EnRland Makes Gold Dear.

When the tide of gold GIBBS from the
shores OF Great Britain, there is only
one course open to the Bank of Eng
la&ld, says a London newspaper. It
raises the rate which it is willing to pay
for gold placed on deposit-in other
words, it makes gold dear in England
By this means persons having gold are
induced to allow it to remain in Eng
land, where it can earn higher rate of
interest than elsewhere.
An equally effective way Of keeping a
big reserve at the Bank Of England
would be to hold all gold received and
make payments in silver. This is done
by the Bank Of France, which in times
Of like emergency can pay in 5 franc
pieces. Fortunately or unfortunately the
Bank Of England is not allowed to take
''in,ilar action. It can only make gold
dear. s.....h
It is sometimes said that English SOW
ereigns, being of finer quality than con-
tinental golIpieces, are put into for,
cign melting pots and rechristened. This
is not frequently done. Like the Bank
Of England itself, the great banks Of
France and Germany often, store great
sums Of foreign money when it comes to
them at favorable rate Of exchange
and let it 60 again when a fair profit
can be made on the transaction. s zs III .5
