in those operations was. IL anything. that

in view of the further developments point

The sentiment of Wall street for the mo-

may take place, they are not near at hand.
and hence that the fear of what may hap
pen because of them is premature. In cal
culating the gold export or import point,
II must Ice borne In mind that the various
foreign exchange houses in this market
have means cf varying power for shipping
or import ing coin and bullion, and that
what some might consider "A profitable
basis for either an export or an import
operation others might not find it so.
Spectators for the rise scout the entire
idea Of gold exports As absurd and de-
clare that if they really draw near some
thing will be done" by the large in

something is, it obviously will not be an
