Explanations Given Parlia
ment by McKenna Dis
pel Dissatisfaction
FEW MISTAKES MADE
Dy FKANCIS W. HIRST
gpeclol CabU Is IM Kvtntno Ltdetr.
LONDON, Oet. 21. lttglnald McKenna's
speech Thursday night shows his confidence
In. the ability of Great Ilrltaln to finance
the war, and complimented the Parliament
on Its readiness to vote for war taxation.
Ills explanation that tho success of the
six per cent bonds and their acceptability
abroad had Justified the Issue at thai rate
had the effect of dispelling what dissatis
faction existed.
The Treasury has made comparatively
few technical mistakes. Its failure has been
as a department for the control of finances,
hut tha dates frorn. pre-war days.
A general weakening of stock exchange
prices Is foreseen by your correspondent,
who regnrds flic bond Irsue ns nn occasion
rnther than a cause. Prlcelnsklng la dim
cult In somo sections and often bargains
are required for, negotiation, Jobbers can
not depend on tnn banklnc support.
Common Shiro will publish an Inter
view with n leading metallurgist, warning
tho city that It will lovo Ke ponltlon ns the
center of mining fjnnnce If the war Income
Inx continue to be applied to mining
pioflts which, of course. Include, return
capital to the Investor. Apparently some
2500 mining ventures have had their chief
offices In lndon.
Amerlcnni nrrlvlng hero nil say that the
presidential election Is on absolutely opn
eent Tho altitude of the two candidate
tortard tho ai Is puwllnir tho nngllah
newspapers, which do not know which to
ubck. une Mexicnn Interests, of course,
favor Mr. Ilurlies.
Tho boot trade here Is fully occdpled with
war orders. Tho cotton hosiery manu
facturers nro row protected from American
Invasion by the prohibition of Imports. Tho
Chemical nnl t:nplnte tradtfi nro complain
ing acnlriHt the export regulations.
Lead products havo fallen twenty per
cent from tlHr recent record prices. The
prices of vegetable oils nnd edible fats are
rising. Cotton oil Is In great demand.
American small tools aro be'comlpn com
mon, but are considered lean durable than
those made nt home. Tho demand for
bicycles In China nnd Japan Is growing.
