OUTFLOW OF GOLD.
Causes Bank of England to Advance
Discount Rate.

London, Oct. 1.-THE depletion OF
the reserve, the continued gold re-
quirements and the gradual hardening
of private discount rates had the
anticipated effect on the Bank of
England discount rates, which today
were put up to per cent The
amount of reserve is nearly $5,000.000
below last week while the demands
for the metal from abroad, especially
from Egypt and Argentina show no
signs of abatement. The high rate,
however, Is also directly due to
America and Germany.
A large amount of American
financial paper already has been
placed here and it is anticipated that
the United States shortly will be in a
position to withdraw gold to the fur
Their disturbance of the London
money market. In Germany
speculation has made money ex-
tremely tight and an expansion of
German demands for gold is looked
for.
In some quarters there is doubt if
the per cent rate will attract
sufficient gold to build up the reserve
as well as to meet future demands
from America and Europe; so the
market would not be surprised If a
higher rate Is imposed.
Today's advance was so confidently
anticipated that it had little effect on
the stock exchange. When the sus-
pense was over operators marked up
consols 1-16.
On the other hand American securi-
ties which opened we'll over parity
dropped Il to u point from the
best on the higher bank rate.

skylight. climbed the pole and cut the
wires. Some of them fell across the
trolley wires of the city street car sys-
tenn, others across the feed wires of the
railway company which supplies the
city with electrical power.
There was a brief electrical display
Two policemen saw the dentist on the
pole and thinking he was crazy went
up on the roof to bring him down. The

The dentist hurled defiance at them
While he finished his work. Descending
he was about to cut down the pole also

CROPS OF THE WORLD.
Bureau of Statistics Issues Report on
This Years Harvest.

Washington. Oct. 14.-In it's review OF
foreign crop conditions, the crop re-
port issued by the bureau of statistics
of the department of agriculture today
states that the results of this years
harvest came well up TO expectations In
Canada
In Europe the situation is somewhat
mixed. Russia, Hungary and the Bal
kan states experienced considerable dis
appointment in the actual yields, while
in France and Germany, where only
moderate returns were looked for, the
harvest much surprised the hopes en-
tertained a month ago.
The first estimates of yield from
Russia show about an average wheat
crop but very meagre rye crop. The
fact that the latter grain is the chief
declared, makes this shortage serious
from a national point of view.
Recent official estimates fully confirm
the material extension of the 1909 wheat
area in Great Britain and the serious
contraction in the acreage of that grain
In Roumania and Germany
From the Argentine ministry of agri-
culture comes the surprisingly optinis
and prolonged drouth at the time of
planting, the present wheat acreage,
while per cent below that of 1908, is
fully as large as two years ago, when
the banner crop was harvested.
Corn IN southern Europe is far from
satisfactory.
From Italy, Russia and the Balkans
come serious complaints of the damage,
now believed to be irremediable inflict-
ed by drouth.
Sugar beets in Germany and Austria.
Hungary. are exceedingly light.
The beginning of the field work for
the new crops has been made extreme
ly difficult by the hardness of The sun
baked soil. To a less degree Hungary,
Austria ard Germany have similarly
1t is still early, however, and
the inconvenient delay may leave no
lasting effects, the report states, If
timely rains do not hold off too long.

and other brief details of yesterdays
execution of the revolutionist escaped
the censorship today. Though he had
refused their ministrations two priests
of the order of Peace and Charity fol-
lowed Ferrer to the ditch where he
was shot, murmuring prayers for him.
To request that his eyes should not
be bandaged, General Ezerin replied:
"a traitor has no right to look upon
the faces of soldiers Ferrer refused
to kneel and standing erect as the rifles
were turned upon him, exclaimed:

WHERE IS KATIE KAISER
Gov. Stubbs Asked to Offer Reward for
Girl Missing from Wichita

Governor Stubs has received an ap-
peal from the officials of Springfield.
Mo-, asking for state assistance in the
location of young seventeen-year- old
girl by the name of Katie Kaiser, who
left Springfield for Wichita, July Is,
obtained employment in that city and
has not been heard from since.
The Missouri officials are of the
opinion that there is foul play connect
ed with the disappearance and they ask
that Governor Stubs offer a reward
for the return of the girl dead or alive.

candy man had threatened the life of
the girl a number of times and it is

purpose.
