TYPHUS IN CANADA.
The Dread Disease Obtains a Foothoid
There.

There.
MONTREAL, April notwithstanding
the stringent measures adopted by the
Montreal officials to guard against the
Introduction of the dread contagious
disease, a case of typhus fever has been
discovered in the civic hospital.
The victim is William James Cook, a
native of Worthing, Sussex county,
England, who with his bro ther sailed
from England on the steamship Buenos
Ayres, March 16. There we 600 steer
age PASSENGERS on board, including only
seventeen Englishmen.
Cook showed the first indications of
illness when two days out from Halifax,
and although examined by two pbysi-
clans on the way the symptoms were not
sufficiently marked To make the real
nature of his illness known until he
reached the hospital IN this city.
There would seem TO be screw loose
somewhere in the medical examination
system and the responsibility when To-
Gated is liable To rest heavily on the
shoulders OF some official.

FINANCIAL.
New York,

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-Leading bank
houses with foreign connections an
nounced this morning that they would
not ship any gold by tomorrow's
steamer. but the conditions changed
during the day, exchange on Germany
having been advanced to a point at
which slight profit was shown on eX-
portations of gold to Germany. and be-
fore O'clock two houses had made en-
gagementS for the Lain, which sails
tomorrow, aggregating 81, roo, 900, which,
with the half-million that went out O II
Saturday. makes total of 5000, 900
withdrawn for Germany. all of which
comes from bank vaults and not fro m
the United States subtreasury. AS the
| Lain sails early i'll the morning,
no more gold can be shipped
tomorrow. 1t is understood that.
in view of possible demands for
gold bars, the director of the
mint has been considering the advisa-
bility of making a charge of bar gold,
and it is estimated that even If export
ers could obtain the large bars used by
shippers at LILO per cent premium. the
charge would not Offset the advantage
to be gained by forwarding bar gold in
stead of coin, which is generally of
light weight and troublesome to handle.
The assay Office here now holds SAG, O0O,-
| 600 in large bars and $50. 900 in
small bars and coin. Today's gold ship
ment, while creating no alarm in gen
eral financial circles. had the effect of
assisting the depression in the stock
market, which was mainly due to other
causes. The grangerS were weak on
losses in earnings, the statement of St.
| Paul for the first week of December
coming in with a decrease of over sl93, :
600, which is even larger than was
anticipated. The heaviness of the
London market for American securities
was another depreciating influence, and
| there were some selling orders from
! abroad in the arbiurage specialties.
! News from Washington as to the tariff
| probabilities was not very reasSuring TO

cially as to DiStilling and Sugar, though
