THE Flow OF GOLD TO THE UNITED
STATES.-The London ReUie1c has the fol-
lowing:
''The efflux of gold to the United States
has continued on somewhat larger scale
than had been looked for. although. in
fact, amounting to no great sum. After
the enormous receipts from that country.
month or two back, it is not too much to
have to return some f200, 900 or f3OO, 900 in
two or three consecutive weeks. The most
satisfactory feature in the movement is the
confidence that it shows in the permanence
OF peace III America, and that, as far as
investors are concerned, the renewal of
the civil war Is considered in the highest
degree remote. AS we have already had
occasion to observe, this belief is not only
felt by Englishmen and Germans, but has
latterly been shared by Frenchmen. The
twenty bonds, which these shipments
are made to pay for, are as eagerly, if not
more eagerly, bought i'll Paris as in Lon
don and Frankfort. Not very many years
ago, scarcely any foreign securities were
quoted on the French Bourse, and it is
significant to notice how great an altera-
ton has taken place in this respect. Ex-
doubted whether, in any other capital of
Europe-not even in Frankfort or Amster-
dam--foreign investments are now so
largely held as in Paris. Formerly, native
capitalists would take nothing but the
rentes; now, they are ready to invest in
Italian, Spanish, Mexican Unfortunately
and many other similar securities. Ex-
cept, however, in rare instances, United
States bonds have been in little favor and
hence the significance of the present de-
mand''
