STOLEN GOLD.
Owing to tho recent enormous losses of gold in transit on the Continent, the underwroters at Lloyd's have decided, the "Daily News and Leader" learns, to raise the premium .by 100 per cent ' ' A siim of .£20,000 in coin and bar gold has .'been stolen during the past twelvo months. It includes ,£SOOO in bar gold consigned from London, to the headquarters of. tho Swia? Bankverein; .£IO,OOO in coin from the Bank.of England to the Credit Lyonnis in Alexandria; and (within the past week) ,£SOOO in bar gold sent from Berlin to Hamburg. In two casus investigated by tho City of London Police the authorities are satisfied that tho gold has been stolen while in transit, on the Continental railways. The transhipment of gold has for many yeaTS been one of Lloyd's underwriters' most profitable risks. The new rate applies only to gold consigned over the Continental railway system. Overseas transhipments of gold are accepted at the old rates.
