Foreign exchange has been growing steadily
Grmer under the apprehension that the payment Of
the heavy balance In trade against US must be made
by shipping gold Prime bankers at the close put
up their rates TO 1925 for sixty days and 1l0S for
sight sterling, which rates are close upon the specie
shipping point 1t seems only few weeks since
exchange was down to specie importing figures.
The fact is a curious illustration of our mercantile
wisdom. In the fall and winter, wnen gold Is down,
we sell our produce-corn, cotton and the llse-to
Europe. In the spring and summer, when gold Is
up aud exchange dear, pay for the linens silks,
wines, branes and other luxuries imported for our
exirayagant population.
The money market was quiet and steady through
out the week. The rate on call ranged from six per
cent on governments TO seven per cent on govern
ments aud stocks.

Some complaints had been made by the driver about
defect IN the engine mentioned, when, as the engi-
neer was proceeding to the spot to examine IT, the
explosion occurred, venting Its sound like heavy
piece Of artillery. The shock was very great, and
for some time all was CONSERVATION. AS the
first shock was over the men were looked after when
the headless trunk OF one was found, q
second with his head split in two, and
third mutated and dead. Many Others were
injured, but not so severely as required
any other than local surgical attenoance. Five men,
however, were brought up to the London Hospital.

some OF the medical staff, at once attended to the
injured men, two OF whom were found 70 be dead
