q, letter da the Times this morning,
in the course OF which he says:
AS a binetalliSt and as one of the
senior members of the bank court
think I have a right to ask on what
ground the writer of the article entitled
A Renaissance in your Saturday
iesue, makes his assertion that the
bank has decided to hold a fifth of its
reserve in silver Had the bank done
so, its action would have been, strictly
in accordance with the bank act of
1914, and equally in accordance with the
action taken in 1881 by the government
then presided over by a IIlOrOnletaliiSt
Mr.. G4aastcTa What the bank did in
1881 was to assure the treasury that the
bank would always be open to the pur-
chase of silver on condition OF the re-
turn of the qnints of other countries to
such rules as would insure certainty
of conversion of gold into silver and of
silver into gold.

no ground for saying that anyone con-

Londoners Still Discussing the
Banks Silver Reserve.

London, Sept. 1.-THE announcement
that the Bank of England has decided
to hold one-hhth of its reserve in silver
has greatly agtonIslhed financial circles
and has aroused storm of protest.
Heretofore little attention has been
given in England to the reports of
Senator Wolcott's work and the pres
ent runor would not be believed unless
the Times had given it currency. As a
matter of fact, the low tide of silver
makes the opposition stronger.
The possibility of an advance of the
bank rate has agftated the money mar
kets somewhat, but the movement is
again delayed, although the Bank of
Germany has raised the rate to 4 per
CERT. The weakness OF New York eX-
change is interpreted as foresnadowing
