Fall Explained by Gold Plethora
and Cost of Living.
ny Cable 20 The Tribune. 7

Paris, July 2T.-The continued de-
preston In French rentes, which have
dropped to below 81 francs, is strik-
ing feature OF the Bourse, and causes
the public some alarm. But this fall
IS explained by flnanciers and econo-
mists as due to the increased cost OF
living and to the plethora of gold. 1t
is pointed out by the Minister Of
Finance and by the Governor OF the
Bank Of France that during the last
fifteen years the depreciation Of French
rentes has been considerably less than
that Of British consols or OF the gov
ernment bonds Of Germany, Belgium,
Italy or Russia, or Of the state funds
OF any European country.
The stock market Is at the point Of
extreme holiday dulness, but the out
look is full OF promise, owing to the
splendid wheat crops. both as regards
quantity and quality, now being har-
vested in France. Algeria, Russia AMI
Central Europe. Paris grain dealers
are informed that Argentina this year
will export to Europe over 100000
tons of wheat.
