swindIe, gro wing out of the gold and silver
enthusiasm was practiced at Benton last
evening. Two men, who appeared to be
strong silver and gold advocates, were u
the central depot and became involved in a
heated discussion. The gold man offered
to bet a gold double eagle that If he ham
mered the coin into a shapeless massit would
stiil be worth $40. He was Ostensibly
taken up by the silver advocate, but when
it came to selling the lump to Jeweler Roth,
the store was closed. James Haserty, a
strong sound money advocate, who stood
by and who had Implicit faith in the value
Of gold, gave the man $50 for the battered
coin. The two enthusiasts disappeared
shortly after, and then II was discovered
that the metalleft by them was spurious.

London BANKERS Expect a Further
Draft From the United States.


Draft From the United States.
London, Sept IA representative of the
United Associated Press, as tile result OF
inquiries among leading London bankers and
financiers, learns that the bankers generally
are in expectation that a further draft for
gold will be made upon Great Britain by the
United States. but none ofthem will venture
to estimate the extent Of the draft
As to a further increase Of the Bank
of England's rate Of discount, there is no
doubt that the bank will raise its rate
to per cent in the event of any large drain
of gold from England, and it certainly would
not require a drain as large as &c 600 ,0O0,
the SUM which it was reported yesterday
might be reached, to cause a rise in the dis
count rate.
The Statist, In an article on the situation,
says: Nobody can foresee how large the
American drain Of gold will be. but pru-
dent bank directors will lose no time In
makiag their discount rate effective"

Curiosity led me to inquire where this

that a greater part of it is performed in
