WALL STREET NOTES.

Uptown Sentiment-London's re.
Spouse to the advance in the Bank oil
England's discount rate to 5 per cent.
by an advance in price of British Con-
soils, ven though small, indicated tina,
the stronger financial interests on the
other side were fairly cognizant of the
necessity for such action. 1t 10 rather
curious that the effect of the movement
to strengthen the reserves of England's
central institution should be felt most
acutely by American securities. 1t Is
evident that owing to prominence OF
American railway shares in the London
market for some time past, the purely
speculative element Is on the alert to
take advantage of all possible factors
of influence, irrespective of any broad
consideration of monetary matters.
That the local bear party which
seems to have acquired considerable
strength will attempt to make the most
of the advance In the English bank
rate is taken for granted, but serious
doubts are entertained In conservative
quarters Of It's being able to make more
than tempSrary Roadway.
Bank Of England rate increased &c
6 per cent. While the London prices
are considerably lower than yesterdays
close. it will be recalled that the in
crease In the bank rate was found to
have been discounted when announced
last Thursday. This may prove TO be
the case again today. as the list hesi-
tated yesterday on the expectation Of
an increase In the rate. The Bank OF
England governors have evidently
taken the bull by the horns, and have
raised their bank rate to 5 per cent.
thus lifting the rate from 8 to 5 per
cent. within a month, an action that
has not been paralleled in normal
times. This action confirms the belief
current here earlier in the week, that
the leading financial institutions OF
England and Germany believe that
there was too much speculation In
American securities and It ought to be
curtailed. Brokers report that the
United States, through it's leading
bankers, was borrowing upward of
$4oo, 900, 900 on its finance bills from
European centres. Mr.. Schifr, OF Kuhn,
Loeb & Co, said this morning that a
great part Of this has been %liquidated.
Continental cities have also sold
American stocks within the last W
weeks, thus reducing the loans. Never
theless the demand for capital made by
the Bank of England this morning
will be felt In all quarters of the busi-
ness world, and an immediate response
will be made by higher discount rates
here. Brokers believe the. action Of
the Bank of England today will have
an immediate effect In forcing the flow
OF money to London. It's effect on the
stock market will be temporarily for
lower prices.

BOOSTS DISCOUNT
RATE TO FIVE PER CENT.
Highest Since Panic Here Two
Years Ago.

LONDON, Oct. 21.-The Bank a
England today raised It's minimum
rate of discount another full point to
8 per cent, the highest it has stood
since the American furry of 1907. This
Is the third consecutive week that the
directors of the bank have considered
1t necessary to strengthen the barriers
against a further leakage Of gold re-
serves. The International monetary
position shows nc material improve
ment during the past week, and the
banks reserve. which IL now nearing
the sll0,O00,000 mark. is threatened with
a further depletion this week by the
south American and Egyptian require
ments, estimated at $500. 0o0., NJ
foreign exchanges have been
steadily against London. particularly
Berlin. where gold is badly needed, and
where the 9 x arrival Of the metal
probably would have gone but for the
imposition of the s per cent rate. 1t
is known that requirements from other
centres would soon reduce the reserve
to below 500, 900, 900 unless the new rate
attracts gold.
n market sees in today's rise a.
general warning against speculative
operations, and the announcement was
followed by a dropping in prices.

THE COTTON MARKET.

support from Western and Southern
bulls. AS o as the early orders had
been executed, however. the market
turned easier again, with. prices about
5 to Z points net lower under q renewal
OF realizing and local bear pressure.
The market continued very nervous
late in the forenoon, but after having
sold off to a net loss Of 10@11 points in
spite OF the bullish national ginners'
showing of 5,Ss3,000 bales ginned to
October IS, ruled a little steadier on
continued Southern supper and wall
