FOREIGN EXCHANGE
NEW YOHK, Sept. 7. The market for
foreign exchange in the first hour of busl
Cess today was dull und uninteresting.
There were no appreciable changes In rates
from? Wednesday's final figures.
Quotations were: Demand sterling, 4.76i,

A considerable scarcity of French ex
change Is noted and predictions are of a
sharp upward movement. An International
banking house, which Is regarded as a
prime authority on French exchange, Is not
selling and has advised other Interests to
hold their francs with a prospect of con
siderable profit later Of course, political
considerations have some bearing In this
matter.
The foreign exchange market nround
midday was dull, but In the main steady,
Jlthout quotable chango from the opening
figures.
In the early afternoon relchsmarks re-
"ted to 69 for checks nnd 69 M tor cables.

ALONG M0LDAVA; HUNGARIAN
DIET IN STORMY SESSION

Austrian troops continue to retire along
tho Moldava Blver, Jn the southeastern part
of Bukowlna, beforo the Rumanians, ac
cording to telegrams from Austro-Hun-garian
headquarters,
LONDON, Sept. 7. According to a Buda
pest telegram, says tho Kcuter corre
spondent at Amsterdam, Tuesday's session
of the Hungarian Diet was extremely
stormy. When Premier Tlszn entered tho

remained quiet.
When order was restored Premier Tlsza,
who was Interrupted repeatedly, said that
the attitude of the Rumanians was without
precedent In the history of the world and
that he hoped measures which had been
taken would bear fruit booh.
Count Julius Andrassy, former Premier,
agreed that tho entire energy of the nation
should be exerted In the fight, which was
In self-defense, but ho criticized the manner
In whlclw the Government carried on Its
business and Its lack of foresight. Tha
position of the country, tho. ex-Premier said,
was serious, but not critical, and while ha
had confidence In the outcome, there must
be a new leadership.
IIALICZ UNDER HEAVY FIRE
FROM RUSSIAN ARTILLERY;
CITY ABLAZE FROM SHELLS
PI3TROGRAD, Sept. 7. Russian nrtlllery
Is bombarding the Oallclan city of Hallcz,
69 miles southeast of Lemberg and the
keystone of ttje Austro-Oerman defenses of
the Gallclan capital from the south. An
official statement from tha War Office to
day announced that Hallcz Is In flames.
Russian armies are closing In on tha
formidable fortifications of the city from
both north and south of the Dniester River,
In the last few days the Austro-Oerman
center, fighting desperately, has boon pushed
back on thi Hallcz north of the Dniester,
tha Russians taking large numbers of prls.
oners. Today's ofdrlal statement, however,
revealed for the first time that the Czar's
troops were within gun. range of Hallcz.
Russian troops havo also forced a cross
ing of the Dvlna River north of Drlnsk,
capturlnc German trenches on the western
bank. This Information, which was con
tained In' today's offloial communication of
tha War OMce, Indicates a renewal of
fighting on the northern, end of tha eastern
front,

wns genernlly known for some weeks thnt

The loan of Hallcz for, apparently, the
Russians are likely to capture It In a
comparatively short time will be the first

probably of, tho whole Gallclan fortified

Przemysl to Jnroslav. While tho San lino
form tho point of support for tho Austro
German left wing, Hallcz, which has been
strongly fortified lately, supports tho right
wing. Onco Ilnllcz Is captured by the
Russians, the whole barrier formed by tho
Dniester River must necessarily crumble

Hallcz "rightly has been called "the key."

Foreign Ofllce have not yet had tlmo to con
sider the general rovenuo bill as affecting
the various blockade nctlvltles, but news
of tho possugo of tho bill by the United
States Senate excited cont!dcruble In
terest. A Foreign Office ofllclal said the depart
ment fully recognized the Importance of the
legislation. It Is expected one result of the
action of Congress will bo to hasten a reply
to the Washington protest against the Brit
ish blacklist.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7. Tho attitude of
tho Fntento allies toward American trade
retaliation legislation will bo determined by
the Grand Trade Council of tho 10 bel
ligerent governments nt Paris. Entente
diplomats hero said no action would
bo taken until authority had been received
from the council, and In the meantime all
Information on tho subject obtalnnblq was
being forwarded to Paris.
It Is thought probable that no formal
nctlon will bo taken unless the President
actually puts Into force the discretionary
powers of refusing clearanco papers to ships
discriminating ngalnst American goods,
withholding tho use of telegraph and cable
lines from subjects of discriminating gov
ernments nnd denying Import privileges to
countries which restrict American trade.

QUITE RECENTLY," remarked The Business
Builder, "I talked to a storekeeper who
. was not using Electricity. He had made
up his mind that Electricity was not necessary.
As we happened to be near one of the large
department stores I persuaded him to walk in
and have a look around.
"I thowed him that Electricity wa$ being ued in countleM ways
in this big, modern establishment. I asked him to explain to me
why the progressive, far-sighted business men who owned depart
ment (tores, and why the men who owned all of the prominent
shops used the 'electric method' as opposed to the method of
ten or fifteen years ago. He had no answer.
"Finally I said to him: 'Don't you think, after all, it is a question
of service to the public?' The public demands Electricity, it
insists upon cheerful surroundings, and a light, bright, spick and
span equipment. The public shops in stores which at least have
the appearance or prosperity.
"These are but a few of the reasons, and underlying thm is the
fact that employes work better in such surroundings, sell more
successfully, do their work more efficiently,"
With the new low rates, Electricity i$
