The next Bank OF England return is expected to
show favorable changes, f3l4,G00 having gone
into the bank from abroad since Thursday and
being expected to go In to-day. A further re-
turn both of gold and notes from Scotland is
anticipated. The Tisa,es, in its financial article
however, is apprehensive that the money mar
ket is not safe from American and German de-
mandS for gold. The Afghan affair may require
the government to send silver to India The

mand thus created would raise the price and so
bring out the German stock, which is believed
to be still large.
