Since the gold movement to Paris start
ed in on May 5. yesterdays steamer to
Europe Is the first opportunity which is
not to be awaited of to ship the metal
to Paris. While this does not necessarily
imply that the exports are over for the
time being. II is at least worth while
pointing out that there has now been
shipped TO Paris total of 81. Ooo, 900 gold.
which is the same amount was sent
to the French capital on the movement
of two months ago.
The recent shippers of the metal de-
clare that they are entirely in the dark
to the extent of the movement, and
they are prepared to say that IL Is over
at the present time.
When the gold movement to Paris was
resumed at the beginning OF the current
month il was pointed out that II was
evidently a set policy OF the Bank Of
France to take a certain amount of gold
from here at intervals OF two months,
SO as not to disturb this market unduly.
and 1t was thought that the new move
ment would be confined to total con-
signment Of about slO.OOO.O 600 or 81. OOo, 600.
The first gold movement to Paris
started in this year on January I and
took total OF sll.9O0.OO0. The second
movement was inaugurated on March 6.
Altogether there has been exported to
Paris so far this year s35.0CO.0o0 gold.
While there is considerable doubt as to
whether the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
dividend will he increased next week. the
belief prevails that the stock will he put
upon a per cent basis in the next fiscal
year. The earnings are good. and there
is another reason for expecting an ad-
vance in the rate. The convertibility OF
the bonds will cease on July I. 1914. and
il would probably be good policy on the
part of the company to bring about con-
version of that issue. This would almost
certainly follow an Increase of the divi-
dend rate. BY getting the convertible
bonds out of the way. future financing
would be facilitated. but. of course a
large addition would be made to the COM
rany's outGoes. The stock would be in
creased from si50oo.Ooo to O.OoO. 90. and
the change of 4 per cent bond into a
per cent stock would add 500. 900 a year
to the compsny's annual disbursements
circumstances might not produce much
of a rise in the stock
