The present quoted values of the
various issues of Liberty Bonds rep
resent increased wealth to holders
of nearly $1,OOO,00O,OO0, as COM
pared with their valuation at the
low price last year. The sudden rise
has shown an advance running from
2.36 to $40 points over the lowest
records of 1920. Taking the amount
of Liberty Bonds and Victory Notes
outstanding on June 80 last as a
basis, the approximate appreciation
in market value of the war issues
has amounted to $948,990,00O.

To Improve School System.


The State Board of Education, in
conjunction with County School Su-
perintendents, are formulating plans
for the improvement of the school
system. Increased appropriations
from the State are to be asked at
the next session of the Legislature
raising of the salaries of teachers,
improvement of existing school
buildings and the erection of new
ones, greater uniformity in methods
of teaching and Of subjects taught,
and the better training of teachers,
are among the improvements being
considered.
One of the steps taken in this pro-
gram was the recent conference of
the State Superintendent and his
staff with the county superintend-
ent and county supervisors. Another
step will be taken in the conference
to be held early in February of the
State Board of Education with the
county superintendent and the
county boards of education. Other
conferences will be held from time
to time for the next six months. 1t
is expected that large part of the
plans now being considered will be
put into effect this year. Other
phases which depend upon legisla-
tive action will have to be post
poned until 1922.

HALT SPECULATION
IN BRAZIL EXCHANGE
Rio de Janeir0 Officials Order
Only Legitimate Business
Transfers.

The Generalization in the foreign ex-
change market since Germany began the
reparations payments here some days
ago resulted yesterday in unusual action
by the Brazilian Government, which, ac-
cording TO private advices received here
by the Banco Nacional Ultramario. has
suspended all speculative transactions in
exchange.
Hereafter. the Brazilian cable said, the
Brazilian Government will permit no
transactions in foreign exchange between
banks except for the purchase and sale
OF checks to cover imports and exports.
This. 1t was said will eliminate specu-
lative selling of Brazilian exchange and
will have a stimulating effect on the ex-
change market. which. in turn. will bene-
at business both here and in Brazil.
Joseph NcCurrach, agent in New York
for the Banco NacIonal UltraInarino.
said yesterday that the Government
warehouses in Brazil are packed with
American goods shipped there and not
taken by the consignees. The warehouse
charges amount to 10 per cent. a month
for the first six months, after which the
goods are sold to settle the warehouse
bills. The stabilization of exchange, Mr..
McCurrach said will enable Brazilians
to pay for goods ordered and save
Americans large sums.
The same action was taken during the
war by the Brazilian Government, Mr..
McCurrach said, and at that time the
Bank of Brazil was put in charge of all
exchange transactions.
Brazilian exchange yesterday was
moro steady and at least one bid above
13 cents was made. The market quota
ton at the close, however, was un-
changed at 1925.
New York houses dealing in foreign
exchange were almost completely lost
yesterday in their sterling transactions
because of the demoralized condition of
that market. Sterling dropped from
3.759s to 3.69h. later recovering to
1874 for sight drafts.
After a fall of 6 cents to the pound
at London before the market opened
here there were wide differences be-
tween the minimum prices reported by
several banks One institution reported
transactions at 3.67h. The action of
other European exchanges was more
orderly.

half OF all the business done. As the
Victorys are expected TO be bought for
retirement by the Treasury with part OF
the proceeds from the pending sale OF
$500 900. 900 Treasury notes, Il may
have been that speculative purchases in
anticipation OF Government accumula-
tlon stimulated business in them. The
price range was narrow. however. and
the last quotation OF 9S.40 was the same
as that Of the day before. The corpora

The height of the successful bid indi-
Gates the confidence with which the
bidders view the outlook In the State
and municipal fields and the belief that
the bonds would be snapped up quickly
by investors. The small margin be-
tween the average OF the offering prices
and the purchase price for the bonds
could be justified only by anticipation
that the turnover would be quick. A
speedy placing of those bonds with IN
vestors would be regarded as constric-
tive and have an important bearing

TRADE REVIVAL NOT
NEAR, SAY REPORTS
Stagnation All Over World
and No Signs of Immediate
Improvement.

WASHINGTON. June 9.-World eco
nomic conditions during May did not
point to an immediate general business
revival, according to the monthly sum-
maries from its foreign representatives
issued tonight by the Bureau OF for
eign and Domestic Commerce.
Considerable improvement financially
was noted in Europe. but trade and
shipping were dull, with marked indus
trial difficulties apparent in some coun-
tries. In the Far East Improvement in
conditions was reported slight. and In
South America the situation was de-
clared practically unchanged. but with
less confident tone in future prospects.
While money Is easier in Great Brit
ain. the coal strike has caused general
stagnation of trade and industry, the
London report declared. The Industrial
situation probably has never been
worse, the report continued, with more
than 100000 persons idle and all In
dustries not shut down operating on part
time.
The French Government appears sat
isfied with the success of the 100000
feels It will permit payment of debts
previously contracted in this country
the Paris report asserted. Evidences OF
a revival In Belgian industries affected
by the British coal strike and an In
crease in imports of American food
stuffs and cotton were reported from
Brussels.
A decreased foreign trade and an
acute Industrial crisis, resulting from de-
creased prices, were regarded as the out
standing developments in Italy during
the month. Splendid crop prospects,
however. were reported.
The financial situation appeared to be
improving In Germany, the Berlin re-
port declared. but the industrial situa-
ton was being hanpered seriously by
the Silesian trouble and consequent ccal
shortage. Marked activity In establish
ing agencies in Austria by British East
Indian and Japanese interests was noted.
There were no signs of Improvement
In economic conditions In the Scandina-
Wan countries, the advices said.
A revival of industrial activity In
China was offset by depressed commod-
ity markets and small silk crop, ac-
cordipg to the Peiin report. Economic
conditions In Japan were said by Toxic
advices to show only slight improve
ment although the financial situation
was better.
Except for improvement in the Gov
ernment finances economic conditions
in Mexico were reported practically un-
changed.
Argentine financial conditions were
reported as about the same, but with
decrease in commercial failures. I'M
ports from Great Britain. except textiles.
were observed to be decreasing and Ger
man competition was reported keener.
Little change in the commercial situa-
ton in Brazil was noted. The Belgian
economic mission was said to be actively
promoting trade relations with Brazil
while Germany was making every effort
to regain it's former position. being
favored by its liberal credit terms and
low exchange rates.
The financial position of the Chilean
Government was reported as still criti-
cal and continued unsettled economic
conditions in Peru we're shown.
