Sharp Rise i'm Price
OF Rice i'm China

During the month of June the price
Of rice, first quality in China, ad
vanced from $40 Mexican ($7.2S gold)
picui Of 1873 1-3 pounds to $1620
Mexican (S11.78 gold). Rice is the
special food of the Chinese, and such
Il marked increase in its cost has
worked serious hardship on Chinese
of every class, and particularly those
who have little variety in food. 1t is
true that rice is sold in the market
in various grades; the cheapest may
now be bought at So Mexican ($5.82
gold) a picul, against normally some
thing like onc-fourth this figure. 1t
is rather remarkable that there is u
hal and in lIangchow, only a few
hours distant, Of SO Mexican (s2.18
gold) picul. The normal average
price of rice of the first quality is
stated to be $3.50 Mexican ($5,46 gold)
q picul; therefore the present price
is increasing considerably the living
expenses of those whose chief article
Of food is rice.
The shortage is attributed to ex
portation of rice under permits and
also possibly to considerable extent
to storage or profiteering. Measures
arc being taken to prevent further
storage. Inc eHpoIlalion Oh rice 1IoHi
China is prohibited except under per-
nit, but it is thought that considerable
quantities have been exported to coun-
tries where the cereal is more valuable
than it is in China, and this has ma
terially reduced available supplies.
One Of the natural sequels of the
shortage of rice is dissatisfaction
among laborers, clerks and employees
with present salaries. Many firms
have made provisions for increased
salaries of employees. or the equiva-
lent, during present high prices. 1t is
stated by those who have made the
question study that one picul of
rice is sufficient for five men for
thirty days, and with the normal price
OF $3.50 Mexican (S5.46 gold) a picul

France to Sell u. S. Army
Stock to Pay Allied Loan
American Bankers Will ADJ
vance $25,OOO,OOO at s
Per Cent ON SunnVies

PARIS, Sept. 13:-The French Min
istry Of Finance will pay part of the
$250000,000 due in October from
France on the Anglo-French loan from
the proceeds Of resale of the Ameri-
can army stocks which it purchased,
and upon which New York bankers
will advance sums reported to total
s25o0O,000 at an interest rate of 8
per cent.
The Harris Brothers Company, of
Chicago; will act as sales agents. The
stocks are valued at $150,0OO,0O0.
The stocks comprise an immense
variety of articles, including woolen
goods, harness. wagon wheels, hard
ware, canned foods and tools.
The government has found the
French people unwilling to buy the
articles among the supplies. made for
the American trade. The Frenchmen
who examine the woolen underwear,
for instance, find the pattern slightly
different from that which they are ac-
customed to wear and prefer to pay
more for their home product. Thus
warehouses covering several acres at
Issoudun are filled with American
wagon wheels with steel hubs and the
best white oak spokes, which have no
sale in France. The French are also
suspicious of the canned fruit and
vegetables from abroad

The success Of the new French bonds,
temporary certificates Of which are
traded in on q "when issued" basis on
shs Stock Exchange, is pleasing to
Thomas W. Lamont, who has just re-
turned to his desk after a vacation in
Maine. "The fact that the loan was
well oversubscribed should be q source
Of profound satisfaction to all con-
eerned," he said.

Yesterday for q half certificate, after
opening at s1o225. The final sale was
at. S1O125 and dealings for the day
amounted to about $350,000 par value.
In discussing the loan, Mr.. Lamont
said:
sNaturally 1 am delighted with the
wonderful success of the new French
loan. ! note that there is some COM
ment upon the fact that American in
favorable terms Of interest and re-
demption. The bankers who were re-
sponsible for bringing out this loan on
terms that would insure success for
France at the present critical juncture
would much prefer to be criti cized for
too much success rather than for fail
ure.
"Not only does this over-subscrip-
ton mean an immediate improvement
Of frances credit, but naturally it is
bound to reflect favorably upon the
credit position in America Of other
European countries whose exchanges
have been much deprecated. / regard
this piece Of financing as far-reach-
ing and favorable influence in rehabili-
tating here the credit which has been
questioned Of sound European govern
ments. Further, the fact that the total
amount subscribed for comes largely
from small investors all over the coun
try means much in any future offering
that France might desire to make here

ginning to recognize the brave and sue

basis to meet the present emergency.
Relief is being sought now hY the

basis to meet the present emergency.
Relief is being sought now by the
cooperation of the various commercial
organizations, headed by the General
Chamber of Commerce., and it is
thought that supply Of rice may be
imported from Saigon and other ports
which will tide over the present
emergency. 1t is stated upon reliable
authority that more than 100000
Mexican ($1 ,455,6o0 gold) has been
secured for the purpose of purchasing
rice from foreign countries.
The authorities forbade the mer-
ican, a picul ($1019 gold) for rice
after the first day OF July. AS a re.
suit the price has fallen to $3.50
Mexican { 1888 gold). Returns are
being required of all rice merchants
as to stocks in hand, and if storage
can be proved the Chinese authorities
state that they intend to take charge
Of the stored rice and dispose Of 1t SO
as to relieve the situation. The taking
of this action by Chinese authorities
has had avery salutary effect.

Costs and Decline i'm Rev.
enue Held Responsible

An increase of s2,S76.2s1 in operat-
ing expenses and q decline Of $419,-
$50 in incorporating income were
largely responsible for deficit Of
$4,096,373 reported by the Chicago
& Alton Railroad Company for the
1919 calendar year.
A comparative statement Of the COM
bined Federal and corporate income &C.
count, which is contained in the an
nual report issued to stockholders to-
day, shows that gross earnings were
over 1918. OF this total, however,
operating costs consumed $23,553, ,71O,
leaving net revenue from operations
of S1,718,623, decrease of $1,962,6O9
After deducting $738,867 for railway
tax accruals and $2,594 for uncollec-
tible railway revenues there remained
an operating income Of $977,162,
which was brought up to S1,373,799 by
the addition of other income. Total
deductions of $5,47O,173 left the def
cit already mentioned.
The report pointed out that OF the
increase in the operating expenses
vanced $765,491, due principally to
the inflated prices paid for labor and
materials. Maintenance of equipment
jumped $1,363,315, mainly for the same
reasons.
Under the heading Of additions and
betterments the following was re-
ported concerning equipment:
During the year 500 new drop bot
tom gondola cars were purchased and
received; one new steel underframe
baggage car constructed; mail car $40
supplied with steel underframe and
converted into baggage car; IA loco
