FOREIGN MONEY
MARKET EFFECT

NEW YORK. Oct. 23.-It was still
manifest today that the foreign money
position, rather than conditions at home,
is dominating the New York stock market.
Heavy selling orders were executed here
ser foreign account, and while these were
in progress there was selling also for the
home professional account to get the benefit
of the declining tendency in prices.
The selling pressure relaxed again when
the foreign orders had been executed, but
was renewed in the apprehension of what
is to occur next week.
The sharp reaction in foreign exchange
rates which occurred yesterday left hope
that requirements for remittance abroad
had been covered with the approach of the
period within which obligations maturing
in London November i could be covered
This hope was belied by the strong demand
which sprang up for further remittances,
not only to London but to Berlin The lat
ter movement was in response to expecta-
ton that the Imperial Bank of Germany
would advance its official discount rate
from per cent 10 per cent Monday.
There was a small withdrawal of gold
from the Bank of England today for ship
ment to Egypt. which raised the question
of the efficacy of the present bank rate to
protest the London gold supply, and de-
cline of a fraction in the private discount
rate in London also made doubtful the
banks control of the open money market in
London.
Increasing attention is turned to the Bra
lillian demand for gold in connection with
the heavy exports of coffee from that
country. It is this demand that the Lon
don market appears to be able to shift
upon New York The added likelihood Of
further gold shipment from New York TO
Brazil growing out of the violent recovery
in foreign exchange rates today furnished
the motive for the later acute weakness in
the stock market.
The final and lowest prices for stocks
were immediately followed on the tape by
the figures OF the bank statement. showing
increased surplus reserves under both the
average computation and the actual state
ment. The substantial loan decrease shown
by the daily averages contrasted with the
increase in actual loans shows the growing
effect during the week of the transfer of
loans from foreign banks TO New York.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value. 81, $50. coo.
