FRENCH GOLD SHIPMENTS.
American Shippers at Paris Deny a
Recent Report.

PARIS, October Leading American
shippers OF French gold say they have not
made any shipments to the United States
out of the 100000 recently withdrawn
from the Bank of France. The report Of
the shipment to America grew out OF Thurs
days statement of the Bank OF France
showing that the gold balance had fallen
during the week from $685.. 414, 434 to $751;
081, 323 This unusual fall of 81. 4331 III at
tracted the attention OF the bourse, where
1t was attributed to the needs of the none
tary situation in London. When the Lon
don bankers said they had not received any
French gold the reduction was then attrib-
uted to shipments to the United States.
However, Laxard Freres, who are thu
chief shippers, have not shipped the amount
referred 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 mar
kets, London and New York. The mana
gers OF the Bank Of France say they are
not aware Of the destination Of the ship
ments. as they deal with bankers who make
their own shipments.

United States and gives table showing
