Slams Loss of Rice Heavy
Official Reports Place Dam
age by Floods at 80 Per Cent

Slams prospects for an average rice
crop for the season 1918 were oujte
fair up to about the middle of October
when, according to consular advices. ey-
cesslvc ranfalls in the northern mart
of the country caused extensive flood
ing of the lowlying plains of Southern
Siam, resulting in most serious dam
age to the crop in general and in MANY
places to the destruction of the grow
ing paddy plants. In the official report
for the last week in October it is esti-
mated that the loss caused bv the flood
amounts to about 80 per cent; also it
appears that the remainder of the crop
IS interior to that Of last season
herefore. the yield may be expected to
average about so per cent less than last
year in the affected districts.
The area that suffered most severely
by the inundation was the "Mondbol
Channai," the most important of Slams
producing districts, in which an
proNlmately 3,140,000 acres were under
rice cultivation.

Austrian Bank Issues
First War Statement
Note Circulation in 1917 Was
$3,66S,OOO,OOO, With Gold
Reserve Only 1.6 Per Cent

ZURICH, Feb. 9.-After an interval
of nearly three and one-half years
the Austro- Hungarian Bank has pub
lishcd its returns. These show a note
circulation at the end of 1913 Of 2,49O,-
100000 crowns (Sd9S. 900 OOO). In 1914
the amount was 5000, 100000, in 1915
100000 900, in 1916 1O.890,OO0, 900. in
1917 1S,4A0,000,000 ($3,668 900 OOO) .
The average monthly increase in 1915
WAS 10000, 900, which rose to GAG, O,OO0,-
600 in 1917
Meanwhile the gold reserve to cover
this circulation steadily has decreased
at rate which threatens its total ex-
tinction. In 1914 it was 229 per cent
Of the note circulation, in 1915 9.4, in
1916 IS aud tn 1917 only 1.6 per cent.
As the gold reserve has decreased
the loans of the bank to the Austrian
and Hungarian governments have in
creased enormously. In 1915 they
amounted to 625,000 900. or Z per cent
of the note circulation. In 1916 they
amounted to 5,299 100000 crowns, or
1856 per cent of the note circulation.
At the end OF 1917 they totalled 49,
$50 100000, or 76l per cent.
Attempts are now being made to re-
duce the note circulation by issuing
interest bearing bonds by the Austro-
Hungarian Bank
