The Financier will say: 'The chief feature
of the statement of the clearing house banks for
the week ending October 30 was reduction OF
S6S5T 800 in cash holdings, this the result OF
heavy transactions with the treasury and mod
crate shipments TO other centers. Interest has
been centered largely in the showing OF the

panies in greater New York not reporting TO the
New York clearing house showed for the week a
decrease in loans of 81, $40. 700. decrease of
mately $1,000. 600 in deposits. In view of the
fact that November l will witness some rather
heavy dividend payments the coming week $

REACTION IN THE
COPPER STOCKS

NEW YORK, Oct. 3o.-The speculative
tone showed unsettlement during the short
session of the stock exchange today. The
close of the week brought some natural
inclination to close up contracts This
was emphasized by doubts of what the
bank statement which was published Safter
the market closed, would show. There
were new questions raised regarding the
foreign money position and its probable
bearing on the markets for stocks. The de-
termination manifested by the Bank of
England to maintain its control of the Lon
don money market revived discussion Of
the response likely TO be made by other
markets and the probability of a further
advance in the official discount rate of the
Imperial bank of Germany was revived.
The part played by the political out
look in shaping the policy of the Bank Of
England is receiving increasing considers
ton in view of the opinion expressed in
London that q general election in January
is likely. If the result of the Bermondsey
election this week shall confirm the house
of lords in the determination to reject the
budget framed by the liberal government
Of England there will be financial conse-
quences TO consider which will call for
attention in other financial centers well
as in London.
As pointed out by the London statist
the rejection Of the budget would involve
a heavy loan TO carry the government.
Based on the present price of British con-
soils, this loan would be issued at a very
low price, lower, says the Ststist, than
the present generation has hitherto thought
probable. And it is quite possible, further,
that the new issre would lead holders Of
existing stocks Of all kinds to sell on a
great scale for the purpose of being able to
subscribe to an issue of consols brought
out at SO low an issue price.
The formal denial by the president of
the Amalgamated copper company of
combination of copper interests in an agree
ment to curtail copper production induced
a reaction from yesterdays strength in
that group There weHe points Of strength
here and there in special stocks but the
prevailing tone Of stocks was heavy.

J. s Bache 4 Co. of New York say:
The money situation is made paramount by
the recent rise in the Bank Of Englands rate
TO 5 per cent. The rate has thus been doubled
in less than three weeks, rising from p per
cent 10 3. 4 and } per cent. That the action
is unususl. there not be denial. but to read
into it any particular rebuke OF American mar
kets is somewhat prejudicial. England has
found it less easy for some years 10 attract
gold than heretofore. This is due perhaps to
the growing Importance of other nations. Inc Inc
rise in the bank rate does not mean a scarclty
of money. but u scarcity of gold. In putting
up rates the Bank of England is merely safe
guarding its gold supply and endeaYoring 20
increase it. 1t is a question whether the rate
should have been raised sooner ffom 212
per cent but the hardship to borrowing manu-
facturers throughout England is cogent force
in retarding rise in the English rate ana
il was NOT until the bank saw its reserves
being somewhat heavily depleted through the
demand from Egypt and South America that
the rate was advanced by leaps and bounds
In the earlier advance. the bank was able TO
attract the new gold reaching London to some
extent. but not fully desired and If this
IS not now accomplished further action may be
taken. Some progress, however. has aireaoy
been made as a part of the South American
demand for gold has been turned over to New
York England has been furnishing gold to
many countries-Rrazil. Egypt. Turkey; Russia
South America and many of the British prov
incss An enormous amount has gone ont. The
bank desires to stop this in the interests of
its increasing Industrial activity II is
matter of ordinary business that 1t should take
care OF its own affairs, rather than finance those
of other countries
The question of exports of gold from this
country is yet in the balance; exchange rates
are close TO the shipping point, and If the
Bank of England is willing 10 bid more FOR
gold bars, il can command the available supply
here. which. however. is only about hve or SIX
millions II it requires more than this from us,
ii will have TO take further means of getting
it, But there other sources for replenlsh-
ment of the English supply. The Bank OF
France. for instance. is enormously fortified with
gold and can easily spare ii. Bankers here
generally agree that the situation in England
is not result OF conditions here to any great
extent. but be that it may, the circumstances
as they are developing. will make money firm
here until the crop return begins There is no
expectation of serious shortage"
