THRIVING AGAIN

Financial Experts Who Find Se
curities Down and Business
Growing Better
[By Associated Press.]
NEW YORK, Aug. 29.—Conditions
last week, both In trado and in the
market for securities, paralleled those
of the week before. The expansion in
industrial enterprises went steadily
forward, while the stock market was
the scene of disorder with lower av
erage of prices. There is still no re
lation between the movements of
stocks and the state of trade, nor does
the fact that prices of the one have
fallen bo sharply mean that less favor
able conditions have appeared In the
business world.
Mr. Harrlman Is the pivot around
which stocks have swung. When he
announced his intention to return from
abroad there was a quick break in
the securities associated with his name.
This had the effect of spreading the
selling contagion to almost every ac
tive stock.
All rallied to the end of the week,
and on the day Mr. Harrlman arrived
some of them were fully half way back
to the top. Later the air castles that
had been built up on the most flimsy
foundation tumbled.
Eases Money Rates
Tho result if that Union Pacific- has
declined almost US points for the com
mon and 15 points for the preferred,
while Southern Pacific and New York
Central have fallen from 10 to 14 points,
and losses of 4 to 10 points are record
ed In many related issues.
As a result of the liquidations of
stocks, money rates have eased per
ceptibly with long time offers lower
by hi per cent from recent quotations.
Bank clearings, however, are more
than 3 per cent over those of last year.
Current railroad earnings show a gain
of more than 9 per cent, and the move
ment of general merchandise and of
materials entering into building con
struction ranges all the way from 15
to 25 per cent above last year.
The crop situation is still clouded by
continued drought in the corn belt.
Cotton conditions have gained in some
sections and gone back in others.
Spring wheat is all gathered and is
being rushed to market.
A congestion of cars, ns well as car
shortage, Is likely to be the result Of
the cudden demand for equipment at
leading grain enters. Official iigures
report a decrease of almost 48,000 idle
cars, reducing the total to less than
160,000.
WOMAN'S RESTORATION
LEAGUE IS ACTIVE
Workers In India Make Report of Sat
isfactory Progress in Interesting
Native H ndus in Cause
Eight years ago Mlsa J. M. Holmes
and Mrs. C. P. Wallace of Los Angeled
■went to India to investigate the status
of womanhood. They found the con
ditions of child marriage so deplorable
that on their return Mrs. Wallace
threw herself heart and soul into the
work of arousing the women of Amer
ica to an interest in their little brown
sisters across the sea. As a result, the
Woman's Restoration league of Los
Angeles was organized, and with this
as a center auxiliary societies were
formed In many of the leading cen
ters of the country.
Last fall Mrs. Wallace and Miss Car
rie Tennant of Los Angeles, both or
ganizers of the league, made a general
tour through California and the east.
As a result of their work some forty
or more circles were organized, each
member pledged to $1 a year for flvo
years in support of the work contem
plated in India. From over the waters
had come so urgently the "Macedonian
cry, come over and help us," that the
league felt that the time was ripe for
its organizers to go.
After a brief ."top in London, Paris
and Geneva, whore they left groups
of women aroused to assist the cause,
these two brave women galled for Cal
cutta, where they have been hard at
■work for several months. Their re
ports are very encouraging to their
supporters in Los Angeles.
Many of the leading men of Calcutta
and elsewhere are working with deter
mination to abolish child mairiage and
to raise the marriage age to 16 years.
Mr. Morendro Nath Sen, editor of the
Calcutta Indian Mirror, is doing every
thing in his power through his newr
paper to advance the league's work,
lie Is making continual appeals to his
countrymen to assist in bettering th* 1
conditions of womanhood and child
hood if they would ] remote the prog
ress 01' India.
In the Mirror of April 21, shortly
alter the arrival of the organizers of
the league, Mr. Sen says: "We desire
to accord a hearty welcome to the tw«,
noble-hearted ladies who have arrived
in Calcutta. We regard the movement
■with which they are associated as ono
that lias dedicated itself to the nobles:
tervice of India. Those who plead for
Indian womanhood are to be reckoned
among our greatest benefactor*." F'.r
ther on In the article he says: "Pic
ture the condition of a Hindu girl.
Her advent into the home is, first the
cause of much anguish and weeping,
because she cannot be a bread winner
in the family, and, secondly, because
of the difficulty of getting her settled

11 years old there comes the Inevitable
problem of matrimony. At tile age of

puny and sickly. Can we expect a
healthy, vigorous nation under these
circumstances?"
The interest of the Hindus is a
hopeful i ign of the consummation of
the league's work in the near future.
The organizers are full of enthusiasm
and courage. They say they muet,
however, continue to receive from
America the financial aid and Influence
