MONEY IN FRANCE.
The RUmOred AdUance an Bank Rate
Regarded Justified.

Paris. April 9.-The financial situation arising
from the advance in the private rate OF dis
count and the rdmored advance in the bank
rate may be described as one Of inactivity and
expectation. 1t is held that the defensive policy
Of raising the bank rate would be fully justified
by the reduction OF twenty-six millions in the
gold receipts and various other conditions. which
recently have come to the public notice. The
Improvement in the monetary situation in New
York is believed TO be temporary only. and due
entirely 10 the steps taken by Secretary Cor
telyou. The anticipated reduction IN the bank
rate Of discount in London is considered here to
he unjustihable and these conditions. coupled
with the lack of anything definite from Berlin
tend TO confirm the belief that the Improvement
in the international situation Is temporary The
wisdom Of the French financial policy is not
questioned. and consequently business is tnac-
tive.
