 The tone of foreign commercial com ment disclosed considerable perturbation over the New York hunger for gold, and the extent to which the New York withdrawals might reach Protective measures were adopted in foreign money markets. and London money lenders were reported to be devising measures to dis criminate against the further credits of New York account.
 The high money rates touched last week in New York had the effect of bringing some relief by attracting funds from out side sources in this country as well all though these credits began to be with drawn when the money rate fell back to more normal figures.
 Whatever restraint is manifest in spec ulation has been attributed to the pos sible strain in the money market, but confidence in the maintenance of pros perity of the country, and in larger divi- dend disbursements to stockholders in the future from the profit of business. continues.

READING RULES THE STOCK MARKET Baltimore 6 Ohio is a Conspic-
 uouS Pendant AN UNAVOIDABLE EFFECT Rumors Pointed to Formation of a Holding Company to Take Over
 Coal Company From
 Railroads.
AN UNAVOIDABLE EFFECT

New York. September 15.-Reading had the market largely to itself with Balti- more and Ohio as a conspicuous pendant g. the display and with number of low grade industrials making spectacular movements in the background.
 The general list was but little affected, and the majority of stocks closed at small net declines and were not notably ac- tive. The failure of the bank statement to come up to expectations had something to do with the result But the violence of the movement in Reading and the lack of authentic information to explain 1t had an unfavorable effect on speculative sentiment There were flying rumors of great variety most of which pointed to closer relations between Reading and Bal timore and Ohio. Hence the parallel move- ment in that stock. Other rumors pointed 10 the formation of a holding company to take over coal companies from the rail- roads, owing to the question of the legacy of their present holdings under recent changes in the law.
 Other coalers showed some sympathy with Reading but showed nothing like the strength and activity of that stock The cash gain of the banks was scarcely more than half the preliminary estimates based on the weeks currency movement, the increase amounting to but $7, ,932, TOO as a remnant of the weeks receipts of gold to the amount of over $2O, ,OOO, ,00O by with drawal from the sub-treasury against im- ports engaged. There have been receipts of gold also this week of over s. 0OO. 900 shipped before the privilege of withdraw al of government funds was accorded The cash gain thus shown would have been insufficient to wipe out the deficit in reserves without the accompanying de- crease In deposits by scaling down of loans.
 The impairment in the expected cash gain seems to be due to the further building up of the cash reserves of the trust companies to comply with the re- qulrements for additional holdings which comes into force on October l. Foreign exchange rates continue to move up away from the: gold import point. But it is expected that gold will begin to arrive early next week which was shipped from London last Saturday and which there fore did, not allow withdrawals of gov ernmenti funds under the treasury order which went into effect on Monday. The amount of these shipments is estimated at s4,O0OOOO to $5t000,0O0.
 The market closed easy under the in- fiuence of the bank showing. Total sales bonds par value, s1,612,000.
 The operation on Monday of the treas ury aid to gold imports was followed by the release of a flood of the precious metal for immediate transfer into New York bank reserves. The effect was to break the stringency ins the money mar ket by recuperation of a surplus in the reserves of the New York banks. which were deficient In the last bank state ment by margin of $6,577925.
 The market continued to show evidence of protection on any considerable decline,
