The imports from both European and overseas countries shared in the increase, the European coun- tries registering an increase of 15 million Marks, and the countries 8 million. The imports from The Argentine, Brazil, Chile

overseas

ARTESIAN BORE

Quilpe (Queensland) so far as is known, is the only town in the world to obtain its supplies of electricity from an artesian bore, 'although' it is no uncommon thing for American townships to derive their fuel and Ughting from reser- vours of natural gas. The bore at Quilpe is almost three thonsand feet deep and yields roughly a million and a half gallons of water dally, which is laid on to the town. At full consumption the towns- people found it impossible to avail themselves

BRITISH PLAN ACCEPTED BY RUSSIA

NEW BRITISH NOTE ISSUE

London, Nov. 16. The announcement that the fiduciary, issue will be increased by £20,000,000 was taken quietly in the City. It is pointed out that note circulation tends to increase at Christmas, and such increase this year would only have been possible by withdrawing notes from reserve

the Banking Department of the Bank of England. This would mean a sharp fall in the propor tion of reserve to deposits, and in order to obviate this especially as a fall would attract unfavourable comment on the Continent... the authorities have decided to in- crease the iduciary issue, thus permitting more notes to go into circulation without affecting the total of notes in reserve. More- over, reports of the high level of internal and external trade in October suggest a growing demand for currency. It is generally ex- pected that pote circulation will exceed £500,000,000 at Christmas.- Reuter

TEMPORARY MEASURE

London, Nov. 16. A temporary expansion in the fiduciary issue to meet the Christ- mas demands was announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the House of Commons at ques- tion time. He said he had given directions at the request of the England, and under Bank of powers, conferred on the Treasury by the Currency and Bank Notes Act, 1928, that as from the middle of November the fiduciary issue, which was reduced from £260.- 000,000 to £200.000.000 last year, should be temporarily raised to "£220,000,000. This arrangement was to meet the seasonal demands, and it was therefore contemplated that it would obtain.for about two months-to the middle of January 1938
