LONDON MONEY MARKET.
United States Exports Drawing th'
Yellow Money This Way.

London, Oct. 10-The resumption of gold
shipments has changed the outlook for the
money market. Grain shipments from the
United States are now large and cotton
also is en- route, while there is little, If
any, offset in the way of American pur-
chases in this marekt. So fer, indeed as
stock operations are concerned special
remittances in cash are being made to
New York in connection with the coming
sale of the Union Pacific railroad.
These circumstances combine to indicate
a somewhat large drain of gold, and an
advance in the bank rate, although the
American demand will doubtless be met
to some extent from Paris, French pur-
chases of wheat being considerable. A
moderate rise in the value of money Is
probable. Discount is rather firmer. The
banks are not taking paper freely, though
money remains in good supply at ! per
cent. for a week.
Bar silver is I'D per ounce lower, owing
to the general belief that the Indian gov
eminent has definitely refused to reopen
the Indian minis to the free coinage of
silver. If this belief is well founded all
the negotiations of the American bimetal-
lie commissioners may be considered at an
end.
The hardening of rates in the money
market has held adverse effect on the
stock exchange. Business on speculative
account however. is of such moderate di-
mansions and the movements have been
within such a comparatively narrow COM
pass that the effect has been rather to dis
courage fresh dealings than to produce a
decline. The markets were steady yester-
day, which is a favorable feature on the
eve of settlement.
Canadian Pacific railway shares have
wi a Ha
lent traffic reports. On the other hand
Grand Trunk shares have fallen
from 2 to 2la points, in view
of the doubt as to the in
tention Of the directors to resume divi-
dends. Wall street is obviously feeling
the effects of recent speculative purchases
and the persistent unloading Of European
holders. The complications in Cuba are
not so much discussed, but considerable
uneasiness is expressed as to the outcome
of the mayoraty election in New York.
Mining shares and Spanish securities are
weaker.

market is in a reasonably conservative
condition. But market made up prlh-
cipally of large NUM- or comparative
ly small holders, though in some respects
a safe one yet lacks some elements need
full to the accomplishment of large results
in quilting" 1t needs organization and
the force of large capitals and the skin
of experienced operators. The dlnerence
between the market of to-day and that
of three weeks ago lies mainly in the an
sence of these clements of support. II
has. however, this important but unnoted
factor in its favor-that a large portion
of the strong men who have recently got
out of stocks appear to be
satisfied that an average fall of tull sew
en- points in prices is a very substantial
one, sufficient to make many stocks again
relatively cheap, and as much as the mar
ket in its present temper and under eX-
listing material conditions, Is likely TO
yield These operators have their eye up
on the chances for another upward bound
in prices at a not distant day, ana they
think it better to lay in fresh holdings
upon the drops in prices rather than TO
force values down and sacrifice the mass
of smaller holders whose cooperation they
may be glad to have in subsequent Dun
movement A steady and covert move
ment of this kind towards the return of
stocks into strong hands appears to be in
process; but the buying is conducted qui-
city so as to avoid the effect of prema-
turely starting up prices. Just now, this
is perhaps the most important influence
affecting stock exchange business; and it
is of no small value a a means of holding
the market against reactionary influences.
We have now reached a point at which
any disturbance to the local money mar
ket from the shipment of currency to the
interior will be checked by receipts of gold
from abroad Over 100000 has already
arrived; and exchange has reached a lev
ell al which it will pay to import gold
Up 10 the date of writing, engagements

tation of about $4,000, 900, and the supply Of

The Bank of England seems to take the
movement easy, rs 1t made no further
change in its discount rate on Thursday,
the reason probably being that the gold

from the continent. Under these circum-
stances, there is no reason to fear any
departure from an easy course of the To-
cal money market. When the refiuX of
currency sent 10 the interior sets in. we
shall have another marked plethora of
money; which may prove to be the occa-
sion of fresh revival of speculative op-
erations on the stock market. The flow
of gold having legitimately turned this
way insures easy money for the balance
of the year at least The abundance of
time money at moderate rates of interest
viii tend to foster a speculative upturn in
the markets. The better outlookfor Cuba,
due to the change i'm the Spanish ministry,
and the less likelihood in consequence of
this country becoming involved, is a fav-

in condition. say to somewhere between 20
and IS. There seems no ground upon
which TO base an expectation of a 10000, 600
bale crop, and the market, therefore, APP
pears depressed too low Still it is likely
that if the bureau condition comes better
than rs, or Whereabouts, the weight of the
heavy movement may check any imms-
date tendency to Improvement.
Following the heaviness noted last week,
wheat fell 1G1l2c on Monday, owing to
the recent more bearish turn of statistics.
Later in the same day an upturn com
menced on a rise abroad, due mostly to
continued reports of drought in this coun-
try and in Argentina. 1t is apprehended
that the drought will give the new winter
wheat crop an unpromising start. By the
middle of the week prices had advanced
4l2G5c above Mondays early figures, and
after moderate fluctuations closed on Fri
day, 2Ld2i6c above last week December.
9l5sc, and May, 9llsc. There was no market
in Chicago on Saturday. but other markets
were generally strong, and advanced
about 1c. which win no doubt be appre-
ciated by Chieago on Monday, unless need
ed rains should have fallen meanwhile, or
be promised.
1t is generally recognized that early
rains in the dry districts would precipi-
tate realizing. and cause a quick loss of
the recent advance. From the looks of the
weather map it seems that such are like
ly to come within the next few days.
Corn was duh and did not share the in
terest in wheat; it closed on Friday at
291sc for December a loss of 14c. on Sat
urday in other markets corn was about 19c
higher. At present corn seems heavy, but
the price is relatively too low
Provisions dragged early, then turned
decidedly weak. and declined sharply; ribs
lost near 40 points and other articles in
proportion. For January delivery, closing
quotations were-pork, SS.67l2; lard. $437l2;
ribs, &.4712. Although most commission
houses talk bullish as usual, the outlook
is for considerably lower prices for pro-
visions. VIM. T. Williams.
