THE MONETARY SITUATION

The monetary scare which pervaded the specu.
sative departments of the Stock Exchange did not
extend 10 the loan market. Rates were some
what harder, not because there was smaller
supply of loanabe funds, but because lenders
seized the opportunity to enforce them. In other
words, the local money market was not seriously
affected by the heavy shipments Of gold, which
were not entirely made good by the receipts OF
currency from the interior. This movement, In
deed, cannot lie depended upon much longer, for
the reason that the large exports Will exert a
sentimental influence tlmid country banks.
The effects of the shipments on the money market
will be felt seriously in the Immediate future
Rates for call loans ruled at 4a5 per cent, with
exceptional transactions at and per cent. The
last named was the highest rate for the week.
and the average probably about IL per
cent Time money was In better demand, ana
rates were advanced about l-2 per cent Tor all
periods. No funds were accessible under per
cent, and rates ranged from that 10 per cent
for both short and long loans. Foreign exchanges
were firm until the end OF the week. When
they became easier under freer offerings of bank
ems bills, and the premium Of halt-penny an;
nounced for American gold coin, which is offered

shipments Of gold at least to the extent OF last last

the anxiety of European countries 10 increase
their gold reserve may nullify their. predictions.

lively for long and short sterling bills. and were
therefore but liete under The exporting point.

1t is fact, ;" said a Canadian
registered at a New York hotel,
''that many young Canadinds come
to the United States to try their
fortunes; but it is also fact, which
can be proved by figures, that over
10000 Americans are living and dor
ing business in the Canadian prov
inces. Wherever YOU travel in
Canada you find Americans, and in
many OF the big cities you can find
small host OF than. In the mari
time provinces there are thousands
OF them engaged in trade and in the
fisheries. Several of the rich men
of Canada are Americans, and sever.
al important Canadian enterprises
are under the management of Amer
leans. The wages of Canadian work
men are not up to the American
standard, but the cost of living in
Canada is less than in the United
States. OF course the greater part
of the Americans settled in Canada
went there from the New England
states, but you do not need to hunt
far to find New Workers. Then
out oni.the Pacific coast inIsBritish
Columbia land. along the southern
frontier of the western provinces
there are plenty of Americans, and
everywhere their enterprising spirit
has been of benefit to the Cana

STARVED AMID GOLD.

That was strange scene witness
ed in a New York tenement house
the other day. An old bag was
found in her dirty apartment in ut
ter squalor, dying from lack of food
and other nourishment. But while
the old woman was starving, the old
clothing and rags about the room
were gold mines. A search disclos
ed quantities of gold and paper
money hidden in every conceivable
place. One heavy package was
found containing SO gold pieces
and English sovereigns-158 of the
latter. Old garments yielded up
rolls OF greenbacks, the bills nearly
all of large denominations. In long
slips OF soiled cloth SO and $40 gold
pieces were securely saved. Besides
the cash, several bank books were
found, showing large deposits in
different institutions. The woman
was Kate Roche, 70 years old. A
photograph, taken when she was a
young girl, showed perfect type of
beauty, The neighbors were ig1o-
rant OF the habits of the woman, and
it is not known whether she has any
relatives in this country.
What is the moral of such story,
or has it moral ?
