EXCHANGE AND GOLD.

Increased strength displayed yesterday by
the foreign exchange market For demand ster-
ling for next Tuesdays steamer 4SS was bid The
supply of bills reported small, and there
were no offerings below ASA From expressions
of opinion it appeared that bankers were not
agreed to the probable effect the new British
Exchequer loan would have upon the foreign ex-
change market. 1t was believed by some that gold
exports would result. Others took different view
of the matter. They pointed out that the terms Of
the loan easy. and that gold exports de-
pended largely upon what proportion of the loan
allotted to American investors II the allOt-
ment should be large, gold might be sent abroad
1t suggested. however, that grain bills were
beginning the market and cotton bills
would appear. 1t might be necessary to resort
to the shipment of gold. The general notion seems
to be that the American subscriptions to the Brit
ish loan will entail, at least result in, the
portation of somewhere in the neighborhood of
$O,OO0OOO In gold This amount Is comparatively
small and can be spared with ease.

The long looked for activity in Western iron and

its operations mainly to bar material. though a
number OF other products have been greatly bene-
flied 1t noted week ago that bars had
become quite active and the statement be re-
peated this week with fourfold emphasis.
Lhicago is the great market for bars of iron and
steel for hoops and bands and similar products
throughout the entire West. Consuming manu-
facturers between Ohio and the Pacific Coast buy
here and their annual needs considerably more
than half a million tons. Users who did not buy
for twelve months needs bought for three and
six months.
Some large inquiries still in the market. but
OF necessity trade of the magnitude cannot
long continue. and values are hardening and
strengthening Inquiry for pig iron has quickened.

SATISFACTORY CONDITIONS.

Secretary Booth of the Denver and Rio Grande
Railroad makes the following statement: ~
While the statement for June showing an increase
in gross earnings OF $4,000 must be considered
satisfactory, it is not better than have been do
ing right along for some months past. For June
comparison is made with month last year, when
the mining industry seriously affected by a
strike, which resulted in the closing down of nearly
all the Smelters. Now however mining is in full
blast and the industry is very prosperous, Our
large earnings the result of good general bust
ness though perhaps the coal movement shows
most Improvement The amount of coal moving IS
enormous The outlook for continued good earnings
is very bright the State Of Colorado is enjoying
of prosperity unprecedented in its history.

along the lower Yukon river not a

entirely deserted. Sixteen deaths had

ing Steadily.
Galveston, Tex, Sept. 19.-The work
of clearing the streets Of debris and
wreckage is progressing steadily and
with systematic rapidity. The mili-
tary authorities have gradually i'm
proved the system so that there Is
comparatively no interruption and de-
lay in the undertaking. The report
filed at Gen. Scurry's headquarters up
to o'clock last night reported the dis
position of forty-five bodies yesterday
A News reporter, however, noted the
finding of 100 bodies of women and
children. Health Officer Wilkinson
stated that 40 per cent of the debris
of every description had been removed
from the streets, that 95 per cent of
the dead bodies had been disposed OF
and that 95 per cent of the carcasses
of animals had been removed. But as
the work of removing the debris goes
on more bodies are being unearthed
every hour. There is still an immense
amount of wreckage to be gone over.
A hopeful feature of the situation is
the rapid progress being made by the
railroads in their efforts to restore
communication by rail. The Santa Fe
has reached Texas City with its tracks
and it is announced that trains will
enter the union depot here on Thurday.
