MONEY In BANK

NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-THE New York
Ffnancier says this week: The effects
of a return to confidence are plainly
shown i'll the statement of the clearing
house banks of New York for the week
ending November IA. The expansion in
gold has probably never been eQualed in a
similar time. The movement is now pure
ly voluntary and II the increase of S., ,0O0,-
600 in the United States treasury is added
to the amount received by the New York
banks it will be seen over $50 600 in
gold has already come into sight since
election from these two sources alone.
How many other banks throughout the
country are carrying gold there is no ex-
act means of knowing, but the total must
be enormous. For the first time in weeks
domestic exchange at interior points has
risen to a premium and the banks of New
York are now gaining largely in cash
from these sources. The sub-treasury
has also been losing money to the banks.
SO accumulation of funds aside from re-
deposits of boarded money are really nor
NAL: The last imports OF gold have also
sWelled the total. The expansion in loans
is favorable feature of the statement, but
there is room for a great deal of growth
in this item. In sentence the statement
shows that the banks are again in posi-
ton to. meet all legitimate demands made
llpOn them.

CHICAGO MARKET,
The Days Transactions on the Board o
Trade.

CHICAGO, Nov. M.-The news which
helped the operations of the bears in wheat
today comprised rain in India and increas-
ing farmers deliveries in the northwest.
A prominent cotton house in New York
had a cablegram from their Bombay cor
respondent saying that rain had fallen and
had done much good to crops. There
were numerous messages received from
Minneapolis and elsewhere in the north
west to the effect that farmers deliveries
had increased considerably and Kansas
City reported better receipts there. Min
neapolis and Duluth receipts were 6S4 cars
against 775 Saturday last and 1919 cars
a year ago. Chicago received IS carloads
today against 199 last year. The weeks
shipments of wheat and flour from both
coasts were 4,66l0 600 bushels, being the
heaviest for any week in several years.
The days clearances in wheat and flour
from Atlantic ports were moderate at
about 100000 bushels. The Liverpool mar
ket was 1sd lower: Berlin was also, a trl-
fie lower, but Paris was strong and high
er. New York reported 100000 bushels
were taken at Duluth for shipment to
New York to South Africa. December pi'

were chronic sick headaches, dyspepsia

my case is concerned, was in. the restora'
coupled with other disorders, was my az
aictien in this respect, and alth9ngh q
some of the larger cities of this country
advised me | should always have to de-
service even then. DR.. Wong Hirn's rem
edies have enabled me to abandon totally
the use of any artificial help to sight, and
my eyes continue to give such service,
both for near work and distant. as is truly
wonderful. To the skill and remedies OF
the physician named can alone be attrib-
uted a revolution in my physical condition
throughout that puzzles those who knew
of the "incurable" character of my af-
flictions. Respectfully.
