Rank of England Make a Large Loan to Settle Cash Credit For th Quar. ter The Outlook favorable. NEW YORK, April J. The Times Lon don financial correspondent cable: We have passed a atraJt. and In a mone tary sen are In a broad river again. But It U 1 river betraying symptoms of a coming drought. Dropping the simile, our money market has this week had to borrow upward of 7,000,000 pounds from the Bank of England to help It through the stock exchange settlement and end the quarter demands for cash and credit. Added to previous borrowing, this puts the market over 10,000,000 pounds In debt to th bank. One year ago tn debt of the market to the bank was less than half this sum. Perhaps the f,iot that Eastvr and tho end of the quarter came together increased tho demand for as sistance, and some of tho holiday cash will doubtless come back. This, how ever, Is scarcely worth weighing against the Increased poverty which plves It a permanent trend toward dearness. You may take It as certain that the market will not be able to repay all this money during the present quarter. For a few days at a time ft may get free, but such recurring stock exchange set tlement will see the market forced to loan on the bank, and ns the months pass, the dependence will Increase. Unless gold flows In from abroad, as there Is no sign of its doing, we must ex. pect tho money market to be subject to spasms and tightness all the summer. Do not, then, allow the present lowness of discount rates to deceive you. If the bank cannot allow Ita rate to fall be low three per cent, and tt assuredly cannot In the present circumstances, the open market Is playing for a bad fall by driving It rate down to 1 per cent or a llttl mor. Abort credH may be plentiful for th next few day, but the supply will soon run short and I will not b lurprls'td to e money aa tight tvtr on fn next stock pay 6ny.

He continued: "As to what we propose to effect by the purchase or consolidation with the Southern Padlflc company of line in Cal ifornia that are leased to the parent or ganitatton. I have to say that It Is a mawer we hav not yet fully decided upon." He stated that the sal of Mr. Stan, ford's Central Pacific stock would make no defference in the management of the road. Work on the coast line, extension would be pushed, he stated. Being asked If he favored a compromise with the state railroad commission, he said: "That Is a matter largely with our legal department, though as for myself. I elKill oppose any compromise which gives the right to any tribuna l:o re. duce the rate of fares so long as they are not above what will give a fair return for the money Invested in creating these properties."
