LONDON, Noy. 1.-THE Continental de-
mand for gold reduced the Bank of Eng
lands bullion during the week by 81 000.-

what. Business at the Stock Exch ange
continued moderate. but the tone was de-
cidedly better. The prospects were less
menacing and with the possibility of
settlement of the Japanese-Chinese war
prices may be expected to advance after
the settlement. The liabilities of the B1r-
ing guarantees have been reduced $780,
600 by the sale of Uruguayan and other
bonds.
The result of the American elections, it
is expected. will give greater stability to
American finances. Home railway Sc
curities were heavy. The market for for
eign securities was without feature. Min
ing securities continued to boom. Paris
bought extensively of South African VEN

firm, but there was nothing like the ad-
vance that occurred after the Democratic
victory in the United States two years
ago. The advent of Mr. Titles report
concerning Atchison affairs hangs heavily
over operators. The market closed espe-
