Shipment of Wheat and Cotton Ar Ceasing Cold to Flow Our Way ia Spit of Action of European Banks to Restrain. NEW YORK, Nor. 7-Th contest to day in tba European money markets to retain their gold resource waa Indi cated by th simultaneous action today of three large central lank of Europe and a call for a meeting tomorrow of th fourth. Th Bank of England ad vanced it U. S. rate 7 per cent, a rata which ha not been reached alnce 1873. Tba Bank of Franc advanced its regular discount rat from 3 1-4 per cent and tha fixed rat for loans on se curities at 4) per cent. Tha National bank of Belgium advanced the rat of discount at 61 to 0 per cent, and a meeting tomorrow baa been called of th governing board of banker of Ger many when It I expected the discount rata will be raised to 7 per cent These movement in Europe are regarded a an Indication of th ability of New York to command th gold and th effort of European banks to protect themselves siralnst the demand. Even these high discounts, however, are regarded aa in sufficient to prevent further Importation of gold into this country, in view of the Urge credit which ar being created by tent of wheat and cotton. The high rat In London Is not jrxpected to arrest th shipment of gold to America but is to equalise tha distribution of the yellow metal among European money centers so as to offset losses to America by imports from other places. The fact that th Bank of Franc ha advanced ita rate I a recognition of the severity of th pressure upon the bank' great gold reserve. The action is especially significant because it i the consistent policy of the Bank of France to afford commerce the benefit of it low and uniform rate of discount unless conditions in th international market make it necessary to protect it reserve. The stock market reflected the pressue for money by considerable declines to day, but the declines wer expected by bankers, who looked upon rapid ad vances yesterday as hardly justified by the situation. . The engagement of gold today brings total imKrtations of the present move ment up to $40,429,000. Tba situation regarding the trust companies is grad ually becoming normal. The com ml tie of preld''!it of these companies is sat' lulled that their assets are ample to meet alt demands. WILL CONDEMN SITE, Land on Tanner Creek Hatchery. Will be Flab 8ALKM, Or., Nov, 7.

Mr. Warren, who operate a number of fish wheels and traps upon tba Co lumbia and Tanner Creek in tba Imme- diata vicinity of th proposed site of tba hatchery, base hi protest upon the provisions of the state fishing law, which provide that wheels and fishing contrivances are not allowed to operate within two mile of a fish rack, and say that If th hatchery ia established there it would put him out of business.

WASHINGTON, Nor. 7-A protest was made to President Roosevelt by Senator Heytura of Idaho today against the further deposit of govern ment money with New York banka nn til these institutions consent to pay the reserves of the Western hanks in cash, instead of eaahier'a check. Continuing Senator Heyburn's protest sayet "Tying up of many millions of dol lar of Western money representing re serve of Western banka held by New York hank must inevitably result in empowering New York banks to deter mine tim and conditions of fre re sumption of bankng functions by Western banks, whereas if the reserves of Western bank could be converted into available money at one the finan cial situation of the West would be free from domination ' on tha part of the Bast and the West would become a valu able ally of the East in restoring desir- sble financial conditions rather than re main as at present a fellow sufferer."
