[Copyriaht 1851 by James Gordon Rennatt.\ Losxnoy, Nov. 14,—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tne Bee.|—This was starvation woek for vrokers and a week of scares for investors. The recent failures in Berlir, the shaky condition of the Bauk of Spuin, und the gloomy news trom Brazil have further unseitled everything, and even shaken some of the weak hoiders out of the American railrond bonds, which are quite as sound as when they were bought. There appears to be still a good many people about who do not seem to understand the difference, geographically and otherwise, between North and South America, and who take it for granted that the revolution in Brazil is going to upset the New York Central. After a few days® fright invostors camo to a sound conclusion on this point, especially when they saw vrices remained firm in New York. Conscquenty the week closes more calmly than sccmed likely three days ago. Forelgn securities of all kinds are under suspicion, but the Rothschilds are doing all they can to allay upprehensions us regards Spain. The gencral public, however, has lost all confidence. 1In the great houses of the Barings they were deceived; they argue, why not in the Rothschilds? Were they not baaly hit in the great copner ring collapse i Varis, and rumor insists that they suffered in Argen- tine affairs aiso. Even the Rothschilds could not stand a cycle of such years as this and Iast. Help Comes from This Side. The late rise in American rails came most opportunely, for it uwot only put somo money into empty pockets, but it helped to hold up the market. Tne truth Is, it is only just boginning to be discovered that the losses in South American securities has been ever so much greater than was an- tioipated. During the last few months there has been furthor heavy de- preciation, and one mow kunows what they are worth. Taora is. nothing in affairs at home to compensate {or these losses. Tho heavy drop in consols at the time of their conversion has nover been recovered; colonial issues have also been lower and the best bonds of Eng- lish rails follow the same course, The Fcon- omist today tids timid nvestors to look to New York as the ounly place offering hope, echoing the remarks made in these dispatches weeks ago. “Looking ahead,” 1t says, *‘the one outside market from which we can anticipate auy sort of inspiration is New York. In Amer- icans, buoyant as they have been, and may probably be again, Loudon may be sure to feel some sterling influence.” ‘I'his admission, from the chiof financial paper of London, may serve to show the dopth into which the people are falling. Matters are 1o better in other parts of Kurope. verywhore distrust is felt, combined with a feeling that the worst has not yet arrived The continental powers have to prepare to make large cash payments for grain, France and Gormany being very short of supplics, and toany the prohibition of oxports of Russian wheat bas taken effect, and the re sult will soon be felt here. It is now ad mitted that American supplios must fetch a higher price before the winter is over. Buying American Products. Last month our receipts of wheat from the United States amounted to over 2,500,000 hundred-weight, valued at £1,180,- 000, as against S61,631 hundred-weight valued at £315,463 in October, 15%0. This will givesome idea of the enormous increase in the American wheat trade, and 1t must go on throughout the winter. The prospects before the United States at this momont, thorefore, are cousiderably brighter than those of any other country of the world, England is buying less cotton, simply be- cause sho is making up less. Her forme trade is now divided with other countries, notably India and the United States, both becoming mauufacturing centers, as well as growers of raw material. What is to becomo of the KEnglish cotton operatives if this tendency goes on no one can tell. It isa problem that already excites unoasiness in our manufacturing dis. tricts and may prosently lift itself into prom- tnouce which will dwart every other ques tion. Hostile taritfs and foreign competition are striking deadly blows at British trade, although politic onomists witl uot adit the fact, no yet LONDON GOSSIP, Bits of News and Personal Infor tion Gleaned in the Metropolis.

It is about one quarter the requirad size, but small as it is the consul geueral is required to pay part of the reut. So small are the quarters that it is necessary to keep the cords of the oftico in such & place that if a five broke out the; tainly bo destroyed. During these repairs tuese bLooks have veen movea, und in ox aming some Mr New discovered tho ree cords as far back as 1793, attached to which was the signature of Samuel Williams, the first consul of the United States iu London. Williams was & Londou merchant who, It was supposed, sympa thized with the United States duving the struggle with England, 'The consulate was ostablished in 17 and doubtless if search were mado tho record of that date would foand.

She secured money today, though I understand she pald £40 for the loan. an Amoosin' Little Cu s, The Chilian correspondent of the London Times is not devoid of humor. This corre- spondent costs the Times a great deal of money in_ explaining that much of the infor mation cabled by American correspondents during the nostilities was accurate. That might easily bavo been, ns tho Herald was about the only paper having a correspondent there, This sort of thing wili hardly fitd place in any paver with the slightest appreciation either of the fitness of things or humor. The Times sent a man to Chili at the outbreak of hostilities. He was immediately captured in a social way, perhaps by Balmaceda, and bis letters con- tained nothing but eulogies of that defunct personage. The Times published two or threo lotters but afterwards depended for information concerning Chilian matters totally upon the Herald. When the war was over the Times sent another man to Chili. Hesaw nothing of the warand so far as Europe is concerned nobody did see any- thing or tell anything about the situation durin; the war except the Herald correspondent. But now thot there is peace the valorous Times correspondent attempts to creato tho impression that much of the information cabled by the Herald corres- pondent was not sent frowm the front. Ho has also been doing his utmost to create the im pression that the Chilians are hand and glove with the English and absolutely detest the tho Americans, though he cables no evidenco to that effect. Story of a Singular Suit. The Kquitable Life Assuranco society has just been worsted in a paculiar sort of uc tion. This action was brought by Jameson, the Dublin whiskey man, who is a company promoter in London. He sued for a return of premium on a policy of £20,000. He claims damages on the ground that vefore he agreed toinsure s lifo the agent of the company promised he should be madea member of the advisory board hers. This voard con- sists of wealthy prominout men. Itis not really o board, because it does not hold meet- ings. The usefulness of its members is in the fact that they are men of wide acquaint- ance. It is really a board of refereuce, and the greatest anxiety has been shown to have none but prominent wealthy men be- come members. Jamoson swore ho was promised a memborsiip by the agent. Mun- kittrick, head of the Equitablo here, ex- plaiued that the agent, who was in Austaalia at this time, had no right to make such an offer. Heo offered to return the premium or to put the matter in the hands of arbitrators. Jameson refused, and took the matter into court. The judgn thought the case ought to be settled out of court, making no mention of the fuct that efforts had been made by the Equitable to settle, The jury gave Jameson £100. The result of the action is & general subjnct of conversation in the ¢ 1v1s well understood that Jameson 1s used us a tool by others who are anxious to advauce their own interests by securing a membership on this advisory board. Financial vapers are exceedingly bitter against the Equitable, aud for that matter against two other large American assurance companies, Looking Aiter Climate.

Unfortunately, the Times has a correspond- ent at Santingo, who seems engaged in the offort to stir up mischief between the Americans and the English, and especially to disparage the American officors, The attempt meets with no sympathy here.

The dofeat of the unionist candidate at the South Moulton division in Devon is undoubt- edly a heavy blow for the ministry. It is not only a defeat, but a wholesale rout, the Gladstonian having been elected by over 1,200 votes. This means the agricultural laborer in England is in revolt against the couservative party. Everything has been done for the Irish lavorer, while not even a serap of ary bread has been flung at the samo class in Eugland. lrishmen can pay rent when and now they like, and if thay pay it for a fixed term of nineteen years they be come proprietors of their holdings. The Enghsh laborer now stands up in his wrath and declares that bis hour has come aud he will not be put off any longer. The conservatives have sot up the pro cedent of Ireland which will ruin them when it comes nearer home. South Moulton at the last election returned a unionist by over 1,600 votes.

The position of the Krencn recognized and in whicn the leaders know exactly on what parties they can depend. In France we find no such unanimity. The socialist party is split up nto three groups, the parti ouvrier (ov labor party), the Blanquists and the independents—and the heads of each faction do not know the exact strength of their followers. But gccording t0 statistics of the government, which the socialist leaders admit to be fairly accurate, we may assume that there are roughly 1,000,000 socialists in France. If these 200,000 are in Pars, in Marseilles, 40,000 in Lyons, and in Bordeavs, socialist parties is worth study. Wide dif- {erences divide the Frencn and Germans in mattars pertaining to socialism. Historical traditions incline the German to favor co-op- erative societies. Their military habits make them obient.

Despite its international discussion, the rench socialist has one general programme Yesembling that of tho Germau, that might beswmmed up thus: The political and eco- nomic appropriation of the bourgoisse and the socialization of all compliments of labor and all meaus of production. You will notico that the litical appears in this scheme, it was carefully excluded German socialists from the program of the recent Erfurt congress. The most important of the three French groups is the parti-ouvriers, or labor party. It is mane up of Marxist, or disciples of Karl Marx, whose daughtor married the mew doputy, La larque. It has ratifications in every part of France In Pams are the headquarters of what the Marxists call the nafional committee, composed of seven members eclected annually by delegates of the party. Throughout France the purty is di- ided into federations, which arc again sub- divided into sections.

Nov The roport of tho comptroller of tho cur- rency will demonstrate that the national bauks, which are the general objocts of at- tacks of all the cranks and financial r formers of the country, have not been such mines of wealth as they are gencrally credited with being. On the contrary the fiscal year which ended with tho fivst day of the current mouth hus beon remackablo for the number of bunk failures througiout the country. The averpge number of failures per annum is atout seéven among the national banks, but this year the number has reached tho remarkablé total of thirty-three. Of these, soven have been allowed to resume business and of the seven two had been ced in tno hands of recoivers before the comptroller was satisficd that thoy might re- sume. Usually when a bank is placed in a rece er's hands that is the end of it. Only once before in the history of the system has & failed bank resumed operations ‘after the ap- pointment of a receiver. Butin the two - stances cited this year an examinaiion of the assets of the banks disclosed tho fact that they could puy in full, and for this reason it was decided to aliow' resumption, The wis- dom of this course is demonstrated in the fact that the banks are apparently on u per- fectly sound financial basis today. Numerous failures of the year aro ived 1o any widespread financial distress but to peculiar complications which existed in various parts of the country, and it is as- serted that the failures word ' duo to local tightness in the money market as a rule, and 1ot to aishonesty on tie part of the offcials although it is admitted that dishonesty has played un important pavt in some cases while in others there can bo no question that the failure was largely duo to bad management.
