LONDON STOCK PANIC.
scarcity of Money the Chief Cause Of the
Trouble.

LONDON. Oct. i0.-The trouble in the Lon
don stock market, which has at length cul-
minated in panic, is owing chiefly to the
scarcity of money. The market had bOr-
rowed more than the amount coming
to it from quarterly dividends and
the Bank of England has added to the
scarcity by its regent policy OF
high rates on loans. Certain securities
also. in which British investors showed a
good deal Of faith, have shrunk very much
of late, notably South African and mining
shares, and this has brought about sym
pathetic hesitation TO invest in other stocks,
even those that are not in any sense Of a
doubtful or inflated character.
