today received information from an
emissary of Jack Johnson, world S
champion heavy weight pugilist, that
johnson wanted to return to the
United States.
Johnson, who left America while

his return.
Mr.. Clyne refused to say what the
government would do if Johnson re-
turned voluntarily or if he were
brought back. He could be tried on

BANKERS AccEPTANcEs."

With the PRONUNCIATION of the Fed
eral Reserve Boards rules concerning
bankers acceptances, American fin
ance enters upon new era. Our
banks have hitherto confined them
selves. of been legally confined, to
discount of notes and loans upon col
lateral London. on the contrary, has
added enormously to its wealth
through the system which the great
war dislocated, for the time being at
least. Against cargo of cotton from
New Orleans, or g argo of coffee
from Santos, bills at sixty, or ninety,
days were drawn upon some London
firm of undoubted credit and this
firm wrote its name across the bills
which thus became a quick asset
against debts due at the world s
clearing house In due course the
cargo was sold and the proceeds re
mitted to the accepting firm which
charged commission of $3.50 per
thousand for the use of its name. Ac-
cording to authoritative estimates,
such bills to the amount of 125,00O,'
coo pounds were in circulation when
the war came. Though all the prom
inent firms met their engagements,
the huge liquidation would have been
impossible without the aid OF the
British treasury and the Bank OF Eng.
land. Despite this record. the pres
tige of the London bankers is no
longer what it was and American
financiers are consequently called
upon to fill the void.

firstclass bill of exchange is among
the most desirable things which any
portfolio can contain In the case OF
stocks. bonds, and similar assets,
catastrophe may cause a fatal shrink.
age: in the case Of frst-class bills OF
exchange, both the drawer and the ac-
ceptor must be ruined before the

paid to the day and the Bank OF Eng

couped itself out of the Barring estate

cially, in 1914 money would have been

been both able and willing to stand

UNITED STATES HAS
PLENTY OF FOOD
HAS WHEAT ENOUGH TO SHIP
MILLION BUSHELS A DAY
UNTIL NEXT HARVEST.

Washington, Feb 17-Assuranca
that the United States is in no dan
ger of a shortage Of food despite
enormous exports to Europe, was
given tonight by the department of
agriculture in statement to the
public.
The surplus of wheat, above do
nestle needs on hand February t.
the statement said would permit the
expectation of nearly one million
bushels daily-about the recent av-
eraEe-until the new crop is avail
able. Moreover, there were larger
supplies of corn and other grains
meat animals. dairy products. po-
tatoes and fruit at the opening Of
1915 than Ter many years.
incidentally it was pointed out
that the available price of meat ami,
mails was per cent lower in Jan
uary than a year ago butter, per
cent potatoes 35 per cent: apples 81
per cent. and the price OF chickens
slightly lower
The 1914 wheat crop of the
United States was estimated to be
S91 100000 bushels, the statement
said. The estimated surplus car
ried over from the 1913 crop was
about 10000 coo bushels, making a
total available supply of 967O00,oo0
bushels AS the normal annual per
capita consumption of wheat in the
United States is about 5.3 bushels,
520,O00000 should meet our normal
domestic requirements for food, 90
100000 bushels are required annually
for seeding Therefore Gl0,000,0oo
bushels should supply the normal do.
nestle demand This would leave a
surplus of 357000000 bushels
"Of this surplus about 2l0,000,0o0
bushels were exported by January 80.
This left 1410oO00O bushels or 4o.-
100000 bushels more than our annual
export for the past five years for eS-
port between February / and the
appearance of the new crop or for
carrying over into the next crop

gent.ne crop is now coming on the
market 1t is estimated that from
that source there Will be available
l0o,000,000 bushels A surplus Of
100000 bushels or more from India
will be available in May and June
The increase in the fall sown wheat
acreage OF the United States in 1914
was ILL., per cent, or over four mill
lion acres
The statement added that acreage
OF winter wheat sowu i'm Denmark,
Italy, Switzerland. United Kingdom.
United States, India and Canada
shows an increase OF from TO 30 per
cent
But suppose a shortage Of wheat
should develop in the next three
months, what would be the situa-
tion?' the department asked There
is great surplus in other food crops
I in the United States, number Of
which can be used as substitutes.
The most important competing pro
duets are corn and potatoes. Nor
mally only about per cent Of the
corn crop is consumed as food. The
potato production in the United
States averages 3S bushels PEI
capita. This year the available sup
| ply is Al bushels.
1t would seem that the United
States is not likely to be threatened
with a shortage of foodstuffs."
