Since the recent English elections in late October, upward of $1,000,000,000 was estimated to have passed from New York to London, some of this representing American money which, with the politjcal and commercial situation looking better, had been placed at work in London.

Only part of this sum, which is the largest amount that London has drawn from the American gold supply since 1919 for any one month, was pelieved to be headed for deposit in London.
