Three Millions to Be Forwarded to France Today, NeW York, Dec. 13.—The export movement of gold to Europe, which has been threatening for over two months, will begin Saturday, when at least 12.500,000 «>ld will be shipped by Lazlrd freres. Baring Magoun A CD. Ludenburg, Thalmana & Co. may also ship from 3500,000 to (1,000,000, In addi tion. The foreign exchange market I* very strong, and the price of sterling 4.89 less 1-32 would appear to warrant these shipment*, but the gold paid into the sub-treasury by the banks on ac count of the .recent United States loan Is oa an average 31,500 tight In t-acn 31,000.000. This prevents shipments at a rvortt except to Paris, where all of the gold to be shipped Is going. It Is anticipated that the outward movement of gold will continue until the remit tances against coupon and dividend payments due abroad and the heavy coffee settlements are completed. Both coffee and sugar Importers ore among the largest buyers of exchange at pres ent, and already purchases against coupon and Interest remittances have begun. Another feature which creates nn exchangeYatlaace against New York Is the settlement of maturing sterling loans. There have been liquidated this week already sterling loans amounting to 204,000 pounds, and It Is estimated that loans aggregating at least 2,000,000 pounds will mature in the next four or live weeks.

He con tinued to assist In milking the cows, and, with the exception of two days. p*<Flled ml!k along the usual routes. The disease develops along the same territory, and the authorities are firm ly of the opinion that the contagion was spread by the milkman. When auestloned b ythe loonl health officers toe milkman stated toad he suffered from a sore throat, but -had not the slightest Idea hut K was diphtheria. His business has been completely susnended by order of the board of health.
