French treasury bills are being offered In London on a 3 per cent, basl', and are reported to have been taken freely at this flguie. LONDON SITUATION IMPROVES. Another evidence of tho Improvement abroad Is shown In tho weekly return of the Bank of England, which has just been lsued, and which gives the propor tion of reserve to liability nt 21.18 per cent. This represents n gain of 6 per cent. 04 compared with tho reserve as It stood at tho outbreak of the war, and an Increase of about l', per cent, over last week The Institution has added 13055 002 to Its reserve during tho week, slid $G,OCO,1 to Its bullion holdings, while ik.rn has been a big contraction In t loans, other securities showing a decrease of 115 CT.WJU.

There was a good attendance of brokers In the London financial district today but tiadlng In securities was not brisk. Gilt-edged Investment Issues were lifeless, as brokers are not willing tb take risk of advising clients because of fixed prices. Australian mining Issues hardened on tho announcement that the Sydney and Adelade Stock Exchanges would be reopened on Monday nnd that the exchange at Melbourne would resume business shortly. An Issue of 2,000,000 sterling Sao Paolo, Brazil, notes matured today. Metropolitan Water Board bills to tho amount of 1,000.000 were paid for. Call loans wore plentiful at 1V per cent. Three months' bills were 3 per cent. An Issue of 20.000 Indian rJoverriment bills will be offered next AVednetday. Thanks to an Improvement In tho Eu ropean war situation, duo largely to the reported victories of the allies, each day witnesses an easing up of conditions In the financial maikets, with buyers show leg a more noticeable desire to get Into the trading. Thero Is a broader dis position to buy stocks. This Is apparent In the Increasing number of dally sales In the market here and In New York. Securities that last week could find no takers because of an Indifferent demand, are now being bid higher. Quotations maintain a stability which is surprising to Investment brokers, and the situation, on the nhole. Is considered In general gopd I'lape. A meeting was held In Washington today between bankers and n special committee, appointed by tho Federal Ite imc Board, to report on the advisability ef forming a JUO.OOD.OOO gold pool to re lieve the foreign exchange situation. The general bMicf prevails that only a small mount of tills sum will be actually reeded, but tin fact that It Is proposed to make sin li a latgc mm available is Mpertrd to aid materially in the further reduction of foreign exchange rates.

DEMOCRATIC TARIFF CAUSES RESTRICTION OF PLANTS Manufacturers Say Shortage of Water in Canal Has Little Effect. Clark Rollins, superintendent of the Joseph 31. Adams Company, ono of tho largest manufacturers of woolens anel worsted yarns In this community, at ilain and Dupont streets, said today that, contrary to the general opinion that the leFtrlcted operations of the manufactur ing plants along tho Schuylkill canal were eluo to lack of water In the canal, lie attributed the closing of mills direct ly to the reactionary elfcct of tho free traelo activities of the Democratic Con gress at Washington. "We arc now paying a higher price for rawvi polthan when the high protective wool ta'rTrt'oif tho Republican party was In effect," saldT"" 3Ir. Rollins. Tho firm of William Spink & Co., at River road, Jlanayunk, manufacture of shoddies and wool yarns, said that not lack of water In the canal, but un sound Democratic legislation was the real cause of their now operating only about half the time. While there has been a mllel shortage of water, worrl was received from manu facvjrers along tljo canal by Wlnfleld Giles, In charge of lock No. &5 today, that too much water was coming through tho canal, and requesting that It be shut off. Tho water in the cunal was 10 Inches below normal yesteirdny. Today It l reported at normal again. At Klatrock , dam the water is up to tho top of the 12-lnch strip at the top of the brtaat of the dam. In a few cases manufacturers have been put to inconvenience by reason of I shortage of water In the canal. Mont of them have either stoam or electric power and In many cases have both in addition to the supplemental water power. mm f ...:- ..-.. , v. ueiawart. ha. .. ....... ...-., . . - -.
