THE MARKETS oF EUROPE.
Large Exports of Gold Not Now Hx-
pected by London.

LONDON, Sept. 21.-Inactivity and dull
ness continued on all markets today, en-
phasized by the fact that the Paris Bourse
was closed. American stocks We're easier,
in expectation that the New York market
would be unfavorably affected by the cut
in the Amalgamated dividend.
Steamers arriving from Cape Town
brought f100,Co0 gold; this. however, was
in British sovereigns returning. 1t has
gone into the Bank of England. Mean
time, nothing further has been obtained
by New York on the European gold mar
kets. Today it was learned that the Bank
of France, which lately charged only 2
per mile premium on American gold coin,
has moved up its rate TO 81:
In good quarters of London banking
really large gold shipments from Europe
to America are still regarded as improb-
able. People who hold this view are
maintaining that New York does not
really need the gold. The money market
is Indifferent, and would continue SO even
IL e2,00O,0 900 sterling, which Is the highest
estimate, were to be shipped to New York
by Europe. -e-s,s
Some bankers go so far as to say that
the movement would be rather good
thing, because, with the exceptionally
high bank reserves in England, France,
Germany, and Austria, discount rates are
continuing to fall and would be properly
stiffened by an outgo to America. Paris
capital continues to compete with our
lenders in this discount market. where
bills are not numerous and a good deal
of home capital is lying idle. owing to the
great decline in domestic trade.
Today the Economist" enquiries
whether promising to continue former
policies includes endorsement OF Mr. Nc
Kinleys speech at Buffalo, indicating
that protection has nearly done it's work
and that wider markets must be sought
for American goods. The "Statist" as
suming that this is the meaning of the
pledge, observes, regarding the question
of more liberal reciprocity treaties that
Mr.. Roosevelt comes with a fresher mind
and will naturally bring more zeal to the
task than an older statesman of an older
economic school. Stock exchange current
opinion may be summarized in the view
that Roosevelt as President of the United
States is a different proposition from
Roosevelt as Governor of New York.
