MONEY MARKET FACTORS.

Foreign bankers expect TO ship large amount of
gold to Paris by to-morrow's steamer. The total
engagements may exceed $1,000 600 but money
rates DO not Indicate any change in favor of the
lender. In fact, if anything. are tending
lower OF course, a continued large movement of
the metal abroad would naturally cause an advance
IN money rates. which, In turn. would check gold
to high rates, however, and they continue to com
plain Of ruling low quotations Borrowing Of
money IN sterling collateral continues and il is
estimated that the local banks have upward Of
S40000000 outstanding in loans Of this character.
Such borrowing represents advances to European
bankers for the purpose of deferrng trade settle
ments due this country. In January 1898 the
banks did large amount of business In sterling
loans. but it is believed that the present movement
will be even heavier. In the last few weeks loans
of the associated banks have increased $50 500
and the greater part OF the gain has been due TO
borrowing against sterling exchange collateral 1t
Is evident that sterling collateral loans reflect an
enormous trade balance in favor of this country
and 1t is easy to that yhe settlement OF this
balance is bound to be accompanied by heavy gold
imports later on in the year. So much sterling ax-
change has been pledged against loans that the
markets supply Of bills has become limited and in
consequence rates have advanced TO the gold ex-
porting point. With easy money here and high
rates abroad and a scarity OF bills gold ex-
ports have become possible. Money continues 10

practically no demand for accommodation from

stones Calling assistance, he charged
the crowd, and after a chase of some
squares succeeded in placing Walter
Collins ana Peter Smith under arrest

Shortly afterwards Collins effected
escape by burrowing out of his cell
and going out through the open
door. He was again captured, and
became so abusive and violent that he
had TO be put In chains for safety and
a gag slipped into his mouth.
Collins has quite a bad reputation
for one who ishardly grown, and is pos
