The Markets.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings In Al
The Leading Stocks.

New York. March 1.-THE financial
event of The day was the advance by Il
full / per cent. to per cent. in the dis
count rate Of the Bank of England. The
usual graduation by which changes are
made in the bank rate Is half of | per
cent. and the full figure is an indication
of an emergency measure.
The news that the government of India
had bought $4,000 of South African gold
to arrive in London on Monday next.
while the consignment is still at sea,
points to one of the most urgent de-
mands on the Bank of England gold sup
ply. Trade expansion in India forms the
basis for enlarged gold requirements.
There is suspected. also. purpose to
curb the unbrided speculative spirit ram
pant in London.
The special interest of the New York
market in the English banks action lies
in it's probable effect on the placing of
bond issues with foreign subscribers. A
large proportion of recent railroad bond
issues of the large railroad systems have
found acceptance with foreign subscrib-
ers. The special Importance of this for
eign investment grows out of this coun-
trv's indie btednesS abroad on other ac-
counts Reliance has been placed on
still further subscriptions by foreigners,
especially to the New York City bond is
sue to be sold next Monday.
The merchandise import excess valua-
ton in February and the almost prohibi-
tive export price at which cotton and
wheat are ruling make this placing Of our
|
of investment for our foreign creditors.
The Bank of EnglandS action, it is fear
ed, may interrupt this process and draw
gold from New York. Such a result might
check the progress of financing of do
nestle requirements and react unfavor-
ably on the business and industrial situa-
ton
The stock market showed little sign of
perturbation over this prospect The
opening period of unsettlement was short.
The subsequent advance in prices was
due in part to the over-sold condition of
the market which had grown up in the
tWo-days decline. Discussion of the la
Dor situation almost disappeared. Much
was heard, on the contrary, of the pro-
cesses of argument by which could be de-
Quoted the conviction in the speculative
mind that the supreme court on Mon
