mined influences exist. Besides, your
bankers in New York could prognosticate
about it far better than we here"
Cosmo Brown, of Brown, Shipley & Co.,
in 10th bury, when asked concerning the
probability of heavy gold shipments, said
decisively:
well. that depends on whether there
is continued selling of American securities.
1t is now going on all the time, and if
they can pay here for imported produce
with securities they won't send gold.'
"Do you discern any growth of conf
dence IN American securities?"
"No, none whatever, and there will not
be until the currency question is settled or
there is prospect of it being
settled. If a commission had been
appointed when the new President
took office it would have tended
to restore confidence and the market for
American securities here would now be
better, but the failure to appoint them
has given the market setback"
"Is there no buying here Of American
securities?"
"None, exc pit speculative buying. The
good investment securities were being
sold TO get the high prices now offering,
and there is no inclination in the present
state of affairs to reinvest. That there
Will be some shipment of gold to the
United States in the fall is expected, but
it will not be anything considerable,
though it may harden the market for q
WHILE"
The London and Westminster is almost
if not quite the biggest of joint stock
banks in England and is certainly one of
the most reputable. Henry Smith, chief
manager at the head Office, stated in reply
to the Worlds inquiry:
1.-THE people most deeply interested are
those tho least likely to tell you, and I
should be very glad to have reliable
opinion on the matter myself. In my
opinion the continued sale here of Amer
lean securities is due principally to in
creased prosperity over there. During
depressed times they were sold here at
nomin al prices, but now they have got
money in the States, they have paid off
their loans and are buying back their Sc
curities. The price of wheat regard as
due largely to fictitious influences, there
fore the con troll will not last so as to cause
a movement of gold this fall. l was told
this morning by the head of one of the
biggest American houses in London that
they expect no shipment OF gold. This is
a better opinion than any 1 could give
you, but don't say it is infallible.'

the forerunner of demoralized market
