Gold arrivals at London last week were 4S23,111. Of this, 979OO00 was from South Africa and f32,909 from West Africa. Of the exports, f403,304 India took 9373,264 and Holland and Belgium 93O,40O.
 The net balance of f419,707 is the best showing in favor of Great Britain that has been made this year. No shipments have been made to this country for more than 13 weeks.
 No official explanation has been made so far of the report last week that an understanding between the Bank of England and the N. Y. Fed eral Reserve Bank had been reached whereby the British bank willSbe re- lieved of shipments of gold into In- dia when the Indian exchange calls for shipments of the yellow metal"
 Lord Inchcape, chairman of the com mittee to be appointed by the Govern ment of India on expenditure" who visited Washington last week, return ed to London on the Majestic" Satur- day. It is reported from London that he will not go to India until later in the year.
 Gold bars to the value of $530, ,00O were shipped from New York to Bom- bay on May "A. Another shipment of $290,000 left New York, May 20.
 India is considerably ahead on it's total gold imports for the past 17 months. Last year it lost about $37,- 100000 to this country but has since overcame this loss by probably $5,000,- 900 to $10,000,000. These gold pur. chases are understood to be entirely for private account. :. E,I
 The P. & o. steamship Egypt" which was sunk on May 20, carried fso0,000 in gold and f200,000 in silver (the latter containing about 1,300, ,000 ozs).
 Despite the higher prices on sterl- ing the gold premium in London is again higher.
 The Conton silk trade is rather &C., tive with a large volume of this busi- ness with this country.
 Silversmith consumption in this country of foreign origin silver has been rather small for the first 4 months of this year but May reports show many demands. The under standing in that trade is that supplies had reached the exhaustion point early in May. Demand by the photographic trade is steady. For the first 5 months of this year it is understood that imports and exports of silver show less than $1,OOO,0OO in excess imports which would be insufficient to meet this combined demand if it con- tinues on this basis for the next 8 months.
 No additional purchases of domestic silver at 99 5-S cents net, and under the provisions of the Pittman law, Have been reported this week. Total so far this year is 23,326,376 ozs.-N. Y. Financial Review.

TRADE BALANCES SHOW PRONOUNCED GAINS
 IN FAVOR OF SILVER CONSUMING COUNTRIES

An apparent over-eXtension of the speculative position in silver resulted in a reaction on the 23rd. The high est price was 74A cents, sales price, on the 22d. London was also highest on the same day with 37 3-S pence as the official bid price.
 The lowest price this year was 62% cents, Feb. 2S so that the net in- crease on the movement ended May 23 was 11% cents. Un our previous review typographical error lead us to make the statement that 52A cents had been the years ''low".)
 For last year the Thigh" was 74s (Oct. ID and the "low" 63h (Mar. 5. This variation of not more than 12 cents an ounce over a period of nearly r months with the culmination at new record Thigh" is probably more important than spectacular and monetary advance of twice this amount. The trend in foreign origin silver prices, however, is considered to be up ward and the reversals of this week is expected to be followed by a high er-price trend as soon as the specu- lative position is adjusted. Chinese spectators sold this and some London dealers who had been caught on the short side, put out more commit ,ments in futures"
 Trade conditions in the Far East are rather interesting. Favorable trade balance for India for March and April is 94,soO,0oO rupees against an ,unfavorable balance of nearly 220,- 100000 rubles for the previous 10 months.
 Imports in these figures include bullion.
 Trade of China with this country for the first 8 months of this year amounted to $39,000,000, an increase of $2,0O0,000 in price values although volume was even larger.
 Higher silver prices are, of course, a considerable stimulus to China's ex- port trade so that the outlook at present is rather cheerful.
 Trade conditions in Japan are some what peculiar. While total volume is larger the balance is greatly adverse. For the first 4 months of this year imports amounted to 478,317,500 yen and exports to 279,O32, ,00O yen or an adverse trade balance of POI, ,2S5, ,OOO yen. During this period Japan has imported very little bullion. For the first 8 months total gold and silver imported was 10000 yen against 20,- 776,000 yen in the single month of January last year. Gold holdings, Mar. 1, were 1920, 100000 yen com pared with 2,Os0, ,OOO, ,OOO yen at the end o fast year. In April Japan took $47,237, silver, from this country but this is, the only gold or silver secured in this country so far this year. The Yokahoma Specie Bank, New York branch, recently shipped $5OO,O0O gold to India.

DESERT FLOWERS

A fairy wand OCT the desert Has changed it all in day! A vision of wonderful beauty, Has banished the sombre gray. A riot of brilliant colors; Elusive perfume laden air! The flower-folks so eerie, Are beckoning everywhere. Crimsons, and golds and purples, Blossoms of dazzling white; Bits of straying rainbows Seen for a day and night! Robing the desert with brightness; Fair as bride could be! A lesson in Courageous duty To hearten the soul of me! Brief is their hour of beauty; Fleet, is the day of grace; Ardent the suns caresses, Shriveling each fair face. What if the soil be barren? What if no eye may see? Living and giving in gladness, Wherever they chance to be.
