ratification of the Peace Treaty the ques
tion of the methods by which the Govern
ment will transmit to Spain the $40 000, 900
indemnity provided in the Treaty becomes
interesting. 1t was suggested today that
the Government might adopt the plan of
taking the gold out of the Treasury and
shipping it direct to Spain. an operation,

OF the foreign exchange market would re-
suit in a loss of about $i20,O 1t seems
much more probable that the matter will
be handled in the ordinary business way

in this country, of an amount of exchange
sufficient TO cover the transaction.
London spectators apparently were
favorably impressed by the conclusion of
the Spanish war, for the arbitrage houses
bought about $4,000 shares of stocks on
this market and the London market for
American stocks was shown at substan-
tial gains from the local closing These
