NEW YORK, Oct 1.-The weekly bank
statement offered a warning of the small
reliance to be placed on yesterdays net
decline in the call rate as a reflection OF
the situation of the money market.
Speculative sentiment was brought to
the conclusion that a stiff money market
was likely to continue for the immediate
future, and there was selling of stocks
in consequence.
A group of industrial specialties, chiefly
among the railroad equipment stocks
with American Locomotive a conspicu-
Gus leader, were notable exceptions to
the downward tendency. The movement
in these was of professional origin quite
largely, but had as a, substantial basis
the extraordinary need of the railroads
throughout the country for large increas-
ing in facilities to accommodate the Hood
of traffic which is coming upon them.
The strength of this handful of stocks.
however, was of little effect in sustaining
easy at net declines running to point
or over for many of the prominent active
stocks.
The decrease in cash shown by the
bank statement ran to $S,4547 700, consider"
ably exceeding the largest of the pre-
lminary estimates based on the known
movement of money. This showing is
regarded as a ratification in part of the
unexplained increase of cash reported
last week, though the full amount of the
discrepancy is by no means accounted
for The showing strengthens the suppo-
sition that gold engagements have been
figuring in bank reserves as soon as MADE
without waiting for their actual receipt.
The effect of the decline in cash on the
surplus was modified by the scaling down
of the deposits through a contraction OF
S11, SS9, 400 in outstanding loans. The in
road upon the surplus was thus limited to
49, 153,S50, bringing that item down to S4,--
2S6,175. The loan contraction is believed
to be due largely to the taking over of
loans from the banks by out-of-town in
stitutions, which have drawn on their
New York deposits for that purpose dur
ing the week.
Another withdrawal of $2,OOO,OOO from
the Bank of England for shipment to
Egypt showed the drain upon the de-
pleted reserve of that institution unre-
iieved and pointed to the maintenance of
money rates in foreign markets.
Total sales of bonds, par value 81, $50, 000

greatest care is taken by the navy to
guard it's cipher. Each ship is provided
with a key, and the naval attaches
are similarly equipped. The number
OF naval attaches is limited, however.
There are only three in Europe-one at
London, a second at Paris and third
at Berlin 1t is, therefore, impossible
IT, send a message in the naval code to
st. Petersburg.
The state department would like to
adopt the code of the navy department,
but the latter prefers to keep its own
system because of the value it would
have in time of war; especially in view
of the general use of wireless teleg-
raphy and the necessity of sending
messages from ship to ship in cipher.
If the commander of a hostile fleet
were in possession OF the key he would
be able to keep informed of the dispo-
sition of American men of war and so
dispose his ships as to crush them.
The state department. therefore, will
have to get up new code If 1t should
be convinced finally that a foreign
power really is in possession of its
cipher, or If it Is possible for persons
not Immediately connected with the
cipher code branch to translate mes
sages that may go from or be received
by the secretary of state

FRENCH GOLD SHIPMENTS
Statement That None of the Yellow
Metal Was Consigned to

PARIS, Oct. ,7.-Leadng American ship.
pers of French gold say they. have not
made any shipments to the United States
out of the $5,OOOOOO recently withdrawn
from the bank of France. The report or
the shipment to America grew out OF
Thursdays statement of the Bank of
France showing that the gold balance mad
fallen during the week from s592 A 4$ 49, t, to
the attention of the bourses
where it was attributed to the needs of
the monetary situation in London:
When the London bankers Isac,, said aid they hey
reduction was then attributed to ship
ments to the United States. However
Iazard- Freres. who are the chief ship
ferred to and are not aware of any other
shipments to New York. They incline to
the view that. the amount has gone to
Egypt and other points outside of the
main markets, London and New York.
The managers of the Bank of France say
they are not aware of the destination of
the shipments.
The European Economist calls attention
to the movement of precious metals to
the United States and gives table show
ing that the French export of gold to
New York since January totals $5,O7O,513

STATE SECRETS KNOWN

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6-There is up
roar in the department of state over
the way in which such information
has become public property recently.
The key to the cipher in which all
important messages to and from for
eign powers are put is believed to be
in the possession at least of one for
eign government. This situation has
led the president to direct that greater
care be taken in enciphering and de-
ciphering messages so as to place the
responsibility upon as few persons as
possible.
1t has been embarrassing to the
president to find that instructions
which he sends to the state department
for transmission to representatives of
the United States abroad have become
public before they have reached their
destination. Sometimes the instruc-
lions were confidential and were to be
observed only in certain contingencies.
Their publication forced the hand of
the administration before 1t was ready
to play the game.
There has been an embarrassment
also through the publication of infor-
nation which had been obtained con-
fidentially for the use of the president
in determining the policy the United
States should follow in questions that
have developed. 1t is no secret that
representatives of the powers in Wash
ington watch the daily press with
keenest attention, frequently finding it
possible to advise their home govern
ments of what the United States will
do before the American ambassador
presents his communication. Fore
warned is always forearmed and the
foreign government thus enjoys an adj
vantage which Is not possessed by the
authorities here.
1t has been believed that the cipher
of the state department was so COM
pick that it could not be read unless
a key was available. Even with the
key an Impractical hand would find
difficulty in enciphering or deciphering
a dispatch. Frequently American dip
lomats who have handled the cipher
for years have made mistakes.
When the Importance of the subject
iustifies it the state department uses
the cipher code employed by the navy.
This code is one of the most complex
that could be devised, and naval Off
GERS say it it utterly impossible to de-
cipher any message placed in 1t unless
an expert person has the key. The
