Jones, assistant cashier of the Stoneham National bank, and all of the property which is in Jones’ wife's name, have been attached by the Stoneham bank officials, through an action of con- tract and tort, filed by Luther Hill, acting as counsel for the bank. Jones waived examination when ar- raigned before United States Com- missioner Hayes yesterday on a charge of stealing $41,000 from the bank, and was held in $40,000. bail to await the action of the United States grand jury, which convenes on June 20. Amount Named $20,000. The amount named in the writ is $20,000. Mr. Hill stated yesterday that the officials of the bank thought that this.amount would cover all of the property which Jones and his wife are said to posses: Attorney Hill fur- ther stated that the reason for the at- tachment being placed on Mrs. Jones' property was because the officials are of the belief that Jones had some time during his ten years of con- fessed stealing at the bank conveyed a good deal of property bought with the stolen money to his wife. The attachment also covers any conversion of property which might have been purchased by Jones with the bank's money, which he has taken, and should it be proved that Jones had converted any property into money or money into property during the last ten years, the attachment could be executed. Shortage Near $350,000. Up to a late hour last night the di- rectors of the bank and the examin- ers had not finished their examina- tion of the books. Director Nickerson stated yesterday that in all probabil- ity the gross amount taken by Jones would be in the neighborhood of $41,- 000. Attorney Frederick Daggett, counsel for Jones, declared last night that his client would be out of the Eas bridge jail by Monday or Tuesday at the latest. He stated that the short- age would be nearer $50,000. No Woman in Case. When asked whether it was true that Jones had been keeping com- pany with a woman who lived in a Back Bay hotel, Attorney Daggett stated that any rumor of Jones being with another woman is absolutely false. He further stated that Jones had spent a good part of the money on his family, by living above his means, and that easily two-thirds of the amount taken from the bank had been lost, in stock speculation. The town of Stoneham has not yet recovered from the shock of Jones’ embezzlings. Depositors are yet a bit worried as to the safety of their money, and many depositors have called at the bank with their bank books to have them verified. It is expected that the officials of the closed bank will give out a state- ment in which they will name the exact amount of money that Jones has taken. MOVIE CENSORSHIP. The ordinance committee of the common council to wh#mn was referr- ed the question of drafting ordin- ances regulating moving pictures met last night and after discussing the matter voted to meet with represen- tatives of the school board next Fri- day afternoon. The proposition to censor moving pictures came from the school board in the form of a resolution and the common council decded more information was needed before any action could be taken.

New York, June 10.—Not in many years has the presidential campaign been so tame and free of excitement. No great political, economic or social issues are at stake—at least no radi- cal differences of opinion exist—and the whole campaign thus far has been one of men rather than of issues. Patriotism and preparedness seem to be the only live subjects; and regard- ing these, the differences are mainly in degree. That the whole country Lelieves in patriotism as well as in rreparedness goes without saving; and, since there can be no great con- flict of apinion ahout the degree of either, it follows that no very heated campaign can be based upon such issues. The tariff will probably. be- come more prominent later on, be- cause the country will need a much lorger revenue to meet the inevitable cost Of preparedness, and the tariff can readily be made a larger source of revenue if not pushed too high. When the nominations are agreed upon and the issues more clearly de- fined in party platforms, a more in- telligent ‘apinion can be formed tc the outcome. During the next six months more or less heated discus- sion must be anticipated, although the present campaign promises to be much less disturbing than usual, Our foreign trade in April showed splendid result: Imports were valued at $217,700,000, or $57,000,000 in excess of the same month last Year. Exports were $399,800,000, or $105,000,000 more than a year ago. The excess of exports was $182,000,- 000, compared with $134,000,000 in 191 This is usually the season of ceclining exports when crop move- ments have passed the maximum, and the increase must be largely attri- Luted to munition shipments, espec- jally as the British blockade has ma- terially interfered with exports ta neutral countries contiguous to Ger- many. In April the exports of food- stuffs dropped to $87,000,000, com- pared with $105,000,000 a vear aga, “hile the shipments ofi manufactures r0se to $257,000,000, against $128,- 000,006 in 1915. For ten months of the fiscal year imports have been $1,722,000,000, or $348,000,000 more than last year; while exports ere $8,395,000,000, an increase of $1,170,- 000,000, The excess of expn in these ten months was $1,673,000,000, compared with $851,000,000 a year ago. It should not be forgotten that our foreign returns have much inflated by the rise in values. In a few instances the rise in values has beén double the rise in volume. TIn the majority of cases the advance in values has been much greater than in quantities, and in only a few es has the value gained less than quan- g These fluctuations are almost entirely due to the war, which revolutionized foreign trade. Little prospect exists for a return to former conditions. New openings are being made for American products in foreign markets owing to withdrawal ¢t some of the belligerents. Some of these markets we will hold perma- pently, athers may return to former channels after the war. Foreign purchasing power, aside from sheer necessities, will ‘undoubtedly be cur tailed for a. period, and foreign coun- tries will have a smaller surplus of products ta sell the United States. On the other hand the various belli- serents may recuperate more rapidly than generally expected, and if so the depression after the war will be les prolonged than sometimes antici- pated. Doubtless there will be sharp competition for the world's markets during the next decade, and the end of the war will find the United States in better condition for the struggle than any other nation so far : impaired strength as a ctor concerned. Our chief handicaps will be high costs of production, inade- quate banking and transportation fa- ities and unfamiliarity with foreign requirements, as well as unprepared- ness to meet foreign competition. In skill and experience necessary to ex- port trade, foreign manufacturers are often aur superiors, but in all these respects we are ready learners and not likely to let opportunities go by default. Our foreign trade has a brilliant future; and, notwithstanding the irregularities which war may bring, war has opened the door to trade expansion wider than ever dreamed of before the present up- heaval began. There is nothing in the financial tuation to warrant either pro- nounced optimism or undue caution. Favorable conditions appear to have been well discounted, and unfavo able conditions are difficult to gis- ccver in view of general financial strength and wide industrial activity, War news, except the Russian victory, exerted little effect, and this market has abandoned expectation of early peace. Cessation of hostilities would affect a few stocks unfavorably, while a larger number would undoubtedly be favorably influenced. Aside from the purely sentimental sense of relief which peace would bring, the stop- page of the waste of capital and the cessation of foreign selling of our securities would certainly be helpful to the stack market. This country has certainly bought back a billion of its own best securities since the war Legan and some estimates are 50 per cent. more than that. Had it not been tor this diversion, the bulk of all this capital would have gone to the de- velopment of home industries. Thus it happens the war has unbeknown to many deferred hame enterprises; and peace would, if nothing else inter- fered, lead to their resumption. Business in this country is still very active in spite of the slowing down which has occurred in some lines, was certainly desirable if been TFORD ONEPRICE (¢ 114116 ASYLUM - ST. \9 HARTFORD.

Attention this week has been largely diverted by the automobile mergers and the attendant speculation, which induced some discrimination in con- servative banking circles, A tem- advance in call ‘money also excited comment; and, considering decreased bank reserves and the big expansian in loans, expectations of a firmer money market in the future were justified. As, however, the flurr was #*largely the result of preparations for a big British credit in this market, these factors were overlooked for the time being, though likely to re-assert themselves later on. There are rumors also that France, Russia and even China are seeking loans or credits in this mar- ket. New York financial institu- tions hold large amounts of British- cwned American securities as col- lateral against loar and these are being steadily distributed whenever the market splays any special strength. This persistent pressure of marketable securities effectually pre- \ents any big rise in international 1ailroad shares, notwithstanding their greatly enhanced status; but has not an element of weakness be- British government in di- recting the distribution of these se- curities is prudent enough from motives of self interest not to spoil or depress its own market. The outlook is for a fairly active market with moderate fluctuations. The war is still the most vita] factor. The political campaign being un- usually quiet and uninteresting is a factor of little influence either way. The crop situation is not entirely satisfactary. According to the gov- ernment report, the wheat crop is largely below st year’s, the winter crop showing a loss of about 180,000,000 bushels, which is of crurse bevond repair. Some improve- nient may occur in spring wheat, but that is often only about one-third of the entire crap. There is a surplus «f about 200,000,000 bushels left over from last year, so there should be no scarcity, but the world situation is stch as to indicate good prices for growers. If we succeed in keeping out of the terrific waste of life and property in FEurope, there is no reason why the country should not erjoy another season of widely di; tributed activit Outside of the war the chief dangers are within our own contral—the dangers of inflation and ill advised promotion—dangers which fortunately are fully recognized by those able to deal with them. The al market spotty Railroads owed the most relativ especially the coalers chiefly held at home. of the industrials were particularly stron but the activity of motor shares and their evident manipulation induced | more or less hesitation.
