GOLD GOES TO EUROPE.

Wall street has been SO greatly daz
ed by the huge volume Of gold exports
that 1t Is not quite able to make up its
mind how soon the movement will ease
up. Good authorities think the outflow
Is nearly over, but the same people
were not long ago estimating a loss
of only $35,0O0,OO0 altogether. Thus
far more than SIS. 100000 has gone and
the probable limit is now raised to
$75,000,000. Jacob H. Schiff's admis.
sion that all Of the money received
from the sale Of $25,O0O,OOO Japanese
IS in this country would be RENTED
to Europe, makes 1t clear that there is
a strong pressure for gold on the other
side for some reason or another. In
directly, Russia's $160, 900. 900 war loan
is the cause Of our heavy export of
gold. France took the largest part Of
the Russian bonds and called in fnany
Of her credits from London. Rather
than stand such a drain London gave
orders to draw on New York-since we
owe London largely and must settle
many of these obligations when re.
quired. 1t is probable that bankers
will soon resort to the old expedient of
selling their sterling bills against com.
mercial bills which they expect to come
in in volume early in the autumn.
These bills usually run for 90 days and
they can be extended at maturity il
desired.
1t is a mystery to many people why
money rates have not materially hard
ened. with such an outflow of funds to
Europe. The explanation is simple.
There is a hoard of idle money which
has temporarily been withdrawn from
business channels, while a vast
amount which goes into stocks, for
margin purposes, during times of &C.
tivity In the market, is now unemploy-
ed because there is next to nothing do
ing in speculation. Brokers who bor-
rowed 100000 or 3 years ago
need only 100000 or $4,000, 900 now.
Necessarily. the banks must put out
their funds for what they will bring.
