Ready Built Homes
 Solved Magpie Problem

Sydney, Australia (UP)-Aus- tralian magpies and the goverT1- ment postal department have set- tied amicably their long feud.
 For many years the birds have insisted upon building their nests between telegraph wires of the postal system, causing frequent short circuits and broken lines. Weary of attempting to extermin- ate all the magpies in Australia. a linesman recently built an artifi- cial nest and placed 1t on the cross-arm of a telegraph pole.
 A pair of magpies promptly moved in." As a result of the successful experiment, the postal system is having artificial magpie nests placed at hundreds of points where they will cause no interrup- tion in telegraph service.
 So far the postal system. has found no solution to the problem of how to deal with galahs which alight in numbers on the wires. Their weight causes these to make contact with wires beneath, dis rupting telegraph service.

US. GOLD SYSTEM
 SUITS PURPOSES
Pegging of Dollar at 59.O6 Per cent Puts Nation on
 International Standard

Washington, Feb. 1.-UP)l- Pegging of the American dollar at 59.06 per cent of its former gold value establishes the United States on an international gold bullion standard, Secretary of Treasury Morgenthau said today.
 '"The best way to describe the system," Morgenthau said, is a 1884 model of the gold bullion standard. It is one that suits our purposes"
 This standard, he said, will be in effect as long as the president leaves effective the present regula- tions concerning gold.
 Morgenthau refused to comment upon possible operations of the governments $2,000,000,000 stabil- ization fund. He said 1t would not answre questions about activities in which the fund was, engaged. Op- erations of the fund would be part ly on the advice of a flexible group of advisers"
 The treasury secretary would not comment upon the possible effect of the new American monetary policy upon world conditions, nor would he indicate his belief as to whether 8 return flow of American capital to this country would fol- low the establishment of the Am- erican gold bullion standard.

 IN FRENCH TRADE
France Bought Triple as Much From America as
 She Sold in I033
By WALLACE CARROLL United Press Stan Corresponding

V
 Paris, Feb. 1-(UP)-The Unit ed States enjoyed a huge balance in it's favor in trade with France during 1893, final trade figures revealed today.
 The figures showed that France bought approximately three times as much from the United States during 1893, as she sold to the United States.
 American exports to France dur ing the year were reported at 2,S50,631, 900 francs (S182,732,750 at current exchange rates) com pared to 2,918,453 francs ($1S7,- 0S0,320 at today's exchange) in 1882.
 French exports to the United States, dropped sharply and a. mounted to only 868,047,000 francs ($55,644,0o8) as against 957,394,- 900 francs ($61,371,410) in 1892.
 The figures showed that France bought more from America in 1893, than from any other country except Germany. Imports from Germany were valued at 3,043,- 666,000 francs Currently $195,- 106,790). This, however, was a sharp drop compared with 1892, then they totalled 3,618,594, 900 francs, ($231,961, 800 at todays ex- change rates).
 French commercial circles point ed to Americas large favorable balance as justification for the French quota system against which the United States protested, and which has been modified.

NEW YORK. May 17.-While the
aggregate OF bank clearings was lower
than last week, a level above the cor
responding figures of 1888 was main
tanned. The total for this week at all
leading cities in the United States. as
reported to Dun & Bradstreet. Inc,
was 1894 sol 900, which was 1872 per
cent larger than that for the same
week of last year; a week earlier the
comparison revealed a gain of 1875 per
cent. Clearings at New York City were
$3,357, $4,000, a gain Of SO per cent,
while, the aggregate of 1886 6,623 900
for all outside centers was higher BY
sos per cent.
The increase in bank clearingS out
side Of New York was again larger
than was shown for New York CITY.
This In part reflects conditions a year
ago, when the restrictions in bank
ing operations at many outside points
continued quite severe Furthermore,
trading in the speculative markets this
year, especially at this time, Is very
limited and this restricts bank clear
lngs to some extent at New York and
other large cities.
Gains this week over year ago
were quite heavy at Boston, Phila-
delphia. Baltimore Pittsburgh, Chi
cago, Cleveland, st. Louis, Kansas
City, Omaha and most points at the
south. This weeks clearings were
less than those of the preceding week
by $l52, ,087,000 with the loss mainly
at New York City. whereas a year ago
there was an increase for the same
two weeks of S31 100000.
