Tight Money Returns.

ed prices; resulting, as early as Sep
TENDER. in loan account at all the
country's national banks combined,
greater by $1,103, 900, 900 than a year
before. SO great a resultant drain on
New York bank resources Gas a con-
sequence both of this interior activity
and of the fact that Eastern money
markets raised the loans on which the
belligerent Governments drew to pay
the inland munitions manufacturers
that cash in the New York bank vaults,
despite the large gold importations, ac-
tually decreased $146, 100000 between
the end of January and the beginning
of November; the surplus falling from
$3.50, 100000 in January to $53,500,00O
in July. and then, after recovering to
$127 100000 again in August, dropping
to SAL 100000 on December 2, when it
compared with $179 100000 of year
before. AS a result of tbs relatively
weakened bank position, rise in rates
for demand loans on Wall street to 6
per cent. in July, the highest since No.
veriber, 1914, and on December to is
per cert. the highest rate since Mo-
vember, 1912; this happening despite
the fact that the New York Federal Re-
serve Bank, with $156,OOO,OO0 cash
reserves, had been asked to rediscount
less than $1,OOO,OOO paper for member

Strain on European Finance.

80 Further expansion of paper
money issues by banks OF the belliger-
emit Powers; the maximum increase OF
1916, as compared with the last week
of 1915, being $S46,OO0,OOO in France,
$4,000, 900 in Germany, S1,20O,0OO, 900
in Russian, and $164,000,00O in the
British Treasury notes-all of these is
sues however, except for Russia's be-
ing somewhat reduced in the last
months of the year Against these lab
ilities slower increase of gold holdings
than in 1915-the Bank of Germany
gaining barely $18,00O,O00 gold in
year; the Bank of France, gaining
about $1OO.OOO,OOO but exporting prac-
tically all of it; the Bank of England
gaining about $25,OOO,OOO gold, but
none being added to the reserve
against the currency notes, and the
Bank of Russia losing some $4,000, 900
gold up to it's latest report.

this arrangement of the Continental
currencies Though also in part be-
cause of purchases from America),

The year 1916 emphasized and con-
tinued the remarkable economic phe-
nomena of the proceeding twelvemonth.
The governing influences have been as
follows:
ID The war itself; the years mill
tary and naval history being summed
UP in Germany's six months of violent
ly aggressive operations against Yer
dun, which failed completely; in the
Allied attack on the German western
front, beginning in midsummer and
| achieving numerous minor gains of
territory, but slackening before the
real objective had been attained; in
Russia's campaign against Austria,
with retreat and decentralization of the
Austrian armies; in the inconclusive
sea-fight Off Jutland, the first really
great naval battle of the war; in Rum
ania's declaration of war, her ill-judged
expedition into Pennsylvania, her disas-
trous defeat and her loss of Bucharest
and great part of her kingdom; in the
futile controversy between the Allies
and Salonika and the Greek King, and
between the king and the insurgent
Venizelist party. Almost at the end of
the year, Germany's peace proposal.
ia Rapidly increasing cost of the
war; bringing the average total daily
expenditure, in the middle of 1916, TO
sos, 100000, as against 100000 ex-
actly year before; this increased cost
being due both to the larger area of &C
tive hostilities and to the prodigious
Use of artillery. AS consequence,
progressive increases in the war debts +;
which, in funded or unfunded form,
have probably doubled in the course of
1916, the increase for the four chief
belligerents. since the beginning OF
the war, being now close to $5O,OoO.-
100000.

PARIS. Aug. 29-CBy Mai)-France
is beginning to believe that money
grows on trees in the United States.
The army and navy has had several
pay days. Shiny American gold pieces
have rapidly found their way into BANK
tills in exchange for French coin of the
realm and the latter has been lavishly
distributed in typical American fashion.
The French poilu looks with envy on
his American following hter The poilu
receives four cents a day for being a
poilu. The British Tommy gets "a cents
a day. The American soldier gets about
20 cents day. And he spends it.
Paris newspapers never cease 20 won

One told how common ordinary stokers
Off one or Uncle Sans battleships came
to Paris and cashed big letters OF credit
at Paris banks. Another detailed how
an American Jackie bought dozen bot
ties of champagne just because 1t was

wonder when an American soldier or
sailor orders an expensive room. Thea

So marked has been the American

following "donts" and "wheneverse:
