Influences Which Had an UnfavOr
able Effect ON the Market.

Special Dispatch to the Evening Star.
WALL STREET. NEW YORK, Aug. o.
Todays market was not satisfactory as
the two preceding days. owing to rumors
of a probable advance in the rate for call
money, which were circulated late yester-
day. Savings banks, it is said. are no
longer willing to lend their money under
the legal rate. when by taking advantage
Of the prevailing stringency they may add
an extra per cent to their interest ac-
count Loans were made today at and Z
per cent. Time money is still to be found
only In out of the way places, and the col
lateral required must be the best obtain
able. The securities being satisfactory. a
commission and interest charges are added,
so as 10 bring the rate up to about 10 per
plete but not profitable. Another disturb
ing element was the character of yester-
days speeches in the Senate, which indi-
Gated numerous obstacles yet to be over
come before the desired legislation can be
obtained. A reaction was due. however,
after the squirt IN prices at the beginning
OF the week, and there is no material
changes in the general situa ton to warrant

narrow and is consequently easily manipu-
lated so as to secure small profits both
ways.

and back and probably fatally wounded.
and another sailor was struck on the head
with a hammer. ana will not recover from
the effects of the blow for months. These
outrages greatly embittered the feeling he

The feeling is very bitter, and serious
trouble Is anticipated.
