As the week approaches its close, all
attention throughout Europe is concen-
tratod on the money market. 1t is the
general belief that up to the 10Th of No
yember, when the new loan is to be float
ed in Paris. the French demands for gold
are likely To continue. After that date, II
is not improbable that Paris money rates
will decline.
There have. moreover, been other iniiu-
ences at work on the Paris market than
Frances own loan. The recent dear
money movement at that city has beeh
/ largely due to Russia's success IN OBTAIN
/ ing installment payments on the last loan
raised in FranCe-payments which, und' T
ordinary circumstances, would not ha"4
been made until the new year. This par
ticular demand, however, has now ceased.
As for last Thursdays rise in the Bank
of England rate, that is regarded, in the
best circles here, as q highly proper pre-
caution. Even under ordinary conditions,
the bank would be likely TO lose another

A strong impression has grown of late
that New Yorks financial activities have
been financed too cheaply by Europe dur
ing the past year The balance of inter
national trade as between America and
Europe, is as usual much obscured by
conflicting movements; but the conyic-
ti0n has gained strength of late that the
real net balance is against America. just
Low, however, Americas $ agricultural ex-
ports are apparently altering that posi-
ton
our own situation undoubtedly needs
careful handling. Indications are already
visible that France is buying bills here,
in spite Of our higher rates The double
effect OF these purchases is to neutralize
the influence Of the banks advance in

A TAX ON DIAMONDS.
Proposed Duty May Ruin the Eng.

The Financial News" states. on semi
official authority, that, on the initiative
OF The Chancellor Of the EXchequer, en-
auries have been instituted among Lon
don diamond brokers regarding the foa>-
iblity and probable effect of a 10 per cent
import tax ON diamonds.
The annual output of the De Beers syn
diCatg is estimated at EiOt0.pJO and, with
the added importation Of diamonds from
Brazil and elsewhere. would easily pro-
ducc sum 10 per cent of which would

THE principal effect Of such movement

that the diamonds would cease to come

Continent instead.

Saturdays Game with The
GeraIds.

Last Saturday afternoon The Gerald
ball team of Fairfield crossed bats with
Skowhegan's newly organized aggrega-
ton of ball tossers, and the large audi
ence out to witness the game, saw as
good ball playing for six innings as has
been witnessed at Fairyiew Park for
many years. AS the visitors were play.
ing their inns in the seventh a man who
was running home failed to reach the
goal in safety and was declared out by
the umpire, at which decision, although
Just and right, the substitute manager in
charge, exhibited a most unbecoming
temper, called his men from the field
and the game thus came to a sudden
and unwarranted termination, much to
the regret and disgust of the audience
In justice to the visitors, however, we
feel that had their regular manager, Mr.
Nye, been with his team such an exhibi.
ton of "boys play would not have
taken place. IL certainly was unwar-
ranted by the facts and to be deplored.
AS near as we are able to size up the
affair in its entirety, the facts are these ::
The Geralds are a firstcass ball team
had not met defeat this season up to
that time, and having strengthened their
team by two firstclass men from other
parts of the State since their previous
games, they came here with feeling of
certainty as to the outcome. This, they
found was not to be-that in the Show
hegans they had met their superiors.
After but two innings had been played
such was apparent to tho audience,
and visitors as we'll, and then it was
their point to "kick" at the umpire. To
be sure there were many close decisions,
but the visitors got all that was coming
to them, and we regret that the team
was not under proper management.
The following schedule tells the his
tory of the game as far as played:
