NEW YORK, Aug. 28.--Fhe Times

beaten in its attempt to sustain the
money markets rates. 1t has borrowed
freely from the market this week in
the hope of maintaining discount at its
minimum, but has failed and the work.
ing rate is about 81 per cent with a
tendency downward. 1 believe money
must become cheaper for several
reasons, chief among which is the
stagnation of biusness producted by
politics in South Africa and France.
Our manufacturing industries are
kept in full activity by orders booked
before either of these sources of anxiety
become acute, but new orders are not
now pressing forward and unless these
clouds soon disappear we shall have
an outcry about the scarcity of work
with efforts to reduce wages, which are
sure to produce labor troubles. AS
for stock exchange speculations, it
cannot get scope anywhere, and even
in American rails the public is doing
scarcely anything. We are sorely tenn.
pted by advancing prices in Wall
street and by all good news about crops
and manufacturing prosperity sent
over the cables daily. but the mass of
people find their courage fail them
before the dangers of war and reyolu-
tion.
1t is impossible to keep the discount
at 81 per cent when seven day loans
can be had at 24. 1 am doubtful, be-
casue directly they go low enough to
open our bullion market for foreign |
buyers, gold will flow out, and the rate |
hoisting process will have to be resum-
ed. So near is export gold now, that |
the bank can only command supplies
coming to hand by offering farthing |
more than the mint price for them.
