BRITISH MINERS COMPLY
With Premier Lloyd Georges Request
for Delayed Action.

London, Jan. 29-Compliance with
Premier Lloyd Georges request that
| they postpone further action with ref
erence to their recent demands was de-
cided upon by the miners delegates at
conference here this morning. The
delegates had asked that the govern
ment reduce Immediately the price of
industrial and export coal; proceed
with the limitation of coal owners
profits, the limitation to be retroactive,
and take steps to reduce the price of
food and clothing to reasonable basis,
the alternative being threat by the
miners to demand an Immediately all
around increase in wages amounting to
five shillings daily.
The postponement agreed to by the
miners was for the period of one week,
in order TO allow the chartered account
ants sufficient time. TO report regarding
the figures of the governments profit
on coal. Robert Smile, the miners
leader, declared to-day that these
amounted to from f50,0O0,o00 to Geo.
100000 annually. He added that If
the present profiteering continued, the
miners federation would use its organ
ization in an endeavor to stop the ex
tortion.

Regular Profits VS.. Speculation.

The following letter received from ,
correspondent is typical of many in
quiries that are now being suggested by
exporters and indicates the condition
of affairs in our foreign trade as seer
by the practical business man:
1T has lately come to my notice that
various exporters do not get from tn,
banks the assistance they should re-
ceive for the necessary development OF
their business.
Il am told several banks refused to
discount sight drafts from first-class
New York export firms on excellent
South American customers for general
merchandise mot aniline dyes, etcl.
"The various reports of the Federal
Reserve banks are certainly discourag.
ing, if not alarming, to the exporter.
Il take this opportunity of calling
your attention to the fact that | have
lately seen various manifestos from
Buenos Ayres. TO my regret / find
that most OF the steamers brought only
English goods The low English ex-
change is a great boon to the English
trade. Not only is importing to Eng
land rendered difficult, as they can buy
their own goods at lower price, but
the low exchange enables them to offer
goods to other foreign countries cheap
er than we can"
The conditions thus set forth by our
correspondent are unfortunately only
too characteristic Of the present posi-
ton in our foreign relations. High ex-
change necessarily tends to give tenn
porary advantage to foreign producers,
and while this advantage is largely IL
lusory and not likely to continue long,
as it eventually works
against the country whose currency is

of low value, it is for the time being a
matter of no little difficulty to the com.
petitive exporter. There is no good
reason for refusing to supply proper
bank credit facilities in business with
South America, inasmueh as with most
of the countries in the southern conti-
nent our trade balance is unfavorable
to the United States. The same condi-
tions which initiate against free cred
its in trade with Europe ought to work
in favor of credit in business with
South America and the Orient.
However, it is true that our banking
system has for many months past suf
fered its resources to become involved
in speculative enterprises and has per-
mitted current rates for credit and cap
ital to reach abnormal levels in this
market. This grants to the British
dealer a distinct advantage. We are
not likely to hold our own position in
world trade until the time comes when
we are willing to prefer regular and

MONTPELIER
City Council Is Figuring on a Tax of
About S3.fo.

| The regular meeting of the city colin-
ell took place Wednesday evening when
, several minor matters were disposed
! of, but the main part Of the meeting
was on the budget which the council
will recommend to the voters at the
March meeting covering the work that
should be done in the next fiscal year.
1t probably will recommend about a
SO, 10 tax, although in so doing ii will
have to cut off some of the things that
the voters have been asking in the last
few weeks. The taxes of l07 men who
gave their services to the world war
were abated last evening, while the
taxes against the real estate Of Mary
Good and Mary 0'Malley were not
abated, although considerable argu-
ment occurred in the matter, board of
civil authority meeting having been
held before the city council meeting.
The pay rolls and other expenses were
met and it was voted to give the sports
committee of the board of trade per
mission to allow conducting sliding
on Main street under supervision of the
police department. @. A. Goodel Of
Warren was given permission to oper
ate his auto truck in Montpelier. Other
routine matters were discussed Ii was
the longest meeting of the year, owing
to the consideration OF the budget.

steady profits from legitimate banking
to earnings made on a speculative basis
from operations in the stock market.
Low reserves at the reserve banks
are partly an outcome of war and war
financing, but largely also the result of
the heavy speculative rediscounting OF
the past few months. The condition
must be corrected and the chief means
of rectification is the contraction of
credit. This is process which nat
urally hurts both the just and the un-
just, although possibly in differing de-
grees. The federal reserve system has,
however, thus far had little relation to
foreign trade and cannot be expected
at this particular moment to play a
very direct part in its development.

sY REVIEW LEASED WIRE

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-The more alarming crash in foreign exchange today overshadowed all other consid- erations and developments III the stock market and substantial shares were impaired by to 5 points and many of the more speculative issues suffered greater depreciation.
 The further collapse of interna- tional credits not only carried remit tances on London and leading Euro pean capitals to new points of dis count but was so sweeping as to em- brace the British provinces. In Mon treal for example, exchange on New York was at a premium of 1872 per cent. During the more feverish pc riod of the decline in c>cnange 1t was reported that dealers would only ac- cept bills for collection. Tn effect they declined to buy outright because of the markets extremely cratic course.
 Oils and shippings also gave way to more extensive offerings and nu- merous miscellaneous specialties par ticipated in the decline, but rails of the better grade finished at relatively nominal losses. Sales amounted to 100000 shares.
 Two of the Liberty bond issues, the second As and second 4H's, estab- lished new low records during the session. Other Liberties and the Vic tory notes were variably lower with internationaIs, including Paris 6's. The general bond market Mas weak.

Florence Notes

FLORENCE, Sept. 22-The Flor
ence chamber of commerce rendered
a banquet to Colonel Franklin of the
army convoy and Mr.. Roundtree, the
director general of the Bankhead high
way, last Monday noon.
The purpose of the banquet was to
hear from the colonel and Mr.. Round
tree the reason for the convoy not
passing through Florence on the route
to Los Angeles.
The only thing that kept the colonel
from following the route as was orig
inally planned was the impassability
of the Gila river. This fact, however,
as he assured the members present,
would not change the proposed route
of the highway when built. The
colonel and his associate, Mr.. Round
tree, were both loud in their praise of
this state and the people here.
