ENGLISH MONEY AND STOCKS.
Better Feeling Caused by the War
Situation.

London. May 9-The principal features
of last weeks markets have been abund-
ancc of money and an indication that
rates will continue easy. This may be
largely due to the fact that over f275, 900
has been paid into the bank for JAPAN
but the probability is that there will be
a further fall in the bank rate. The
lessening of the risk of a general war in
the Balkans has brought a better tone
into the stock exchange, while the cheap
ness of money helps also to force nrices
upward.
For the moment business is confined for
the most part TO professional operators
but if the political clouds in southeastern
Europe are dispersed the public will begin
to buy and a profitable rise in prices
soon viii follow.
