which ought TO have been done in May and June
was pushed into July, that the midsummer
decline due in July comes in August. With tbs
in mind one is not surprised TO find the shrink

lative markets to create apprehension. Exports
OF gold have continued this week. and while the

ports are falling below last years. In two weeks

show a small increase of 81 per cent. Govein-

ports Of last Saturday though evidently DIS
trusted lessen confidence In regard 10 the future
OF trade, even while some speculat tors gain ~
