SOME ANXIETY IS NOTED
Rumors Of impending Finan-

Apprehension.
Bank of England Raises the
Rate on Loans to Protect
Its Reserve.

LONDON, July 15.-Business in 'fnan-
eial circles is considerably checked,
owing to anxiety as to the future, the
remarkable reticence maintained in all
quarters, the scarcity of money and the
recent large sale of consols. A block of
81 600, 900 isreported to have been sold
Wednesday. To add to the apprehension
this is the season when the provinces
require more money than usual in con-
nection with the activity of trade. But,
nevertheless, bankers and others are
keeping large surplus balances for
emergency purposes. Rumors are cur
rent of impending financial difficulties,
and in the circumstances It is not sur
prising that banks and others are act
ing with more than usual precaution
just now in keeping surplus balances

TO PROTECTlTs RESERVE.

Rates on Loans.

Bank of England Compelled to Advance
Rates on Loans.
LONDON, July 15.-The Statist, in its
editorial on the money outlook, says:
The Bank of England has raised the
bank rate from 3 to 81 per cent and to
41aper cent for short advances. This
step was practically forced upon the
bank by further heavy reductions in the
reserves of the New York banks from
29,00O,00O to e1,O00,000. This reduc-
ton not only makes further gold ship
ments from the United States out of
the question, but brought London face
to face with the possibility of New
York taking money from Europe SO
soon as wheat begins to move freely.
The continued outflow Of cash into
the country, the French competition
for gold in the London market, the ina
bility Of the Bank of England to obtain
gold abroad to greater extent than is
necessary to meet interior requirements
and the ability Of Japan to take gold
away if she requires it-these are all
additional factors for protecting the
bank reserve. Since June Is, the re-
serve has declined by about 5000, 900.

SAN Francisco, July 15.-The officers
of the Second Oregon, while very
guarded in their statements, admit that
the condition of the American troops at
the outbreak of hostilities between the
United States and Filipinos was very
critical.
The capture Of letter from outside
our lines in Manila to an emissary of
Aguinaldo is probably all that saved
our army from terrible disaster and
possible humiliation. The letter was
taken to General Otis, who found in it
details Of plot to open the gates OF
Manila, sack the city, murder the
guards and allow the insurgent army tc
pour into the American camps and sur.
prise the men. United States troops
were under arms all night to meet the
expected attempt, but the enemy had
learned of the capture of the letter and

graphs which can be bought so cheap
ly in Paris or Rome, could order them
by letter and receive them by post. Now
they must come by express at an ex-
pense utterly out of proportion to their
value or size. Domestic express rates
on small packages are exorbitant, but
rates between the United States and
Europe are almost prohibitive for the
little things that naturally go into the
mail-box in domestic as well as foreign
intercourse. Now, instead of sending
an article that perhaps costs 81 abroad
for . cents, people are to be compelled
to pay possibly so cents for transport
tation. Add to this the duty, which is
the same in both cases, and the cost
of the article in New York, Is made ut
terly unreasonable. With express
charges disproportiontely high for
small articles, there is no sense in the
government depriving it's citizens of
their one chance to obtain trifes without
paying more than they are worth for
carriage.
1t will probably be said that this re-
gulation is made to facilitate the col
lection of duties. Perhaps some goods
it is much to be doubted If the addition
al revenue to be obtained by sending
everything through the custom-house
will at all compensate for the annoy
ance it will cause. Customs officers are
already employed to inspect the mails.
The importation of books by mail is
still permitted. Why cannot the in
spectors examine other things as well?
Non-Ilutiable packages are allowed in
the mail, yet they must be overlooked
to see that they are not dutiable. The
dutiable goods honestly imported
through tn postoffice can be dealt with

to drop an official card to person tell
ing him to call on the inspector and
show and pay duty on package of
gloves or roll of photographs address,
ed to him as to send him a similar no.
tice concerning book. The only suf-
ferer from such consultation Of the
comfort of the public would be, so far
as is apparent, the eXpressman. Nat
urally, he would like to get lot of
fifty-cent pieces for doing what this
and other governments do for a few
cents. If the object is to break up all
the petty traffic between Europe and
this country, to compel a seeker for
to go to an agent and pay
a high price for an unsatisfactory Sc
lection from a limited stock, the meas
ure will doubtless be effective. But the
people whose business and social con-
venience are thus interfered with be-
yond all measure of their money loss
would seem to be entitled to some con-
sideration. Our foreign as well as our I

AN OPPRESSIVE RULING.

1t would be interesting to know the
real motives which have inspired the
recent treasury department ruling pro-
hibiting the importation by mail of all
dutiable articles except books. If it is
mot a case of express companies going
into politics, it would be well to give
the public some explanation which
would satisfy them of the necessity for
the oppressive restriction on their COM
merce.
A large volume of petty business
across the Atlantic has long been done
through the mails. The postoffice is a
great and almost essential convenience
for travellers having small parcels to
