NEW YORK. Doc. 23. Its light

greatest luminary of rocent years
Enrico Caruso . the Metropolitan
Opera has reached the height of
what Its social and professional
sponsors acclaim as tho moat suc
cessful season since the world's eyes
were focused on New York as the
hub of the operatic universe.
Not, offlrluls or tho lopern said
today, that a great gap has not been

have made it so ruinous. Caruso's

MANCHESTER, Eng., Dec. 22.
New York is the principal ireo gold
market, and all the world owes her
money, but London still remains the
world's financial center. This was
the keynote or un address by O. Jl.
Hobson, financial editor of tho Man
chester Guardian, at a meeting of
the .Manchester and District Bank,
ers Institute-.
'Though America's loans to Eu
rope run into thousands of millions
sterling, America has not yet learn
ed the art of foreigm Investment,"
Mr. Hobson said. "She is not able
or willing to lend to foreigners at
rates competing with London rules.
Again, despite tho remarkable suc
cess of the Federal .Hessrve i Sys
tem. New York lias never fet been
able to establish a proper discount
market, the smooth nnd economical
working ot which Inns done so much
to popularize the bill on London all
over the world.
"Although London has lost a cer
tain amount of business to New
York; though the genial drift of
thd world's wealth from east to
west must continue to give New
York far greater prominence as a
financial center than she Jind, before
the war, yet London's pre-war po
sition has not been very seriously
nrrected, nor need 'it lie yet, awhile,"
the speaker went on. : '
Referring to tho tendency nmong
hanks to amalgamate, Mr. Hobson
observed that high banking author
ities agreed that hut lor this oon"
solidatlon movement, British banks
would not have been able to weath
er the slump. ; The Inherent sound
ness ot the- British banklaig system.
he concluded, hud stood the strain
and no disaster Jiad befallen as com
parable to the ennapsa or the Mer
cantile Bank of , the Americans. For
the next few years, the course of
British banking, be predicted, would
be rather In tho direction of con
solidating the position already won
than of entering now rields.
