with the exception OF possibly four
or FIVE million. have religious be-
llefs, entirely different from the
English people. They have different
customs and different views on al
most every subject.
while there has always been
more or less opposition among the
natives to British rule. this opposi-
tion has grown a good deal In re-
cent years as more and more Of the
native Indians have been educated
and have begun to think OF India as
their own country and not as part
Of any foreign empire. The British
Government has always found il
necessary TO maintain a large mill
tary and governing force in India,
and from time to time there have
been riots and fights between the
natives and. the British troops. To-
day probably the largest anti-Brit-

to British rule and aim to show their
disapproval by refusing to cooper

PROVIDENCE. Aug. eo.-Al-
though mills of Fall River have
met the demand in the print cloth
market fairly we'll the sales for
the, past week have not been what
might be expected ( the mills had
been freer sellers. The prices held
firm and showed an advance Of an
eighth on wide styles over last
weeks quotations. The market
showed quite general inquiry for
all styles, with delivery running
through next month.
The situation a few days ago was
one attracting considerable atten-
ton. Mills stiffened up at once on
their quotations and since have
held very firm. Several concerns
absolutely refused to quote any
prices on goods whatsoever. The
first few days Of the week buyers
found a barrier confronting them
in the way of advanced quotations.
There was considerable specula-
ton as to whether or not this was
the proper course to pursue on the
part of the manufacturers atten-
ton being called to the fact that
business during the past month
showed a better feeling and an in
creasing volume of sales. Those
advances, however, were met In
many Instances, and trading was
established on the new basis Of
quotations.

KANSAS, CITY. No. Aug. 90
with the harvest completed and
wheat rolling into this market in
almost record quantities, the banks
and trade interests Of the interior
are looking ahead to the early au-
tunin with hopefulness. Already the
banks are beginning to feel the in
fiuence OF the deposit of grain
checks. and while there is not yet
enough movement 70 make material
change, the fact that there Is
change in the right direction is en-
couraging. The producing section
has spent the summer apparently
planning what to do with the new
income and has determined on one
course-to turn the new crop into
money.
In many instances there also is
being sold grain carried over from
the. crop of 1920, making double
return. Curiously. much less COM
plant of prices is heard than might
be expected. The time for that is
over. and now the average farmer
is looking ahead. rather than back,
sorry he did not take advantage Of
high prices last fall. but determined
to tempt fate no more. This Is hav-
ing its effect on the financial situa-
ton In the rural communities and
of course Is reflected in the larger
centers.

workers are kept fairly busy. There
is, however, little chance for out
siders, and those who are coming
from the East to get places are
generally disappointed. Partly this
is due to the indisposition to un-
dertake new enterprises. The funds
available are, II il felt. needed TO
carry through the winter, and banks
are not encouraging starting OF un-

CHICAGO OPPOSES
TAXEXEMPT ISSUES
Mortgage Loan Men Declare
Tax Free Securities Draw
Funds From Building.

CHICAGO. Aug. :o.-An effort TO
end the tax exemption of certain
classes of securities has been started
by the Chicago Mortgage Bankers
Association, which consists OF
money lenders on city real estate.
A recent statement was made by NJ
A. Traylor. of the First Trust and
Savings Bank, that including Liberty
bonds there are more than $4,000
oO0, 900 of tax-free securities afloat
in the country. These. he says, are
largely represented by municipal Sc
curities and result in keeping gen.
eral taxation high and restricting
productive industry. He asserted
that much municipal extravaganza
is due to tax exemption features
of municipal securities.
The Chicago Mortgage Bankers
Association charges that tax-exemp-
ton causes the diversion of large
amounts of money by States and in
dividuals with big incomes from
building enterprises to those with
are inert, So far as productive in
dustry is concerned. The building
shortage, it is claimed, Is due large
ly to the purchase OF tax free secur-
titles, the result being that rents and
taxes upon the general public are
increased. Protests against the
furtherance of tax-exemption have
ben sent to every member of Con-
gress, and the foundation Of a ma
tional organization OF city mortgage
loan men has been formed.
In the face of the above asser-
tions 1t is well to look at another
phase OF the building shortage.
which has to do with high rates for
money. high wages for building
workers, and high costs Of building
materials, which are controlled by a
combine that makes prices show
unusual profits. The Developments
brought out in statements of work
ing agreements and. regulations be-
fore Judge Lands of the Federal
Court, who is acting sas arbitrator
for the building trades workers and
contractors, present conclusive evil
dence of extortion. One of the reg
ulations in the plumbers union Is
that a worker cannot ride in an
to a job because it would

CHICAGO BROKERS
TAKE NO CHANCES
Dealers Employ Short Selling
As Insurance Against Loss
On Cash Buying.

CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-The hedging
Of grain. that is. the buying casn
grain by elevator interests ana
storing il and then insurtng against
loss from price changes by sales OF
futures at a higher price, Is now
of enormous volume. At no time
since the war has there been so
much hedging as this season, be-
cause the markets have permitted
such operations. Millers who took
the chance of hedging their cash
wheat at big discounts last year
saved themselves a loss Of so cents
to more than 81 a bushel. as prices
declined steadily from the middle
of July. The extent of hedging in
wheat by elevator interests who OPP
crate fifty to 125 country elevators
has aggregated at times 100000 to
100000 bushels. The - elevator
people are taking no chances and
keep their cash grain hedged.
Sometimes there is a slight loss In
the hedges, at other times a profit.
At present more than 70.o0o.ooo
bushels of oats are hedged in the
Chicago pit through sales Of Sep
TENDER and December contracts.
OHt elevator lHIcTeSl 10 StIu " h"' Y
100000 bushels out. Within the
past week fully 100000 bushels
have been turned over from Sep
TENDER to December at 2& to 81
cents difference. the December fu-
lures being at the premium. At
no time in the history of the trade
has there been such an immense
line of hedges out in oats at this
season. 1t is more than the visible
and available supply, as it includes
stocks in country elevators, and the
totals are considered rather low.
The visible supply of corn. which
has been close to 100000 bushels
OF late, was all hedged and . large
part of the $4,000. 900 bushels in the
visible supply of wheat Is hedged.
Were 1t not for the hedging cash
handlers would be forced to exact
larger margins from the farmers
and country shippers, but with the
hedging market their operations
are reduced to narrow margins.

|. GENEVA. Aug. 20.-In countries
with deprecated currencies bank
ing activities are OF much more i'm
portance than persons living under

pose. There 10 a constant readjust-
ment OF all values to the shrinking
value Of money. and the ensuing
transactions keep the banks busy.
Under such conditions the owners
Of goods are growing richer. in the
terms Of paper money, while the
holders Of the deprecisting money
grow poorer. This stimulates d oe-
sire among the moneyed groups to
convert their funds into securities.
or other property, and the result is
q heavy increase in banking trans
actions.
Profits Concealed
All this naturally increases the
profits Of the banking institutions.
and IL Is at present a matter OF i'm
portance to such concerns 70 conceal
such profits as best they can. The
hanks now have much larger stsffs
than they had before the war
though tho buying power Of the
billions OF marks which they dis
play in their balance sheets is really
much smaller than the sums which
they showed in 1913. Yet. for the
reasons already stated, the eco
nomic Importance Of the banks at
present is much greater than 10 re-
vealed merely by q study Of their
balance sheets. This is only a tenn
porary condition. and no one Kuo~s
what will be the effect on German
banking on the day when the coun-
try enters upon q course OF real
reconstruction. On the day that
the value Of the German mark be-
comes stabilized. even though at .
low level. there vii arise new
methods Of wealth-getting, or rather
a reversion Of business 10 its normal
role. and the change will show itself
in banking methods.
IT 10 doubtful IL German bankers
fully realize that their situation 10
