GOLD RESERVE MORE THAN FIVE BILLIONS Rising Price of Coal May Present Opportunity to American Exporters'. Hy YVP.S (.1 YOT. i ? - ? ?. . - Paria, Dae. it. The ?"an cloeed Wednesday is unquestionably a ? mceeaa, but it Is it?l impossi Me to gct tne slightest exact fore? cast of its total, though Rome indica ? i by the appearance the i.rst time in th?* weekly nenl * f the Hank of Franca of 100,000 franca subscribed di? rect to the Treasury's current ac ? with the bank. This amount, however, is only part of such pay? ments. Inquiries al poetoflcet and loan bureaus show an enormous Hit of liquid money has been forthcoming, even in small towns, a surprisingly larga proportion being in gold. A curious fact was an elev? enth hour rush, evidently bf persons who had intended to subscribe but poatponed it until the last moment. It should be remembered that pre? vious war loans cannot afford a cri? terion for judging this one, owing to the difference in conditions. Thus. m the 2,250,000,000 francs loan of 1871, or :,..oi.'),000,000 "f "It, the total being determined beforehand, many people deliberately subscribed for far larger t-ums than they wanted with the certainty they would be allotted only part of their sub? scriptions. Consequently, the totals were abnormally ?-welled, the loan of '71 being subacribed twice over, while that of the following year totalled 40,000,000,000. These were largely paper ligure?, whereas the pr?sent total wholly represents ca-h or securities actually produced. Fur? thermore, 10 francs per share must be paid down and all the remainder not later than the end of next March, in only three instalments, whereas in 1871 sixteen instalments were allowed and twenty in '72. Besides the success of the loan the Bank of France's figures are very satisfactory, showing a continually rising gold reserve, now surpassing 5,000,000,000 francs, which is espe? cially good, considering how much gold has been paid simultaneously as subscription to the loan. [India* counted bills deposited hy persons wishing to suhscrihe to the loan have Increaaed 55,000,000 francs in the week. There has naturally been a large inert*** 500,000,000?in adrancet, against scrip, al.-o due to the loan. Finally, note circulation has been diminished by no leas than 621-000,? 000 francs. An altogether exaggerated atten? tion ia being paid to the rise in price?, especially of food and com? bustibles. Prices have risen, no doubt, hut the rise is not execs.-ive considering that the nation is at war, with consequent limitations to : the supply of freight and a shortage of labor. Anyhow, prices are less high than 6ome years ago in time of peace. The rise in coal has caused the proposal of remedies which are rieky, if not dangerous. Thus, it is suggested that the state undertake a coal selling monopoly on the same lines as its grain monopoly. Pro ? moters of the scheme appear not to realize how cumbrous and imprac? ticable it is. Unless this proposal succeeds, which appears unlikely, there might be an opportunity for American exporters to put coal on the French market. Hitherto, their efforts have l*een unavailing, but France undoubtedly needs a larg<? quantity of foreign coal, and it is possible that America might compete > favorably with England.
