Il. g. Dun 4 Co.'S "Weekly Review Of

The shipment of more than 5000 900
gold to Europe early this week has caused
some natura! apprehension in speculative
marke's. IL is true that the gold is de-

gate exports of about S05, 600, 900 per month,
and an excess of merchandise exports over
imports not less than $40, ,000. 900. At the
same time silver has been going abroad in
large amounts. II is clear that unless Sc
curities had been moved this way an un'
usual amount gold could not be taken
abroad in the settlement Of international
exchanges.
But the conditions of domestic trade are
decidedly healthy, and the approaching
close of the year will find larser volume
of business, both foreign and domestic,
than has ever betn known before.
Il is noted that the freight movement,
both eastward and westward, i unusually
heavy, and there are again signs of car

In jubilant gladness ring,
To welcome the coming OF Christmas
And the birthday of the King
Who was born in the lowly manscr o.

Was sung 10 the world below.

Like bride on her marriage morning,

Oh, were our lives as spotless,
Our hands uustaiued with sin,
And the latch OF each heart were lifted
To let the Christ child in.
Bring OF thy pine AMI holly,
On earth. this Christmas day,
And wreathe ia their green the altar
whereon our gifts we lay;
Gifts OF most grateful homage
Laid low at the feet of the Kin-,
WHO leans from His throne TO listen
To the sound OF our worshiping.
Bring to the dear Lords altar
The souls white flowers to-day,
Let the rose Of thy love she'd incense
Sweet as the breath OF May;
Let the lily OF faith eternal
Lift its cups OF myrrh to Him
Whose love is tie star that leads NJ
Through ways that are dark or dim.
Oh. earth send back TO heaven
Tne grand and glorious strain
That startled the wondering shepherds
On far Juiea's plain.
Glory to God in the highest
