REICHSBANKS RATE UP
4 One Per Cent McreaSe-MOneg
Market an Bad Condition.

Berlin Oct. S.-The return of the Imperial
Bank of Germany, issued to-day, shows the
outgo to have been much heavier than the high
est anticipations of the market, and the de-
terforation of the status amounts to not less
than s135, 600
Herr Koch president of the bank proposing
an advance in the rate Of discount from to D
per cent, informed the central committee that
the pressure at the end of the quarter was the
greatest ever experienced. The liabilities, he
said. had been increasing with only slight inter
ruptions since the middle Of the year, and the
outlay in discounts and advances on treasury
bills now reached S416,75OOOO, being the highest
In the history of the institution and s5S,0Oo,000
above 1904 The metal stock the smallest
since the end of September. 1900, while the
banks uncovered notes now reached $23Ooo0.-
00O the highest ever known. The metallic COW
ering notes had sunk to 1872 per cent, but the
rates of exchange would not permit the eXporta-
ton of gold.
Conditions at other money centres, Herr Koch
said. suggested an advance of the rate by full
| per cent, which necessary for the prOtec-
ton of the gold stock
Herr Koch pointed out that, owing TO the I'M
precedented pressure on the bank yesterday, the
first weekly return for October would not snow
much improvement, since the liquidation of bills
would be counterbalanced by the withdrawals of
deposits and It would not be advisable to wait
until the next return before marking up the
rate. The recent action of the Bank of England
in increasing it's rate was also referred to as a
reason for the proposed advance, which the COM
mittee agreed to.
The market is now looking with renewed in
terest to the Bank Of England, to see whether
1t Will he able TO Teplenish the gold stock with
out further advance in the rate.
The situation here is partly due to heavy
speculation on the Boerse. and President Koch
plainly intimates that the action of the Imperial
Bank to-day intended to put brake upon
excessive speculation.

conduct toward his neighbOrs was so

fully requested their minister to preach

Dor.
The day came. The little kirk was
packed though II few tender hearted
ones stayed at home, not wishing to
witness their neighbor's humiliation.
The sermon began, and Mr.. McDou,
gall disposed himself TO listen The
mans inhrmity was sketched with
bold, severe strokes. He smiled with
lofty superiority. As the denunclatlon
grew more scathIng his smile deepened
with touch OF complacent pity. At
the conclusion Of the service he swag.
gered down the aisle. One Of the eld.

business Future.

Russia, like other countries, would
get the benefit of general sympathy
more rapidly, IL she took some les
sons in manners from Japan, says
Golfers Weekly. Whites boastlng,
after the Portsmouth settlement, con-
trasted harshly with the brilliantly in
telllgent modesty of the Japanese.
The Russians, even more than other
western nations, are in some ways
barbaric compared to cultivated Ash
atics, but their future Is not less
promising for that. The difficulties
which they are compelled to meet are
manifold and dark. Mr.. Witte him
self. at present the symbol of enlight-
eminent to foreign countries is no be-
lever in sweeping changes. He has
always stood for cautious progress,
and he has well understood that Rus
sian peasants care more for food and
religious liberty than they do for what
Americans, French, or English look
upon as political rights. The Russian
peasant is not addicted to political
theorlzing. A clataclysm may possibly
come to Russia, unsurpassed since
1889. but in greater probability that
vast country, Influenced by the world,
will pick her way cautiously through
explosive dangers, and reach unity
and calm with almost as little COM
motion as attended the cementing of
the German people.
