ENGLAND AFTER GOLD. That Country Taking Considerable tof tho Precious Metal from New Yel-k R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: The struggle to sustain Russian securities agalust the disfavor of tbe Rothschilds, the demand for gold by German tankers, and the threatened withdrawal of Russian gold from deposits In England, France, and Germany account for much of the unusual movement of specie which has been in progress. The advance of %of 1 per cent, at once in the rate charged by the Bank of England Is rightly regarded as notification that England means to fortify herself In this great struggle by drawing gold from New Yortt. May starts off with the great plunge in speculative prices which has ft* some weeks been anticipated. Wheat fell 15 cents in as many days, while corn has declined 3% cents in sympathy, and many speculators have suffered. An'element of great strength is the accumulating 'evidence that the wheat prospect art; the West Is remarkably good. After sucli high prices as have been realized farmers are widely inclined to put in a greater acreage of wheat, oats, and corn, especially as 'the (fore im advices foreshadow a (larger demand for wheat With such an agricultural outlook the demand fcnvmanufactured products of all kinds is likely to improve and thus the great industries will be helped.

MERELY A CHILIAN VESSEL. sf\ Grave Consideration Over thb of tlie I lata. The authorities at Washington are greatly vexed over the escape of the steamer Itata. The question of the right of the United States to take her on tlie high seas is not altogether settled. The State Department peoplo have searched their authorities and have scrutinized the facts in the case, and are inclined to doubt the right. Tho whole question arises from a dispute as to tho character of the vessel. Were she a pirate, a ship in the service of an enemy to this country, and a vessel of American register engaged in acts in violation of treaty stipulations, the case would he a simple one. But she Is merely a Chilian vessel engaged In the transportation of a suspected cargo, a cargo that may possibly be contraband in the light of the treaty, and there is a very grave risk Involved.
