THE BANK OF ENGLAND'S SCHEME A FAILURE. London, November 16. The Bank of England's En-gland's attempt to reduce the outside money I supply by borrowing on or selling securities having proved abortive, the bank Was compelled com-pelled on Thursday last to raise its rate of discount to three per cent. The joint stock 1 banks have raised their deposit rates ooly one-half of one per cent, thus partly neutralizing neutral-izing the Bank of England's action. The loanable capital of outside banks is still largely in excess of the present restricted demand. It is doubtful whether the present bank rate will suffice to stop the present persistent gold drain. THE LONDON STOCK MARKET Was buoyant until Saturday, when stocks collapsed, owing to the Servo-Bulgarian war ' news, but closed above the lowest point. : American securities were firm in contrast j with the weakness of European securities. i The impression prevails that the Balkan war will increase the demand for American produce. Turkish, Egyptian, Russian, Austrian, Aus-trian, Hungarian and Greek securities fell considerably. Atlantic Cable shows ad- vances during the week on increased traffic caused by active stock dealing. 1 The officers of the cable companies held ! conferences throughout the week to determine deter-mine what course to pursue regarding the completion of the Commercial cable. It is asserted that the- Commercial Cable Com- , pany persists in refusing to raise the rates. This refusal will probably result in the pool t companies adopting a sixpenny-a-word rate j between Europe and all parts of America. . j At the close Spanish 4s were 57, Egyptian, Egyp-tian, unified, 62; Russian 5s, 94.

The banks and large firms are extensively interested in mining undertakings. The Reich bank shares have fallen, under the impression that the depression will neoessi- , tate heavy bill transactions. ; THE MARKETS IN PARIS. Paris, November 15.
