BANK OF ENGLAND HAS
LARGE QUANTITY OF GOLD
LONDON Max 16.0)—Great in-
terest and curiosity have been
aroused by an announcement made
after the close of business on the
money market last evening that the
Bank of England has bought bar
gold to the amount of 1,610,000
pounds sterling, thus reducing the
net. eftius of the metal since the
embargo on gold exports was re-
moved, to 551,000 pounds sterling.
When the gold was obtained has
not been learned and the market is
thoroughly puzzled. , The guesses
include suggestions that America
was the source, but the bank has
remained silent. Whatever the
source there is general gratifica-
tion that the bank’s recent loss’ of
gold has been reduced to compara-
tively, trifling proportions and fears
of an early rise in the bank rate
are allayed.
One effect ef the announcement
was to increase the. value of the
pound sterling to $4,868.
The U. S. census bureau estimates
the value of all autos in the coun-
try last year at $4,567,407,000. Total
taxes on them amounted to $471.5
548,000, or about ten per cent et
the value..
