This paper contained an account of a man in Chambersburg, Pa., who answered to the same general des- cription of the man who was in Norwich and who tried a similar apparent suicide attempt in Chambersburg. He used rough or rats there also. The man in Chambersburg had with him a letter such as the man here had, telling of his wife in a western city who had just given birth to a baby and was, in destitute circumstances.

FROM THE CONSULAR REPORTS Brazilian commerce has been suffer- ing from extreme depression. Although the statistics published ev- ery week by the ministry of labor of France showing the number of un- employed who are receiving financial assistance from the government do not indicate the exact number of unem- ployed in France, the fluctuations of these figures nevertheless give some indication of the labor situation. The total number of unemployed being as- sisted at the end of January, 1921, reached:’ 47,124; this figure on April 30 increased to 8$4,810. On June 17 the number had dropped to 60,565, and on June 24 it was 54,002, ¢ Despite the good crop reports, it will be some time before France can be independent of imported wheat. Finland is in position to export 2,- 000,000,000 feet of lumber annually. Most of it is pine and spruce. In the fiscal year 1921 this country’s imports decreased by $1,584,000 as com- pared with 1920. This was partly due to lower prices, but in practically all cases the quantilies were less. Hides, silk, rubber, wool and cotton showed the greatest slumps. Antwerp reports an impetus in its diamond business. Holland has just harvested its sea- weed crop. Announcement is made by the Brit- ish government that gold exported by the Russian soviet government in par- cels of not under 25,000 ounces may be consigned to the Bank of England without prejudice as to title and own- ership. Re-exportations of such con- signments will be made to such con- signee as may be directed. Many German, Belgian and English branch houses and agencies were op- ened during July in Spain.
