TOTAL IS $5O,OOO,0OO
Engagements Of Gold for Import
During Present Crisis.
GERMAN RATE is ADVANCED
Seven Per Cent, the Highest Ever
Fixed by That NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Becoming More Normal.

New York, Nov 9.-The total known
engagements Of gold for import from
Europe since the financial stringency
began has been brought up to $47,250,-
600 by the announcement Of Heidel-
bach, Ickelheimer & CO. that they had
engaged S1,2OO,OOO additional and by
the publication Of various other en-
gagements amounting to nearly So
100000. These latter engagements
have been made at different times in
the last ten days, but until now they
We're not announced publicly. The
head of the exchange department Of
one OF the largest gold importing
banks said that he knew Of at least
100000 additional gold engage.
ments which have been made but not
publicly announced.
The advance in the discount rate of
the Imperial bank of Germany from
67a to IN per cent Is further evidence
OF the determination of European
money centers to protect their gold
stocks against depletion by the Unit
ed States. The advance was fully an
tic1pated, as Governor Koch Of the
Imperial German bank said a week
ago that an increase in the English
bank rate would lead to similar &C
ton by Germany. The rate as now
fixed Is the highest the German bank
has ever had. Only a small part of
the recent American gold engagements
have been taken directly from Ger
many, but the German stock Of gold
has been depleted Indirectly, as the
American engagements at other Euro.
pean money markets have resulted in
large exports Of gold to England and
Holland. The American gold engage
ments already placed in Europe ap-
proximate nearly $50,000,000, so that
the present increases of foreign bank
rates do not operate as seriously as
they might have done during the early
days Of the money stringency. About
$20,O00,000 of gold has already reached
New York.
Aside from the gold movement the
financial situation shows an absence
Of notable developments and steady
tendency back to normal conditions.
