There was no profusion

No yards of illusion

NEW YORK. Aug. IA new and unex.
pected clement of relief has been injected
into the financial situation. United States
bonds have reached such a low figure that
national hanks see their way clear to

dollars will he added to New York's
supply of currency within a very short
time. Orders have already been placed
with the comptroller of currency Tor
part OF the new bills aud
some banks have bought bonds
preparatory TO depositing them in
Washington. The shipment OF gold

days steamer reached fl0,0oJ. Arrange

forwarding of wheat and produce TO
England. The total gold now afioat from
Europe to America, most of IL due here
within a week. is between seven and eight
millions. About the only difficulty the
banks now have to contend with, II Is
said. is the great scarcity of currency.
Harvey Fish d Sons. who make a spe-
cialty Of government bonds, to-day sent
n circular to national bank officers, urg-
ing the importance of enlarging the c.rcu-
lation. They said:
There is room for over $40, 100000. pro-
vilcd bonds can he secured for deposit.
Banks can perform n service by increas-
ing the circulation and receive their re-
ward in the shape of large profits. Bank
currency is the best which the country
can have. because IL expands when needed
and contracts when not, instead of in tho
latter case remaining IN circulation To in
duce foolish speculation. which hastens
and intensfies panics, such as We are now
passing through"

GOLD COMING BACK.

TO New York.

NEw YORK, Aug. l.-Wall street Is
more cheerful to-day than for months
past. The improved tone is due to the
reported engagement Of gold In London
FOR shipment to New York and Chicago.
II Is ANNOUNCED that Si,6Q1.QD Was drawn
from the bank Of England for shipment
to America.
OF this amount 10000 is consigned to
the First National bank of Chicago, $780,
600 TO the Illinois Trust company OF Chr
cago and S25J.0OO to the bank of Nova
Scotia, Chicago. IL is estimated that the
total shipment from London and the con-
tineni for the week will reach nearly
Ss,OO00O. A tour Of leading trust compa.
nies developed the fact that there was .
few defaulters of importance m the pay-
ment OF interest. This Is considered re-
markable on account of the hard times.

PARIS, Aug. l.-Advlces received here

ing has been reached in regard TO tho do
limitation of the territory claimed by the
French, or at least that no knowledge 10
that effect has reached tho Siamese cap
ital. Neither 10 II known at Bangkok that
tho blockade is to be at once raised. On
the contrary, dispatches from Blngkok
fully support the reports current last night
that much uneasIness as to the iinal out
come OF the trouble is felt in Bangkok,
and that the anxiety ~ increasing daily.
II is feared an attack will shortly be made
upon Bangkok. unless the French govern
ment sends orders To Vice Admiral Hu-
mann not to attack the city.
LATER-A council of the ministry was
held to-day. Deyelle announced that
Prince vadhana had sgnified Sans will
ingness to concede the supplementary
guarantees demanded by France. de-
velle also stated that his interview yester-
day with Lord Dufferin was based on the
negotiations of lss9, which recognized the
principle OF buffer state between the
French and British possessions in the
East. Tho question of a neutral rome was
reserved for future consideration. The
supplementary guarantees demanded by
France from Siam, which will include the
temporary custody of the river and port
OF Chantibunat and a pledge that Siam
shall not establish military stations in
certain named places near the Cambodian
frontier or within a certain distance oi
the Mekong river, were contained in a
note issued by Develle yesterday and
made public to-day. The pretext for i'm
posing these heavier conditions Is alleged
to be the delay of Siam in accepting tho
original ultimatum.
