NEW YORK, Sept. Pa In Wall street
the day opened with an unsettled feeling in
consequence Of the suspension of HAYES &
Macy, bankers, and Browne Watson, gold
brokers, but there was very little excite
ment. Later an improved feeling prevailed.
When the Clearing House meeting adjourn
ed, money was about 1 per cent per diem.
Foreign exchange was dull and nominal;
prime bankers rates were marked down to
1O7 for so days, and 107s for short sight;
good bills could be bought for much less.
Commercial bills gold at 103. Gold has
been active, fuctuating during the day be-
tween 1l1s and 112ff, and closed at 111s;
the carrying rates have been and Z per
cent and fat for borrowing; the ciearings
were $23, 600, 900; the Assistant Treasurer
discussed 1921, 900.
The offering of United States bonds to the
treasury have been slow and tagging only
$2,611 $50 having been received. In the
street strong demand for all classes Of
United States bonds for cash has been
noted, though Of course the offerings were
slight. The quotations we're: United States

Clearing House COMMITTEES issued s., 5O0,-
600 IN loan certificates to-day making
total so far since Monday of $500, 900.
The assurances given by leading dry goods
houses and those Interested Ia other
branches of commerce that no trouble exists
in these departments despite the various
reports, hsve done much in alleviating the
condition Of Wall street and in a measure
accounts for the quiet state Of affairs. The
exports of produce for the week ending yes-
terday amounted to So sol 1913 in currency
values, being an inereass over last week OF
$114,930. The exports for the correspond
ing period last year were $5,2S3, l2S and
81, 22S, 1854 10 1867. The total exports sisce
Jan. / this year are sos, 673, 2ST against
$161, 7S6, $50 last year and S166, 05Q955 in
1871.
The cable dispsteh announcing the sus-
pension of Clews, Habricht & Co. had no
effect on the street. The feeling continues
strongly in favor of keeping the Stock Ex-
chIDge closed. In fact this measure is ab-
solutely necessary to save fresh excitement.
There was the usual crowd in Broad street
to-day and irregular dealings in stocks con-
tinued. 1t is utterly impossible TO give an
approximate idea of the course Of prices as
the dealings were In no small degrees fcti.
tious. Stocks were offered of all sorts at
all sorts of prices and bid for in the same
manner simply for effect. At the close the
following prices werez current: New York
City and Hudson bid SO, asked SO, Harlem
104; Erie As; Lake Shore bid Is, asked 10;
Wabash bid 40, asked 43; North Western
bid 80, asked 80; Rock Island bio S6aa, ask
ed 81; Ohio and Mississippi bid %, asked
%; Union Pacific bid Is, asked 10; G. G.
and l. G. 20; Hannibal and ST. 10 bid 10,
asked 81; Western Union telegraph bid So,
asked so; Pacific Mall bid Is, asked 20.
The day closed with signs of encourage.
ment. The mail says everything is at stand
still in Wall street, including the panic it
self, and it is hoped the tide viii soon set 10
the direction of higher prices and better
feeling generally.
