GOLD POOLS TASK
IS ABOUT ENDED
No New Action Taken to Provide
for Possible Heavy Liquida-
ton of Stocks.

Wall Street was full yesterday OF ru-
mors and reports concerning the inter
national money market and the en-
beavers Of European nations to borrow
money or arrange credits here. In
quiry developed that most Of them were
without good foundation.
A statement that gained wide cur
rency had the Gold Fund Committee
concluding an arrangement with the
Bank OF England and the Bank Of
France whereby it might obtain i'm
mediate credit from them 10 the
amount of S75,000,000, if such credit
were needed, because of heavy Euro
pean liquidation of securities here.
The implication was that a special pre-
caution had been taken in anticipation
of the opening of the Stock Exchange
TO stock trading on Saturday. What is
the fact, according to a member of the
committee, is that when the pool was
/ first organized, and shortly after the
initial shipment of gold 20 Ottawa, the
request was made OF the Bank of Eng
land that the committee be permitted
I TO sell exchange thereafter simultane-
ously with the shipment of gold 10
cover it. Tie committee merely wished
to avoid having balances abroad idle
for an indefinite period.
Altogether the Gold Fund Committee
has sold practically all the exchange il
created by the sale of $4,000, 900 gold
at Ottawa. II collected S27,000,000 on
its first call for a % per cent install
ment of the banks subscriptions and
has returned 80 per cent Of that
amount TO the subscribers. At present
il holds about S17,000,000 in gold, which
il can send TO Ottawa at any time II
sees fit. but probably will never have
to send; a small balance in London,
and the remaining proceeds Of Its
actual sales of exchange. 1t is the
general belief of bankers that the COM
mittee's work is finished, unless some
extraordinary emergency arises.
Mark exchange touched SO yester-
day, even though il as rumored that
German bankers had arranged large
credit here. Bankers said that the
story was hardly plausible. The rise
in marks was ascribed TO narrow mar
ket, to moderate sales Of securities
here for German account, TO the i'm
provement in Germany's export bust
ness and to loans made 10 German
bankers by local banking houses, OPP
Grating through Switzerland.
IL was said in important banking
quarters yesterday that loan TO one
OF the larger South ..merican nations.
presumably the Argentine, was under
consideration, but that as yet there
were no definite negotiations.

Andes, It occasionally measures
twelve feet in height. but as elevation
increases the bush degenerates into
a small shrub. The branches are
straight and the leaves are green,
thin, Opaque, oval and tapering at
the ends The pretty little flowers
form in clusters on short stems. The
Towering season Is followed by the
production OF small red berries When
grown on the coca plantations. or
cocales, the seeds are sown In De
cemher and January on small plots
OF land sheltered from the sun. When
the plant reaches a height of two
feet il Is transplanted to larger
spa ces, and 1t becomes productive IN
about two years and remains so for
forty years or even longer. Tho leaves
are gathered by FUCKERS who are
skilled in their work. Both hands are
used and usually only the hest leaves
are gathered, These are carried 10
sheds and spread upon stone beds
or hard ground to dry The drying
process Is completed in about ten
hours and the leaves are then placed
into bales and are ready for ship
ment. In pound packages the best
leaves are worth from thirtyhve to
forty cents at the seaport. In 1912
Bolivia exported 5000, 900 worth of
coca leaves while Peru, where CO.
caine itself is manufactured. exports
annually about $4,000 OF that prod
uct.
