STREAM OF GOLD IS '
FLOWING TO JAPAN
$35,030,090 Has Been Sent
Her From This Country
Sect Beginning cf Year
Washington. May 20. It is because
Japan's export trade with America has
doubled since the war started that such'
large shipments of (old have been made
to mat country, it was otucially stated
at the Japanese, embassy today.
. Commenting on the exportation of
approximately $3,1,000,000 in gold to
Japan Since the first of the year, em
bassy officials stated that the differ
ence in the balanco of trade created
by Japan ' rapidly growing exports
made the gold importations into Japan
necessary.
All guld sent to Japan is needed to
solve purely economic problems in&ide
the island empire, it was stated.
None of the gold is to lie loaned
Russia or France or England, or any
of the allied powers, as had been re
ported..
It was snid that these big gold ship
ments will cease in a short time be
cause Japan does not want too much
gold, since tho government does not
care, to encourage a consequent depre
ciation of money and a rise in the cost
of living.
Tho treasury department had full
knowledge of the gold exportations, it
was stated, since Third Secretary Hi-
Iroshl Saito conferred with treasury de
partment otlicials regarding expedit
ing of shipments.
Just last Tuesday, it was said, the
New York subtreasury was asked to
"wire" three million gold bullion to
San Francisco for transport to Japan
It was stated by United States offi
cials in New York that, while there
was ample gold in that sub-treasury,
the gold supply in San Francisco was
low and that therefore it might be nec
essary for the Japanese embassy to ac
tually ship the gold to the coast. Sec
retary Snito then saw treasury . of fi
cials here and the matter was satisfac
torily arranged. Treasury officials told
Japaneso embassy officials that precau
tions at first recommended were found
to be unnecessary and the $3,000,000
worth of gold was "wired" to the San
Franeisdo sub-treasury that is, the
New York sub-treasury wired the coast
sub-treasury to permit that amount of
gold to be exported.
Tho gold was destined for a Yoko-
hama specio bank. All conferences be
tween Japanese and treasury depart
,incnt officials were informal.

According to Sheriff Xeedham, the

Stock Market Lively
and Prices Advance
New Y'ork, May 20. The New York
Evening !Suu financial review today
said:
Further brisk demand for United
States steel and the other issues of the
steel group again carried the stock mar
ket upward in today's short session, al
though advances were distinctly nar
rower than yesterdav or the day before.
Steel pushed through 131 to 131 7-8, a
new high record urice, a gain of over
a point. Other than the steel issues, the
industrial list made but moderate ad
vances. Most of the steel demand was
from the short operators, who were dis
inclined to carry nil of their rather
large commitments on that side of the
market over the Sunday recess-
The industrial list was strong nt the
outset and the advance continued
throughout the first half of the ses
sion. Gulf States and Sloss Sheffield
were the strong spots in the steel group
aside irom tne leader. L tan and Am
erican Smelting led the copper shares.
Motor issues made some response to
the better outlook on the tax question.
Shipping stocks were narrow. The
equipments wtre in good demand at ad
vancing prices. Corn Products. Ameri
can Can and Industrial Alcohol were
features of strength. Kails were gen
erally firm but largely neglected.

The cyclone which formed near An
