SHORTAGE OF BEANS.

NEW YORK, Dec. II. = White
beans, on account of the European
war, are becoming scarcer. Austria
is one of the biggest exporters Of
this food product to the United
States The stock of beans in
bonded warehouses in New York
has been sadly depleted. The home
grown supply is said to be OF fair
proportions, and it is hoped the sup
ply will prove sufficient.

NEW YORK. Dec. 13.-Ambitious

financial center for the world, seem
to be Undertaking.. for negotiations

or less restricted from loaning money
to the nations now at war 1t Is
believed that all the neutral powers
Of the world will look to this city
for loans, at least pending the end
ing of the war.
The lending of money to foreign
nations will not impair the circu-
lation of money in the United
States, 1t is asserted, for there is
an abundance OF coin here that can
be let out. 1t is also pointed out
that much Of the money that is sent
abroad will be returned to this
country to pay for supplies that
will be purchased here.
In the past. London has been the
financial center of the world, and
much money from that city has
come to the United States for in
vestment. The war, however. Is
certain to change this it is declared.
and it will be many years after
hostilities have ceased before there
will be surplus money in London
to send abroad for investment.

RESERVE BANKS
ESCAPE TAXATION

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Dec. "a
Official orders have been issued to
the effect that the newly establish
ed reserve banks of the United
States will be exempt from paying
war taxes. This is partially due to
the fact that most Of the funds in
the banks belong to the United
States. and partially to the addition
al fact that the banks are not to be
operated for revenue, but for the
public good under government super
vision.
