The New York World says in its mon
ey article of Ssturday evening:
The question Of most importance TO the
mercantile community at the present time
is undoubtedly that of the future course OF
the gold market. The price of gold on
May 7 was 1868 and on that day it jump,
ed to 1894, owing to the rate of discount
being advanced TO a per cent. By the Bank
of England. The price afterwards de-
clined to 1877 on Monday, May 10, but it
gradually hardened during the week, until
on Saturday, May Is, it was cold at 140,
one German banking firm buying 81 ,00O-
600 at 1898 to 1895 that evening at $40 P.
NJ. On Monday, May IL, the failure of
Messrs Schepeler Il Co +, a leading CONNER
cal foreign firm, was announced arising
from losses in selling gold short. The ex-
element in the gold room attendant on
this failure of SShepeler & Co, caused
number of those who were short to buy
and cover their short gold. Ga Thursday,
29th instant, the highest price of this
week, l44s, was touched. Since then
tn q market has had a sharp reaction 10
l404 yesterday, decline of Al per cent
in one day. To-day the price has ranged
between l40k and l4ll This brief review
of the course of the gold market during
the last fortnight is sufficient 10 itself to
awaken every business man with an uns
covered gold account to the periIous posi-
ton in which he ia placed. The rapid
advance has been from legitimate business
causes-from the sudden but unexpected
failures of leading firms who were short
of gold. AT any time for the last three
months the same causes would have pro
duced the same resulis.
The figures Of the foreign commerce at
this port for the week are startling enough
10 awaken even the most dull as to the
critical condition Of those merchants Who
are prsdlcating their affairs on gold at $50
to 1876. The importaiiOns of merchandise
this week are more than double the amount
of last year, being the enormous sum OF
1904, $50 in gold against So, 470. 81 last
year. The dry goods imports ere in
creased about so per cent, and the general
merchandise about 40 per cent The
produce exports for the week are less than
those of last year, being 1891 1923 in cur
rency, equal to about s2.7O0,0OO 10 gold,
showing an excess of 81 300, 900 gold in In
ports beyond exports for the week. Thecom-
parsons for the last three years are most uE-
promising. They show steady decrease,
equal to over 20 per cent, in the exports
OF produce, and an increase of over SO per
cent. in the importaiions. The climax of
excessive imports and decrease in exports
must lie reached some time or other.
When that time cOmes the explosion in
credits will bring ruin on all expanded
inns. The only protection IN the power
Il merchants is to bring their liabilities as

Mr. HeaYer,s Nursery.

The fruit committee of the Horticultural
Society, together with number of invited
guests accepted the inequalities of Mr.,
VIM. HEAVIER at his Nursery on the Gala
tin pike yesterday evening, and spent an
hour or more pleasantly in examining his
handsome grounds, and his very attractive
flowers and plants. Mr.. Heavier located
here but a short time ago, but during his
residence in this place he has earnestly
engaged at work, as his many elegant
green houses and rare exotics will
testify. During the present season
he has been particularly fortunate in the
culture Of Strawberries, of which he has a
large number of varieties. At the late
exhibition he received the premium on
this fruit, and very deservedIy so, for We
have never seen finer berries than those
produced by him. The company assembled
were invited to partake of a strawberry
feast, after their promenade through
the vineyards and patches, and right
well was the treat enjoyed. The tables
contained bountiful supply Of his choice
varieties, including the Charles Downing,
the Green Prolific, Wilson's Albany and
Triumph de Chan, all Of which were dis
cussed and commented upon. Altogether
the visit was very agreeable, and those
present are prepared to be on hand again

near as possible to liquidation. The finan.
cial storm, as the history of the past has
aoundanily shown, will burst upon US sud-
deniy, and With a violence Intensified by
Inc recklessneas engendered by the
corrupting influences of gigantic civil
war and an irredesmsble paper money
system. The London panic of May,
1S66-short, sharp, and decisive--which
took from the United States Treasury $780,
VOO,OOO gold in the course Of few weeks
under the pressure of the Bank of England
screw" Is type Of what the futare has
In store for US. The irredeemable paper
money system fastened on this countryby
the Republican party has gorged the
Bank of England and the Bank Of France
with our share of the precious metals as
well as their own. The result has been an
unprecedented plethora of money in Eu-
rope from the excess of gold, or real
money, and in this country from the
greenbaek money which displaced our
gold. The natural fruit of this extra
ordinary gIut of money in the markets of
Europe and the United States, altogether
out OF proportion to real property or legiti-
mate business, has been an era of gigantic
speculasions and frands, legalized and I'M
blushIng, and enormous abuses of credit.
These must end finally, az they always
have done, ia collapse or bursting up Of
the bubbles, with wide spread bankrupt-
cies and ruin. So far as matters look at
present The prudent banker and merchant
have time 10 make Themselves snug before
the storm comes. The World warns them
TO prepare when they have the oppor-
tunity. During the time of a panic, ii
| is the duty of 8 journal to use its
best efforts to calm the public alarm. II
! is still more the bounden duty of journal
to warn its readers in ample time to pre-
pare for any financial events or storm il
may foresee. The responsibility is grave
one. The World has fulfilled its duty 10
the merchants, almost every week since
December last, in preparing them amply
in advance for a higher price in gold
this month. The World now, when
everything looks sunshiny and pleas.
ant, warns them to make them.
selves snug with limited liabili.
ties in preparation for the financial storm
which must come, sooner or later, from
excessive importations, excessive abuses
Of banking and mercantile credits, exces.
siye speculations in American securities,
and excessive over-trading both in and ou
Of Wall street. The storm foreseen ant
provided for is half averled.
The total exports Of produce al this p9r
since January l are So, ,594 in cur
rency, equal to about $4,000, 900 in gold
against $l28, 1888, 7S9 gold in merchandise
