THE MOVEMENT OF GOLD
There was recently some concern expressed about the efflux of gold from Japan, and double less there was good reason for the apprehen sion expressed to the faery but the story of the panelling of reception-rooms of the homes of wealthy Chinese in the cities of the south their country at Chinese New Year with gold may be dismissed as a stor "fancy" order. Although there in hardly exact parallel between the two cases, it is lo- teresting to note the comments made New York money market when part of gold takes place, and the road givea for such movement, as well as the improbability that the time will come When
such shipments cease altoge Years ago, when financial relations Europe and the United States were developed state, it was plain enough why go'd in large quantity had to be shipped back and forth across the Atlantic, “But now, in viaw of the great progress that has been made international banking and the establishment great credits in both continents, it is quite datural to ask why it is that such constant. recourse must still be had to the primitive, methods of early times, when practically all exchange transactions were seuled by ship. Imants of bullion,
The idea thit the development of intera national exchange business tends to do away with the necessity of sending gold from ones to the Bouth-Eastpoint to another is hardly borne out by the of the Colony,
fact that the last three years have seen the greatest movements of gold of modern times, On the contrary, the development of foreign
· banking facilities has taken place cofuci,ently with an increasing movement of gold between New York and London. The logical con- clusion is that, far from obviating the naczusity". for gold a'ipments, the constant shifting about er of balances incident to the increasing foreign exchange business means an increased mové- - ment of gold between the world's prine pal financial centres,

The natural movement of gold divides itself into four classes. here is, first, the primary, movement of crude bullion to the distribution centres, London for the European maiketi, New York and Seattle (It used to-be-Fakt Francisco exclusively for the Pacific Coast) for: the United States. The next is the first diss tribitive movement of the refined bullion, when the gold that has arrived, for instance, in Lone, doo is sold to the highest bidders, often repre seating far-off countries. "A readjustment fol- lows next, when gold, purchased in London by Paris, is sent to Switzerland, or Italy, or Belgium, or any other point. Last there is the? constant flow of gold from ons part of the world to another, the movement which is due to the ancient causes of supply and demand, of trade and other balances to be paid, and of baik rendaves to be built up or released.
