as a world financial centre. Some OBJ
servers have even gone so far as to
assert that the financial supremacy of
the world has passed from London to
New York. Students of finance do not
subscribe to that opinion, although
they admit that from now on there will
be increasing rivalry between the two
great centres. "The Economist" of
London, has something of interest to
say On the question of whether London
or New York is to be supreme. (Which
will be the actual leader" it says,
"after VIC all get back to work is an
open question. If trade develops as it
ought to, if the worlds producers and
carriers work instead of wrangling,
there will be business enough for any
centres that are able to take part in
financing it, and that centre will have
the largest turnoven which does its
business most easily and cheaply and
imposes least restrictions on all goods,
securities and persons that come in to
deal or be dealt with. Freedom of re-
strictions and a wide-opcn door used TO
be great help to London, but eco
nomic jingoism is now so ripe, both in
high places and low, that we may lose
some of that advantage.

Government expenditures during the

alone they were more than S2,5OO OOO.-

which called upon taxpayers to antic-
pate their June, 1919 tax payments bv
purchasing the az per cent Treasury
certificates. which will be accepted in

these certificates" says Secretary
Glass. "will not only make a wise in

Fair Demand for Steel
Peace-Time Purchases Larger
Than Generally SuDposed

Peace time purchases of iron and
steel products are larger than gener-
ally supposed, while the December out
put of steel ingots estimated at 1882
3o6 tons is only 2 per cent under the
November production. These are the
salient facts brought out in the cur
rent weekly review of "The Iron Age"
which says:
AN incomplete analysis indicates
that the peace time buying is larger
than generally supposed. No attemp
is made to express it in figures, but
in spite OF good shipments in Decem-
Der the bookings on january l were
probably less than 10 per cent below
those OF December l. Generally the
producer describes conditions better
than generally expected"
Mills are now operating at 60 per
cent of capacity, which condition. it
is indicated, accounts for the fact that
surplus of labor has already become
apparent at steel works, with offers
to work at lower than existing wage
schedules. Concentration on export
prooaoliltles, 1T is pointed out, serves
to accentuatc the differences in ocean
freight charges between this country
and England. The vessel freight rate
inference needs 10 be within Sf4 a ton
1or the United States to participate.
Export plate inquiry, according to
The Iron Trade Review" aggregates
over 265.0O0 tons, including one lot of
$4,000 tons for Italy, one of l2O01
tons for Japan and another of 5000
tons for South America.

per cent bonds Of the Toledo, st. Louis

yesterday, has not yet been paid, ap-

In communication sent to the hold
ers of the bonds the Farmers Loan and
Trust Company, as trustee of the mort
gage, says that the receiver, finding
himself without funds at the date of
maturity of the interest, sought to
raise the necessary funds through an
issue of receivers certificates This
step was vigorously opposed by the
trust company, which in its circular
said:
"The result of the whole complicated
situation was that the court author

It, and in case the controversy is

government pending the negotiation of

The above rates express the cost Of
foreign money in terms of the Amori-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling, say, at s4.75%. The intrinsic
parity is $4.S69s per pound. Thus you
say either that pounds are at dis
count or that dollars are at premium,
winch is owing to the fact that in Eng
land the demand for dollars with which
TO settle accounts in this country is
greater than the demand in this coun-
try for pounds with which to settle
accounts in England.
