1.-THE scare about gold exports had no
real significance. and although 2,250 900

and Is substantial cause of diff
Guilty In the fact that exports of prod
ucts have been too small to meet the
greatly increased imports of merchan-
disc. The collapse of Kaffir specula-
tons abroad has forced many to realize

$4,000 tons greater than in any other
half year. The startling fact Is that
the demand for products of iron and
steel falls off, Notwithstanding the in

but lake copper sold at 1l1s cents and is
weak. Lead Is decidedly weak on ac-
count OF foreign consumption and Is
quoted at s3.17H."
