TO RAISE DISCOUNT.
Bank of England VIII Make Tt 4 Per
Cent Tom morrow.

London. Oct. 21-The Times says in
its financial article today: A rise in the
bank rate is almost inevitable on
Thursday. Considering that the rate Of
exchange does not make gold exports
profitable, it cannot be doubted that a.
premium is being paid to those under
taking the gold shipments. 1t is cal
culated that if Mr. Mckinley is elected
most of this boarding viii be stopped.
There is general belief here that the
directors of the Bank of England at
their regular weekly meeting tomor-
row viii raise the discount rate from 8
to 4 per cent.
The newspapers agree in stating that
the flow of gold to America must be
stopped.
The st. James Gazette says: Ac-
cording to exchange experts, even the
present rate does not allow a margin
of profit to shippers so that a premium
on gold is evidently paid in New York
by those who are SO nervous in regard
to the political situation as to insist
upon boarding gold. This is a. striking
comment on the cOck-sureness of the
Republicans anent the defeat of Bry-
an. 1t is also obvious that the very
rapid advance in wheat adds consider
ably to the power of the Americans to
draw upon the European gold supply
and unless the directors of the bank
are prepared to allow the reserve to
suffer a. further large diminuitiOn a
rise in the rate tomorrow may be
counted on as certain. So far as we
can judge. however, the amount of the
reserve tomorrow will be 25 500 900
pounds and when we deduct the sum of
40 600 600 which has to be set aside
against the Japanese balance the total
is none too large. considering the au-
tumn Withdrawals to Scotland, just as
a beginning. The stock exchange was
fully prepared for a rise in the bank
rate last week, so there viii be no sud
den collapse in prices
The Globe says: Whether the wheat
advance proceeds from the manipula-
tiOns of millionaire Republicans, or
from natural causes the event cuts the
ground from under Bryan's feet.

II think it is another instance which

FOREST FIRES
Endanger Large Amount Of
Property at Sandwich.
Even Teams Obliged to Make Haste
to Escape the Flames.
Spreading in All 0irections-The Loss will
Be Very Heavy.

Sandwich Mass, April 16.-Forest
fires are raging fiercely all around, the
town are gaining great Roadway i'll
spite of the efforts of the large force of
fighters. Forestdale. one of the viii
lagos of Sandwich, was. this morning.
entirely surrouded by flames. 1t was
due to the efforts of Fire Warden Per-
cival and others that the summer resi-
denccs of Mr. Stedman of Boston was
saved No buildings have yet burned
and no lives are lost. Judging from the
direction the fire is taking at the pres
ent, several houses in the village of
East Sandwich may receive scorch-
ing.
AT the other end. of the fire in the
W. stern part of the town the flames
have approached within a few miles of
the boundary lines and are making very
rapid progress. 1t will be impossible
to control the fire. today.
The fact that the teams which con-
vey the workmen to the different parts
of the fire are obliged to move with the
utmost haste to escape being caught
by the flames. gives some idea of the
rapidity with which the fire is spread
ing and the amount of damage done
thereby. 1t is spreading in every di
rection apparently at the same time.
The loss of woodland will be greater
by far than ever before.
go p. M.-Word has just been re-
ceived that the summer residence of
DR. Vessel Hoefft in Sandwich, was
burned. The residence of James Lowell
caught fire but the flames were ex-
tingushed.
Al midnight the fire was still gaining
and had burned over several thous-
acres of land.
