India, likewise, is a buyer to the extent of about $2,000,000 compared with $962,899 last year. Financial Review. one-hal- THE BETTER DOLLAR. Gradually is the dollar coming into its own.' Gradually it is climbing toward par. A year ago a dollar was estimated to be worth 56 cents. Today it is worth 67 cents. This is based, on a comparison of what it. would buy at its best. As the months go by the dollar becomes more valuable and in the future, perhaps not so far away, it will again reach its old value. New York newspapers estimate that for some time preceding Christmas the metropolitan public spent, at the rate of $10,000,000 a week for diamonds, furs, clothing, luxuries and gifts, and that it bought its provisions for Christmas dinner more cheaply . than since 1913. Lucky is the man who could pay with the cheap dollar of the past few years debts incurred when the dollar was dear. The man was fortunate, indeed, who ten years ago purchased a home for, say, $10,000, carrying a mortgage of $7,000, which mortgage he was able to pay off with the cheap and plentiful dollars of recent years. Unlucky, indeed, is the man who contracted debts during the cheap dollar era, or who contracts them even today, only to have to pay them in the future with dollars of far more value. dollar of a year ago is The dolnow worth 67 cents. The lar of today; laid away,' will some day be worth 100 cents. Dont be a miser in the present for the sake of an uncertain future but, on the other hand, dont be prodigal with the dollars which come easily, only to need them when they come with greater effort. 56-ce- nt 67-ce- I nt A prize of $100,000 has been offered by Lord Atholstan, of Montreal, for the discovery of a cure for cancer . within five years.
