After careful study the company de-

a five-day week. The effect, so far as
company expenses are concerned. was
the same, but in return for some
what smaller envelope, each employe
received one day a week more leisure

The plan called for spreading" the
work among a greater number of en-

-4 The present financial situation in
Soviet Russia is now quite alarming
to such business interests as have
been giving large, longtime credits
to the Soviet. The failure of the
wheat crop is bad feature of the
Soviet crisis. Last year the Soviets'
adverse trade balance was rs million
gold rubles and had to be met by
exporting gold. This was in contras.
to the expectation Of a favorable
balance due to much larger ship
ments. The balance of trade for the
first six months of this year is un-
derstood to show deficit Of so mil
lion dollars and there is fear that it
will be even worse for the balance of
the year Before the end of the year
payments due the United States and
abroad will amount to 26 million dol
lars and there is uncertainty how
this can be financed, especially as
Germany, involved in difficulties of
it's own, has declined to grant RUS
sia a further loan Of 500 million
gold marks after having granted a
similar amount earlier in the year.
Exports to England are about five
times the imports from England to
Russia, whereas in the United States
the balance is usually about five
times the other way. To pay debts
surplus balances in England is now
more difficult since the collapse OF
the pound sterling reduces those bal
ances in terms Of dollars, about Is
per cent, and keeps reducing the pro
ceeds Of the dumping sales to Eng
land. The uncertainty over the sit
uation is shown by discount rates in
New York the last several months,
fluctuating between % to 36 per
cent per annum, but with very few
takers for lot Of paper offered. The
Soviet has recently had to cancel
large orders in Germany because un-
able longer to secure credits expect
ed. In the United States manufac-
turers are now afraid to grant credits
but they are told not to expect any
new orders unless first cash pay
ments can be deferred until 1888.

mitting a negative trade balance OF
