FRENCH ARE SAVING
u. S. GOLD DOLLARS
P,ris Banker Offers Them as Best
Guarantee" to
Buyers.
Special Correspondence to The Star.

Special Correspondence to The Star.
PARIS.-"American gold dollars for
sale here" This sign is multiplying
rapidly in Paris and many towns in the
provinces. 1t does not imply any par
ticular distruSt of the franc nor any
particular confidence in the dollar. But
it does mean that many persons in
France have come to believe that gold
is the only safe form Of wealth.
The Bank of France is prepared to
sell gold ingots to all comers. But
because the price of an ingot is about
$4,000 there are not many coners.
Moreover, it is incumbent upon the
bank to report all purchases to the
treasury, one of the purposes of such
action being to check income tax state
ments
Consequently those desirous Of buy
ing gold find coins much more practical
and American dollars the most readily
available. One bank in Paris adver-
tises in financial reviews in these terms:
"At the request Of many capitalists
wishing to guarantee their fortunes
against all risk of depreciation, we
have been able to procure certain
quantity of American $40 gold pieces,
which represent the most thorough
gold investment possible. We sell each
piece at $50 francs"
Seeing that the best quotation for the
dollar ranges from Is francs so to %
francs 60, the bank makes profit OF
about 8 per cent on the TRANSACTION.
