London Finances.

London. Sept. 12.-The announcement
that the Bank of England has decided to
hold one-tifth of its reserve in silver has
greatly astonished financial circles and
aroused storm of protest. Heretofore
little attention has been given in Eng
land to reports of Senator Wolcott's
work. and the present runner 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 in the
bank rate has agitated the money mar
ket somewhat, but the movement is
again delayed although the Bank of Ger
many has raised the rate to per cent.
The weakness of the New York ex-
change is interpreted as foreshadowing
gold movements. Silver. however. is
somewhat firmer on account of the small
India demand and has advanced to
20 I'D per ounce.
Stocks are fairly firm. with American
railways again the leading feature and

cant that the selling from the continent
has practically ceased. The Milwaukee
dividend and the publication of reports
of heavy traffic are potent factors in the
situation. The following stocks show
