GOLD IMPORTS
ARE EXPECTED

New York, Oct. 8.-1he expectation
became general early to-day that gold
will be shipped from London this week
for New York. No engagements were
announced. but probably the lack OF
an available steamer from England ac-
counts for this. The heavy inroads
making on New York bank reserves by
the interior money market and the pie
thora Of money offes.ng for the mo-
ment in London. both make an import
ant movement practically 4 certainty.
as the sharp drop in sterling exchange
to-day showed.
The large volume of cotton bills cop-
tinues greater than the demand in the
exchange market New York banks
with Berlin connections do not credit
the report from Berlin that gold is Hike
ly to move from there to New York for
the present. A member OF the syndicate
which subscribed for the German loan
stated that gold would probably come
from London, but 9 also asserted that
the demand to remit ON subscription to
the German loan would probably not
be = factor In the future exchange
market.
He expressed the same opinion re-
garding the requirements for the Brit
ish loan subscription. This Is a pretty
broad intimatiOn that the needs for ex-
change on these accounts have been
satisfied, owing to the low rate for ex-
change ruling some time past. Without
this demand to be reckoned with.
there is no demand in sight likely to af,-
sorb the continued heavy supply Of COT
ton bills. Only . sharp rise in dis
count rates In London In likely to avail
to put stop to considerable import
movement Of gold.

you believe ten per cent. to be enough:
If you believe that they will pay the
ten per cent. for year. then You

If. on the other hand. you reject the
Offer and continue the strike. John
Mitchell Will be there to help you do it.
l do not expect that this one strike
will eradicate all the wrongs from
