Although for obvious reasons detail cannot yet be given, it is understood that there have been of late fairly substantial shipments of gold from Australia. The bulk of the consignments is believed to have been shipped for delivery at American ports. Soon after the outbreak of the war an arrangement was made between the Bank of England and the Australian Treasurer whereby gold intended to be paid to the institution was to be lodged to 1:? credit in trust with the Commonwealth authorities, the actual exportation of the metal! being thus avoided for the time. Quite independently of that fund, which presumably is still held intact, shipments of rather considerable aggregate have been sent to New York, and by this means Australian debts to England have been partly liquidated, whilst by the same process a portion of London's liabilities to Wall Street have been settled. The Melbourne Argus, which records these facts, states that New Zealand also has drawn from the Commonwealth a moderate total in specie, most of which reached the Dominion in August. ■ The Queen of Teas is "Desert Gold" Tea.
