ENGLISH FINANCE.
Cotton Spinners Hard Hit
Money Going .Abroad.
IBy Gable 20 The Tribune. ]

london, Nov. 6.-The failure OF the 5
per cent rate as an agency for drawing
gold into the Bank OF England Is gener-
ally admitted in the Street. Six per cent
would be more effective. but the diree-
tors are reluctant TO raise the rate be-
fore Christmas. The connections be-
tween the worlds capitals are close. and
money can always be found at a gOod
commission for assisting speculation in
New York or Berlin.
No British money is available for
financing Gotten speculation. The short
age in the supply, with the irregular
markets and enhanced prices. is recog-
nized as deplorable misfortune, for the
Lancaster. English and Continental
spinners are compelled 20 admit that the
shortage VIII amount to three million
bales, and that the industry ill De
raralyzed by the high prices. Talk about
an all-British supply. unteinted with
speculative interests, is heard, but can
not be taken seriously. The dependence
OF British spinners on America IS abso-
lutte. Takings from Egypt, the East
Indies. Peru and Brazil are about one
fifth OF the supply received from Amer
lea.
If the cotton spectators are not
backed up by the British money lend
eTs, there is largely increased employ
ment Of money by the cOntango. Amer
lean and German securities are row on

S basis for loans 10 foreigners who
need money for developing enterprises.
The capitalist can get better returns
from these loans than from the exploita-
tiCn Of home enterprises and marketing
new issues. This is one of the standing
complaints of the tariff reformers. In
Vestments in home securities and enter
prises have been discouraged since the
Liberals have been in power. and money
goes TO foreign countries instead of en-
plOying home labor.

he found Nine. Steinheil she told him
OF E burglary only. making no mention
OF her husband and stepmother. who lay
dead In their rooms. He said that the
