posted IN the Bank Of England to-day:
"rhe Secretary of State for India. in Coun-
ci gives notice that the galc of bills OF eX-
change on Calcutta. Bombay and Madras has
been suspended for a period of not less than

The Government has very little money In
India to draw on. as the famine and tho plague
have rendered the collection of taxes slow. and
the present time might he opportune to ac-
custom the Indians to the use of gold Instead
of silver though It would not have attempted
this had not the scarcity of money arisen.
The action Of the Indian Council attracted
slight notice in the afternoon newspapers ana
has not affected the rate of exchange. whch
is normal The Westminster Gazette, COM
menting on the subject says: THE decision

standard in India"
Washington, Sept 1.-Secretary Gage said
this afternoon that it would be hard mat
ter to draw an inference from the suspension
Of the sale OF bills of exchange. He said there

not to discuss the question. Mr.. preston, )i-
rector Of the Mint, and other Treasury oflcias
who keen up with the situation in India pre-
ferred not To discuss the question at this time
They, too thought that many reasons might

son advanced by several Treasury officials Is
that the suspension might have been ordered
to avoid the threatened export or Sold from
