The eblef interest in the tinancial and economic sphere to this country in the past week or W) has been provided by the anual meetings of the krat Joint Stock Banks. Occasio is taken of these annual funetions by our leading Bankers to give to the world their views on the leading financial and economic problems of the day.
This year the question of an early resumption of the Gold Standard by Great Britain claimed the major part of their attention. The problem of course is tans ided, and so S9 great a step naturally gives rise to a host of conjunctures as regards its effects in this direc tion and that Therefore it was to be expected tuat one or two Bankers should strike a note of mild anxiety. But a perusal of the entire series of the Bankers speeches reveals something Very near unanimity in the Banking world on the two poicts, tirst that Britain must get back to the gold basis as early as possible, and secondly that the Psychological moment for taking the detinite step is fast approaching. Mr.
Goodenough, the Chairman of Barclay Bank, one of London largest institutions went solar as to urge the Government to make aa announcement of their intention to do their part towards getting back to a gold basis; and, indeed, a statement in this sense is rather confidentiy expected from the Coanceller oftae Excoequer before long.
The present expectation iu private financial circies is that when this statement is made, its keynote will be it is more the business of the Central Banking systems of America and Britan tag of the Government, but that the Government fully approves the policy of a return to gold, and on its part proposes that a tree guld market snill be restored at the end of the year, when the Desert legislation regulating god export expires. Mr. kinalu Mckenna exubacultor of the Exchequer, and Chairman of the Midrand Bank 4001ber of London leadi Culcernogave a long and lucid deletice of gold dard, aid to a long array of economie arguments in its lavour, added a Biroug argument on oral grounds.
Tue passage is perhaps, Worth quoting. in the present stale Ot knowledge and teeling one of greatest advantage. Oltre guld standard is its moral effect. Dation will think butter of it.

The tear of being forced of the 11 Blandard acts as aulary check on the extravagancsot Guvera ments who is willing to tace more fluctuation to exchange but would not dare to buspend socie payment. It is real advantage to a nation to have a currency founded upon a valu wolch is universally recog Dised; it inspires coandtace auu facilitates in te nauutal transac tions. Even if the gold standard were not preferable for other resons its universality would be decisive in its lavour. It is Uw generally tok a to be a certainty that England will be back on an trecuve guld standard in the comparatively near futur So absorbing was the gold standard problem that the Bank chiarmen left themselves little time to talk of ouber matters.
But in so far as they referred to the trade outlook their tone was one of reasoned, if restrained, optimism. This is encourag ing, because the Bankers bave their ficgers on the pulse of the country economic life, and are the first to detect signs of a quickening movement. The most confident in this respect was the Chairman of the Bank of Liverpool, who said. feel towe contidence in expressing the view it at we are at last emerging from the uncertainty and depression of the last few years, and that, given freedom from industrial struggles and strikes, a steady improvement in trade may be looked for.
