customer denied the truth OF the story.

not related in any way to Z. q. White.

the brokers raised a nice little sum ana dis
tributed it among the Exchange employees

From Wall Street.

j. S. Bache & Co, to Oakley & CO.:
The week began with the elimination of
the uneasy feeling which was brought about
by over-speculation in industrials and by
the big gold exports which have been going
on for sometime. Big lines OF Whisky and
Gas were thrown overheard, as a number of
institutions and bankers refused to loan on
this class OF securities and the only thing to
do was TO market those stocks. The decline
in them was so sharp and rapid that it was
but natural that they should rally, bus the
storm on Monday produced q dull mark Eet
ior the rest of the week.
The most noteworthy feature has been
the tremendous sterling loans which have
peen made through the past week, which we
think amount to about S.. 900 600. The pools
in both Whisky and GAS have been doing
their utmost to borrow money, not cariaS
what rates they paid SO long as the securities
were placed for % or 90 days. We are told
ct one sterling loan which was made on
Whisky alone ut which the margin was so
large that the loan on the stock was at 81.
The usual bankers commission on a sterlinr
loan Tor 50 days has heretofore been x ner
cent, but they have found the demand so
urgent they increased rates and now charge
double. We know as TACT That terling loans
made against Sugar collateral have paid the
latter rate. 1t was but natural that this
amount OF sterling exchange being sold that
the exchange market would sell OFF, but
the demand for remittances being so great
the rate is again as hig II as ever before The
Reich Bank, of Germany, wishing to show as
big a surplus of gold as possible on January
1,,was willing to pay the bankers the money!
as soon AS the gold left this port, but thew

too late for their purpose. Sill from pres-
cnt indications iG looks as if considerable
amounts of gold would 90 forward again
next woek; none will be sent with TUESDAYS

ALL THE LATEST FINANCIAL NEWS

SATURDAY, Dec. "a
A number of forces have heen at work
during the week to unsettle confidence in
the financial world and create doubt as to
the position of values, and they have been
of more than usual weight-the renewal OF
gold exports, uneasiness over the silver
situation, stringency in money and the dan
gers threatening the French Republic. At
the moment, say Henry Clews & Co, 1t is
not easy to JUDGE how far the serious politi-
cal complications in France may be-
come an element of financial disturb
ance In the event of revolution,
which seems to be more than
mere possibility, a shock to the bourses OF
Europe would be inevitable and, consider
ing the broad relations between Paris and
London, the latter city would be exposed
TO suffer in sympathy with the former. In
that event, whatever might be the first
effect on our market, the later result would
be to encourage the purchase OF American
investments on account of their isolation
from the sphere of European politics
Nevertheless the position OF France con-
stitutes an important influence tending to
produce caution in tine money markets of
the world at large.
The exports of gold involve correspond
ing relative reduction in the legal money
resources of the banks of this city, which
is the main source of the prevailing strin-
geucv in the loan market As the banks
will have to stand ready for the large inter-
est and dividend disbursements incident to
the season, the stringency may be expected
to continue at least into the new year, when
the funds thus distributed among the pub
lie at large will have returned to the banks
for unemployment. Relief may also be ex-
pected from influx of money from the
interior, which usually sets in soon
after January /. But while, for these
reasons, the money market may be trusted
TO take care of itself, for the next few
months, vet there is in Wall street deep
conviction that the course OF both money
and investments must vitality depend upon
the action or non-action OF Congress re-
lating to silver. on this point, leading men
Of finance are in earnest, ana regard it as
an important factor ruling the future.
Gould they be sure that purchases of silver
bv the Government will at least be temper
arily suspended, confidence would prevail;
but, so long as this remains uncertain, their
attitude will be that of caution.
While the foregoing factors surround the
financial market with tine uncertainty which
Is uufavorable to the value of securities.
vet the general range of conditions intrinslc
TO investments is strong and healthy, which
forms a wholesome buttress against other
disturbing influences.
