New York the Worlds Treasury.

Not less than $3.50 900. o00-possibly
as much as s25o.00o, 00Q-in tangible
wealth has been transferred to the
United States by European owners
since war began to threaten in June
Of last year, according to member
Of one OF the leading international
it is impossible 10 estimate with any
accuracy the extent OF such funds,
the banker in question based his
opinion upon the amount that has
been handled by his own firm and by
his knowledge Of the extent Of for
eign business handled by other lead
ing houses in the same line.
This food Of incoming wealth be-
gan 10 make its way to this side Of
the Atlantic before the actual out
break Of hostilities, and has continued
in varying volume ever since. Some
OF il is in the form Of gold, more Of it
is in standard securities or in Ameri-
can currency received from the sale
Of such securities. Apparently the
owners, who comprise representatives
Of practically every old-world coun-
try, feel that under present conditions
America is the safest place for valu-
ables Of this description. There has
been gossip to the effect that several
European rulers and members Of the
royal families have deposited large
amounts here against the possibility
Of unpleasant results arising from the
war. Such stories cannot be con-
frmed. but it is known that many
very wealthy Europeans now have a
part Of their fortunes deposited in
this country.
While the greater part of the enor-
nous aggregate Of wealth which has
sought the United States for safe
keeping is likely to be withdrawn at
the conclusion of peace, it is the
opinion Of most weu-informed bank
ers that a goodly proportion Of it will
remain here and will seek American
investment. This movement Of
stored-up capital to this country,
added TO the enormous purchases Of
American goods for European ac-
count and the resale Of American Sc
curities formerly owned in Europe, is
regarded as an influential factor in
Fastening the transformation Of the
United States from a debtor to n
creditor nation, and in giving New
York position of far greater i'm
portance than ever before in the field
Of international finance

Give drops to the capsule), take one
capsule after each meal and one before
