NEW YORK, Oct. 22-R. G. Dun & Co,
weekly review OF trade tomorrow VIII say.
CIvershadowing all other developments for
the week Is the advance in the Bank OF Eng
land rate OF discount to per cent. There
are special reasons for the advance, such as
EnRland's desire to protect her gold supply
and the banking caution against the danger
of oyerspeeulation but in the main the ad-
vance is a development of prosperity. In the
United States every report of the week
ranges from moderate Improvement to extra
ordinary buoyancy. The advances IN the
leading cities are uniformly favorable.
Prices on fabrics are rising and the acute
condition in cotton growing out Of high cot
ton costs are being met by agreement TO cur

New England boot and shoe manufacturers
are securing fair-sized spring contracts In
the wst and south. but current business on
fall orders continues to be moderate.

ENGAGEMENTS OF GOLD FOR
SHIPMENT ANNOUNCED
Banks Gain Approximately 100000
In Cash from Various Sources DUR
ing Week - Trading Closes
Weak and Lower
fBy Associated Press.l

NEW YORK. Oct. 22.-The stock
market today repeated its action Oh
several days preceding, Heavy selling
pressure was In evidence while the Tor
eign exchanges were in session. When
the closing time abroad had arrived
this pressure subsidized and made way
for some recovery in prices.
The dominant influence in all imam
ciaI markets. continued to be the Lon
don money position, as directed by the
Bank of Englands action. The rise IN
private discount rates in London proved
that the Bank of England found the
power to make It's higher rate effective
and to maintain its control of the open
money market.
This gave added influence to the ad-
.monitory advices from London of the
determination of the bank authorities
to protect the banking resources OF that
center from further inroads by foreign
borrowers or seekers for gold reserves
The rapid advance in foreign ex-
change rates in the New York market
continued; and engagements were an
nounced of gold shipment to South
American and London account. Nego-
! tiations were reported to be in progress
looking for gold exports to Europe next
week. Foreign exchanges reacted
sharply at the last.
Money Market Not Affected
The money market here was not un-
affected by these developments, espe-
cially the time loan department. Much
of the selling of stocks here was d.
rectly for London account.
The weeks higher money rates ap-
parently had operated to attract con-
siderable amounts of bank cash from
other points. The subtreasury opera
tions meantime have not been BURDEN
some on the banks, having yielded
nominal sum to those institutions COM
pared with Withdrawals last week of
over $5,0000,00.
1t is estimated that the banks have
gained approximately $3,000,000 in cash
from various sources during the week.
How the weeks operations in the
foreign exchange market may have af-
fected the loan item will be studied
with great interest on the appearance
of the bank statement tomorrow. This
doubtful factor may have had to do
with the fresh selling of stocks late in
the day, which closed the market weak
and at lowest.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par
value, 3,310,000 United States bonds

NEW YORK. Oct. 22-This morning values
suffered a slight reaction at the opening and,
a sin the past, advantage was taken Of the
opportunity to secure some cotton at conces-
sions and for the fourth time this week May
contracts lowered around the 1S&c level, with
every indication Of going higher eventually.
1t is expected that less than $1,000 bales Will
have been ginned to October 49, against g.,
29G 1866 last year. and 4, 4,420 25s year before last
1t is probable that a greater percentage Of
the crop has been gnned than in any pre-
vious year. The largest percentage before was
537 per cent in 1902. a year alike to the
present season, the October condition Of 1909
having been 5sS, versus 5s.5 this year, There
fore 1t is safe to say that at least IS pc rcent
os the total crop will have been ginned to
October 49, Compared with 4s.1 per cent last
year, even " 100000 bales be reported ginned
to October IS 1t will only represent the rapid
ity In which a small crop was ginned. and ON
the basis of IS per cent gnned to October is,
the Indicated crcop would be about 1O9o9, 900
bales or about In keeping with the final
bureau crop report and the consensus OF opin-
ion Sentiment is bullish, and any favorable
circumstance results in higher prices.

In the food than anything else. It was
taken 10 the dining room and sperad
out at once and nobody missed the
bugle that called them TO the first
square meal they had had in three DAYS.
That is. nobody but Mariory Bonner.
She had no heart for food. She was
worrying about Eben Nash It was IN
accountable TO her how such a strong
feeling should have taken possession OF
her in so short a time
She slipped away from the others, as
LneV were going down to the dining
room The noise and clatter, the happi-
ness or every body. now that they were
saved, were highly offensive TO her. No
body aboard seemed TO care one way or
another what had happened to EDen
Nash. except possibly those who hoped
that he would be found in order that he
could be tried and punished for a crime
she felt certain ne had not committed.
What had become Of him? on sew
eral occasions she had learned that he
was no coward. He had done nothing.
She knew that he had no fear of the
trial. and even II he had. from his ma
ture, as she knew II, Marjory was sure
that he would fight the thing out alone
Yet here were the facts. Eben had
disappeared from his station on the
bow.
A horrid thought suddenly came to
her. Could it be possible that the eXplo-
carried him overbOard2
No. she told herself IN a moment
SOMEBODY WOuid nave known OF that.
and all the bombs had been thrown to
a safe distance from the ship.
Could IL be that he was hiding some
where on the boat2 The thought had
come to her often. It did not seem
to be well supported There was no
reason why he should hide. Even II
he had he would be discovered some
time and then would be no better Off
Besides, the boat had been rigidly
searched, and there was very little
chance that he was anywhere aboard.
She came back again To the thought
of the lifeboat that had disappeared at
the same time. Could it be that Eben
had. decamped in such cowardly fash
ion2 She looked upon all sides Of the
question He would have weighed IL
we'll What chance could be hope 10 have
in a rowboat at sea- II he were not
killed ne would surely be picked NJ and
returned to the boat by some craft or
other that would recognize the lifeboat
as belonging to the Winnewaba on ac-
count of the name painted on her side.
Then the final thought came to Mar
jory. Was il the work of Picketzo and
Hicke? She had not considered that be-
fore The whole thing had come with
such a shock that she had not had time
TO cover the whole ground of theories.

trial in many Of the sections he will

Out where the cowboy is king he Will
have TO explain why he advocated free
hides. The farmers who swear by
Roosevelt, and the homesteaders who
are watching the Roosevelt irrigation
projects reclaming deserts, will want
inside information on the Ballinger-
Pinchot controversy. Up Ia the North
west he win run into the camp of the
insurgents who so nearly played hob
with the tariff bill and Speaker Cannon
last winter. and In more than one dis
trict he will speak 20 unfriendly audi
ences for the sake Of Congressman
whose acts at Washington in the tariff
fight threaten 70 lose them their Jobs.
He Will need all his suavity. all his di-
plomacy, all the potency of the potent
Taft smile TO steer clear OF threatening
rocks, but IL he comes through with
out staving holes IN the Republican
party craft. what better start could he
make for the 1912 nomination.
Meeting With Diaz.
One Of the most picturesque as well
as the most historic incident of the
Presidential journey viii be Taft's meet
ing at FL Paso with President Diaz OF
Mexico. This takes place October Is,
and under the gold lace and glittering
formaliues Of the meeting are said TO
