ENGLISH BANK SEEKS TO
DRAW ON FOREIGN SUPPLIES
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. THE directors of the
Bank of England this morning put up
the minimum discount rate from to
per cent. The only thing which would
have averted this rate would have been
assurances from responsible quarters in
New York that the situation there which,
1t is recognized, is due to the exceptional
demands upon capital due to the great
commercial activity In America, is suf-
fciently well in hand to warrant the ex-
pectation that there would be an early
cessation of the gold drain on this mar
ket. In the absence of such an assurance
the Bank of England utilized the only
weapon at hand to protect It's reserves.
1t is realized, however, that even this
high rate may not prevent shipments of
gold to. New York, but 1t is hoped that
it may attract the metal from abroad in
sufficient quantities to restore the equil-
ibrium,
The step is doubly necessary, as the
bank must nurse it's supplies just at pres
ent for the autumn country cash re-
quiremefits as well as the usual Egyptian
demands, and there is a possibility of
demands for gold from Argentina.
The local business community is bound
to feel the pinch, and the financers~ an
ticipate the drastic rate will cause an
even greater squeeze IN Germany Win a
consequent increase in the discount rate
of the Imperial bank and selling orders
from Berlin.
The announcement of the increase of
the Bank of England's rate by a full
point had strong effect on the stock
exchange here. Consos, which opened
3-16 higher owing to the settling of the
railway dispute, fell half a point. Home
railroads started one to four points
dearer. but lost most of the advance with
in a few minutes. American railroads
had a similar action. The opening prices
ruled around parity, but a drop of a
point followed Immediately after the raise
of the bank rate, and selling brought
quotations at noon down three points
lower than yesterday.
1t was not until the bank statement
was issued that the bank fully realized
how heavy had been the drain on the
gold reserve. The figures showed the
weeks decrease to be G3,13S,S07, the total
reserve being e17,69 7s5. against EGO, ,sSs :
6o2 last week and .e19.7O6,395 at this time
last year. There were inquiries In the
market this morning for another e1,250-
600 in gold fer America.
Bullion amounting to e1,210000 was
taken into the Bank of England today
and ET37.000 was withdrawn for shipment
to the United States.

STORM WEATHERED, is
SAN FRANcIsco's ATTITUDE
BY Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IA decided
Improvement was experienced here today
in financial circles. Money was more
plentiful than it has been for the last
five days. An optimistic feeling charac-
terized the bankers. They feel that the
storm has been weathered in safety and
that from now on financial conditions of
the city will continue to improve.
That the issuance of the clearing house
certificates has had an excellent effect is
now definitely known. They are accepted
everywhere. Another flood of gold was
turned into the city from the sub-treas-
ury today, SS30,000 being paid out before
II o'clock. This large sum came from
New York and nine-tenths of it was for
banks in this city. The rest, in small
amounts, went to banks in Stockton,
Sacramento, Oakland, Everett, Wash,
and Ogden, Utah.
The officers of the California Safe De-
post and Trust company conferred with
Bank Commissioner Garoutte today, but
would give out no statement.
The impression prevails that the insti-
tuition will soon reopen. The Citizens
State bank which closed its doors yester-
day, expects to reopen on Monday.
: r. T.. Ragland, president of the Citizens
State bank, saids today that the only
trouble with the bank was that from
October % TO November II had sustained
heavy drain on it's cash without receiv-
ing deposits to offset it. The clearing
house refused loan and ii was decided
to close. The bank is declared solvent
