The Shutting of the India Mlnte Has Not

LONDON. Aug. 10.-Since the India Council
sold drafts one-fourth OF a penny below the
minimum rate Of sixteen pence. Indian ex-
change has declined sharply. yet the. move
ments OF the exchanges have hardly affected
the price OF silver in London. An important
fact in connection with the silver crisis. and
one which increases the distrust OF the recon-
mendntions Of the Lord Herschell committee
is that the closing OF the India minis to free
OF silver to cease. nor given the expected i'm
petus to the imports OF gold. :,
The mints were closed OH June 20. During
the next six weeks the silver shipmeuts from
Europe to India am counted to s53S. 200. agains st
f34S 300 during the corresponding period OF
1892. This decrease in, exports to India how
ever. was more than balanced BY the increase
In the same six weeks OF 1898 the latter
amounted to GSl7 100 or f475.0OO more than
during the CORRESPONDING period Of 1872
The consumption OF silver" says the Sta
tis. does not and will not abate. The recent
fall was duo to the policy Of the Indian Gov
eminent. and was not the consequence OF q
cessation OF the demand"
The continuation OF gold shipments to tho
United States is expected to cause shortly a
rise OF the Bank OF England's rate to Ave or
even six per cent. Some Canadian. as we'll as
many United States financial firms are seek
ing to negotiate loans in London. Tho bank

MADISON SQUARE BANK LOANS
President BInucs About $50 .Ooo-Direeto-
sout.rd'- Not SO Much.


1t was learned Yesterday that the amount OF
President Joseph +. Blauts Indebtedness to
the Madison Square Bank Is in the neiehbor-
hood OF $4,000. As security the bank holds
MIR. Blauts personal notes and quantity OF
bonds OF an Arizona railroad OF face value
more than equal to the amount of his indebt-
edness. The name Of the railroad is not
known, but 1t is said now to be in the hands OF
receiver and the bonds have deprecated in
value materially. Their market value at the
present time 1t is said. does not cover the
amount OF the loan although 1t did when the
loan was made.
One director also. 1t was learned. Is heavily
indebted to the bank. He is A. L. Soulnrd. the
President OF the Ontario Mutual Accident In
surance Association. which has Just gone into
voluntary liquidation. Mr. Soulard is also
President OF the German American Real Es-
tate Title Guarantee Company. Of which Mr..
Blaut Is director Mr.. Souard's indebted
ness to the bank is said to be in the neigh
hood Of $4,000. The nature OF Mr.. Souard's
