The result is that while the coun- try's stock of gold has incr ed from Jan. 1 to Nou 1. «hy approxi- mately $400,000,000, the federal re- erve bank of New York, upon which | the demand for gold export must in- evitably fall, has gained less than $5.000,000 and all the federal re- serve | r have gained less whan § csuit. i The general monetary situation, the transfer of gold to the reserves of the country and other countries and the increased use of paper money im Europe undoubtedly has and will continue to have an influence for prices, Mr. Roberts said.
