MINIATURE CAPITALISTS.
MASSES WITH A STAKE IN THE COUNTRY.
For the first time in history, writes Mr. G. A. Greenwood in the Duly Express, the workers have become a real factor in the investing world. Those who earned high wages during the war have bought a prodigious Dumber of War Savings Certifi- cates and have taken up millions of pounds in War Bond denomin. ations of £50 and £100.
Thousands of other miniature capitalists have blossomed out during the past four or five years. They are to be found in centres where work has been constant and wages high. In such ports' as Canliff. Swansea. Hull, Liver pool. Newcastle, and Glasgow, ship repairers, coal trimmers, end other dock workers have bought shipping shares, and have in scores of cases had their capital returned four or five or six times over.
A stockbroker assures me that of the hundreds of new companies now being formed, a very large proportion of the capital is being subscribed by small investors from working-class districts suns varying from £100 to £500.
In the midlands, in Sheffield, and in Barrow a very great num- ber of these men and women who worked in munition factories have got shares in companies like John Brown & Co., Vickers. and Kynochs.

DYESTUFFS STANDARDS FOR CHINA.
Practical dye men and Hong- kong importers of dyes report (says the Board of Trade Journal) that the chief factor in the future of the sale of dyes in China is the standardisation of colour shades. One of the chief elements of the success of German dyes in this field was that certain shades. the Chinese popular among
upon. The could be relied matter of colour is very im purtant among the Chinese, aside from the comparative beauty. Mapy
of the colours have cere- special significance of a monial sort as well as being re- garded more or less lucky or un- lucky. There are large interests in Chins, especially in Amor, Swatow, Chuchow, and various South China coast cities, where, imported shirtings and sheetings are dyed for sale to the Chinese. The basis of this entire business is the quality of colour in the cloths thus handled. which de- pends on the uniformity of colour and the quality of the dyes.
