The premium on the Hongkong bank notes in determined by the dif ference between the actual current rate of exchange and the cost at which dollars can be imported, and the limit to which the premium can go depends entirely upon the rate at which holders of gold currencies are willing to exchange such hold- ings into silver in the form of bank notes--in other words the premium they are prepared to pay for the nate rather than take payment in silver dollars.

The premium on bank notes has no benefit whatever for the banks by which they are issued. Tile hokiers of bank notes obtain the full benefit of such a premium in the purchase of gold exchange or of commodities, the price of the latter being determined by the rate of ex- change.

"Steamboat Bill Jr." Buston Kenton, the main feature in the programme from to-day to Saturday at the Star Theatre, in a story of modern river life, filmed against a beautiful background of the Mississippi River. The humorous side of steamboating predominnies of course, but there are moments when the thrills overshadow the Inghe. Especially in this true in the final scenes, in which disaster is visited upon the river-town, and the comedy star turns hero.
