The partial re- covery of Tuesday and Wednesday and the diminished activity between Monday and Sat- , which always follows a sud- e recovery being in proportic ¢ of the fall. The New York xchange on Monday shared the de- 1 existing on every exchange for se- in the world. On the London and can exchanges the new demands of Rus- on China and the tension between Fran and Great Britaln over the West African situa- tion were almost as much causes for alarm as the relations between the United States and the resulting depression t Court decision in the Neb frelght rate case In favor of the railroads was almost entirel. rded. although it has been eagerly looked for each Monday since last s disavowal emand Lee's recall, the n of ulty over to Cuba in warships an gress of the $50,00,00 defense fund were all clited as evidence of tmproved changes In ou relat in. But that none of these had any deep-seated effect was shown by the course of es later in the week. The course of the exchange market and the continued influx of gold must be accepted also satisiactory adjust- sending provisions the voting by Con- | as additional evidence of preparing for emer- gencles. Last week the heavy demand for money from the interfor, due to the desire of | interfor institutions to strengthen their re- serves, led to a ri in the money-rate, which haturally started an import movement of gold. This week the money market was decidedly casier and the level of call money rates is aistinctly below that in London, so there should be a profit in leaving credits abroad at interest. But there has been no interruption to the engagements of gold for import, ‘which have now reached a total of considerably over $16,000,000. After the available supply of gold in the open market had been absorbed the Bank of England and the Bank of France re- gorted to the most extraordinary expedients to Prevent the withdrawal of gold, the premium demanded being sufficient under ordinary cir- cumstances to check the outflow of gold, Gold is, however, being taken from the Bank of England for New York.
