Wall Street Brokers Still View the Out
 lock With Some Uneasiness-The Stock
 Market Tending Downward-No Further
 Disclosures in the Condition of the
 North River Bank-The Feeling Abroad.
 PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 15.-The money market is closer here than it has been for many years. For several days the market has been hardening and the climax was reached when loans were made at one- eighth of one per cent. for 10 day loans. necessary accommodation at some rate or other, and no failures esulted.
 The banks reported the rate of interest nominally 6 per cent, but the rate was so purely nominal that no one was able to borrow money at that figure. The trust companies were also borrowed dry, and one institution refused to ad- vance anything, even with first mort gage bonds of the Lehigh Valley Railroad as collateral.
 New York has been drawing money from Philadelphia all the week. During ordinary seasons New York brokers are content to accept five per cent. margin on orders to buy stocks, but they now demand ten. New York drafts have been coming in all the week on core spondents and clients for the additional five per cent. margin. One house has remitted to New York from $50, ,0O0 to $f00, ,000 every day this week.
 A swarm of investors, attracted by the low prices of stocks, have sent over funds to buy with. All these drafts aggregate very large sum, and Phila. delphia banks and financial institutions are now drained dry.
 Uneasy Feeling in Wall Street.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Wall street bro. kers still view the outlook with some un. easiness as many conflicting rumors pre-. vail and the drift of the market is still tending in a downward direction.
 The depression is intensified by attacks, which prove subsequently to be. unwar- ranted, against the credit of prominent banking firms and institutionsr The cable and telegraph are freely used to contradict these alarming statements, but the feverishness has become infect. ious, and fresh liquidation is thereby de- yeloped.
 The story from London that Barring Brothers were in trouble had the run ot the street. Their agents here say the firm is all right.
 The situation at the North River Bank remains unchanged. The directors are maturing plans to reopen it. An appli. cation for the appointment of a receiver was put over by consent until Monday. There was no further disclosures of the condition of the North American Com.
