Imports of Wool From
South America Increase

The present enormous demand for
wool for army uniforms is absorbing
the supplies of the three great primary
markets Europe, Australasia, and
South America. With Great Britain in
control of English and Australasan
wool, the attention of manufacturers
in the United States is centred on
South American sources. says report
issued from the local Office of the Bu-
reau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce. In the years just preceding the
European war the average yearly i'm
ports of clothing wool from South
America were about 25.O00,00O pounds,
from Europe So,000.O00 pounds, and
from Australasia 100000 pounds
Beginning with 1914 the imports of
wool from all sources greatly increased,
tho gain in wool imports from South
America being unprecedented. In 1914
the imports Of clothing wool from
South America were 3S,697, ,428 pounds;
in 1915 this figure was more than
trebled in 1916 it was quadrupled, and
in 1917 the imports were more than
six times pre-war records. The 1915
clip promises to equal, if not to ex-
ceed, the last.

ReAexes Of War

Wage advances granted in Great
Britain during the month of October
affected 100000 workers, and resulted
in q total increase of S650,0O a week
The principal changes reported in
cludcd the bonus of 1212 per cent
granted to skilled engineers and iron
founders employed at time rates on
munitions work throughout the United
Kingdom. and the further increases to
woolen and worsted operatives in
Yorkshire, by which the wages Of piece
workers in the weaving branch were
raised 4S to 81 per cent above pre-war
rates and those of other operatives to
60 per cent above pre-war rates. The
following table, compiled by The La
Dor Gazettc,' Of London. shows the
wage changes in the various groups,
with the number affected and the
amount OF increase in 1917 from Janu-
AIRY to October, inclusive:

their offerings Of money for fixed
periods, and rates in this depart
ment were firmly maintained
throughout the week at 5M to u
per cent for all maturities. The
same situation prevailed in the COM
mercial paper market, where prime
bills were quoted unchanged from
the rates of the preceding weeks.
The weekly statement of the banks
showed a reduction of about so per
cent in the cash surplus, while loans
contracted less than $2,000,000.
The next and final instalment of 40
per cent on the second Liberty Loan
subscription is due on January Is,
but this is not expected to have
much effect on the local money situ-
alton in as much as large portion
of the loan subscription has already
been paid for in full. The govern
ment continues to offer A per cent
certificates of Indebtedness matur-
ing June 25, the special object of
the issue being to provide taxpayers
with a means of meeting their Fed
eral taxes in advance of the day on
which they become due, June Is,
thus avoiding the severe strain on
the currency system which would
result from the simultaneous pay
ment of all these taxes, amounting
to more than $2,O0O,000,000.

Dresdner Bank recently absorbed the

zoo to 26o million marks, and latterly
the DIsconto- -Gesellschaft has absorbed
the Magdeburser Bank Verein and four
other provincial banks, increasing its
capital from 300 to 31O million marks.
German newspapers uniformly report
great prosperity among the banks.
They appear to think the bank business
has been considerably simplified by
consolidation of transactions which are
mostly with the government or govern
ment committees. Notwithstanding
larger actual profits the banks appear
to keep their dividends about the same
as before the war, the Deutsche Bank
paying 121s per cent, the Disconto-
Gesellschaft 10 per cent, and the
Dresdner Bank S1a per cent.-Con-

Especially is this true of paper put out
by the government. Not the want of
trade, but the eHigencies of the treas
ury, are apt to determine the amount
of issues, and whenever such issues
take place in excess Of the wants Of
trade they almost invariably go from
bad to worse. Prices become inflated,
speculation sets in, and there is often
both a popular and a fiscal demand for
still larger issues to sustain the in
f1ated prices.
This appears exactly to describe what
we are going through now. The issue
of currency notes continues to increase.
! Prices are rising all round, the only
exceptions being in the price of cereals,
wheat and of minerals in August, 1917.
Cereals, owing to the action Of the
Food Controller. dropped slightly in
that month. Minerals also dropped
slightly, probably also through official
influence.
"But even in cases where. through
exceptional prudence and courage on
the part OF the government. paper is
not issued in excess" says "The Die
considerable evils may yet be produced
by the use Of such money. During the
suspension of specie payments by the
Bank Of France. from 1871 to 1877, the
premium on gold was, by the remark
able sagacity of the directors. kept at
a very low figure, almost vanishing at
every favorable turn Of trade. Yet
even this was not without momentous
consequences to the commerce Of that
country.
Other Dangers Cited
ain his valuable work, Lombard
Street. published at about the close
of that period, Mr.. Bagehot remarked:
THE note of the Bank of France has
not, indeed, been deprecated enough
to disorder ordinary transactions. But
any depreciation. however small, even
the liability to depreciation without its
reality, is enough to disorder exchange
transactions. They are calculated to
such an extent Of fineness that the
change of decimal may be fatal, and
may turn profit into loss. Accord :
ingly, London has become the sole
great settling house of exchange trans
actions in Europe instead of being, az
formerly, one of swo."
There are other dangers to our well
being we have to remind our readers
besides the rise in prices which are
involved in TIE present over-issuc Of
currency notes. The quota on we
have given above from Bagehot's LON
bard Street" shows the loss to France
which was experienced between 1871
and 1877 through a scarcely appreciable
over-issuc Of paper. We appear to be
exposed to a similar danger in England
from similar cause. The absence Of
the indirect control provided by gold
(Which may be said to be practically in
suspense for the time being) has al
ready had a certain influence on the
rates of exchange.
The question requires careful hand
ling. The cessation of the issue OF
the 10-shillng notes might be of some
service as reducing the amount in cir
cuation, but we think that more
drastic measures will be needed. We
are aware that the cXigcncies of war
exercise great influence on general
prices, and tend to raise them, but the
inconvenience caused by an inflated
currency meets one at every turn, and
present difficulties which forethought
in our financial arrangements could
overcome without serious difficulty.

Drilling in Oil
Fields Delayed by
Severe Weather
Fewer New Wells Completed in
December and Produc-
ton Falls

large decrease in the number of
wells completed, with small falling
off in new production and an increase
in the amount of'new work under way
at the close Of the month, are outstand-
ing features of the December report of
activities in the oil fields, compiled by
"The Oil City Derrick" Operators
were caught unprepared by the un-
usually cold weather of last month,
with the result that work was forced
to suspend in nearly every field. Be-
sides low temperatures, drouth was
an added handicap in most of the
Western fields. The Christmas holi-
days and labor troubles resulted in
further lessenirg of activity in many
sections.
1853 Fewer Compilations
The total of completions for the
month was 1,723, or 463 less than in
November. With the exception Of the
Gulf Coast and North Louisiana, every
division reported fewer wells complet-
ed, and the gain in these two was only
zine. The new production amounted to
S0.S35 barrels, or $3.50 barrels less
than In the previous report. The divi-
sons credited with increases were
Indiana, Texas Panhandle, North Loui-
siana and Gulf Coast

affected by the cold spell than others.
because of the large sarea covered by
Tho
work will not last beyond the present
cold spell, as the operators are anxious
to get as many wells completed as pos
sible. This is shown by an increase Of
l7O In new work at the close of the
month. when there were 1890 rigs and
1913 drilling wells, or a total of 4.9OS.
The larger gain in work under wav is
reported from Oklahoma out Kentucky.
Texas Panhandle and Gulf Coast also
showed additions.
Most Failures in Oklahoma
Among the competitions were 407 drv
holes, or SIS less than in November, and
139 gas wells, an increase of 80 More
