London , Nov. T. The anticipated
railroad strike throughout Great Brit

the board of trade , and signed by the
chairmen of the principal railroad
companies and the representatives of
the Amalgamated' Society of Railway
Servants.
The agreement provides for the
consideration of further matters In
dispute , primarily by a sectional board
of conciliation , representing the vari
ous grades of employes and the Indi
vidual railroads. In case of disagree
ment settlement will be reached by
the board of conciliation , and an equal
number of men representing the full
membership of the society. If tha
board and these representatives fall

must be settled by arbitration.

ployes. The board will In every case
be composed of elected employe * of
the companies concerned , as well as
officials of the various railroads.

ing Effect In Europe.

land today raised the rate of discount
ono per cent , making the rate now
seven percent. This Is the highest
point since 1S73. This rise , however ,
did not prevent additional engage
ments from America.
The bank of France also raised its
rate a half percent , to five.
The Immense exports of gold from
Europa are beginning to have their
effect upon European finances , partic
ularly England and Germany.
France is acting magnanimous In di
viding her gold and no extraordinary
condition is feared.
All stocks declined today.
America Being Relieved.
New York , Nov. 7. Financial cir
cles are being relieved considerably by
the receipts of gold from London but
the requirements of the country are
growing.

place currency.
Help Trust Companies.
Now York , Nov. 7. The general
conditions of the financial situation
are favorable. The runs on the trust
companies have practically ceased un
der the encouraging influence of the
support of the trust company commit
tee ; gold engagements were further
increased' and the stock market rose
buoyantly in recognition of the con
ditions.
The announcement by Mr. Klnc ,
president of the Union Trust com
pany , that an agreement had at last
been reached by which the Trust
Company of America and the Lincoln
Trust company were to deposit their
stock in the hands of a committee
of trust company presidents and in
consideration of this , were to receive
all the support required , finally
cleared the air in regard to the trust
company situation.
Now that this danger Is removed , It
is believed that the situation will grad
ually simmer down , witU , the continu
ous arrival of gold , until the string
ency Is changed' into a plethora of re
serve money in banks , which usually
follows a crisis.
Additional gold engagements wore
announced of $1,500,000. This brings
up the total gold engagement for
America on the recent movement to
137,600,000. which would afford tna
amount required for legal reserve
against deposits of $150,000,000.
The gold which arrived was depos
ited and that brought by the Lusltanla
will soon be in the vaults of the banks.

of the grain crops of the northwest ,
said that ho had little to add to that
statement.
"The result Is what is more Import
ant , not only to the people of the
northwest , but to the coast as well , "
he said. "The people of the north
west can rest assured that the com
blnod efforts of the financial men here
will set the ball In motion that will
provide genuine relief that no other
measure would. It is not necessary
to go Into details. Results are what
we want. A large fund hai been
raised for that purpose and It Is hoped
that by putting this movement under
way It will result In a stream of money
from Europe In payment for the ship
ments. "
"Provision for the shipments from
the terminals , " Mr. Bailey explained
"will promote the shipment of grain
from the local warehouses and' In this
way the entire crop will be moved and
laid down in eastern markets. This
will make the northwestern states
creditors , and as the flow of gold from
Europe already In motion continues
a large share of It will find Its way
Into the banks In this section of the
country and any remaining stringency
will be removed. "
