ONLY HALF A MILLION DOLLARS The stock Market Affroted by tba Hews —Probably Sant to Swell tbe Odd Cnrreneyof Austria by the '* Way of London. New York, Oot. 15.—The flrst ship ment of gold 1 from New York to Europe Irv October for many years (will bo made on the steamship Havel, Which sails for Southampton tomorrow. The Bank of 'New York withdrew from the sub-treasury 9500,1)00 Just tbdforc the close of business, paying for It in greenbacks. The withdrawal Is for tbe account of Kidder, Peabody & Co. of London and Is consigned to Berlin. The ultimate destination la supposed to be Austria. The engagement of this gold caused •weakness in the stock market, as it ia an extraordinary occurrence for gold to be shipped to Europe at this season of the year, when the export* of ce reals and cdtton shoud throw the bal ance of ttrado strongly In favor of tbe United Suites. For over a decade, ex cept during the financial stringency existing In 1802 and 1893, -gold has been imported In large quantities from Eu rope during the -moiWhs of September, October and December. The Impossi bility of lending foreign balances to New York on (recount of the 1 percent, money market and the active demand for money in Germany und Austria, the smaller exports of cotton and whealt combined with their lower price, the lowest today tn the history of the United Stul'.cs, and 'the larger Imports, stimulated by the reduced tariffs, tire menltttoned os among the causes which caused foreign exchanges to advance to a gold exporting rate. ■Germany and Belgium have nleo re cently placed some largo loans In the Loudon market, which ha* forced sterling on the continent to an unu sually low rtrio, permitting the trian gular operation of exchange which permits gold exports. The profit on the shlpmento f gold, however, la so slight that It Is believed that gold would not have gone forward If Inducements had ndt been offered by Austria, which has mlt yet acquired sufficient gold to pu: Its recently established gold currency on a solid foundation. This suspicion ■has a most distressing effect on stocks and other markets, as it was recol lected that Audtria iln 1892 and 1893 drew tens of 'millions of gold from the United States toy toe .payment Of a liberal premium to the gold shipping houses fn Now York, and the low bal ance of the Unllted States .treauury In spired the fear that another govern ment bon'd Issue would bo forced oy the Influx of gold to Europe at this time.
