NEW YORK, May 2OmThe Evening Posts
opened excitedly today and higher, but the
pace was too hot. and sharp reaction fol-
lowed In home rails, where the bull account
is still too large. There was partial rally
at the close. Foreigners were irregular, the
feature being q sharp rise in Greeks and
Turks. Kaf1rs after booming upwards closed
at the lowest. 1t is evident that the present
rise is mainly due to the bears being caught,
and some more failures are looked for at
the settlement. Germany has bought fairly
largely, but the public here Is still shy, and
the largest African houses do not want
boom until they have secured the conces-
sions they want in South Africa. Details OF
the gold movement for the week show the
export Of f21O 900 from the Cape. f17,0O0 from
China, and of $4,000 from Australia. Today
gold was very strong at IT'S 11Ad, and the
bank sold a small amount. Much mystery Is
observed as to the destination of the gold,
and few really know whether Japan, Austria,
special means, however, for knowing that
just at the moment Russia Is the chief buyer.
Indeed so keen is the demand in that quar-
ter, that about 100000 just arrived from
Japan Is not buying just now, and probably
will not until after the new loan has been
issued. The Paris bourse. which has been
the close on the selling Of Kafars. The Ber,
lin market was dull. Roumania short-dated
treasury bills are being sold there.
