$4,000 GOLD FOR CANADA.
Name OF shipper Kept secret AZ
sub-Treasury.

II was announced yesterday that $780,
600 gold was being withdrawn from the
Sub-Treasury for shipment to Canada.
Sub-Treasury officials refused to dlvulge
what bank or financial institution was
making the shipment. Inquiry at the
offices of the various Canadian banks
revealed that none of these institutions
was interested In the shipment officials
OF these banks said that they were unable
to get sold. as the banks had stopped
paying gold certificates.
As most Of the national banks have
announced that they do not propose to
make any further gold shipments TO
Canada and as the gold reserves of the
trust companies are generally believed to
be considerably less than those OF the
national banks. It was believed in the
financial district that the 100000 gold
withdrawal might he In tho interest of
some OF the private banking institutions
which shipped gold on the kronprinzessin
Cecile. 1t was recalled that when Tho
German liners cargo OF gold was re-
turned to New York the greater part OF
II was placed IN the Sub-Treasury, and
Il Is thought not unlikely that some bank
ing institution might have been withdraw
ing it's gold deposited there and which
had already been set aside for export.

THE STEEL MARKET.
Advance In About Oue-Hslf the FIN
ish~d Products.

Steel prices have been irn during the
past week. and advances were made in
about ne-half the finished lines. The
unified tonnage statement of the steel
Corporation was less favorable than some
steel interests had expected, although the
improvement for July az compared with
that OF June was evident.
Talk during the past week has centred
largely upon the trade possibilities with
South America as the direct result OF the
European war. Great Britain and Ger
many will be cut of from that business
and the southern republics are showing
interest In the attitude OF steel Interests
here. The mills have specifications on
hand sufficient to keep them running
about one month. and II is estimated that
they will be able to operate for a much
longer period AZ about two-thlrds of
capacity.
Exports, especially 20 the United King
dom. will he resumed. It is expected, at
an early date. II IL not thought that any
large amount OF steel production will be
lost through scarcity OF ferromanGanese,
but the prices paid for transporting ferro-
manganese from india and Brazil will be
sufficiently large to cause fancy prices for
finished steel products.

THE GRAIN MARKET.
wheat Declines sharply on Gencr-
ally Beari.h Sentiment.

Wheat wac heavy again yesterday and
prices throughout the session ruled below
those OF the previous close, some Sellins
was induced by moro favorable reports
regarding threshng conditions in the
Northwest Tho Increase IN the spri'G
wheat movement tended TO weaken North
western markets Export sentiment is
mixed and traders appear at loss
whether to expect rise or fall In prices
when sailings have returned to anything
approaching normal.
The meeting at Washington on FRI
day between tho Secretary OF the Treas
ury, bankers ana grain exporters II was
agreed should result In marked improve
ment in the situation. Tho fact that safe
conduct for vessels OF neutral nation IL
now afforded In the North Sea was also
commented upon In a more cheerful light.
Prices declined from 2Ts to 3ssc.,
but made later recoveries on covering
by shorts and finished eis 10 2Hsc. lower
for the day. Duluth wheat stocks in
creased $50, 900 bushels for the week and
Minneapolis wheat stocks decreased 1907
900 bushels for one day. The unwar-
ranted imitation in food values, which has
engaged Federal and State attention, IL
a powerful factor against advancing wheat
prices further.
Corn was lower, showing final recess
sion of Il to lc. The greatest ease
appeared In the September delivery. al
though earlier losses of 1c. had been
shown for all positions. More favorable
Southwestern weather reports induced
commission house selling. Liberal re-
ceipts are looked for next week, The
market steadled toward the close.
Oats lost about &c, following previous
declines OF slightly more than lc. Steadi-
ness developed in the late trading on the
report OF additional sales for export.

HEAR EXPRESS FORCE IS CUT.
Rumor In Financial District Not
Confirmed by American Company.

" was reported yesterday in the fnan-
cial district that owing to the inroads
made In tho express business by the Eu-
ropean war the American Express
Company had dismissed IA considerable
number Of its men and had reduced the
salaries OF those employees receiving more
than $1,000 per ennum. The rumo was
that salaries from $4,000 TO $4,000 were
reduced per cent, while those of from
$4,000 20 $1,000 wero reduced 10 por cent
Employees receiving more than 81, 900 had
their salaries cut 20 per cent.
The report added that the entire foreign
department OF the American Express Com
psny hero had suspended business and
that seventy men had been discharged.
Inquiry at tho Offices of the American
Express Company brought forth the state
ment that IN tho foreign exchange de-
partment some Of the men were being
placed on part time. but that all woul ]
be restored to full time with the return
OF foreign business. officials OF the com
pany secuted the idea that men IN other
departments were being laid of and re-
fused to discuss the reported reduction In
salaries

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
The Cash Market.

Tho Stock Exchange authorities have
maintained complete secrecy In regard TO
the Dash transactions now being arranged
BY them for the benefit of the situation
and FOR the purpose OF replacing weekly
margined accounts with investment buy
ing. Nothing Is known OF the bids and
OFFERS submitted or of the amounts OF
stock involved. II has been the impress
sion that quite a large aggregate Of or
ders to buy and to sell would DO sub
mitted. 1t was reported around the
Street yesterday that one firm had been
able TO sell a fair amount of stock ut
prices considerably above the closing ON
the exchange II this Is true, and II Is
representative of the experience Of other
sellers, II would indicate that buying
orders have been rather strongly In OK
cess of selling orders Whether this sit
uation will continue however. IL another
matter. 1t 10 possible that the first rush
OF buying orders, including a demand per-
haps from shorts might temporarily
mako for higher prices and that when this
was largely filled the market would re-
lapse. Probably. therefore. nothing much
could be gained from knowledge OF the
exact prices made.
