OUR GOLD EXPORTS.

Touching our heavy gold exports, the
Henry Clews circular of Jan. 21st, gives
some valuable statistics. The accumu-
lation of gold in Europe within the
past year have been so large that 1t is
hardly likely the movement will be
further encouraged. The seven great
national banks of Europe now hold
S100,000,000 more gold than they did a
year ago, of which only S25, 100000 has
gone towards the monetary prepara-
tions of Austria Hungary. In COM
menting on the monetary situation in
the United States, the Clews circular
says:
"The strengthening tone of the Stock
Market Is also helped by the appear
ances that the export movement in gold
will soon exhaust ITSELF aud the
"Street" is disposed to the opinion that
we have about reached the elimination
of the extraordinary shipments of that
metal. Concurrently with these proba.
bilities of more favorable c)urse of
the gold movement, after next Satur-
days shipments, there is the usual
large reilux of currency from the in
terror, incident to this season of the
year. The prospect thus favoTs an ease
in the local money market from this
time forward; and the fact is producing
disposition among lenders to put out
their funds more freely on time loans,
which is calculated to encourage the
upward tendency in the prices for
securities"
