Long Rise in National Debt
Foreseen-Copper and

BY LEONARD J. REID.

LONDON, February 20.-A disap-
pointing and somewhat puzzling week
IN the city markets. featured by a
continued fall in gilt-edged bonds
and a resumption of speculative buy
ing of the base metals, ended with
sentiment steadier.
The expectation, held q week ago.
that the slump in gilt-edged securi-
ties was nearly over was shattered by
the governments disclosure Of inten-
ton to spend f1,500, ,000, 900 on arma-
ments in the next five years. This
created a long vista Of increasing
national debt and barely balanced
budgets. The impression was not
counterbalanced by the statement of
the chancellor of the exchequer that
only f32, 100000 per annum of extra
defense cost need fall on the tax
payers, which figure, should require
only small new taxes since revenue
on the existing basis is automatically
increasing from all sources.
Expected to Hold Level.
4I ID 1ldGuIdl, uOWcfcI, tllht tlAc fdot
figures of prospective spending and
borrowing should depress fixed in
terest stocks, while the depressing
influence extends to leading equities
with regular dividend records, since
the adjustment Of income yield ideas
and expectations Is affecting both.
Since January 1, the drop In Brit
ish government stocks is between f4-
100 and f7-10-O. It Is now be.
lieved that the war loan and also
other stocks with redemption dates
should be able to hold the new level
now reached, but further downward
adjustment of undated stock, such as,
for example. local loans and old con-
soils, would not be unexpected.
Cheap Money to Stay.
On the other hand, there are clear
indications of the continuance Of
cheap short-term money rates, which
the government still is able to influ-
ence decisively, while the improve
ment in foreign trade is definitely en-
couraging.
In the commodity market, the out
look for huge worldwide armament
expenditures suggests a rise to scare
ity values for copa and lead, but
authorities are not apprehensive Of
a serious advance in food raw ma
terials. Wage advances in Great
Britain have kept ahead Of the cost
of living, creating a real improvement
in the standard of living. There
fore, the commodity rise Is not yet
socially threatening.

held at 300 Franklin avenue here
Monday night.
A committee was appointed to
investigate reports that informa-
ton of deaths occurring at City
Hospital No. 2 is given out by en-
ployees OF the institution who are
paid by "body-snatching" under
takers. Such frst-hand data offers
INSCRIPTIONS persons an opportu-
nifty to solicit funerals, an official
of the association related. The
committee was instructed to take
the matter up with the Hospital
Commissioner, with. the view of
calling a halt on what, members of
the association call unprofessional
conduct.
Members of the Undertakers'
Association decided to start an i'm
mediate fight on so-called burial
leagues operated by whites, which
employ certain colored undertakers
to direct and arrange funerals at a
small fee. 1t is said the white pro-
motors of these burial leagues get
the bulk of the money.
The matter of wedding out un-
dertakers who have no reputable
and established business, who So
licit bodies and have. them con-
veyed to recognized mortuaries for
preparation and burial was dis
cussed.
Officers of the st. Louis Under

Jones, treasurer. The executive
committee is composed of G. W.
