ENGLISH MONEY MATTERS.
Stocks Of All Kinds Are Fast and
Loose.

New York, August 2o.-A dispatch to the
Times from London says: Just in the nick
of time your gold became available and
saved our market from a nasty jar. Lon
don stock brokers and others still grumble
at the smart stroke played by the chan
cellor of the exchequer; but had he left
the money market to its own devices, last
week must have seen the Bank of England
forced to put the rate up to per cent.
AS it is. thanks to the lending of credit
promptly on the shipped gold we have been
able to carry through the mid-monthly
stock exchange settlement, pay up the
major part of our share of the exchequer
bond issue. and meet other capital calls,
not only without any advance In mark ct
rates, but with an ever-increasing ease.
To further the help and make things
comfortable, the treasury paid off E1.OO0,
due last Wednesday, and we now find our:
selves at the end of an anxious week with
the loan rates barely more than per
cent and discount slipping back toward 49,.
How long will this cheapening tendency
last? Probably some weeks, but it is a
case without comfort, because we have not
yet received nearly enough gold to enable
us to cope with the demands that are
sure to arise in October and November.
Presently, therefore. the market must be-
gin to harden again.
But from day to day, money, as usual,
controls the discount market, and as other
centers of credit are equally without their
own in slack times, the stickler for firm
rates stands without leverage to aid
him in enforcing his ideas.
No further advance has taken place in
the German market. The Bank of France
continues to accumulate gold until now 1t
possesses e12OOO,OOO more than at this date
last year. All this signifies that if we had
no war outlays to provide for we would
face the end of the year with equanimity.
Even our stock markets begin to pluck
up heart and talk of business. All else is
languid enough, and railway stock con,
tinues to dwindle on the hints that the
trade has begun to decline. But we have
got consols once more on the up grade and
this week jobbers tell me discount on
'khakis'' will be obliterated. All this is
quite cheering, but the operators on your
side need not count just yet on brisk mar
ket here for American railroad stocks.

ARE IN THE PALACE.
japanese Troops in the Midst of the
Imperial Splendors.

Washington, August 2O.-The Japanese
legation has received several important dis
patches. One received today from Toxic,
dated August 10, says:

japanese army is in the legation, and the
division is mainly quartered in the villages

Another telegram, dated the 18th, gives
the report of the Japanese consul general
at Shanghai, saying Sheng credits the re-
port that the empress dowager and prob

the privy council crossed the Luken bridge
on the 18th. bearing the banner of the i'm
perial cortege. Also that Prince Ching is

WILL BE GREAT REUNION.
Grand Chorus at q. A. R. National
}f Encampment.

Chicago, August 20.-Although there is
much to do within the auditorium of the
new Coliseum before it will be ready for
the listening thousands who will be there
next Sunday for the opening exercises OF
the national G. A. r. encampment, the
work was sufficiently advanced yesterday
to allow Professor Katzenburger to give
his chorus the first rehearsal. That chorus
will be something for the visiting Grand
Army men to remember long as they
live. It will be composed of 5O7 women,
selected from the best singers of the city,
in addition to a number of soloists Of
note. The election of national commander
and other officers will be held on the
second day Of the encampment, or that of
Wednesday. There Is but one candidate
mentioned seriously for that office-Major
Leo Rausecur of st. Louis. Some of the
Illinois delegates have talked of Gen. John
c.. Black for that position but those who
know say the general does not care for
the honor He might have accepted 1t by
appointment at the death of Mr.. Sexton,
but he, with many others, believe that
Illinois has not right to ask for the office
the second time.
