LONDON FINANCES.

London, Sept. 15.-There has been an
increased demand for money in connec.
ton with the stock exchange settlement
but after momentary rise quotations
relapsed to the former level. There is
prospective demand and improved trade
A steady increase in speculation, how.
ever, is expected to harden values. Since
the settlement business has been re.
stricted, and prices show decrease in
values, the enormous expansion of min
ing speculation has led to changing pro.
hibitory rates for continued transactions
Many shares are consequently closing ac.
counts, which led to lower quotations
The American market was weak on a
threatened renewal of the crisis through
gold Withdrawals. The heavy exports
of gold led to belief in some quarters
that bond issue is inevitable. A further
advance in South American bonds, Argen,
tine and Union Pacific occurred and Cen.
trail Americans are attracting buyers.
