NtTHERLfIND BANKS
ME FILLED IN GOLD
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, Feb. 15.
—Not the least curious of the many
strange incidental effects produced by
the war is the fact that the small
country of the Netherlands probably
contains more gold today than eevr
before in its history. In the past year
for instance, a continual seady inflow
of gold from the European continent
and oversea has doubled the stocks of
the Netherlands Bank, and with Hol
land’s foreign exchanges continuing
their ever-downward course there is
no saying to what figures they may
not reach, if the war lasts much lon
ger and is still kept out of her bor
ders f
Wiht long queues sanding daily at
the bank’s doors, the government at
IHE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER
the outbreak of the war hal to reduce *
the compulsory gold covering the
bank’s callable liabilities from 40 to j
20 per cent.; those liabilities of 620,-:
000,000 florins, or $258,333,000, a re I
now covered to the .extent of 69 per
cent., the gold stocks amounting to
430,000,000 florins, or $179,166,000. On
the other hand, a review of the year
just closed shows that the banknote
circulation has been a record one,
reaching the figure of 576,700,000 flor
ins on November 2 last, or $240,291,
060.
Other evidence of favorable fac
tors which the war has brought with
it for Holland is found in the new
year’s speech of the chairman of he
Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce, in
which he shows that a number of
businesses and industries have been
able to make considerably increased
profits, although the risks were ab
normal. The Dutch shipping compan
ies have been making enormous prof
its, while the Dutch shipbuilding yards
are so crowded with work ihat orders
can only be placed for very distant
deliveries.
1 may be noted incidentally that the
considerable rise in the prices of
American industrial securiies was one
of the principal factors that aided in
a rapid liquidaion of the mass of
stock loan transactions that had to be
compulsorily suspended when the war
crisis broke out, as the Dutch public
ook advantage of this rise to realize
on a large quantity of their American
holdings and obtain the ready money l
they needed.
There is, however, another side tn
he medal, for the feverish activity in
some .economic departments is more
than offset for the nation as a whole
by the big rise in the cost of living
and the burden of the mobilization
costs. The war loan of some $115,000,-
000 has long since been eaten up and
at the end of the year the floating deb
of the treasury had again grown to
$54,000,000, so that another big loan
seems inevitable in the coming spring,
while rage taxation increases are al
ready before parliament
The export of cut and rough dia
monds to the United States amounted
in the first hree-quarters of the year
to 13,780,000 florins or $5,745,000,
against 12,781,000 florins, or $5,325,400.
The demand for rough diamonds, which
was small in the beginning of the year,
increased considerably, especially in
the third quarter of the year, while
prices remained firm. Holland mer
chants have been establishing more
representatives in America htan for- 1
merly, so that the increased stocks in '
their possession should be taken into
account in connection with the fore
going figures.
LECTIMCITIIL OF
PEfIRYJS ft TREfiT
In his professional work Sir Edward
Baxter Perry's specialty is the lecture
recital; that is, a regular concert pro
gram of piano works, accompanied by
an informal lecture, centering chiefly
about the compositions presented, but
touching incidentally upon points of
interest in the lives and characters of
the great masters and running into the
fundamental principles of art and
aesthetics. In his remarks Mr. Perry
impresses upon his hearers, with
strong and stirring emphasis, the dig
nity and value of music from a genuine
art standpoint and of art from he
standpoint of humanity, thus securing
from them a keener interest and a
more profound attention. He further
more relates any stories, traditions or
experiences upon which he various
numbers of the program are founded,

"HENPECKED HENRY”
BEST OF SEASON
It was not an overflowing audience
which greeted “Henpecked Henry” at
the Opera House last night In fact
the players w'ere plainly disappointed
—and you couldn’t blame ’em. This
show was not overly crowded with
numbers in their troupe, but that did
not detract from the show.
“Henpecked Henry” was a good,
laughable, musical comedy—one which
you might enjoy and one which the few
people who witnessed it seemed to en
joy. Jack Trainor ,who played “Hen
pecked Henry” was excellent. He had
a laugh for every movement, and his
equally comical wife was a roar.
The show-loving public of Americus
will have to look for other refuge, if
they do not patronize the shows. It is
certainly no inspiration for an actor to
address his remarks to as many vacant
seats as there are occupied ones. The
I people"'who missed It, missed a fqw
j hours of real, genuine, hearty laughs.
