A representative OF the banking house of
Barring. Magoun & Co. OF the British war ltDan
underwriting syndicate. was one of the ca I'll est
callers yesterday morning at the Assay CD Ice,
ana he asked for 81 100000 in gold bars for
shipment to England Later IN the day 1t was
announced that the firm had increased it's gold
engagements for export to $5,o00OO0, but last
night this was officially denied by the firm It

These two shipments are likely to go on

Tected, IT VIII probably go the st. Paul
The lowering of the exchange rate gave the
experts ground for predicting that outside OF
what was needed for the bond issue there nuld
probably not be any shipments OF gold to Great
Britain until the rates were again raised
II seems that there were other calls at the
Assay Office for gold bars for shipment day
and tomorrow, but the applicants were told
that 100000 had already been engaged, and
that there was some doubt about the physical
possibility OF getting any more gold ready for
shipment in time for the steamer tomorrow
