bushel. which would indicate @ strong and
healthy condition.
Cash corn closed about 10c. per bushel
lower than a week ago. The large receipts
and fine weather for the maturing of growing
crops is the cause of the decline. Should
dry weather continue there will undoubtedly
be large receipts of corn the latter part OF

Hog product has suffered severe decline

they think will produce plenty OF tat hogs IN

of mess pork, is a heavy pressure on the
market. Demand for short ribs continued
good and stocks have been very materially
reduced the past week.
Following is the report of the United Press:
Wheat ruled irregular to-day. and
developed some very weak spots, but the
general tone was one of strength. The mar

Rritiah GOLD in business.

Il
Some conception OF the magnitude Of
John Bulls investments away from his own
/ tight little island may DO conveyed By the
/ conservative estimate that British loans on
| South American securities aggregate more
than 500, 00O, 0o0 Besides this. over $3.50. =
| 000. 900 Of British gold Is invested In South
American railways, and not less than s25,-
O00, 900 more in nitrate mines. Then there
is over $50, co., 900 invested in South
/ African Ininos. Aside from all these
enormous investments IL the immense sum
Of $500. 100000 tied up in trust funds
Added 10 these almost fabulous invest
ments are further investments in Mexico
and Central America, which, in point Of
magnitude, very nearly equal the
amounts placed in South America.
Up TO this time the Mexican and Central
American loans have proven entirely salts
factory. But for some time before the re-
cent financial strain those In South America
had excited no little apprehension. Within
the short space Of ninety days or so just
preceding the late financial furry these
loans sustained a shrinkage in value
amounting to over $4,000, COO. Railway
securities shrank fully $4,000, 900 and tho
nit ate mines diminished all Of 81, 900, 900
more. ShrinkAges In the South African
mines aggregated considerably more than
$50, 900 900, aud in trust company values it
amounted TO fully S35 10000 additional.
SO It will be seen that these depressious,
added 10 the losses on "cedulas," mount up
to total loss very closely approximating
$3.50, 900, 600 that will fall upon the investors
whose money has so freely flowed through
the channels Of the London money market.
Taking all of these facts into account, no
one can have cause for wonder that even
such bulwarks of financial strength as the
Bank Of England and the Earrings had
urgent need to ask the aid of the
Bank Of France, and to be quick in getting
it, too.
Nor can we feel surprised at the impend-
ing collapse that was so narrowly averted
in Wall street. On the contrary, it now
appears almost marvellous that general
crash throughout the financial world did not
ensue and revive the distressing scenes of
seventeen years ago. That it did not come
should afford us good cause for no little
satisfaction with the growing tendency to
conservatism in our own business methods
that is thus clearly evidenced. To that
extent we seem to have profted by the So.
we're experience of past disasters.
Such recklessness as those usually careful
British flnanciers have lately shown would
surely have brought us back to the harrow
ing scenes of 1s73-and probably in greatly
aggravated form.
Nevertheless, the Britons have pulled
themselves together" with wonderful skill
aud celebrity, and will probably soon be
quite as financially stroIg as ever. With
all his hoard Of gold and manifold resources
1t Is not at all strange that John Bull should
WELD some little influence in the world.
