TRAVEL PEAK REACHED

lO3OOO dScC1lSCAS odAl
 in Nine Liners from New York
 City.
 New York, July IS PeThe peak of the European travel rush thus far this season will be reached to- morrow with 13,000 passengers sail ing on nine liners.
 About 2,000 passengers each will be carried on the North German Lloyd liners Columbus and Bremen, the Leviathan of the United States lines, the Cunarder Berengaria and the White Star liner Majestic.
 The others will go on the Ham, burg American liner Hamburg, the President Roosevelt of the United States lines, the Drottning- Holm of the Swedish American line and the Bergensfjord of the Norwegian American line.
 Keen competition among steam- ship companies this summer has caused a speeding up of schedules which permits the ships to get in an extra voyage during the season.

BUSINESS INDEX
GAIN SEEN

There is a marked shortage of
unfavorable factors in the past
weeks statistics, and signs multi
ply that business as a whole is
not getting worse and is making
definite improvement-too slow
to warrant any high hopes of
quick recovery this year, but
steady enough to justify those
looking and planning ahead for
next year, says the Business
Week in its report covering the
week ending october Is. Business
is bearing up as well as can be
expected under the weight Of
the wave of uncontrolled defla-
ton which financial fataliSm and
lack Of business craftsmanship in
this country let loose upon the
world in the third quarter.
The Business Index has risen
again for the fifth consecutive
week, from 87.1 per cent to 87.5
per cent of normal, for the week
ending October IL, reflecting
chiefly continued expansion in
general trade and a level of build
ing sustained above seasonal ex-
pectationS. In the same week a
year ago, the index settled at
1854.
Increased consumption Of cleo
trio power in manufacturing dur
ing September with some gain in
employment and payrolls, indi-
cate a fair seasonal resumption
of industrial activity. A further
rise in foreign trade in September,
with record exports Of cotton,
offers some encouragement in
face of increased uncertainties
abroad. Sharply rising orders for
machine tools for the second con-
secutive month shows that some
industries, at least, think the
States have a future.

the honor roll will boast at least

NEW FINANCING
S103,287,000

First major municipal borrow
ing operation in some time is
slated tomorrow when the city
of New York will sell $75, ,oO0, 900
of 4 per cent corporate stock to
the highest bidder.
This sale is the outstanding
item in a list Of new financing
totaling $103,2s?,2 ,253 scheduled
during the coming week. In the
current week the amount was
only $14,949,2 ,278, according to the
Daily Bond Buyer.
In addition to the New York
sale, two other large flotationS
will be undertaken. Vancouver,
B. c., and the Province of AL
berta will award a total of $8.-
612, 2,588 tomorrow, and on Wed
nesday the State of Minnesota
will consider bids for $4,000, ,000
road bonds. Calgary, Alta, will
receive tenders On the same day
for $1,675, 900 bonds.
Chief interest in the forthcom-
ing offerings centers around the
city Of New York flotation. Not
only because of its size but be-
cause it usually brings the two
most important banking groups
in the city as rival bidders for
the issue.
However. some doubt has arisen
in the minds Of certain invest.
ment bankers whether the neceS-
Sary tender Of par will be forth.
coming and in view of this a be-
lief prevails that perhaps other
syndicateS might enter into the
competition.
Important sales listed in the
coming week by the Daily Bond
Buyer are as follows:

eight are paying dividends, al
though a few are reported con-
sidering reductions In their rates.
American Chicle, Fox Film, In
ternational Cement. Paramount
and White Rock are on this. list
which has been prepared by Theo-
dore Prince e. Co. These COM
panies are among those on the

making a better earnings show
ing this year.
Such stocks as American Smelt-

times their 1880 earnings.
But there are many more that
are not.
Loans to business show a fur
ther expansion in this weeks
Federal Reserve report, while di-
rect bank loans on stocks and
bonds are lower. The loans to
business by the New York Fed
eral Reserve member banks now
total $2,535, 900, a gain of $79,-
100000 over the last week. A
continued expansion in these loans
means more work for labor.
Increased wages are to be
given this month to workers in
the Ford German plant. This is
in face of a greater surplus Of
workers in Germany, where the
unemployed now total 5000, 900,
against 100000 a year ago. This
is the reverse Of the policy fol-
lowed by some American en-
ployerS, who have been reducing
wages.
Apropos Of unemployment, r.
G. Dun and Company makes the
pertinent comment business is re-
spending quickly to any increase
in employment. A few more
plans like the one being worked
out by Seward ProSSer's COM
mittee and business will soon be

American Colonists
Chiefly Migrants,
Says Professor

BOSTON, July 81 tIN.S.).
In comparing social and eco
nomic conditions of colonial
times in Europe with what is
being experienced by America
today, Prot. Robert e. Moody.
in opening the Tercentenary
course on History and Litera-
tyre Of the Massachusetts, Bay
Colony at Boston University's
summer session, said:
with the rural population
Of England rapidly moving to
the cities, due primarily to the
Enclosure laws, . temporary sur.
plus of labor was involved in
the Colonial period.
Many Of the people saw in
the new world q chance to get
away from unfavOrabIe cOndi-
tiOns. England did not want
law-breakers and like offenders
in the country, and she sympa-
thixed with their efforts to
leave. Consequently, many who
came over within the Colonial
period were warrants and pc.
temtial criminals"
