ate afternoon reaction on the stock
exchange, after several hours OF the
familiar motionless conditions, may
nave mad some connection with the
DAY sudden fntimation from London,
that the Bank OF England rate will
probably be advanced tomorrow from
three per cent to four per cent. or It.
-slf, this news would not have at.
tracted much attention, although an
advance has not recently been ex.
pected for so early a date, and al.
though four per cent rate would be
above what the bank has fixed as the
close OF August In any year since 1907.
But what caused more particular
interest In the London predictions was
the explanation which accompanied
them, that such early action was
forced on the banks consideration by
the heavy borrowing by the New York
market from London. This phase OF
the situation has been somewhat puz.
zling. especially In view OF the small
requirements OF our stock exchange.
II Is possible that II has been necessi.
tated by the relative meagreness OF
Nehr staple exports since supplies, at
the end OF the past deficient crop
year, became so small as to cut into
export business. IL this Is the expla-
nation, the position will soon be recti-
fed, for our own unprecedented spring
wheat harvest occurs along with what
seems a shortage In the English crop.

body stumbled over Amber-stumble

ginian sat up, crying out As weakly as

dragged him, yielding and unquestion-

unseen bodies.

mum of shrieks, oaths, shouts, orders
unheard and commands unheeded, a
concerted rush was made from every
quarter to the spot whore the doomed
man had been kneeling. No man could
have said where he stood OF whittier
he ran-save one, perhaps. That one
was at Amber's side and had laid his
course beforehand and knew that both
their lives depended upon his stick
ing to 1t without deviation. To him a
rush OF hundred feet in a direct
line meant salvation, the least devie-
ton from It. death.
He was now recovering rapidly and
able to appreciate that they stood a
good chance Of winning away; for the
natives were all converging toward the
center of the cavern, and apparently
none needed them. Nevertheless La
