FRANCE FEELS CRISIS.
Failing off in Orders from United
States and Germany.

Paris. Nov. 16-The financial situation is at
last beginning to show the effects Of the Amer
lean crisis. There is marked falling off in or
ders not only from the United States, but from
other countries, especially Germany, where the
want Of capital is telling heavily upon indus
trial enterprise and trade. Several prominent
bankers predict that the Bank of England be-
fore long will still further advance its rate of
discount and intimate that per cent will be
reached before the end of the year.
Meanwhile money is accommodating on ire
mendous scale here owing to the exceptionally
good wheat and grain crops and to this years
vintage. which is estimated in round numbers
at ffty-eight million hectolitres, being some
millions above the average, counting from 1900
and although the carets and champagnes show
a weakness in quality the value of the whole
crop is quite up to the average. French inves-
tors continue very tmd about American Sc
curities, the prevailing opinion being that they
will experience still further drop in prices
Considerable French purchases have been made
in Russian bonds, which have risen several
points owing TO the good impression caused by
the opening of tho Douma. Money also is being
largely invested In French rentes The neral
opinion in the most influential financial c. les
here is that the most urgent reform needed IN
the United States is the creation of one great
national bank, based upon the organization OF
the Bank of France.
