The sugar beet industry is to be re-
vived in Kansas. The Parkinson sugar

been acquired by an Iowa corporation
and the work of making sugar from
beets will be inaugurated as soon as
practicable
While the company is preparing for
this important undertaking sorghum
syrup will be manufactured from kan
sas cane.
The sugar beet industry has long
been classed as an important one in
Kansas but nisfortunes which attended
the early experiences had a depressing
effect upon its promoters and little or
nothing has been done in this direction
for several years
The most important establishment for
the manufacture of sugar was the
Parkinson works at Fort Scott. This
enterprise has been idle for a long time
but the machinery is now being put IN
working order, the land upon which
the plant is situated and the plant itself
having passed into the hands Of the

GOLD COMING IN.
Makes London Financiers Feel a
Little Easier.

New York, June 1S.-The Times Lon
don financial correspondent cables:
The bank reserve is a little better on
the week, thanks to the return Of coin
and notes from internal circulation, but
not much. In fact, it is not appreciably
stronger than at the beginning of this
year, when the bank rate was s per cent
and the open market was only buying
the finest paper ahoat, in the neighbOr-
hood of 7 per cent
The shipments of gold from New York
to Paris encouraged the directors to
look for relief from the demands for our
gold and the expected receipt Of $500
000 of metal from Russia, known to be
on the way, further encouraged them
to take the step Even without these
gold movements it might have been ad-
visable to come down, because the open
market had gradually been depressed to
a figure fully l per cent below the BIZ
per cent bank rate
