Practically all the gold secured for this
market during the week came from the
Bank of England and was reflected in a
decline in the bullion holdings of that in
stitutlon of nearly $4,000, 900 in the weekly
statement on Thursday and in an advance
in the official discount rate from 3Ib to 4
per cent. Discount rates in the Paris and
Berlin markets also rose and foreign stock
markets were disturbed.
The tone of foreign financial comment dis
closed considerable perturbation over the
New York hunger for god" and the ex-
tent to which the New York Withdrawals
might reach. Protective measures were
adopted In foreign money markets, and
London money lenders were reported to be
concerning measures to discriminate against
the advancing OF further credits of New
York account The gold secured was said to
be the result of borrowings for New York
account. London in consequence exacted
wider margin on American securities in
loans. New York's borrowing was an influ-
ence not only in the securing OF gold for
transfer to the banks here but In the hold

revenue collections continued and the in
terror made additional demands upon New
York for harvesting purposes, these factors
serving to offset in part the gains by the
influx of foreign gold.

wheat crops and prosperous out-turn Of

fearful display of the evil power of the love
of money With the love of the world comes
the greed for wealth, its displays and its
glorles; and small temptation is the begin
nlng, which opens the way to crime Then
comes inevitably the public shame, and the
piercing OF many SORROWS, and the death bv
suicide. With these terrific examples of human
weakness and guilt, let it be remembered that
there are multitudes of honest and upright men
in positions Of trust. There are many men Of
purity and fidelity who are the strong pillars Of
institutions, of banking and commerce. and of
the whole social fabric. 1t is immensely impor

be produced by the home and school and thc
church.
