LONDON MARKETS
Silver Bank Reserve Announcement
Rouses Wild Protest

LONDON, Sept. 12.-The announce
ment that the Bank of England had de-
cided to hold one-fifth of it's reserve in
silver has greatly astonished financial
circles and aroused a storm of protest
Heretofore little attention has been
given in England to Senator Wolcott' s
work and the present rumor would not
be believed unless the Times had given
it currency. AS matter of fact, the low
tide of silver makes the opposition
stronger.
The possibility of an advanced bank
rate has agitated the market somewhat,
but the movement is again delayed, al
though the Bank of Germany has raised
the rate to per cent The weakness of
the New York exchange is interpreted

railroads again the leading feature and
considerable increase in business on

cant that selling from the continent has
practically ceased. The Milwaukee divi-

situation.

defrauded Los Angeles citizens of thou
