ly to increase the service. The water

interviewed by the London correspondent
of the Word relative to the election in

The governor Of the Bank of England,
Samuel Stewart Gladstone, said: The
Bank of England never gives opinions,
but my personal views you are welcome
to. McKinley's election must ave a
healthy effect, both financially n
politically l consider it, in the first
place. as a great security for the peace
Of the world. Here. undoubtedly, the be-
lief has been that if Bryan were elected.
1t might mean disturbance n unsettle-
ment in the financial world. Now we
may look to revival of business and a
strengthening of American securities"
Hon Francis Barring, the working chief
of the firm of Barring Bros, said: 1.-THE
good effect of Mckinley's election has
been already reflected in the American
market, where prices have hardened
greatly. I believe that it will increase
confidence and that business will neces-
sarily improve. English capital will be
more freely invested in American Sc
