This would seem to ‘be the result of steady accumulation on the part of big capital. At the same time, Kaffirs on the London Stock Exchange have also shown marked improvement in the last week, and action of the local stocks now appears, at times, to be guided by movements in those stocks. In this respect the FPoreign Exchang»s Control Board recently made changes in the regulations allowinx a foreign investor to reclaim any money which he put int> the development of new mines, along with any current income arising from same, although any capiâ€" tal appreciation would have to remain in Canada. Official sources in Ottawa yesterday claimed they knéw nothing of such a plan, but reaffirmed their pledges that any foreign capital, preferably longâ€" term capital, coming into the country would receive their benevolent woodâ€" will and that no obstructions would be placed in the way of such money. The reported plan was that only properties which had advanced their development workâ€"to the stage where only a superficial amount of work reâ€" mained to be done to warrant instalâ€" latiion of a mill would be given consiâ€" deration, and that it would not take into consideration any property that was still entirely in the prospect stage Is There a Plan on Foot to Stimulate Output of Gold?
