I Money Committee Again Takes Hold The J200,000,000 money (.omtnlttcu of New York, which was generally believed to have retired permanently, wiis again heard from to good pur pose at the end of last week, when tho rates for call money In New York rose to 6 per cent. It is said that the Money Commlttcu lame promptly to tho res cue and put out $..'0,000,000 wit lithe result th it there was a A casing off almo-t immediately. A number of reasons were given for the upward movement lu call monej. One waa the withdrawal of largo amounts of Government funds on dcpoMt In the various banks and trust companies brought about tho maturity of tho 314 per cent Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness, which were sold In August last, and tho pajment of advances to several foieign Governments. Added to thla were tho usual heavy demands at the end of tho month which, this time. Included several largo dividend pavments bj lorporatlons nnd some rallroids Checking System Gets Setback in France There is a tribunal In Tails, Trance, where distinguished business men It aa a court. It deals principally with lommurclal usages Recently, It Is said, it has given u decision which Is likely to retard the Introduction of a bvstem for using bank ohr-cks rlmilar to tho plans with Which we aro so accustomed in the United States Any ono from this country who has had tin- experience In Turin or In any French city of Importance, of receiving In pavment any sum of moms sent to him through ono of the large financial concerns, such as tho Credit Lyonnais or the Credit Toned r, was no doubt amused at tho Hborlous process by which tho transaction was conducted, and wondered why tho simple Bjstem of bank checks was not Introduced mnnv jeais ago. Instead of receiving a check which could bo presented at a b-ink for payment, a messenger from the flnam lal Institution, dressed In the elaborate livery of the Institution, appears on thu scene, usually with u. thue-cocked and cockaded hat und carrying a largo leitlur portfolio under his arm, wear ing the air of importance of u chanicllor of tho exchequer, combined with the obsequious civility of nil public servants in Trance. On assuring himself that he Is addressing the proper pel sou, he opens his portfolio, counts out tho amount In bills and currency, takes a ucelpt, which ho himself witnesses as to signature, etc., and departs with all the politeness nnd upologies for Intru sion, so becoming to a Frenchman, but which would exasperuto tho uvcrago busy American business man to the point of saj ing, Cut It out' ' Are We Approaching Conscription of Labor? The latest demands by the lallroad emploves Is certain to bring nearer tho conscription of labor and Industry. ai prcaei... mu iiuuuu iranspurvaiiou is puruaiiy lieu up, largely oy a tack of labor. There is u shortage of coke rnd coal und steel, all through a shortage of labor. Tho probable results of the next draft will be to provide inen for industries which nro absolutely necessary to the effective prosecution great automobile factories, scattering the workmen, breaking up their homes, compelling the sacrifice of piopertv, disturbing business conditions and de Btroylng values. Tho desired result Is better accomplished by changing them to the manufacture of trucks, airplanes, und munitions. Furniture factories are being utilized in a similar fashion, nnd so in cveuy communltv thcie ate is tabllshments which can be converted to war business or made to serve indi rectly the present needs. When they stop making things tor pcaco trado the publlo will necessarily stop buvlng such things, und since emplovmcnt Will remain, full more money will bo free for the loans. "The Industries must not be crippled; they must bo changed over to war Work. Time is required to do this, and while no time should bo lost, nothing la accomplished by working with misdirected energy. When a railroad Is Crowded with business to a state of congestion it loses in efficiency. Not as many cars get over tho line as with traffic restricted to its capacity. This country can carry on tho war Indefinitely and put steadily increasing weight and efficiency into it if its operations are well ordered. But it cannot throw millions of men upon war work except as It takes them off of other work, And tt cannot pay billions Into the Treasury except as it curtails expendi tures In other directions. It is Just as Important to plan upon one side of the problem as the other, and nothing but confusion will result from going ahead without a careful co ordination of effort. U, S. Report Shows Oil in Storage Decreasing The bulletin Just compiled bv John V. Northrop, of the United States Geo logical Survey, of the Department of the Interior, reveals that during tho nine months anded September iO, 1917, the quantity of petroleum marketed In creased 14 per cent, and the quantity apparently consumed Increased 17 per cent. The net decrease in stocks during tho nine months ended September 80 1916, was 3,-20,403 barrels, or about 'J per cent of the reserve on hand January H, 1916. The net decrease In stocks during the nine months ended September 30, 1917, was 9,779,000 barrels, or about 6 per cent of the rcservo on band January 1, 1917, and about Z per cunt of the reservcr,on hand January 1 1916. In September, 1917, the aveiago dally draft on btocks was -11,050 barrels, and the average for the nine mouths is about 36,000 barrels.
