Cash Supply Growing. Much Gold Shipped to Canada

Estimates indicate about 25 million dollars in gold has been sent to Ottawa from New York credits as pressures ease in money markets. Banks report easier call money and 40 day loans near 6 percent with high grade collateral supporting new lending. Exchange markets show dull activity while brokers seek short term notes and high grade bonds. A cotton pool plan advances but federal reserve control remains a condition, and Canada bound gold transfers reflect continued international monetary moves.

Burwell Case Revived

The State Department faces a dilemma after the arrest of Emilio Quirol Gomez, a general from the Mexican Jiuerta regime, in San Antonio Texas. Officials hope the capture will bring accountability for Weston Burwell, a young Washington engineer killed near Vera Cruz, but lack a recognized Mexican government to pursue murder charges. The constitutionalist faction reportedly would act if Gomez is surrendered. Gomez is held on a U.S. smuggling diamonds charge, not murder, with Burwell killed shortly after Vera Cruz’s occupation while buying mules, and witnesses say he was seen with Gomez’s army as a prisoner.
