EFFECT ON MARKET

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.--The most i'm
portant event today IN a financial
sense was the advance IN the mini
mum rate Of discount Of the Bank
Of England from IL 10 per cent.
The action of the governors of the
bank was not entirely unexpected. al
though Il had been rather generally
thought that the step might have hcen
avoided for little while longer. But
the necessities Of the occasion were
amply explained by the weekly report
of that institution showing the extra
ordinary loss OF bullion during the
week OF $4,000. 900.
The changed aspect of the interna-
tional money situation during the
past few weeks has modified ideas
previously held that the autumn
season was TO he ono Of unusual ease
because Of the great accumulation Of
gold at the principal European CEN
ters-
Demands For Gold.
Persistent and increasing demands
for gold have been addressed to the
Bank of England from many parts OF
the world. India. Egypt and Brazil
have all made known their needs for
financial help Germauy's require
ments have been large and the re-
carried with 1t suggestion To the
English bankers that this country too
might join in the worldwide scramble
for gold. The course of events has
fully justified the wisdom Of the alb
normal reserve built up by the Bank
of England, Under the circumstance
II has been none too large, and 1t is
therefore, not surprising to see the
bank on the defensive to prevent a
serious depletion of its holdings
Neither here nor or tho Furopear
exchanges did the raising Of the Eng
lish bank rate have any particular
effect, the explanation of which
seemed TO he that the speculative

Costner, March Ave have been

as cold, lagrippe and pneumonia. Aunt

found dead in bed last Sunday morn

in different sections of the county with
parties who had been exposed to them

think it would be right for the doctor
who has been treating those people TO
make public statement through the

and the authorities take ii in hand to
stop further spread of them, and it
would probably been better TO have
done this three weeks ago for there
has been not less than three or four
hundred people exposed in protracted
meetings. and schools and nobody
knows how many will take them nor
who might die with them, and soon
would bankrupt the county 10 pay

BRISTOL MAY
GEL SALOONS
Owing to Conditions Peculiar to
Its Neutrality-suspicious. Town
Has Them.

Bristol, TehR., Mar. 3.-Will Bristol,
Tenn, be restored to the old.time priv
ilege of having saloons in its midst2
This is a question that promises 10 be
agitated in lively fashion during the
next few weeks.
Representative Cox, Senator Morley
and others, who have had their heads
together on this matter, appear to have
arrived at the conclusion that owing
to conditions peculiar to this commun-
ity, the voters of Bristol, Tenn, should
have the privilege of voting upon the
question whether they would like to
have the city charter so amended as to
give the city the privilege of having sa-
looms. In the events majority of the
voters desired this arrangement. Sulli-
van county's representatives would
introduce measure in the legislature
providing for the proposed change, it
being understood that the privil-
eye would be effective only so long as
the whiskey traffic is legalized in Bris-
tol, Va. .
There is sentiment among some OF
the business men that under existing
circumstances Bristol, Tenn, should
have the privilege of having saloons.
This view is taken because of the fact
that saloons exist just across The state
line, giving Bristol, Tenn, practically
all the Objectionable features of a. sa-
loon town, but without any of the
benefits TO be derived from saloon IL
censes, while Bristol, Va, is getting
all the revenue from that source. 1t is
not improbable that an election Will be
held In determine the views of the peo-
pie of Bristol, Tenn, in view of the
fact that the city now has saloons Just
across the state line. without any priv
ilege to share in the large sum of
money paid annually for licenses
Former Governor Cox has said that if
the people of Bristol want this privil-
eye, in view of the existing circum-
stances, he will introduce such meas
ure in the legislature.
