PARIS. Dec. 1i.-Accordlng to informa-
tion l have received from a large num-
ber of places where subscriptions to the
loan of victory are being taken in, gold
is coming in in large quantities. Many
Of those who held their gold despite the
appeal of the Minister of Finance in the
spring have decided to put n large part
of their reserves into the new loan.
1t is not possible vet to give exact
figures on the subscriptions in gold TO
the new loan, and the Finance Minister
Will make no statement until the sub
scriptions close. This payment In gold is
interesting and characteristic. as the APP
peal of the Finance Minister last spring,
which was addressed only to the patriot
ism Of the people and offered no special
advantages for turning tho gold over to
the Government, brought l,204,o00O0
francs G23i,OO0 GOW in gold into the Golfers
OF the Bank of France, and these gold
payments which went on for many weeks
at tho rate of lOO,00O.0O0 francs II week,
have eoualed 5O,OOO,O0O francs a week for
the last two weeks in which the loan has
been offered to the public
Last week gold paid into the bank out
side OF subscriptions to the loan amounted
to 60. 100000 francs. Needless to say. gold
subscribed to the loan will be turned over
by the Government to the bank to In
crease its stock of gold and possibly also
to help i'm settling the position of ex-
change. which already Is much amelio-
rated by foreign subscriptions to the loan.
Wine production which Is an extremely
important part of the total production OF
France. shows q very considerable deficit
for 1915. While production for 1914 was
nearly G0.0N0,OOO hectoitres, this years
production is not more than 22,OOo,0OO hec-
tolitres. This mcars a naturally sensible
increase in the price of wine, but this in
crease will only compensate producers In
Il small measure. In 1918, which was an
average year. expectation OF wines repre-
sented approximately s3S,4O0000. The deficit
in production and the rise in price this
year will lower greatly the export of wine,
which would have been so valuable
contribution toward the regulation of ex-
changes.
