Altogether It la not strange that with the continued flow of money to Kew York, not only from all Interior points, but from Canada as well, money rates should have sagged to a low level and that export quotations should bava risen almost to tha point of Inducing shipments of gold. It was tha assump tion that tho decline In International rates hero would check automatically soma of the flow of money to Now Tork, but the banks are gaining between fl2.000.000 and f20,000.000 per week and thera seems to ba no signs of cessation In tha movement.

Tha growing fooling of pessimism, which has been evident In Wall street -during the last few days, culminated today In an out burst of selling on tho stock exchange. In the two hours of trading 406,000 shares of stock were dealt In, an amount larger than that handled during some full sessions earlier In tho week. Treasure was dlreoted mainly against tho railroad stocks and was unremit ting In the last hour. Large blocks of securities wero thrown on the market and prices crumbled rapidly. Union Pa cific, Heading and Lehigh Valley drop ping three points. United States Steel's loss was nearly two points. The other actlva Issues held up better, but losses wore general and frequently wero near ly two points. The pessimistic statement of Roswell Miller, chairman of tha St. Paul board, In explanation of the reduction of St. laul's dividend rata from 7 to 6 per cent, was largely responsible for tha flood of selling orders. The statement that "There Is no pros pect for an Improvement in general conditions," put the situation In Its most unfavorablo light. Added signi ficance was attached to Mr. Miller's statement on account of tho general belief that St. Paul la closely asso ciated with some of tho largest busi ness Interests In the country, bein-r commonly culled a "Rockefeller road." Some of the tobacco storks fell back today. American Tobacco rctjounded 13 points. American Snuff, after gaining three points, fell back five. Trading In Lackawanna was light, despite tho an nouncement of tho proposed new Issue of stock. Tho price rose five points.
