IN r nn n in nrnii rnn mm id HtURLtM SPENDING MONEY Great Influx of Gold Pro motes Extravagance by Peoale o f 'America. 1 SECURITIES IN DEMAND Conservative Business Men Putting I'nnds Into Bond? and Vast Qnan tlty Is Being Absorbed. Trices Show Advance. CHICAGO. Oct. 22 (Special.) There Is a marked contrast between the ten dency of the American people and those of the Old World at this time in the matter of thrift, in America business has been so active and profits In many Instances bo large that the American people appear to be spending money In a reckless manner and to be Indulg ing In extravagances, which, a few years ago. would have spelled ruin. The whole world is spending money recklessly, but across the Atlantic the expenditures are confined chiefly to governmental agencies, while the peo ple are paying the bills. It is this supply of money that has forced In vestors to dig deep into their strong boxes and bring forth certificates of American investment-bearing dates of & quarter century or more ago. Aloney Growing? Cheaper. The tremendous Influx of gold Into this country, following the enormous Inpouring of foreign trade, together with the inability of the American banking and currency systen to adjust Itself to these abnormal conditions, has tended to make money cheap. Advices from Germany tell the old story of economy forced by necessity. Henry Baker, the special commercial attache of the American legation at Petrograd. gives the informtaion that little or no gold or silver is circulating in Russia. 1 There is a tendency abr ad. however, to conserve resources, whiie the tenden cy in America is to be more lavish In expenditures. Thera is an element of thrift among the more conservative business men. Many large cocporations have been buy. ing'bonds as the means of employing their accumulations of profit rather than allow these funds to remain in the banks drawing the interest of the daily balance. Securities Absorbed Rapidly. In the selection of bonds these cor poration managers are discriminating, but a vast amount of high-grade se curities is being absorbed in this coun try. This, together with the tendency of the individual investor to absorb bonds as they are offered, has not only enabled American investors to take the offerings coming from abroad, but has stimulated the price. Since the end of August there has been an advance In average bond prices cf nearly a point and a half, and it is reassuring to note that while thg ad vances have been distributed through out the entire list, the greatest gain ll : M been in rflllrnnH hnnria Tt- -nrlli K. recalled that there was a decline of ap proximately a point in the three months preceding September. Whether or not big foreign flotations were responsible tor tnir is not known, but now the price ttend has turned upward. CALIFORNIA IS SHAKEN SHOCKS SEVERE IX Oil, FIELDS i POWEIPLIXB DAMAGED.

With Practically No Trade, Develops Tremen dously Under Stimulus of Set ' tlement by Foreigners. WASHINGTON, Oct. 22. Seizure by French troops of an additional square mile of territory contiguous to the French concession In Tien-tsin, in de fiance of the Chinese Foreign Office, just reported in cable dispatches from. Pekln, brings to the front one of the most complicated and most romantic points of conflict between old China and the Western world. Officials here indicated today that as an international affair little importance was attached to France's action. Tien-tsin, back in the days when for eign ambassadors sought admission to China in vain, merely was a small, dirty town, with practically no trade. In 1860, after the British and French had forced their way over the Taku forts and humbled the Manchus at Pekin, the right of residence was granted to the subjects of the two countries. American Rights Abandoned. The United States, an Interested on looker, won the same right soon aft erward, and Germany entered into the arrangement in 1861. Separate sections for the four nationalities were set aside and small local centers of residence and trade grew up. In a few years, how ever, the American Government aban doned Its settlement, first, because it had no use for it, and no money to pay for It. and, second, because, under the conditions it had become known as the middle kingdom" between the German and British concessions, where all sorts of lawlessness prevailed. Tien-tsin grew fast, and construction of the railroad In 1897 made Tien-tsin the premier city of that whole vast sec tion. In 1900 came the boxer rebellion. when Tien-tsin became the base for the march of the nations on the capital. Landings In Foreign Handa. In 1894 Japan secured a settlement In the city, and after 1900, Russia, Bel gium, Italy and Austria obtained con cessions on the left bank of the river, making nine foreign nations holding and administering small slices of territory. As a result, all landings for sea going vessels in the biggest port of North China are in foreign hands. Nevertheless, the city has developed (runiimilnnKll- tl - fa nnnr a It. .In n mopolitan cross-section of Europs set down in the midst of China's teeming millions.
