Berlin newspapgrs assert that Riga is German, having been found- ed by merchants of Bremen.about | the thirteenth centnry, and always preserved its German character, though only two-fifths of its popula- tion are German. Most of the rest are Lithuanians and Esthonians, the Russians forming only a very small colony. The Berlin Deutsche Tageszeitung asserts that the fall of Riga must | convince the Germans that they are | victorious, and that this great prize | will not be given up at a green table. d5conomically, it says, Riga is import- | ant as a busy port and a flourishing industrial town, but strategically is even more important, as it turns the members and congregation as wijl are requested to go.

PROSPECT OF GETTING TO FRANCE SCON MAKES MEN AT SPARTANBURG HAPPY The news that there was to be only a short halt along the route from Broadway to France, that there was to be no long period of tedious “home’ ’training here, brought forth much enthusiasm among the men of the Twenty-second New York engi- neers and the headquarters troop, the only units now at Spartanburg, S.

RICE (O | N4 16 ASYLUM sT.q' HARTFORD. . REGULATION | ARMY OFFICERS’ SHOES Henry Clews’ Weekly Letter o J | (Spe to the Herald) | New York. Sept, 8.—As indicated | in our previous review, the heavy liquidation in stocks during the last | three weeks was due primarily to fright induced by the radical outbreak in congress, The evident desire on the part of certain political cliques to penalize wealth by confiscatory taxes whenever and whever possible, the realization, too, that the era of profiteering has about finished, and, finally, the unfounded rumors that the government was to take over the railroads gave the bears an unusual ! oppértunity. Professional raids were frequent and successful, meeting with | no effective resistance from the big | holders of securities. Unconsciously the radicals in congress played right into the hands of the very speculators and manipulators they most desired to punish; but the foolish and misguided desire o injure wealth is unfortunately still alive. It dies hard, even in con- gress, which by this time should have learned that it is injuring its own best friends by such tactics, Whenever capital is struck, 1t promptly seeks kindlier environment; enterprise van- ishes and employment slackens. When profits are attacked, savings decline, there is less money to spend, and the supply of capital is dried up at its primary source. That ignorance of the simplest economic laws still rules where reason’should preval is obvious, and lawmakers go blundering along in their confusing career, the public meanwhile suffering from the folly of such experiments. Happily the radicals were badly routed in the senate vote on the Revenue Bill on ‘Wednesday, and the efforts to impose a practically confiscatory tex on profit a practica)ly confiscatory tax an profits proved a significant failure. Instead of the measure in which it was proposed to impose taxes on profits of 70 to 80 per cent. the bill as amended by the senate increased the Federal taxes only $1,060,000,000, a sum which can be raised without harmful effects. The senate as whole is evidently disposed to act rationally. The administration is known to be f v opposed to ex- treme action, realizing full well the yzing consequences of closing up rings of capital. the matter of price fixing the is also pursuing a rea- In no case, unless " In government sonable course. it be that of soft coal, has there been any radical changes from present prices. On the contrary, figsures have been allowed which will grant pro- ducers liberal profits by preventing erratic and extreme speculative fluc- tuations, a degree of stability thus being introduced into industry which should prove satisfactory to all con- cerned. Merchants are thus being freed from embarrassing uncertainties and confident in the stability of prices are more able to make plans extend- ing into the future. The public mean- while is protected from further ex- tortion. while sufficient profits have been allowed to stimulate production. To this extent the husiness situation has heen improved, although as stead- ily maintained in these advices, gov- ernmtnt price fixing is uneconomic, sound and can only be accepted ctly as a war measure. No change can be recorded in the war outlook. Teace talk is very ac- tive. Tt is apparently inspired by consciousness of weakness in German circles. No one believes Germany is ready to submit to the terms which e to be insisted upon by the who are making vigorous prep- arations for a strenuous and decisive campaign next spring. A few si@ik- ing tendencies ard obvious in current events: fi the rising strength. of the Allies in men, morale and mu- nitions, and, second, an equally steady fall of the same in all of the Central Powers. These contrasts in strength hetween the opposing forces are growing rapidly: they are materially intensified by the economic starvation of Germany, and when spring arrives with a big. cfficient American army esh in the field. backed hy practic- Ally unlimited resources, then there mway be reasonable hope for a peace dictated by the Allies; a peace that will be based on victory and based on just reparation and restitution. No wonder the Central Powers ‘vould like to make peace and go home be- fore the storm which they brewed breaks furiously upon them and gives them a taste of the suffering they have so cruelly inflicted upon others. The advancing tendency in interest rates is a constant though generally overlooked influence in the stock mar- ket. The colossal waste and absorp- tion of capital can have no other | effect than to produce higher inter- est rates. Even with the enormous accumulation of profits, out of which capital comes, the demands upon our resources for ourselves and the Allie draw money very seriously from new enterprise. Capital, like any other commodity or service, demands and secures better rates of compensation as a result of war conditions. Under such circumstances many securities, particularly those of the highest class, must readjust themselves to higher interest rates. In other words, if the [Richter&Co \ .

General Electric was off 8, Bethle- hem Steel B 4, Telephone 2, apd other issues lost from half a point to a point. The selling of General Elec- tric and Pullman came at a time when the market was showing an ad- vancing. tendency and the lack of ex- planation for this liquidation offset all other cosiderations so that the bears had matters their own way when once more they attacked prices. In the final dealings supporting orders were distributed and the market rebound- ed strongly all around. The close was firm. Liberty bonds were quoted at 99.84 to 99.9 returns on capital are fixed, lower prices follow inevitably. Tast week’s bank statement was temporarily un- favorable, and this resulted in tran- sient high rates for money. . These four factors, the revenue bill, price fixing, firmer money and radic- alism in congress, created a scare among weak holders of margined stocks which professional operators | used as a means for depressing the stock market. Security values now are at a point which should attract renewed investment buying. It is truc that the future is still full of uncer- tainties. year, as many believe, the present rate of expenditures by our govern- menty which has not only its own op- erations to finance, but those of the Allies, may act as a further depress- ing factor. On the other hand, there are many encouraging conditions. Congress may soon adjourn. The country is sound financially and com- mercially. We are sure of the most prosperous year in agriculture that we have ever experienced. The same is equally true of all the chief in- dustries. Wages are high and farm- ers and working men are, likely to be free spenders. This means an active consumption demand for many lines of merchandise. Transportation probt lems are less acute than a year ago. New tonnage is being turned out at a tremendous rate by Great Britain and the. United States and other nations, which means that there will be less difficulty in transporting foor anr mu- nitions across the Atlantic than has been the case in the last six moths. As aresult exports will continue right along, notwithstanding the embargo on food shipments now in force and which has caused a setback in our foreign trade. Our railroad problem is also less acute than was the case three or four months ago. Big traffic during the next three or four months is a practical certainty. For the sev- en months ending with July, 106 of : the larger railroads, according to the Interstate Commerce Commission, had total revenues of $1,230,681,000, an increase of more than $138,000,000 from the, corresponding revenues of 1916. The net revenue during the same period was $368,000,000, com- pared with $360,000,000 a year ago. Better results should appear during the closing months of the yea as traffic is heavier. Some conc: ons have been made to the roadss and net returns should correspondingly im- prove, especially as the shortage in cars is being largely compensated for Should the war last another | | j tion against August Kleinschmi i sell a store | Mohills.
