LONDON MONEY MARKET.
Shipments Of American Gold to Europe
Are Because New York Money
Market Is the Cheapest
In the World.

NEW YORK, May THE Times
London financial correspondent cables:
Does it not seem an anomaly that gold
should be leaving New York for Paris
at a time when, according TO your
statistical returns, the balance Of your
foreign trade is more in your favor
than at any previous period Of history?
Money is doubtless cheaper in New
York than in any other great market
in the world at present, but it is also
cheaper in Paris than here or in Ger
many.
BY what used to be considered the
law governing the movements Of bull
lion-that 1t tended to flow from cheap
markets to dear ones-London or Ber-
lin should have attracted the metal
from New York sooner than Paris.
No change happened here during the
week just passed, although yesterday
credits were S% per cent. Discount,
however, held hard at four per cent
or more, and the Bank of England has
continued to do a huctuating discount
business. The market, too, had to bor-
row the main part of the installments
due on Thursday on the "Khakis."
Not only is the market without
means Of its own to pay up the war
loan but it cannot subscribe to any
other forms Of public issues except on
terms our spoiled borrowers still re-
fuse to concede.
Quite a scare was produced in the
home railway stock on Friday by the
announcement that the Midland and
Welsh coal proprietors intend to raise
the price Of coal to railway compan-
les by 80 per cent on new contracts.
Copper shares and metal prices wob-
bled considerably last week and our
bears are hoping against hope that
your manipulators are at last about to
throw up the sponge.

ATLANTIC LINER WRECKED.
British Steamer Reports the Loss Of a
Large Steamer at Sea.

CHICAGO. May IA special to the
Record from Philadelphia, says;
Captain Campbell, Of the British
steamer Tenby which arrived at Phila-
delphia today from Port Said. brings
an account OF wreckage at sea which
is causing great anxiety among ship
ping men. The captain believes a mar
itime disaster has occurred. involving
the loss Of an Atlantic liner. The Ten
by fell In with the werckage mentioned
at a point west Of the mid-Atlantic
and the lookouts observed bark fly
ing distress signals but it was too far
off and the sea too rough for the
steamer to render assistance.
Toward sunset on April so. when the
Tenby was steaming slowly westward
against heavy seas the lookout report
ed that her path was obstrueted by
floating timbers and spars for con-
siderable distance ahead. Captain
Campbell himself saw portions Of a
deck house, pieces Of pIanking SEEM
ingly from a vessels hull and many
minor objects. all Of which seemed to
have been in the water only a short
time. There were steamer chairs and
other fine furniture not generally car
ried by freight steamers. Night closed
in as the Tenby resumed her voyage
Captain Campbell said today that il
the vessel was in need Of assistance
she was in favorable position to re-
ceive it. Her situation was directly in
the track Of shipping between New
York and the Equator
He did not connect the wreckage
passed with the bark in question. but
many who heard the story are inclined
to the opinion that the bark collided !
with and sunk another craft Of which |
only the wreckage remains. The bark
is south Of the path of Atlantic liners
and If the vessel. which is supposed |
to have been lost is really an ocean
greyhound she must have been far out |
Of her course when the collision oc-
Cured. On the other hand. the wreck
age is directly in the line of the craft
which ply between the northern ports
and those Of South America
The locality of the wreckage is given
on her log book at latitude 81 north,
and between longitude 50 and 55 west
The next day. May /. the bark was
seen apparently in distress. She was
large four masted vessel. painted
slate color and had several signals out.
Soon after she was sighted she dis
appeared in the fog.

CALIFORNIA OIL OUTPUT.
That. state Now Ranks Fourth in the
Volume Of Petroleum Pro-
duction.

SAN FRANCISCO. May THE out
put of oil in California has increased
from 1.245,12S barrels in 1895 to 2,2S2,-
1913 barrels in 1899. The prospect is
that the output for the present year
will be much larger than that Of 1899.
California now ranks fourth among the
states in the Union in petroleum pro-
duction.
One significant feature Of the ell dis
coveries in the state is that they will
put California on an equality with
other states in the Union as far as the
fuel question goes.
The estimate has been made that
three and one-half barrels Of Califor-
mia petroleum are equal to one ton Of
coal.

There is a steady tendency in this
country towards an extravagant gov
eminent. 1t even reaches the colleges
and universities. 1t costs two and a
half times more or even three times,
now to attend a year at Princeton un-
iversity than it did to attend a year at
the university of North Carolina in the
forties and fifties. We see it stated
that the average expenditures at
Princeton during the -four years of the
class just graduating were: Freshmen
year., s662.43; Sophomore year., s7O2;
Junior year, s731.52. and Senior year,
$751; 80. This is information of value to
persons who contemplate a college
course, but are in doubt whether they
can afford it. In addition, it is noted
that SO out of the 203 members of the
class supported themselves, wholly OIL
partially. You could get excellen,

university for four years now on ar
average.

The great north was sweating and
sweltering under the extreme hot
weather of last week. The temperature
was not high any where, but it was hot.
The cause was general humidity. The
air was full of moisture. When that is
the case it is always very hot, and the
p~erspiration will flow freely even when
the thermometer registers but Is. In
Washington, the Post says there were
1000 women who are employed in the
census office who suffered very much.
Last Thursday the hottest town in the
United States was Salt Lake City. The
record was 100 degrees in the shade
Whenever it is cloudy, more or less,
look out for humidity. and that brings
