April 10. Tho Times London financial correspondent cables: Oilr money market Is In a state of wrath against the Bank of England, and all sort cf accusations are being leveled at the head of th present Governor. Sanue! S. Gladstone. Tho origin of the quarrel Is simple enough. A week ago, thanks to the enormous disburse ments of the government, all short-loan ln deblcdners of the market to the bank was wined off. This feat left the market verr hard Sip, but It was performed, and In anticipation of such repayments our discount houses had be gun to force rates down, until a good deal of paper arriving at the beginning of this month was bought at 3 per cent discount. This was bad business from every point of view, and some three weeks ago a him was conveyed to m by the bank that It the market had to go to It for money after the dividends were re leased on April 5 It would hae to pay 5 per cent. "As Ion?." the bank authorities said, "as we hold large amounts of government balances collected from the market, we don't think It fair to nsk more than 4 rcr cent from borrow ers, but the position will be altogether changed when the market has had every penny of gov ernment money disbursed to It, and then wants more." This warning was given and repeated, yet the brokers senscle-sly bent rates down In the manner stated. Then came last Monday, with the call for 4,500.000 on the "Khaki" loan, and Immediately the market found that It could no: pay, so back It went to the bank tor as sistance. "Very well." the bank replied, "you shall have It nt 5 per cent." Hence tbo wrath and the accusation that the Governor Is only working for his shareholders Interests, not for those of tlur market. How much was paid up In full upon the war loon? I cannot yet say, because authoritative estimates differ; but, I Imagine, not so much as 1.000.000. making 3,000,000, or at the out side 5.530.000 altogether. And yet the market hod to go to tno bank tn ths week Just closed for quite 5,(100,000. Most ot this was pro cured by discounts, the 'bank continuing to pay bills up to three months for currency at 4 per cent. Its quotations of 5 per cent for short loans merely represent r endeavor to compel the open market to keep Its discount rate as near as possible to 4 per cent. Jn order to post pone as long as possible an advance In the bank rate to 5 per cent. And the market rate do hover around 4 per cent, one hour a frac- CULUSONMO.

Last Saturday It was a fraction below, but mow of the mercantile houses were shut M?. The Bank of England expects to receive soma gold from Russia, via Oermany, but not a great deal, for the very good reason that Russia would not rend a pound .It she could help herseir. Naturally, ith the holidays In prospect, disappointments about the progress of the war and a fresh twinge of scarcity In tho credit market, our stock exchange has been dumpish and Idle, disposed to sell everything It was, carrying, so as to take Its holiday In peace of mind. Under such conditions, you can well understand that the boom In your laisTHy se curities has made no appreciable progress. Were It not for the powerful support accorded from New Tork. prices for all best-known stocks must have been worse than they were, because brokers tell me It has been to realise, and nothing but realize, among British opera tors all the past week, until the market dosed on Thursday.
