A REcENT dispatch from New York
said that one of the first effects Of Mr..
McRinley's election is TO stimulate the
import trade, in anticipation of q high
tariff bill. Contingent orders were
placed In England and on the continent
weeks ago, and II Is probable that Eu-
ropean goods will be rushed into the
American market this winter In suf.
ficicnt quantities to meet the demand
for two or three years to come. II
the country should have high tariff
the importers will reap q harvest by
beating the bill and filing the bonded
warehouses with foreign goods within

PLENTY OF GOLD.

New YORK, Nov. l0.-Most bankers
here think the time has arrived when
the banks may safely resume the prac.
tice of furnishing gold for export and
for the payment of government dues.
Since February, 1902, very little gold
has been paid into the treasury in the
ordinary transaction OF business aud
when gold was required for export,
bankers have paid out government
notes, which were taken to the treas
ury to be redeemed In gold. For
four years there has been more or
less uncertainty as to whether the
currency of the country would he
maintained on a gold basis, and for
that reason banks have held TO their
gold. The leading bankers are of the
opinion that the election settled the
status Of the currency, and makes all
kinds Of money as good as gold.

PLANS OF THE wHEELMEN.
Series Of Circuits Proposed Instead of the
National Meets.

Series OF Circuits Proposed Instead OF the
National Meets.
The racing board of the League of
American Wheelmen tried the experiment.
of holding a national circuit of race meets
last year. That embraced tournaments IN
all parts of the country. The racing men
who took part in these races we're con-
stantly on the jump from city to city, and
ns result too much racing and travelling
had the tendency to make them unfit for
good performances early in the year.
A change in the circuit plan is needed
this year and will likely take place.
Chairman Gideon of the racing board
SAYS: 1T would be better to have series
of circuits, starting one in the west, one
in the south and another in the east, con-
verging to central point, which should
be the national meet of the league. From
there a combined circuit should be contin-
ued to, say, Oct. l."
Such a plan would meet with the gen.
eral approval of the racing men, and the
leading riders would not meet to try con-
illusions until the championship meetings,
which would add interest to these events.
The subject of a new circuit system is re-
ceiving widespread attention.
A prominent race promoter says: "The
new racing board should take Immediate
measures for doing away with racing on
the national circuit plan. Last years
WORK was not, on the WnOIe, SATISFACTORY
to the racing board or to the promoters.
The wear and tear on the men, combined
with the general results of the season,
made state of things at the end which,
If not bad, was certainly not what it
should have been.
American racing interests are very
large. A half dozen limited circuits could
be kept going throughout the season. A
New England circuit might be arranged,
with not more than three races a week,
from June until October, and others could
take in the middle states, the south, the
middle west and the Pacific coast. A sea-
sons sport laid out in this way would I'M
questionably receive the unqualified sup
port of the clubs, manufacturers and gen
eral public. 1t does not necessarily follow
that under a sectional circuit plan certain
sets of men would be confined to single
section through the season. New York
