BULLION.

HOW THE BANK OF ENGLAND HANDLES'

ITS GOLD.

Thirty tons of glittering gold in one room, and seen with a sweep of the eye-that was the sight which met my gate when I visited the Bank of England a few weeks ago. To look upon, such Titanic wealth (even lo one more or less accustomed to the daily jingling of gold, as I have been) is appalling. I felt awed and spoke in whispers, as if the very walls resented the intrusion,

After the preliminaries of establishing my hona fides to the Bank official who escorted me, I was taken immediately to the bullion vaults, On my way through the "yard" the first thing that arrested my attention was the velvet tami: shanters worn by the porters who handled the bullion. The reason, it appeara; is the survival at an old custom, and is this: In the pariers, by habit, or design, perhaps, would run olden days when gold dust was traded in, the

The bars are next sent by the melters to the refiners, who extract all the pure gold and pure

The refiners now deliver to the bullion broker bars of pure gold, who sells it either to the Bank of England, to foreign bankersio London, or perhaps this it to the Cominent or America. when the Bank of England is a buyer, it is old when the market justifies, or kept in re- serve.
