SUSPENDED PAYMENT IN CASH
How British Government Saved the
Situation When country's Financial
= SoIvency Was Threatened.

In the great war which England COM
menced with France in 1903, the first
four years saw f4OO,OOO,OOO added to the
national debt, without any material
advantage being gained. So much coin
had left the country for the payment
of troops abroad and as subsidies to
allies that the bank, during 1896, be-
gan to feel difficulty in satisfying
demands made on it. At the close Of
the year people began to hoard coin
and to make runs upon the county
banks. These applied to the Bank Of
England for help, and the consequence
was that run upon it commenced in
the latter part of February, 1897. This
great establishment could only keep
itself afloat by paying in sixpences.
Immediate Insolvency was expected,
when on February 26, the government
stepped in with an order in council
authorizing the notes Of the bank as
legal tender until such time as proper
remedies could be applied. This sus-
pension Of cash payments was attend"
ed by the usual effect of raising the
normal prices of all articles.

Old WEIGHTS and Measures.

"Stil-yards," beams and all manner
of weights and measures, as might be
expected from their Importance in the
life and interchange Of the populace,
are frequently mentioned in old chron-
icles, and one quaint allusion reads,
"this lying weight was by the Bal
ance, the weight lying in one scale,
and not hanging or sliding on the
Beam Ct & Stll.ySard. az IL auncel

not beyond reproach for Arnold, in
Loo, tells how this wayght is forbid
den in England by statute Of Parliaa
ment and also holy Church hath cursed
in England all that beyen or sellen
by that auncel wayght." However,
in spite Of church and law, the "aunc-
eel wayght' continued in use till 1882.

OF Importance to Farmers.

The following circular letter has
been sent to all banks in the ninth
federal reserve district by John H.
Rich, chairman, with the request that
it be given publicity. It speaks for
itself:
\ The Importance of raising full
crop of good spring wheat cannot be
overestimated. The planting Of wheat
has commenced and will shortly be in
full swing; and the acreage for the
ninth district will probably be de-
termined within the next two weeks.
This office is Of the opinion that aside
from it's Importance to the nation as
whole, spring wheat will be prof.
table investment to the farmers this
year. 1t bases it's opinion upon the
following facts: .....
i. The worlds visible supply of
wheat is about 20O,00O,000 bushels less
than a year ago.
2. The visible supply Of spring
wheat in the United States is 63,000,-
900 bushels less.
8. Elevator stocks in Minneapolis
and Duluth are only about 100000
bushels as compared with 48,0O0,00O
bushels year ago.
4. The percentage of spring wheat
left in the hands of the farmers is less
than 10 per cent.
5. The acreage sown to winter
wheat is 100000 acres less than a
year ago, and the condition, according
to government report just out, is
only 1856 per cent as against 99.8 per
cent year ago. The government
forecast Of production this year is
100000 bushels as against 731 ,000,-
900 bushels year ago. AS the winter
wheat acreage cannot be increased
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1920-04-22

there will be a heavier demand than
usual upon the crop from the spring
wheat states, which will undoubtedly
reflect itself in the price.
6. Contrary to the belief Of many
farmers wheat has been selling at a
high price as compared with other
farm products. Figures in which this
office has confidence show that on a
prewar price basis, which is used
as 100 per cent, hogs sold during the
last quarter of 1919 at 178 per cent,
cotton at 268 per cent, but wheat at
277 per cent, or little moro than
2 3-4 times the prewar price,
z. The conditions are such that the
farmer is justified in expecting prof
liable crop, weather conditions per-
hitting. Our soil and moisture re-
ports are much more favorable than
a year ago. We have raised 350,000,-
000bushels of spring wheat in the
northwest on an acreage of 22,000,-
600 acres, and we can do it again in
a good wheat year. So far as it is
possible to judge, it would appear that
this is going to be a good crop year
after the unfavorable conditions that
have prevailed, especially in the wes-
tern half of this district for two years.
Seed wheat is, of course, high in
price, but the price should be con-
sidered in connection with the amount
needed to seed an acre Of crop and
the comparative cost of putting in an
acreage of wheat that promises to be
a good investment as compared with
the cost of putting in other crops,
which in the opinion Of this office, will
command high price, but probably
not as good g price as wheat in the
face Ct worldwide conditions and
prospective conditions in this country.
