CAPEL COURT TURNS
TO ALOWER LEVEL
Speculative Buying Dimin-
ishes, Prices React and Bus
mess Becomes Dull.

Special Cable to THE NEW YoRK HERALD.

London, June IL.
A holiday atmosphere dominated the
stock market last week. and business
was at very low ebb. Partly owing to
that fact the general trend Of the market
was toward a lower level. Judging by
the course Of events, there was consid-
cradle speculative buying a little while
ago. and in some directions at all events
the dealers have good deal of stock
on their books. AS anticipated. GER
tain amount of Reorganization has been
occasioned by the return OF pre-war
conditions, and it probably will be some
time before matters settle down.
Two or three incidents initiate against
buoyancy at the moment. The Irish
unrest is still with US. and although
foreign political affairs seem to give
less cause for anxiety, they leave much
to be desired. Then. too, the cheapness
of money has not been as pronounced
as many expected. The reaction which
has occurred Is by no means to be
deprecated. for although there was moth
ing like unwieldy speculation. it was
obvious that the upward movement pre-
viously witnessed could not continue in
definitely without break.
Little evidence has been afforded Of
the movement of a gilt edged group of
June release Government dividends.
They have impaired no stimulus what
ever. Indeed, here as elsewhere, the
quotations have reacted to no appreci-
able extent. all things considered. but
the public appetite for the time being
at least is satisfied. To put it differ
emily, there is disposition to await
developments in the money market.
Pointing out the possibility that the
return by European countries to some
form of the gold standard is governed
rby political as we'll as financial consid-
erations. the current issue of the London
Joint City aud Midland Bank Revieto
goes on to say that 1t is generally
| thought that the adoption of a common
basis OF inconvertible paper would i'm
mediately result in a considerable in
creased demand for gold. and that con-
seqnently prices would fall. That view
may prove correct. the ReuieW adds.
and more particularly If the production
OF gold is restricted and the Far East
ern demand continues. But there are
| other considerations which point strong
ly against an increase in the demand
for gold. for reserve purposes, at any
rate. for some time to come.
In the first place. although produc-
ton has been on reduced scale in the
last few years, there has been much
economy in the use of gold and very
large amounts have been reclaimed from
circulation. Then again, there is a
growing sense that large stocks Of gold
for reserve purposes are expensive and
that Europe is in no position to indulge
In such luxuries.

Others being discussed are Cardinal
Lafinta of Venice and Cardinal Rat
