The Hank of France also reflected a gain of about a million dollars in gold for the week and a large contraction of note issues and repayments of loans. Export demand for grain meanwhile continues large In spite ula rise In prices of wheat, and affords a Rood supply of exchange bills. The price i>f American eagles also fell a fraction in the London market t'>-day. Some special weakness was Fhown by the New York public utilities owing to the agitation of the franchise tax question and the difference of opinion disclosed as to the application of the adverFe judicial decision to the law as a whole.

The late recovery in prices was largely con nected with the anticipation of a dividend in trease on Northern Securities, the directors of which went into session early In the after noon. Active buying and a sharp advance in Northern Securities on the curb and a three p^int rise In Great Northern in the board room wa« taken as rorrcboratlve evidence. The threr-point advance in St. Louis and San Fran cisco, though unexplained by news, was a sus taining Influence on the market.
