
ture, and as a result has determined
to branch out in two directions stimuli
taneously.
The first step has Eeen a careful
survey of the world situation with re-
gard to copper. New avenue of con-
sumption will be sought, if possible,
while attempts will also be made to
encourage the rehabilitation of cop
per into uses formerly in vogue but
interrupted during the war
The next step was the financing of
export sales through a system of cred
its.
Today the country'ha large sur
plus of unsold copper, although it is
understood to be less menacing than
a year ago. Producers, however,
through their enforced curtailment of
output, have been adding to their pro-
duction costs and realize that only
through greater production can the in
dustry as a whole be brought back to
anything near profitable L2sis.

Railroad managers vary widely as
to the policy in regard to restoration
of competitive efforts to secure traf-
fic. Some favor active solicitation by
outside agencies, others favor ex-
treme caution at first. The general
disposition, apparently, is to resume
the pre-war basis as rapidly and as
fully as is feasible without unneces-
sary duplication of efforts. Few man
ayers expect their roads in any extent
to exist within the guarantee of fed
eral return for the ensuing six
months.

Silver Famine Brings Wealth to tn,
Southwest

Silver Famine Brings Wealth to the
Southwest
Thirty billions of Embarked paper
money issues and an Oriental trade
growing Ly leaps and bounds, are the
| features in the present situation that
promise untold wealth in the years to
come for the American and Mexican
owners of silver mines. Silver must
be found to back almost unlimited
quantities of Europe's paper money.
Silver must be found wherewith to
pay China and India for a trade bal
ance swollen greatly in volume and
made up of greatly increased units of
value.
There is not nearly enough silver
in existence today to meet the world S
needs. Even should the price of silver
advance until it sold at $40 an ounce,
all the metal in the vaults of the
worlds banks and treasures and in
the hands Of the silversmiths would
be insufficient to validate the un-
backed paper issues, money" today
practically valueless in the field of in
ternational trade and depreciating
rapidly in the countries of issue
Meanwhile, the Orient, selling more
than in former years at larger per
unit prices, demands an almost un-
limited stream Of silver
China and India have always been
the great markets for western silver.
Formerly silver for the Orient was
purchased through London. Since the
war much of the supply has been pur-
chased for China and India in New
York. These markets are today not
to be satisfied, prepared in their grow
ing trade to absorb all the new silver
that can possibly be produced. And
Indian and Chinese exporters are con-
'tinuing to pile up balances owing
them with the merchants of the Occi-
dent.
Furthermore, Europe's unbacked
billions of paper money issues must
be validated if exchanges are to be
restored to anything like normal, if
confidence is to be restored and an
enterprise is to begin the task of
meeting the wars debts and losses
Not enough silver can be produced in
years to validate these unsubstantial
paper notes. There is not enough sill
yer available to meet the urgent pres
ent demand of the nations for coinage
into small Change"
AS the price of silver advances, as
the Orient in full flush of it's new
trades continues to bid the price of
the metal up, it has become profitable
to most countries to cast the minted
silver into the melting pot and sell
the coins as bullion. One financial
authority puts it that "it is no longer
possible for any of the worlds nations
to buy silver for coinage except the
United States, unless they debase
their standard coins, instituting a new
system in which their coins will con-
tain so little of the white metal that
it will not be profitable to melt them"

.Lasthight' sDreams
What They Mean
DID YOU DREAM ABOUT eoArsl



EREUD states that modern dream
= books are but plagiarisms of an
eient Eastern writings of the same
character and are necessarily bad ones
because in nearly all cases the East
ern interpretations of dreams hung
upon play upon words which is. of
course, lost in turning them into anOth-
er language. This statement may be
open to doubt and 1t is ratheEprobable
that the modern empirie Interpretation
OF dreams has gradually grown up
through mingling of Teutonic, Celtic,
Gallo and ancient Roman and Greek
superstitions, which would account for
the divergence of H. interpretations
with regard to their symbolism.
The most famous dream prophecy
depending upon a play upon words is
that given by the soothsayer, Arts
tandros, to Alexander when that mon
arch was besieging Tyre. Alexander
was much disturbed by the stubborn
resistance of the city and the conse-
quent delay in his plans of conquest.
One night he dreamed that he saw one
of those goatlike neurological crea-
lures, a satyr-Greek Satyros-danc-
ing on his shield He demanded of
Aristandros the meaning of the dream.
At once the soothsayer replied by d.
viding the word Into Sa Tyros (Tyre)
Thine is Tyre. Alexander took the
city.
Although Freud cites this as an ex-
ample of his statement 1t will be no.
ticed that the play upon words was
Greek and not Oriental. Satyrs were

Of the male sex and had the horns,
tail and legs of goats. They were mis-
chievous creatures and sent the night
mare. To meet them or dream of
them was accounted by the ancients as
unlucky, in spite of the dream Of
Alexander. This would seem to ac-
count for the dictum of the modern
mystics that to dream Of a billygoat
is unlucky, though to dream Of killing
one or seeing one killed is a favorable
omen; the latter probably originating
from the killing of a goat as sin Of
fering mentioned in Leviticus. And
the Interpretation Of a dream of see
ing only the goats horns-that it fore
tells bad luek-is easily traced to the
prophets dream of the fight between
the goat and the ram in the eighth
chapter Of Daniel A few of the en-
prizes say that to dream of nanny
goats. especially If white, is good luck.
