The loss to the New York electric light

THE loss to the New York electric light
companies by the blowing down of their
overhead wires in last weeks gale was $780,
900, and now they are in a muddle with the
city authorities about getting the wires up
again. There was an impression, year or
SO ago, that the New York wires were being
put underground. When the electric light
companies consider how much of that $780,
600 would have been saved ii the wires had
been underground, they may wish that they
had not fought the underground measure so
desperately.

IT is singular feature of our foreign
trade that though the balance is largely in
favor. of this country the imports ofgold con-
tinue comparatively light The condition is
by no means unusual. As a rule the imports
of gold to rectify the balance of trade some
time after the balance has been made, and
the conditions of the exchange and money
market may delay it a long time. But the
balance must be settled sooner or later,
either in gold or in securities. If it is settled
in securities so much the better for this
country.
