STILL AFRAID
OF BRYANISM
So Says Governor Of Bank Of England
Regarding American Securities.
GOLD EXPORTS IMPROBABLE
The Large rsymeats Coming Due for Wheat
Viii Be Mostly From the Continent
apd Not From England.

New York. August 25.-A World dis
patch from London says
Il do not anticipate any private ship
MEETS Of gold from England to the Unit
ed States this autumn" said Hugh
Smith, governor Of the Bank OF England.
There may be some from the continent
from France chiefy-but as far as En-
glaad is concerned. / see no reason at
present TO believe we shall be sending
away any considerable quantity OF gold.
We have a very fair harvest here" he
continued. NO. eaough, OF course. for
our wants. but more abundant than the
average. Besides that. It Is probable
that the buying back Of American Sc
curitles by the United States will tend
to equaiize matters. redressiag what
ever balance there may be.
II can't see any tangible reason for
believing exceptional shipments are go
ing. American exchange remains very
firm for one thing. and the American
bankers have seen on the matter do
not consider anything likely to happen
to cause such shipments from England.
There has been recently a substantial
improvement 10 the market for Amer
ican securities, due almost entirely to
American buying,
HAS not the English investor renewed
confide1ce in American securit.es?"
NO. should say not; there has been
10 change in that direction here The
difficulties of the Baltimore & Ohio has
greatly tended to check any inclination
,here might have been That was con-
s.dcred among the soundest Of American
securities. and the trouble IN connection
with it has and its effect"
Then l may take it that the banking
feeling her IL tha, American securities
are SIN uncertain, unreliable inves.-
ments?"
yes, there is a feeling that American
finance is still in an Unsettled condition.
There has been no such restoration OF
confidence as would be calculated to
make any difference in the impression
that has prevailed for some time, and as
to your original question, my view
Is that there is no ground at present
for expecting any substantial movement
of gold to America from England"
But will there not be large paymsnts
coming due for wheat at its enhanced
value?"
YES, but mainly from the continent
but not from England, where the harvest
has been almost a bountiful one and TO
a large exten; is saved already"
Francis Barring. manager of the Barring
fim. took a similar view.
