HELPED Advances In stocks.

From July 90 to The end of the second
week In August there was little net
change. n 1t was generally believed
there was little chance OF n decline in
the near future. This belief was strength
ened when the bank report for August 10
was issued. and It WAS apparent that The
money market would not stand In the
way of any attempt TO advance the gem
eral level in the stock market, OF course,
this was not the cause OF the advance,
but 1t made the advance possible.
No one can predict safely what will
happen in the next few weeks and
months, but the bank outlook at present
appears bright. The unsettlement which
caused some remark In June and July
threw a new light on what may be ex-
pected under our present banking laws,
and those bankers h took chances a
few months z because OF their conf
dence in tho efficacy OF the Federal re-
serve system n their enthusiasm over
industrial and commercial progress prob.
ably will be more cautious In the future.
Furthermore, this country Is apt to re-
ceive further largo amounts OF gold from
abroad. Since January ]. 1915. W. have
gained an amount Of gold greater han
the entire supply In the United States
twenty years ago.
Every II knows the movement has
been remarkable. but many have over
looked the fact that we gain gold even
under normal conditions. In the last
twenty-five years. considering merely
the total stock OF gold at the end of the
fiscal year, we have gained in each year
save three. the exceptions being 1898,
1886 and 1910. This does not except
the year ended June 80. 1914, although
the outward movement which culmi-
mated at the end OF 1914 had already
started. In May. 1914. the exports OF
gold from this country exceeded the i'm
ports by almost $4,000. 900, and In June
they exceeded imports by moro than
$i4 1000, 900.
1t has been supposed by many that
this outward flow was due In part tl
uncasiness as TO the political outlook IN
Europe. while others have asserted II
was due rather to tho effects Of tn,
Wilson tariff policies.
