AFTER DEATH IN ARABIA.


He who died at AEON sends
This to comfort all his friends:
Faithful friends! it lies, know,
Pale and white and cold as snow,
And we say, Abdallah's dead,
Weeping at the feet and head
| can see your falling tears,
| can hear your signs and prayers,
Yet / smile and whisper this
II am not the thing We kiss;
Cease your tears, and let it lie,
1t was mine, it is not t.
Sweet friendsi What the women lave,
For the last bed of the grave,
Is tent which / am quitting,
Is a garment no more fitting,
Is a cage from which, at last,
Like hawk my soul hath passed.
Love the inmate, not the room
The wearer not the garb-the plume
Of the falcon, not the bars
Which kept him from these splendid
stars.
Loving friends, be wise and dry
Straightway every weeping eye;
What We lift upon the bier
Is not worth a wistful tear;
IT'S an empty seashell-one
Out of which the pearl is gone;
And the shell is broken, it lies there;
The pearl, the soul, the all, is here.
'FNic NJ az rt hon ioY whose lid
Allah sealed the while it hid
That treasure Of his treasury,
A mind that loved him; let it lie,
Let the shard be earth's once more,
Since the gold shines in his store!
Allah glorious! Allah good!
Now thy word is understood;
Now the long, long wonder ends;
Yet We weep, my erring friends,
While the man whom We call Dead
In unspoken bliss instead
Lives and loves you! lost, It's true,
BY such light as shines for you;
But in light We cannot see
Of unfulfilled felicity,
In charging Paradise,
Lives life that never dies.
Farewell, friends! Yet not farewell.
Where am, We, too, shall dwell;
am gone before your face,
A moments time. a little space.
When We come where l have stepped,
Ye will wonder why We wept;
Ye will know, by wise love taught,
That here is all, and there is naught!'
Weep awhile, if We are fam
Sunshine still must follow rain;
Only not at death-for death,
Now I know, is that first breath
Which our soul when we enter
Life which is of all life center.
Be We certain all seems love,
Viewed from Allah's throne above;
Be We stout of heart, and come
Bravely onward to your home!
La Allah lila Allah! Yea!
Thou love divine! Thou love Away!
He that died at Azan gave
This to those who made his grave.

THE MARKETS OF EUROPE.
London Opinion on the Export of
Gold Ia America

LONDON. Aug, 31.-There was very
general buying of American securities
here today. and prices closed well above
your closings of yesterday.
Mine shares were also strong, mostly on
Paris buying, with Rands and Rio Tintos
up 4 each from yesterday. The general
market was firm. Dis cunt rates again
grew easier.
The time of the year when gol1 exports
to America have frequently begun is now
approaching. Yet there is no indication
as yet in this market of such engage
ments. Financial opinion here is to the
effect that so large total sum of gold
has already been sent on London orders
to America from Australia and the Klon-
dixie that only very moderate shipments
are likely to come from here direct. The
Bank of England holds a fairly large
amount of American gold eagles, and is
not likely to place any serious obstacles
in the way of Withdrawals of, say a mil
lion sterling for New York. But this will
be later on.
AS for the recent European buying of
wheat, which has had much to do with
the fall in New York exchange, 1t must
be said that the movement was undoubt-
edly overdone. At present, Continental
buyers have temporarily retired from the
market. The present amount of wheat
afloat for the United Kingdom is much
the largest in seven years. though the
famine year fell within that period
1t is fully recognized here however that
the Argentine and Australian crops have
not started very well. The harvest in
France, on the other hand, has finished
with excellent weather and with better
results than had been Anticipated The

A POOR BANK STATEMENT.
New lork's Weekly Figures Show
Large Loss in Reserve.
Cash Holdings decrease More Than
SG.OOO.OOO s.nnd Loans Expand
Over S!.OOO,C0O - The Exchanges
Closed Three Days - The Outlook.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-As the stock ex-
change was closed today, the only local
financial event OF any moment was the
publication of the bank statement, which
comported closely with yesterdays predic-
tions of a heavy loss in cash, the de-
crease being s6.235 lCo. Some surprise. how
ever. was occasioned by the large loan
expansion of $73ig 200
Another important feature in the eXhib-
it was an Increase in circulation of $l,OS9.-
500 which shows that the banks are ac-
lively employing their notes in connection
with the interior drain of money. The de-
post liabilities are but slightly changed,
the figures showing a liquidation of-2f,-
400. In consequence of this, the loss in
surplus reserve Is nearly the same as
that in cash, say s6.22s,175 This reduces
the excess above the legal limit to 81 ,yl9,-
925, an amount far below that held last
year. when the figures We're s27,O7S.i75. and
but little above the excess of two years
ago, which was S9.l9l $50.
The loss in cash was the outcome of
the continued absorption of money by
the Treasury, ana the calling home of
large amount of Western balances at this
point. chiefly by Chicago banks. The
further accumulation of money in the
Treasury was due to falling off in Gov
ernment expenditures as the receipts
from internal revenue are beginning to
show some of the reduction anticipated
under the revised law. Money was want
ed by the West. not alone for harvest pur-
poses. but for active trade conditions
which exist at all leading centres The
weekly trade reports emphasize this point,
and the August traffic returns of the rail-
roads further attest the great volume of
internal trade.
The increase in loans cannot be as clear
ly defined as the loss in cash. The strain
upon the loan account of the banks this
week was greatly relieved by the free
borrowing of exchange, mainly sterling
bills. This exchange was sold on the
market to procure funds. and answered
the double purpose of depressing sterling
and reducing bank loans. as many out
standing obligations were paid off with
the proceeds. Through this process,
money has been obtained by borrowers
more cheaply than ii could be secured in
the open market for time contracts.
The bank statement figures were as fol-
lows:
