the prlee OF gold
We have noticed from time to time the
vast amount of imports during the past few
weeks. and now we learn that they amOuntd
last week TO nearly fourteen millions of dol
lars over three and a Ealfmillions being the
yaIue of drv roods. and little les than
ten and a half millions of general merchan-
disc. The rise of the cold premi-
nm may he accounted for in part from the
unusual amount of the precious metal our
importers have needed 10 nav duties on
these larre imDortati,rs. and partlv also
from the recent action of the Bank Of Eng
land in raising the rate of discount. But
there l. evidently another and more general
cause oDeratinr- for cold has been rising
steadily from II toward the close of last
wear to I.IsI. The export Of gold to
greater amount than the production Of our
| mines lessons. Of course. the stock in the
country. Since the first of January we
| have exported SI3.3i7.3Is. This Is at the
rate of S53. .3s9. .272 a year. We do not
