traders have been inclined to be bearish.
They have realized the strength of values,

cautious 10 take mucn advantage of the

THE LOCAL STOCK EXCHANGE.
Business in the local stock exchange
has beer little brighter this week. Inc
very satisfactory result of the election
has brought out more money and there
has been greater demand for invest
mcnts than at any time for several
months. The local bank stocks have all
sold we'll and there has been quite little
demand for Narraganset Electric Light
and Providence Gas Company securities.
There has also been q ute little inquiry
for American Screw and Providence
telephone Company stock.
As the result of this general demand
prices have averaged higher anu another
prosperous week is anticipated unless
something should occur to alter the
present healthy condition of affairs.

LET DOWN EASY.

 How Fair Guest Dlvined the Governors Intentions
 When Mir. Tilden was occupying the gubernatorial chair of the state of New York and had under consideration the appointment of a judge friend of Judge Pccizha1n, who was candidate for the place, was urging the judges claim, and bcscught the assistance of lady, who at that time happened to be visitor at the gubernatorial mansion. Although at that time everything seemed reasonably to indicate the ap- pointment of Judge Peckham, the lady assured her questioner that his candi- date had no chance whatsoever. Sure enough, another man was appointed, and in the course of time it came about that Gov. Tilden learned of the surpris- ing prescience of his fTir guest. He asked her how she was able to divine his intentions so clearly in regard to this particular man. ''Why," she said, ''that was not difficult. You brought him home to dinner one day and that of itself made me suspect. Then at the table you set before him your choice Johan- nisberg wine, and knew from that mo- ment that he had no chance of appoint ment. The man who has your Johan- nisberg is to be let down easy.'

A BAD IMPRESSION.

The Albany Journal enters just protest against some of the features in Lii Hung Chang's5 late reception. Ever since it was known the Chinese statesman proposed to visit the United States, dispatches eihave been coming from Washington bearing the intelligence that the administration in order to impress" the visitor from the Orient, proposed to assemble all available war vessels in the harbor of New York.
 It was supposed that Ii Hung Chang would go on deck as the St. Louis steamed up the bay, and seeing the American fleet would be so jim pressed" with the greatness and fe- rocity of the great American nation that he would do everything in his power to appease this mighty people, and would offer them contracts and privileges without number.
 These dispatches regarding the for midable fleet became so numerous that they were probably repeated to the Chinese statesman At any rate as the St. Louis went, up the bay Li Hung Chang remained in the saloon. The guns of the New York thundered and he made no sign. The whistles of the steamers that filled the bay shrieked and roared, but Ii Hung Chang never smiled. Castle William fired a salute, but still he said noth- ing. Evidently he did not propose to be impressed" as had been intended by the statesmen at Washington.
 When General Grant visited China, he was received by L Hung Chang with the highest honors, but when the great Chinamam comes to the United States, the cheapest kind of effort is made to impress him.

HOW WE GET GOLD.

A subscriber wants to know what Kind of money is used in, purchasing the gold which is being imported from Europe.
 No money is paid Foreign business is carried on by a system of bills of exchange, issued by large banking houses with establishments on both sides of the water. When the bal ance of trade is largely and continu- ally in favor of. Europe for consid- erab1e time it becomes necessary to square accounts by shipping gold from America When the conditions are re- versed it is necessary to ship it back E0r the same reason.
 It is impossible for the general pub ic to know anything about the condi- tfon of this trade balance. From re- ports issued by the government it can be ascertained how the balance stands as regards commodities, but so many American securities are sold back and forth of which the public has no knowledge that it is impossible for the Hninitiated to tell when gold is likely to go out or come in.
 During the greater portion of the past three years in which gold has been going out of the United States the balance of trade as regards commodi- ties has been in favor of this country. It is apparent, therefore, that Europe has been selling back American se- eurities at lower price than she paid for them. IA few years ago European capitalists invested heavily in Ameri- can securities and American industrial enterprises. These investments have not proved profitable. The capitalists of Europe with American investments have suffered from the gold standard and the consequent decline in values and earnings of property as we'll as those of this side.
 The change which has occurred in Che direction of the current of gold, in- dicates that Europe has unloaded about all the American securities that she cares to at present and the large balance of trade in favor of the United States now existing must be settled for in some other way. When Ameri- can bankers will take nothing else the gold must come.
 Foreign gold could not be purchased with money because there is no such thing as international money. When gold moves from one side of the At lantfc to the other it is weighed just as wheat is and is paid for by the party receiving it in paper paper mon- ey, for there is no such thing-but pa- per ito which somebody has signed his name
 There is no money in the United States but gold, if silver be regarded as being dependent upon gold for re-
