THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1971 One Week's Liberty Loan Drive In Philippines Is Successful

li"iTOel15''IK

MANILA, Aug. 2. (Correspondence of The, Associated Press.) While 191 saw a gain in the increase in circulation of money in the Philippine Islands which amounted to 15,000,000 pesos, the first six months of this year will exceed that record increase by 3,(100,000 pesos. The Circulation since January 1 has amounted to 85,000,000 pesos. These figures, say local economists, reflect directly the highly favorable trade conditions that have been maintained for more than two years in the Philippine Islands. The wealth of the islands is increasing rapidly. In Manila alone, the assessed value of taxable property today, Is over 103,000,000 pesos, which is more than 3,000,000 pesos, above 1916. Recent agricultural development in the provinces, the extent of which it is impossible to calculate exactly, makes it certain that the increases in property values in other parts of the islands have far exceeded Manila's record. The success that attended the single week's campaign for subscriptions to the Liberty Loan testified to the presence of much available money in Manila. Banks and other agencies which have all the funds which they .can readily make use of are another testimonial to the prosperity of the islands. There is but one drawback to the general outlook prices for, sugar and copra in the United States are such as to make it unprofitable to pay the current trans-Pacific freight rates. The chief concern is felt as to sugar. There are upwards of 100,000 tons of low grade sugar from the crop harvested last fall in the sugar provinces, lying in warehouses. A large part of the sugar has heretofore gone to China and Japan, but conditions in China have practically closed the market there An unusually large crop of Fornictau sugar has reduced the Japanese demand for the Philippine product to a minimum. Low, grade, sugar cannot command good prices in the American markets, when the present rate on sugar to the Pacific coast, which is $35 a ton, makes its shipment to the United States a losing proposition. However, it had been thought that the dispatch of the commandeered German vessels to the United States by the Philippine

Arson Hinted In Eaton Fires

EATON, O., Aug. 2. Investigation by state officials of two fires which occurred here about 3 o'clock this morning will be asked by officers of the fire department. What is said to be plain evidence of arson has been found. The fires involved the property of Mrs. Mae Lonknecker, formerly of this city, but now of Richmond, Ind.' One completely destroyed the big barn in the rear of the residence, which is located on West Chicago street. The other threatened the house. Investigation In the unoccupied house by Fire Chief Shaver and Marshal Armstrong revealed that fires had been started in three separate places. In a pantry downstairs coal oil had been poured upon the floor and improvised torches lighted. The same work had been started in two closets upstairs, but the doors to each had been closed so tightly the fires were slow. Only the timely discovery, however, prevented their outbreak. . The torches used were made by the use of empty shotgun shells, in which had been placed candles. The property has been unoccupied several weeks.'

STRIKERS ACCEPT OFFER

LEADVILLE, Colo., Aug. 2. The strike of metal miners in the Leadville district, which began ten days ago, was called off early today at a mass meeting of the striking miners, both union and non-union. The men voted to accept the offer of the operators of a t age increase of approximately 50c a day. The strikers had asked for an increase of one dollar a day. .

government would offer enough available cargo space to transport the sugar. The government has assured the sugar planters that their space needs would be met Nevertheless the government, in order not to compete with commercial liners, is making its rates conform as much as possible to commercial rates. Hence the rate on sugar must be lowered or the. sugar men must be prepared to pocket a considerable loss by a sale, probably to Japan, in order to clear their warehouses to make room for the new crop which will begin to come in In November. The situation, as regards copra is much the same, though there are not such enormous stocks of copra as of sugar, and the copra dealers can hold their crop for better prices.
