NORWAY HUNGARY, BUT RICH
Panic on Account of Scarcity Of
Food, but Nation Has Much
Gold.
WAR CAUSES GREAT PROSPERITY


Correspondence OF the Associated Press,)
/ CHRIsTIANIA. Norway, Sept. d.
Something very close TO panic is spread
ing over both Norway and Sweden, as
result of the alarming scarcity Of pro-
visions and the unprecedented prices
which are demanded for the simplest
kind of food. Norway Is now on the
point of following Sweden's lead in pro-
hibiting the export Of all provisions of
which there is a present shortage, in or
der that prices may be brought down
within reach of the poorer classes
The advance in prices in Norway is ap
proximately the same as in Sweden, but
in some cases it has been even more
marked. Herring, which is one of the
main article OF diet among the peasant
population. have risen from 2 cents to
AZ cents and cents apiece. and the pres
ent price Of oatmeal is $50 per cent higher
than il was before the war.
The meat shortage was temporarily re-
lleved some time ago. as it was in Sweden,
by the slaughter of a largo number of
cattle, which there was not enough grain
to feed. but prices have now advanced
again. reaching the highest level ever
known in Norway It is a curious para
dox. however. that as nation. Norways
economic and financial condition is better
than before the war. Norway's tremen-
dous exports, at the same time that they
have drained the country of it's necessary
provisions for home consumption and
carried masses OF the people TO the verge
of starvation, have brought tremen-
dous amount of money into the country.
enabled the country to pay for all its
imports, and left a large surplus to be
used for Industrial purposes and public
loans.
Gold Holdings Doubled.
The Bank OF Norway-the government
bank-had year ago $2O,OOOOOO of gold
In its vaults. Today 1t has $40, 100000. A
year ago 1t had issued paper money to
the extent Of s., 10000 beyond its depos-
its. while today with the same amount of
paper currency In circulation, 1t has a
reserve of 100000,
Deposits In private banks are at pres
ent $SO.OOoOOO greater than a year ago on
the same date. These banks mad to their
creit in foreign banks 100000 last year.
This year they have S10.O00OOO. Thde war
has thus brought Norway a flood tide OF
prosperity, and IL government action Is
taken to reduce present prices and pro-
vide the poor people with food. Norway
win have little TO lose and a great deal
to gain from long war.
Norway's friendship for England and
the fact that Il has had less to complain
OF IN the restriction OF imports than
Sweden, have made its trade question a
much less serious one than in its sister
country Its chief gr evance against
ENGLAND remains the English censorship
of its mail and cablegrams to America
and other neutral countries Norway
is still trying TO devise a more direct and
speedier communication with America.
