Posts London financial cablegram says: The
change in the discount rate of the Bank of
England announced to-day mad effect on the
stock market, ha wing been fully anticipated. In
deed il is believed that the rate would have been
raised to per cent but for the fact that treasury
bills amounting 100000 900 are TO be issued
week.
The feature in the market to-day was the speedy
rally in Am ericans. Prices closed at the best
Union Pacific and Reading were especially strong
Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific were a1so
good. Mines were better.

EXPORTS, IMPORTS AND THE GOLD

Henry Cews' weekly report, dated New York.
September 1S states that the very large snip
rnents Of currency the interior al beginning to
direct attent on TO the course OF the money market
1t is true the reserves still ample, but there Is
no saying how much further the shipments of
money TO the West and South may ru Ii; and IN
any case the loans of the banks are expanded to
oegree never before reached and continue each
week TO increase Under these cIrcum 'tances, IL
is gratifying witness the drift in the foreign ex
changes toward the gold-importing point The
Govern me IT report of our foreign trade for The
month of August shows that we cannot be far
from that stage.
The xports of merchandise for that month ex-
ceeded the Imports by s45 600 QUO, or allowing
for net import of 81, 3O0,01O of gold. bv
S43OOO,OOO For the same period OF 1895 he ex-
cess OF export was only $22 900 000; aud in
1895 the imports exceeded the exports by 81
U0U,UO0 The amount of stocks returned from
London during last month Is estimated 10 have
amounted to a value OF about $4,000. 90, which,
deduc ed from the trade balance above stated,
would leave about $50, 900 600 to credit from
abroad at the end OF ADJUST II seems more than
likely that this together with the subsequent
large excess Of exports over imports, must pro-
duce an influx of gold at early day, and that to
q liberal extent.
