URGE THAT CITY TAKE OVER WORK I Taberculosis Relief Wishes fo Make Change. The membership of the New Brit- ain Tuberculosis Relief association last night unanimously voted in favor of a retommendaiton to place the manage- Mment of the society’s work in the hands of the city healthy department. Inasmuch as Dr. T. 8. Reeks, the su- Perintendent of the healin depart- ment, favored the plan, it is believed the change wil] come shortly. President A, Buol brought up the question of having a professional man At the head of the organization and Stggested that a city department, Preferably the hoard of health, take over the work. ' He said that the Work has grown so rapidly that one nurse can hardly take of® It The financial problem also is press- ing. It the work is taken over I city department, the organization will Become an advisory bBody and will as- sist in every possible way. The officers of the society elavted, as follows: President—A. Buol. Vice President—J. T. Secretary—P. Treaxurer—(‘ Board of Ma Sheldon and Miss Sara Carroll, an interesting repor FEXowth of the public's attitude toward the disease and the difficultics met with in the work. The use of patent Medicines was one of the things de- nounced by Miss Carroll. *“So long,” shef said, “as people remain ©f the earlier evidences of the ease, so long as they do not medical care, so long as they themselves with patent medicines: Jus¢ so long will tuberculosis cases 80 unrecognized, in spite of all the ddetors in the world.” Urges Necd of Day Camp. . Miss Carroll pressed the need for a day camp in New Britain as a feature invaluable to the patients who for varipug reasons cannot leave home to £0 to a sanatorium. “In other cities,” she said ‘‘day camps form a very im- | portant part in the fight against the | disease. Here, patients that are able to exercese are expected to Treport every morning at 9 a. m., where they stay until 4 or 5 p. m., thus taking them away from their homes, where too often the sanitary conditions are not whati they should be. They are given a good dinner and milk between means; they must be out of doors and igey must observe the rules for rest at the proper time. “Lessons in embroidery, basketry, chifir-caning and various other in- dustries are given, for the occupied mind is happier and happiness is necessary if one is to gain health. Most of the materials used are do- peted and at the end of, the season a'sale is held of the articles made by e patients, the proceeds being di- v‘jed among them.” “In the absence of Treasurer C. B. Parsons, the financial report was read . by Mr. Curtis, as follows: Balance from 1913, 196.55: con- tributed by patients $42.70; Daugh- ters of American Revolution and 'lhp’!’ Stanley Chapter, $100; visiting | nyrse association, $7 factory can- | vass, $193.75; Red Cross stamps, $1.- | 319.25; lodge and society donations, $11-q: istelle C.

(Special to the Herald.) New York, Jan. 30.-—Suspension of the dividend on U. S. Steel quite a setback to the market. As the earnings of the company for the last quarter fell more than $8,000,000 be- low the reguirements for dividends on the preferred and dividend, conditions, caused common which was eminently stocks, passing the repre- | sented past proper and should excite no criticism. the corporation has been ning for months at less than 40 of its capacity, and since reen abnormally Since run- per cent. prices have observer low, no sane expected that the dividend would be earned in the last quarter; nor could any prudent investor pect the company to indefinitely con- paying dividends out of surplus. Look to New York. The most potent feature in the fi- nancial situation the growing abundance of loanable funds available This is largely ex- tinue unearned is for short term loans. attributable to the dullness of busi- ness, although the reduction of re- serve requirements from 25 to 18 per cent. is an important factor. As an offset to the latter influence the emer- gency currency outstanding has been reduced to $70,000,000. At one time the total issue of these notes amount- ed to considerably over $300,000,000, of which about $140,000,000 were is- sued by New York banks. All of the last named sum has been with- drawn, the last note being redeemed on Wednesday, New York bheing the first of the 43 currency associations formed under the Aldrich-Vreeland bill to completely retire them. This is another proof, if one is needed, of the strength and capacity of New York as a banking center. All the great nations of the world are now looking to New York for financial as- sistance. They are establishing big credits here, presumably for war ma- terials, and our bankers are consider- ing new foreign opportunities which would never have presented them- selves but for this European conflict. Moreover, the war will absorb all available funds in foreign markets for months and perhaps years to come. Ordinary capital applications in Europe are practically suspended. Thus we may mand for capital in the United States | to aia forcign as well as domestic en- terprises; all of which means dearer capital everyhere, no matter how cheap money may temporarily be. January developed a much better investment demand for securities than was expected. Evidently capital had been® accumulating in spite of last year’'s retrogression; and recent im- provement in general conditions seems to have induced fair buying of high grade railroad shares, gilt-edged bonds, public utility issues and term notes. There was also a inquiry for a certain class of indus- trials, particularly those benefiting from the war. The abundance of | money at low rates also induced larg- er purchases of good dividend-paying stocks, which at present figures often show a good profit where dividends considerably exceed carrying charges. Since the first of the year the market has had a steadily broadening tenden- cy, and this, too, imparted greater confidence in values. Tendency Towards kn provement. As to general conditions, the tend- ency is rather towaras improvement than otherwise. Confidence has been steadly growing because the country has adjusted 1iseif to the war | basis, because the antagonism to capi- tal shows signs of abating, Dbecause ! our legislators are beginning to r ize that attacks upon business have been carried to an injurious degree and because the railroaa outlook has improved by the manifestation of a more considerate spirit on part of the Interstate Commerce commission. Our continued large export movement and the resulting favorable balance of trade is likewise an important factor, inasmuch as it strengtnens our ability to retain, if not attract gold. At present the excess of exports over im- ports is phenomenal; tie only draw- ! back being that diminished imports are having a detrimenial effect upon national revenue. 1t 18 much more desirable that we import merchandise than securities in payment for our e: ports; because Kurope is likely to re- sist a gold movemeni in this direc- tion, and we do not wish an influx of American securities.
