FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON. September O. The stock

lower. Persistent Berlin selling in the
early part Of the week affected Canadian
Pacific. foreign bonds and consols, and
kept the public out of the market; but the

Morocco. and stocks in which Berlin and
Paris were interested suffered most
through a recurrence Of the liquidation.
American securities rallied from a weak
opening on better labor news and crop
expectations. but rumors of dividend re-
auctions and heavy selling from Berlin
wiped out the improvement, and the mar
ket closed weak. Canadian Pacific lost
eight points and the rest Of the list
ranged from unchanged to three points
lower than last Saturday.

of month-end balances. and although the

The Financier will say
The statement of the New York clear

only S015, 600 in cash. contrary to esti-
mates of a much larger movement A
more important factor. however. was an
expansion of $s.O75,OOO in loans. with a
corresponding gain of $S.0Si.OO in the
deposit item. so that the increased re-
serve requirements coupled with the loss
of cash brought about decline of
S.. Dos so in the surplus reserve. This is
now s23 26i. 100.
1t is interesting to note that the heavy
cash movement to Chicago and San
Francisco, amounting to $6,J00.OO0. which
figured in last weeks statement, appears
this week only in the statement of aver
