The Financter says: The most reliable of
the estimates of the actual movements of

ment show that last week the banks gained
$685. 400, notwithstanding the large gold ship
nents to Europe. The payments by the sub
treasury for unmatured bonds and for new
gold the net receipts by the banks in the
interior and the receipts Of gold from Mon
treal together exceeded by the above amount
the sum withdrawn for shipment to Europe
and the excess of receipts over payments by
the sub-treasury on the regular operations Of
that office. The amount paid for bonds pur-
chased by the treasury was S4,S64, 500, and the
disbursements for assay Office checks. repre-

at least moderately easy money after the in

has not driven borrowers to resort to the time
money markets to supply themselves against a
ent rates, which are rather below the current
rates for call loans, to say nothing of what
they would be in the event of stringency by
reason OF the gold exports. The extensive re-
sources of the domestic money market are
illustrated by the constant recuperation against
the losses Of the gold output Although this out
flow is about normal at the season of heaviest
merchandise exports, and must be to a large
extent unforeseen, it is partly made good BY
the constant inflow of Australian gold at the
Pacific Coast. This countrys own production

explain the facility with which the needs of
European countries for the metal for money
the Treasury Department for redemption of
Government bonds is also a safety valve
against money strtngency. although the effect
OF these redemptions is modified by the fact
that some of the bonds offered for redemption
are withdrawn from the treasury. where they
were deposited to secure circulation, thus ope-
rating to retire that much circulation. The re-
taxation of the tension in the foreign exchange
market in the latter part of the week has been
an important influence in relieving fears of
money stringency and revivtng speculative
movements in the stock list. The absence of
gold exports to-day is taken as assurance that
the requirements abroad are satisfied as It was
expected shipments would be necessary to meet
American subscriptions. due in London on De

British loan Besides the British loan a large
Russian loan early next year is impending,
while the Chinese loan to provide that Govern
ment with resources to meet indemnity charges
is to be made some time in the ruture Whether
these requirements be met without further
resort to our money market remains unset
tied problem. The considerations which served
to make these doubtful factors in the stock
market have to do with the extraordinary trade
activity and prosperity of the country as re-
hected in the record consumption of pig iron in
attempts to keep up with current orders, heavy
volumes of bank clearances and volume of
traffic in all lines never equaled and beyond
the capacity of the railroads to meet in spite
Of the great increase of equipment and carrying
