During June, the index figure fell from 128 to 119, a decline of nine points. The bank rate has been sudden ly reduced to 6 per cent. This is believed to be due to action of .the Federal. Reserve Bank of New York which reduced its discount rate to 6 per cent. The policies of the Bank of England and the Federal Reserve Bank have run on parallel lines for some time. The British government ? will give a grant of $5,000,000 to fos ter cotton growing in the British Empire.. This will replace the former promise of $250,000 a year for Jive years. The grant will .come out of the profit made in ^marketing Egyptian cotton during the war. the commencing date for the new Anti-Dumping Bill.

Boxing Arena Used as Chapel* "New York, July 25.?A boxine; arena in Seaside, Rockaway, Long Island, is serving as a place of w?'rsTiip for thousands of Caih olic summer vacationists. The Rev. Joseph B. Brady, pas tor of the parish, obtained per mission to use the arena when he learned the Catholics in the sum mer colony numbered more than 15,000. The little church of St. Camillus could not seat so many even though Seven masses were held each Sunday, i And now, after the fistic en counters of the week days, the [ ropes are taken from the ring and Jan altar placed in the middle of i the resined canvas. The seating capacity of the arena is 4,000. . St. Camillus'. church annex, as the arena how is called, affords a picturesque scene on Sundays. Its walls, pastered with fight pos ters and sport pictures are in sharp contrast to the center of the ring, where Father Brady, in his ecclesiastic rob(es, offers the mass.

July 23.?The naval es timate calling for the expenditure of 500.000,000 ven (nominally $250,C00,000) for the fiscal year 1922-23 is smaller than it would have been if Admiral Baron Kato. Minister of Marine, had not in sisted upon economy in the cost of maintenance, says the Nichi Nicht This estimate is about equal to the naval appropriations made for the current year. It is hoped, by cutting down the cost of the navy's ordinary ex penses, to leave available about 275,o00,000.,;-,yen for ^continuing the pragram'!bf constructing; eight ' battleships ", and' eight crtrtsers. , This would he e.qjiui.:o\.thevW^4vt;; ?

' I Taie f?JI$flrihg principles of econ omy have'ben., decided .upon, ac: cording to the Niehl Nichi. . First, there shall be economy in personnel. There are too many high ranking officers in the Jap anese navy compared wi:h the na vies of other powers. Great Brit ain has 12 admirals and 22 vice admirals, while Japan has 15 ad mirals and 26 vice-admirals. Brit ain has 126.00U men in service and Japan 80,000. Maintenance costs are to be cut by reducing the number and size of the standing squadrons. Only one such squadron will be left. The Third Squadron will be re ?duced in size and pla;:ed on special duties. The remaining vessels are to be anchored as the fourth fleet, in reserve. The number of men on such vessels will he drastically reduced. Fuel consumption will be cut to the lowest possible fig ure. The system of allowing men in service to return home before their time of service has expired will be greatly extended. In this wav a considerable amount of food and clothing can be saved. Obsolete vessels will he disposed of. By exercising economy along these lines, the navy expects to cut down the ordinary expendi tures to 150.000,000 yen. This would leave a margin for special expenses. News Xotcs From Mayesville. Mayesville won an easy vistory over Florence here this afternoon by score of S to 2. Bishopville plays here on Wednesday.

Leverkursen, Germany, July 25. ?-German dyestuff manufacturers' total production this year will not exceed 60,000 tons, which will make-it impossible to "flood" the markets of fcngland or America, or even compete successfully against American manufacturers, asserts Dr. Carl Dulsberg, head of Germany's greatest dye manufac turing organization. "We have recently increased our capital to 1.762.MOO.000 marks, which, is 719.00 0.0 ??0 more than our previous capita" 1. but this was ttte iUfevitable .consequence of the.

This position is made worse by the hindrances placed in our way in many foreign countries." Dr. Duisherg characterized a re ported demand in some American quarters for the closing of German dyeworks because "they might be ' used for the manufacture of ex plosives and poison gas in an other war." was "utterly sense less, since Germany has been de prived of the means of employing poison gases for war purposes, even if she wanted to." He added that "no sane man in Germany thinks of fresh wars." "If. is difficult to understand American anxiety," he continued, 'for the American industry is in comparably stronger than outs."
