At the Jefferson hospital experiments with the celebrated German physician's fluid have been brought to a close. It is known that Dr. Da Costa considered the remedy too dangerous for experi ment because there was no certain knowledge as to its best use. Dr. J.

The same statement is given by the physicians at the Ger man hospital. In the rest of the hospi tals, where there have been but a few experiments, the lymph has almost le cotnc a stranger. It has leaked out that the tuberculosis commission of the veterinary department of the university of Pennsylvania has abandoned its ex periments with Ivoch lymph, and a ma jority of the members of the commis sion arc of the opinion that both as a curative and diagnostic agent the fluid is valueless. GOLD IMPORTS. Tho Demand For f Jolit Attracting the At tention of Foreign Hanker HomIs Not Yet Heady Fur War. Berlin, May 16. The heavy imports of American gold in Europe in general and Germany in particular have drawn the attention of financiers in Germany to the matter. Hcrr Bleichroder, the well known hanker who shares the Rothschilds' financial power on the continent of Europe, in an interview on the subject to-day said: "All the gold coming here from En gland or from France is shipped to Russia, which country has been drain ing heavily from Berlin and still heav ier from London. In order to protect the Bank of England and so as not to decline its reserves American gold was called for, but thin was an unprof itable transaction. The gold was bought at a loss, it is true, but we are willing to sacrifico something. Had tho Russian demand lecn met by the withdrawal of gold from London and Berlin the rate of discount in banks of these cities must have risen A or 7 per cent Under the present state of affairs this would simply mean ruin to thousands. We avoided it by buying American gold." When asked what Russia wanted with all this gold, and in reply to the question, "Is she preparing for war?" Hcrr Bleichroder said: "Yon can state with absolute certainty that for three years Russia will not think of war. I have received daily positive Information that Russia is upon the point of chang ing her armament She has adopted a new rifle and it will take three years to arm her troops with tho new weapons, and Russia dare not go to war in the midst of such an important change." THE WEEK'S TRADE. Dan's Report Makes n More Favorable Showing Notwithstanding the Foreign Demand For Gold. New York, May 10. R. O. Dun's Weekly Review of Trade says: In every respect thc outlook is more favorable excepting the large exports of gold and the advance in the Bank of England rates to five per cent, obviously for the purpose of drawing more gold from this country. Thc receipts for customs duties in New York are Jargely in sil ver certificates and new treasury notes no less than 64?-f per cent for thc first ten days of May but it is proper to re member that tho new treasury notes being redeemable "in gold or silver coin," with a provision of tho law em powering the secretary to maintain the parity of gold and silver paper and coin arc in practice redeemable in gold and in value equal to greenbacks. It in a most favorable symptom that thc continued exports of gold cauu; no panic in this market It is a significant fact that thc exports in April were about doublo last year's in value as to cotton, and showed an incrcaso in oil and provisions but a decrease in cattle and brcadstuffs. Yet in breadstuff's the decrease was wholly in corn, and the surplus of wheat available for export May 1 was about 39,000,000 bushels. The exports of wheat from Atlantic ports have been much smaller than a year ago until last week, when aa in crease of 10 per cent appeared. In corn thc decrease is heavy, of course.
