Gold Still Falling.

John Bull has gotten over his scare about
the safety of American BOMBS, and they have
advanced in the London market TO a point
where It is no longer profitable to export them
to this side Of the ocean. Notwithstanding
all that has been said aud threatened, they
still stand at the head of the list. While the
British consols are quoted at % ll-l6, Ameri-
can bonds are held at 1919. Ii is true that
the eonsols bear only three per cent. interest,
while our bonds bear from four to six per
cent. The four and-a half-per-eents stand
above 103, and though the four-per-cents are
not quoted, it Is probable that they also are
at z premium. These facts show that Ameri-
can credit stands high in the European mark
ets and the latest quotations show that the
current of government bonds to this country
will be checked. Meanwhile the, balance OF
trade in our favor is steadily and RAPIDLY
growing. The official statement of january,
as prepared by the bureau of statistics. shows
that in that month our exports exceeded our
imports to the extent of 1913, 1862 over the
corresponding month of last year; and there
is no reason to believe that there will be any
falling off in this respect The great bulk of
our corn crop and our provision crop is still
to go forward. This great and increasing
balance of trade must be made good in gold,
for as we said before il no longer pays the
foreign holders to send us back our bonds.
Gold will thus continue to come in, although
there is but little use for il here. until the
balance of trade turns against US. The prem
ium is nearing the vanishing point, and even
now it is close to the point when it will no
longer pay to hoard it or to borrow money on
it at ordinary carrying rates. Resumption
seems to be accomplishing itself by the nat
ural laws Of trade.-Bditimore Gazette.

The practice of riding bicycles through the
streets of London is becoming a formidable
source of danger to the pedestrian. Recently
an old woman of II was knocked down by q
bicycle while crossing the street, and before
she could pick herself up was run down by

and killed. The coroner's jury brought in a
verdict of accidental death-involying a kind
of tacit censure upon the unfortunate old
lady for not keeping out of the way.
From Calcutta we learn that during the
recent famine in India not less than two mil

amount spent by the Government in relief
work and in camp charity was about $50, 000,-

land and Australia, amounted to 50, 500, 900.
The famine is considered at an end, as the
new crops are coming in, and are safe from
damage. Nevertheless, many living skele-
tons may yet be seen in the cities, and, at
latest advices, hundreds were lying by the
roadsides unable to move.
