Dollar Exchanges FoOthold.

Within a short time the American
Smelling and Refining Company, which
has considerably increased its business
il Chill since the war began, will open
a financial agency in Valparaiso. The
agencies of the Braden and Chile Cop
per companies in that city will begin
operations in few days. This is largely
the result of the successful campaign
made by Leopold Frederick, director Of
the frst-named company and treasurer
Of the other two, TO establish dollar
exchange in Chill. Mr.. Frederick said
yesterday that during the last four
months 70 per cent Of the business Of
the three companies, amounting to
many millions, had been financed with
eO-day sight bills on New York, and
the remainder would have been taken
care of in the same way had II not been
for contracts calling for payment in 90
day bills on London. Not only has
dollar exchange been definitely estab-
liEhed in Chill, but il Is soon to have q
place In Bolivia. This Is in connection
with the American Smelling and Re-
fning Company's plan TO go into the
refining Of Bolivian tin.

Gold Imports May Cease.

There Is possibility that gold i'm
ports TO this country may cease before
many weeks have passed. 1t is not
g strong possibility. but considering
that demand bills on London have now
risen TO within or cents in the
pound sterling of the calculated gold
point il has to be reckoned with. Most
OF the bankers here would not be dis
appointed TO have a cessation Of the
movement, if only it did not possess so
much significance. There is gold
enough in the country-too much, II
anything. Every additional dollar of
II that comes in makes it all the more
difficult for the banks and capitalists
generally 10 get fair return on their
funds and at the same time tends 20
produce that imitation which is so just
ly dreaded, because deposited with the
banks it makes a foundation for any
whore from four to five times its
amount in credit.

No Rush TO Sell.

Money laid by for rainy day is
rarely spent when that rainy day comes.
Only dire necessity can trench upon 1t.
In great Britain there must be thou
sands of investors who have kept their
ericans"--securities from country
where there is no war but booming
prosperity, instead-for the traditional
rainy day From this side Of the
Atlantic it must seem as though most
of Britain's days were of the descrip-
ton that the heavens blessed New York
with yesterday. Yet there is eminent
authority for 1t that the British people
are spending more on luxuries now
than they did before the war. That is
10 say. whatever griefs others must
bear, the investing class has felt moth
ing Of the approach OF restitution.
There is little compulsion upon them to
sell their Americans" then, but the
appeal of patriotism. And there must
be any number Of them who are in no
wise convinced that patriotism properly
calls for that kind of sacrifice.

Reserve Bank Credit Rules.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New
York. in view Of its appointment rs a
depositary and fiscal agent Of the Unit
cd States yesterday announced to mem.
her banks of this district, outside OF
greater New York, that after January l
they may include in their remittances
for immediate credit 1t par all govern
ment warrants and checks drawn on the
Treasurer of the United States. Mem
Der banks in tbs city for the present
will adhere TO the practice of collecting
these items through the assistant treas
urer in New York.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-12-30

The gain In the month OF November
alone has been enough to wipe that
out, to speak nothing Of the gain in
the other four months of the fiscal
year already reported. Whether st.
Paul will be able in the course of 1915
10 get back 10 the per cent II paid
for eight consecutive years prior 70
1912 there is no telling. The probabili-
~ is considered TO be against it. But
that II will do something better than
pay only per cent TO its stockholders
is considered more than likely. II
would not surprise many if az the
meeting on January % the directors
decided TO restore the 8 per cent rate
o. the past three years and declared
an extra dividend Of II Of per cent
to make up the full per cent for
1915.
