i. S. MAY BENEFIT
BY CHINA BOYCOTT
But Ban on Japanese Goods
Has Not Yet Aided Amer
lean Exports.

A suggestion that American manu-
facturers might increase their exports
to China because Of the spread Of the
boycott against Japanese goods was re-
ceived by the Commerce Department
today from its representatives in Man
churia, Japan and China.
Published reports that the boycott
was already booming American business
in China were denied by department
officials. Exports figures available to
the department do not indicate an in
crease, they said, and If there is a de-
mand for American goods it will require
at least two months before such would
show to any advantage in trade circles.
Cotton Goods Trade.
Japan's principal export commodity
to China is cotton goods, and DEPART
ment officials expressed the opinion
that should the boycott spread and last
for any length of time British and Ger
man textile centers would replace
Japan in this trade. The only benefit
to American business arising from the
boycott would be an increase in Spe-
ciality goods, officials said.
Unconfirmed reports to the depart
saturated rs per cent of the Japanese
trade in the Shanghai area and that
inroads have been made in both North
and South China.
American shipping may benefit to
some extent, according to officials, be-
cause some of the larger Chinese
merchants have ordered restrictions of
shipment on vessels flying the flag Of
the Rising Sun.
American trading with China is con-
fined principally to gasoline, kerosene
oil, sugar, wheat and leaf tobacco.
Chinese traders were quick in taking
advantage OF the low raw cotton mar
ket, which accounted for the major
portion Of the increase in September
exports.
The increase amounted to 4 per cent
over August and brought the total up
to $8,098, 900, which is less than / per
cent below that Of September, 1880
October's exports figures are not yet
available.
Japans Trade Declines.
Meantime a cable from Commercial
Attache H. A. Butts at Toxic informed
the department today that the foreign
trade of japan declined during Octo-
Der to the lowest point recorded this
year. Adverse conditions in China
and India, according to Butts, were re-
Sponsible for the decline. Exports totaled
approximately $40 100000 against $780,
100000 in September, while october
imports were valued at $38, TOO, 600,
| compared with $47,OoO,00 in the pre-
viouS month.
The October export excess of $1O,-
100000 reduced Japan'S unfavorable
trade balance for the first time in nine
! -
5000 compared with the unfavorable
balance for the same period last year.
Butts reported that imports of raw
cotton dropped so per cent from the
September figure. but this decline was
more or less seasonal.

SUSPENSION OF TERM
SETTLEMENTS ANAL YZED
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 17.-One Of
the interesting features of recent Euro
pean finance has been the suspension
Of the term settlement system in Lon
don and Berlin, but its retention in
Paris. The New York Stock Exchange,
whose trading is on a daily settlement
basis, makes the following comment:
This is by no means the first occa-
sion when term or account dealings
have been suspended. The move was
general during the war.
Before the war the term account
was for a fortnight in London and
Paris, and for a month in Berlin. In
all three cases it was fortnightly &C
count which was resumed after the war
But subsequently the Berlin account
was once again made for a month.
only in New York is the regular
cash settlement for so short time as
single day. Also, cash settlements in
the European markets permit of con-
siderable delays under certain circum-
stances in delivering securities and even
in paying for them, and are not as def
mite as in New York. In London the
cash settlement Is ordinarily for or
days, in Paris for as long as 10 or IS
days, in Berlin for 2 days to week
and in Amsterdam about days. Am
sterdam, like New York, has never
adopted the term settlement system"

MONUMENT PLANS
LEFT TO EXPERTS
Proposed Gardening in Area
of Shaft to Be Studied
Here Next Week.

Future development Of the area sur
rounding the Washington Monument
and the proposal for suitable gardens
in that section will be left In the hands
Of q special engineering board Of ex-
perts called to meet in Washington
next week Lieut.. Col U. s. Grand, Sd,
parks, said today that the date Of the
meeting has not yet been set, since the
two engineers who will 60 over the
data live in New York and will arrange
the most convenient time for coming
to Washington.
Two alternative designs have been
prepared and the engineers viii ex-
anime the result of the recent borings
to ascertain which plan Is the more
practical.
Col. Grant said that the prime ques-
ton to be decided Is whether either
of the plans, or both, would overload
the base of the Washington Monument,
causing disaster by topping over the
shaft. 1t is proposed to place tons of
earth in the vicinity of the base of
the Monument; which is not constructed
on solid bed rock. The effect of the
placing of this additional weight near
the base will be determined by the
engineering board through information
secured from the drilling operations,
giving the character of the subsoil.
The two engineers serving on the
special advisory board are ]. Vipond
Davies and Lazarus White.

Senator King Announces He
Will Advocate Plan at Next
Congress Session.
UTAH DEMOCRAT CONFERS
WITH DR.. REICHELDERFER
Discusses Proposal to Broaden
General Powers of Board
of Commissioners.

Appointment of the Board Of Educa-
ton by the District Commissioners, will
be advocated at the next session Of Con-
gress by Senator King, Democrat, OF
Utah, he announced today.
The Senator also announced that he
Reichelderfer on the several proposed
bills he talked over last week with off,
Gals in the corporation counsels ofice
Would Broaden Powers.
One of the subjects he discussed with
Commissioner Reichelderfer was his
plan to broaden the general powers OF
the Board Of Commissioners to cover
some of the things on which the city
heads are now required to take to Con-
gress. The Senator said, however, thu
his proposal to transfer the power OF
appointing the School Board from the
Justices Of the District Supreme Court
to the Commissioners would be pre-
sented in a separate bill, rather than as
a part Of the bill increasing the mis-
cellaneous powers of the city heads.
The suggestion of having the Com
missioners name the School Board was
put forward on former occasions q
number Of years ago, and became con-
troversal question without resulting in
any change. It was included seven or
eight years ago. in former plan to
give the Commissioners wider author
ity, but was never acted on by Congress.
Plans Separate Measure.
Senator King said he would introduce
1t as q separate bill on the theory that
responsibility over all municipal. actiyi-
ties should be centered in the Board OF
Commissioners, although the School
Board would be the controlling factor
on educational problems.
The Utah Senator said he asked Com
missioner Reichelderfer to have the
local government send him suggestions
for the proposed bill to increase the
general powers of the city heads.
The Senator said he also plans to
make study during the recess Of the
needs Of the school system and the
courts.
