Gold Shipments Immense.

Continued strength of foreign exchange

houses to cable inquiries to their Eu-
ropean correspondents as to whether they
would be likely to call for consignments
of gold during the coming week. Foreign
exchange dealers said that the market
was just about at the point at which
gold could be exported, and that only
slight inducements would be required to
cause renewed outflow of the metal. The

Immediately after the outbreak of the

The reason is that we have too many
troublesome problems to worry about at
home.
There are two great anti campaigns
going on at present One against home
rule in Ulster. and another against dis
establishment in Wales, and both look
very much like losing ventures.
1t is amusing to note how the defenders
of the Welsh establishment are constantly
engaged in the arduous task of running
time. To the Welsh people they repre-
sent the established church in Wales as
a thoroughly national concert: while at
the same time they are striving to excite
English churchmen to join in an agitation
against the Welsh national demand FOR
establishment on the ground that the
Welsh church is only local branch or
the English church. and it would be most
unjust as they contend, Ito single out for
separate treatment four dioceseS OF the
province of Canterbury" But such a plea
gives away the whole case for the ma
tiOnar character Of the established
church in Wales, and stamps it unmis-
takaby as an alien establishment i'm
posed upon the people from without
against their will.

Pressure Centers on Steel.

Market pressure has centered largely
upon the steel issues. Primarily. that is
because of the unsatisfactory state of
the steel trade, and partly because of the
new development in the affairs of the
United States Steel Corpora ton. as an
nounced in it's declaration of purpose to
surrender it's control of the great iron
ore bodies leased from the Great North
ern Railroad Company. Undoubtedly the
milling capacity of the iron industry is
kept fairly busy, but the product that is
now coming from the plants represents

Interested in Politics.

Wall street is taking a very lively in
terest in national politics these days and
has It's wires out in every direction for
the requirement of information to
political sentiment in every part of the
country. One of the curious features of
the situation which engages attention at
the moment is the rather cold reception
given to Mr.. Taft during his western tour.
surprise is expressed that the west. which
has been struggling for twenty-five years
or more for the very things which Mr..
Taft and his administration are now do
ing should turn a cold front to him at the
very time of performance. All political
parties have been promising for a genera
ton or more to do up the trusts ana
foaming at the mouth at the sloWnesS OF
progress vet here we see MIR. Taft act
ually carrying out these promises and
pledges and getting the cold shoulder. 1t
is something Wall street does not quite

next presidential election.

Old MYTH Is Revived.

In the campaign against home rule, the
old myth about the measure having been
twice defeated at the polls is being re-
vived and trotted out as valuable argu-
ment. At Belfast meeting the other
day one of the noble speilbinders, who
want the people of Ulster to fight the
British army and navy rather than pay
taxes imposed by an Irish parliament IN
Dublin, said THE English people have
on two previous occasions given a most
decided vote upon this question. They
turned the liberals out in 1856, and then
later on they We're thoroughly beaten
when they went to the country upon home
rule
In 1856, it is true the conservatives
were returned to power, but official sta
tistics show that though actual result III
seats was conservative majority OF 1O4,
the ''majority warranted by voting
strength" was liberal one of IS. At
the election of 1892 "a government elected
for home rule or on basis of home
rule as Mr.. Balfour put it, was re-
turned to power. The second home rule
bill followed in the same year. passed the
commons and was only defeated in the
lords. The next general election which
resulted in a tory victory did not take
place till 1889 and was fought on different
issues. Mr.. Chamberlain old age pension
promise being one of them.
