The unusually heavy shipments of gold
to Europe, which have taken place re-
Gently, appear to have caused no un-
easiness in financial circles. Henry
Clews discussing the subject in the
Financial Review says:
The feature of the week was the un-
usually heavy exports of gold, amount
ing to about $4,000. coo. If we are not
mistaken, these are record shipments
and they may have been stimulated by
preparations for payment for the Pana-
ma canal Aside from this special de-
mand, however, this is the season for
gold exports, and the recent decline in
our merchandise shipments foreshad-
owed an effiux of gold. There is every
probability of this movement continu-
ing for a period. and no surprise need
be expressed if we ship considerably
more gold this season than for several
years past The causes stimula ting
gold shipments just now are a dimiu-
ished trade balance. the Panama canal
payments and an increased foreign DE-
mand for gold resulting from the wa.
The first and last of these causes are
likely to continue for some time and
as the United States now holds an I'M
usually heavy supply of gold and our
bank reserves are high, we can look
upon the outflow of the precious metal
satisfaction, as it is simply going
where IT is most needed and where il
will accomplish the most good. The
total shipments thus far during this
movement have been about $18 600, 600.
and as considera BILE arrivals of Japa-
nese gold have been reported on the
Pacific coast our supply has not been
depleted by that much. The bulk of
this gold has gone to Paris, suggesting
preparations for the Panama payment,
though the reports of Russian loan
may have had something to do with
the rumor. Paris, however, is the chief
point of strain, outside of Russia and
Japan; for France has not only suffer-
ed severely from depression of Russian
bonds but is the most likely country
to furnish Russia further outside fin
ancial aid when needed

LATE ARRIVALS
FROM THE ORIENT

The steamship Tacoma, Captain Ridley,
arrived Saturday night from Oriental
ports. The vessels inward cargo is about
1000 tons of merchandise, including 200
bales of silk.
Among the frst-class passengers is Cap
tain Darke of the steamship Glenogle,
which vessel was sold to the japanese.
Thomas Houghton, another passenger, is
also returning to his New York home. He
was engaged in mining near Vladivostok,
and received notice from the Russian
government to move. He took the officials
at their word and started for home on the
Tacoma, the first boat he could get.
The sale of the ship comes as a surprise
to the crew, as they did not know of it
until they arrived here. AS soon as the
cargo of the Tacoma is discharged she
will be turned over to her new owners. the
Siberian and Alaskan shipping concerns.

NATURES HoUsEcLEANING.

Nature has hegun to clean houses. If
the housekeeper watches natures methods
she may learn something Of interest to her
own spring cleaning. First nature melts
her SHOWS and sends her rains to wash
away the dust and dirt and the winter
smoke and filth, Then she dries the earth,
flooding every nook and corner with warm
sunshine This she does before she puts
the leafy umbrellas over the trees, for she
is trying to soak up the whole earth and
to penetrate to the heart of the forest.
Winds are sent to drive away the vapors
and the gases that rise from the uncovered
earth The winds are by no means gentle;
they sweep furiously over the earth and
blow away the particles of dirt.
So should the hooks and corners of the
house be exposed to the light of the sun,
and to the air, and should be permitted to
partake of the freshness which nature is
scattering about the earth with such
lavish hand. Nature viii do her share, she
will carry away the musty smells, the dust
and the gases if she is given chance
And it is during her own housekeeping
season that she can give the most assist
ance.
