FOREIGN STOCK MARKETS.

American securities opened firm and con-
tinued SO all day on general speculative
demand. The tone was firm and the de-
mand good.
New York, Aug. 2S.-The Evening
Posts London financial cablegram says:
'The stock markets were firm today.
and fairly active, for aSturday- Amer
leans were good, with promising mar
ket. Kaffirs were firm. A large number
of American bills are still offered and
brokers ask per cent. The stringency
in money here is artificial, in the sense
that the Bank OF England is borrowing
money from outside supplies"
There is renewed talk Of gold exports
to the United States. II is generally be-
lleved that New York will be able TO
command gold before long, but if the
money market there remains easy, it is
not Sd sure that New York will take it.

at the approaching Paris stock exchange
settlement"

OF the . per cent rule.
New York, Aug. 2S.-The Fninancier
says:
The statement Of the associated banks
for the week is favorable and reflects the
steady increase of general business
Throughout the ntire country. The grea-
ter pa-i of the increase Of loans can be
accounted for in commercial oans and
re-discounts from country districts. The
increase in legals about offset the de-
erase in specie, leaving little difference
in the reserve since last week. The de-
posits Of the National City bank show
an increase OF s2.655, $780, leaving a de-
crease among the other banks Of ST.
651 POO.
at, was expected by everyone that the
heavy withdraws of currency and de-
mands from thei Interior would have
caused a decrease in the reserve, but
this stands much the same as last week.
The extra deposits Of the Nationality
has been the factor Of no change taking
place.
The movement Of currency to inter
Tor points during the week have been
considerable. the National Bank of the
Republic alone having shipped over ST.
600, 900. During the ensuing week there
are certain to be further heavy calls on
New Yer, for currency, and the next
statement will undoubtedly show consid-
cradle changes. Everything indicates
that the country is fairly launched on
the sea of prosperity"
