TWELVE TONS or GOLD.

The statement that a Chicago bank
moved si2,000,000 In gold from one
set Of vaults TO another last Saturday
did moi excite any particular interest
or comment. Such sums as this are
considered by the American Of this
generation In a matter-of.fact man.

But to any that this bank transferred
twelve tons Of gold appeals 70 even
the nineteenth century imagination.
And the fact that this twelve tons
of gold coin Is more than the total
amount Or specie contained In the
banks or Illinois, Indiana, Michigan,
Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota at the
beginning of the Civil war. gives
abundant room for reflection on the
wonderful increase lii wealth Of the
country during the past fifty years,
This one Chicago bank, says the

vaults now than all the banks OF
Philadelphia had In January. 1861, and
$4,000. 900 more than all The banks Of
Boston, and o~ne-fourth as much rs

where II could not easily be detected.
Now we have very largely liquidated
these foreign loans, SO that our finan-

ment. That Illuminating document

their exhibits In this respect; and yet
1t Is important to bear In mind that
the situation Is much better than such
comparisons with last year suggest.
The wholesale liquidation of the past
eleven months has materially cut
down the over extension Of credit
which then existed.
Activity has been chiefly centered
upon railroads which are doing a prof
liable business, or upon those roads
where the growth Of traffic gives an
additional element Of strength. Shrewd
investment buyers. who look for lower
rates Of interest before very long,
have quietly absorbed very consider
able amounts of better class railroad
shares. which were unduly depressed
by forced liquidation. This rendered
upward manipulation the more easy.
At the higher prices there was con

to increase as the rise progresses.
though thus far II has failed to check
the more hopeful feeling which is do

confined TO the stock market. Cotton
