THE GOVERNMENTS POLICY TO REMAIN USAl


THE GOVERNMENTS POLICY TO REMAIN USAL-
TERED.
, LONDON, May 10.-The Iimes's leading
editorial says: "The Government has no
intention Of dissolving Parliament this
year. When the present Ministry ask the
Judgment Of their constituencies on their
conduct they will be able to present COM
plete account of the policy and its result.
At present it is in process OF execution,
alike in Europe and Asia, and its bearing
cannot be fully estimated. A few months
more will show what has been the real
value OF the Berlin treaty and the measures
taken in AfghaniStan. Russia, moreover,
will now know that the English
Government will remain unaltered for
at least long enough time to insure
the execution OF the treaty, and she will not
be tempted tn evade it by hopes OF our
policy being altered by a change In the Mill
istry or by appeal to constituencies. The
Ministers will be enabled to complete the
work they have begun, and we shall be able
in few months to see with some clearness
what it is WORTH"
| FINANCIAL.
! LONDON, May 10.-The Ttmes'S financial
article of this morning says: 1.-The value OF
money remains at about IA per cent. At
tention is being drawn to the probable effects
OF the continuance OF cold northerly winds
upon the agricultural prospects, which are
already sufficiently unfavorahlc. Unless a
change occurs soon in the temperature there
can be little or 10 fruit. and there may pro-
badly be serious deficiency in the cereal
crops, which means larger payments than
usual to foreign growers, and eventually
l.dearcr money. Prominent among the other
prospective deficient yields on the continent
is that OF silk, cold winds keeping back
mulberry-leare>, upon which siIk-wormS
feed. The flow OF silver to China and ia.
pan will probably be increased from thi.
cause"
