Canadian Trading Curbed
By New Regulations
prass

BY the Associated Press.
TORONTO, Sept. 16.-Trading by
Canadians in foreign securities,
especially in the New York market,
was severely curtailed today under
fear Of violating the new regulations
announced with the appointment of
a board at Ottawa for the control of
dealings in foreign exchange. -.
Most Toronto brokers ceased such
trades entirely pending definite in
structions from Ottawa.
The regulations came as COM
plete surprise to brokers and the
Executive Comittee of the Toronto
exchange met hurriedly this morn
ing to consider them. A member Of
the committee said later:
LAS far as we interpret the regu-
lations for the time being, a New
Yorker with credit balance Of, say,
$4,000 in a Canadian brokerage
account would be in a difficult posi-
ton. Just how the balance could
be paid to the New Yorker remains
to be worked out, but the regula-
tions imply special permission would
be required"
One New York house with Ca
madam branches announced they
were filling no orders for Canadians
on the New York exchange until
they get definite instructions as to
the brokers latitude in the matter.
Other brokers reported they put
through a little business this morn
ing and still others permitted only
the covering of short positions in
Wall Street. and in the Chicago Grain
Exchange.

Expected 10 Meet
Wider Market
Federal Bureau Warns
Producers Not to
Expect Big Boom
BY the Associated Press.

~
The Bureau Of Agricultural Eco
nomics predicted yesterday a broad
ening demand during the months
ahead for most American farm prod
ucts as result of the European
war and of recent expansion in do
mestic consumer incomes.
1t cautioned producers, however,
not to expect a runaway" war
boom, since supplies Of practically all
farm products were more than
enough for current and prospective
needs.
THE war" the bureau said, sis
likely to decrease European produc-
ton of some commodities and cause
belligerent nations to have less re-
gard than in peace times for the
effects of imports on their financial
resources of domestic economic pro-
grams"
The bureau said that some of the
initial war upsurge in commodity
prices already has abated since it
has become generally realized that
supplies of most raw materials are
ample and unused manufacturing
capacities are more than sufficient
to take care of any likely near-term
increase in consumer demand"
Other economic results of the
conflict foreseen by the bureau in
cluded:
/. Increased American trade with
Latin-American countries and with
other countries which normally OBJ
tain supplies from nations engaged
in war.
2. Greater recovery in domestic
industrial production than had been
anticipated by Government econo-
mists.
The bureau warned, however, that
the Nation may pay dearly" when
the war is over if farmers overex-
pand production as some agricul-
tural leaders fear they may do.

Express Shipments Sci
An-Time Records
During August
D. c. Store SuIes Likely
To Hit $400, 600, 900
By End Of Yeur
By DONALD B. HADLEY.

Railway express shipments ham
died by the Washington Office Of
the Railway Express Agency in Au-
gust and the first eight months Of
this year registered new all-time
records for those periods.
A report from c. w. Turner, SUI
perintendent, yesterday revealed
August shipments were 9 per cent
ahead of the same 1898 month and
approximately 81 per cent above
the 1897 month. The eight months
volume was 1923 per cent above a
year ago and 10.4 per cent above
the 1887 period.
Largely due to unfavorable wealth
er, shipments in the first 13 days of
September recorded the smaller
margin of 6.37 per cent over the
same period last year, but a sharp
pickup in the last few days has
forced the hiring of extra trucks to
take care of the business and the
final September gain should be in
line with other months of this year.
Because Of unusually large ship
ments in August year ago. after a
quiet summer had failed to equal
1887 levels, the gain Of 9 per cent in
August this year does not equal in
creases of other recent months.
In May this year shipments were
203 per cent above year ago; In
June, 1863 per cent above year
ago, and in July, 1872 per cent above
a year ago.

BY the Associated Press.

HARTFORD. Conn.,, Sept 10
Colts Patent Firearms Manufacture
ing Co. announced today it had de-
veloped synthetic composition for
the manufacture of costume jewelry
and would soon begin production of
jewels on large scale.
Benjamin F. Conner, vice presi-
dent. who for the last six months
has directed experiments in the de-
velopment of the new product, to
be known as Colstone. said it would
play a major part in the industry In
this country because domestic manu-
facturers had been wholly depend
ent upon the supply of "stones" COM
ing from Czecho-Slovakia which
now are not available.
Costume jewelry and gem exports
from Czecho-Slovakia have ranged
from $6,000,000 to 5000 900 annual
ly in recent years, Conner said
He said the company did not know
yet how many employees would be
added to the pay roll with the begin
ming of production and added that
despite the present heavy firearms
manufacture there would be room
in the present Colt plant to house
he new division.
