U. S. NOW IS MONEY
CENTRE OF WORLD
American Dollnr Worth $1.02
in London When Sterling Ex
change Market Falls.
The United States how Is the world's
money centre. This was amply shown
by the drop In the sterling exchange
market In tondon yesterday to the low
eat point ever reached, K65,. In other
words, this means that the American
dollar, when represented In the terms
of British coinage, Is worth Jl.oi. At tho
low ngure sterling exchange Is 10 cents
below parity, or nbout IVi per cent, dis
count. The decline In sterling exchange, which
has been going on for some time past,
with new low records being made almost
dally In the laat few days, Is due to tho
heavy purchases of ammunition nnd
other supplies by the warring nations of
Europe and to the constantly Increasing
trade balance of the United States,
which, at the end of the nscal year, Juno
30, will stand nt about one billion dollars.
That Is, the United States exports will
have exceeded Imports from the Huropenn
nations by that amount.
While the sterling exchange market was
a trlflo hlaher today, Wall streot realizes
that something must be done to put rates
back on a normal basis. In order to
accomplish this, gold has been Impoited
from various parts of the globe by thd
million of dollars' worth, but this has
had no effect, except for the temporary
strengthening of rates. With 2.5,000
of gold brought In from Canada today,
tho gold Imports from all sources slnco
the first of the year now 'tand at J103,
915,000, nnd of this amount JTC.7tO.000 has
come from Canada, where It was taken
from thn vaults of the Bank of Ottawa,
the branch of tho Bank of England.
Before the outbreak of the war, tho
I'nlted States mado lnrgo gold shipments
to Canada for tho account of the Bank
of England, the nmount being about 1102,
000,000, the most of which has now come
back. Thece outwnrdbound shipments
were made whon the United Stntes owed
Europe a large nmount of money, esti
mated at tho time at about J700.O00.000.
Tho establishment of largo credits by
the European Governments here for tho
purchase of war supplies and to
strengthen the forclRn exchange market
aro again being talked of, but bankers
here ore waiting for European banker
to take the Initiative.

down the street after the ceremony, Net
tle upbraided John for paying too much
attention to the girls who passed them.
There were a few warm words and John
returned to his home, while Nettle came
to thin city and visited friends here.
Three weeks after tho ceremony, Net
tie, who owns her own home and farm,
visited her husband at his home and
asked him when he Intended to live with

tion whatever. Thcro tho mat(er rested
until the divorce action today. John
asked for the divorce, charging desertion

Prunes
or
Strawberries-
C It is narrated of Eugene
Field- that in his strug
gling Kansas City days he
was invited to take tea at
a well-to-do friend's com
fortable home.
CThe lady of the house
handed Field a dish of
delicious - looking straw
berries, at which the hu
morist solemnly shook his
head; whereupon his
hostess asked him whether
he didn't like strawberries.
C"Oh, my, yes indeed I
do; I like them very much,"
protested Field, "but it's
so long since I had any, I'm
afraid they'd spoil my taste
for prunes!"
C Unless you are ready to
be translated permanently
from the stoke-hole torrid
ity of common clothing to
the poral and breeze-swept
comfort of these skeleton
lined Perry Summer Suits,
better not get merely a
taste of it! $20, $25, $30.
