THE GOLD SUPPLY.
A London special says the advance
of the rate of discount by the Bank of
Germany to 5 per cent is regarded us
an evidence OF the grave disturbance
in the monetary affairs of Europe which
is to be apprehended i'll consequence of
the9complote cessation of the supply Of
gold from the United States, and the
strong probability that the latter in
future will draw gold in large quaint
ties from Europe. The Bank of Eng
land has sought to check this outflow
Of gold by advancing its rate to 5.
Germany now following by an advance
to 5, and further advance by the Bank
of England is predicted The supply of
gold, outside of the amount hitherto re-
ceived from America, will not be suf-
iicient to make up the annual wastage
Of the precious metal bv handling, and
its consumption in the arts, and m era
o. dear and scarce money is appre-
hended
