EIGHTY PER CENT ron CALL LOANS.
High Uids for Money Incident to the
Election Excitement


NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The approach OF
the election was signali2ed in financial cir
Giles here today by n rapid and remarkable
advance in the money market. Soon after
the opening of the exchange for business
today there was great demand for call
money, which opened at 10 per cent, 1 per
cent higher than the average rate yester-
day, when 1t nuctuated between I and II
per cent. By leaps and bounds the rate
advanced until at noon so per cent was
demanded for cash loans. The demand sent
the rates up until late In the day. when
100 per cent was asked and so bid. This
was the closing quotations. The jump to
100 per cent began gradually and proceeded
amid much excitement. The first loan was
made at 10 per cent and the rate then ad
vancod to 10 and finally, about 2:30 p. m.
a broker who wanted money, was compelled
to bid the rate up to so per cent before
he could secure the required accommodation
The price then fluctuated between 40 and
80 per cent. Business was only moderate,
as offerings OF funds were extremely light
As the demand for money increased the price
asked increased by tens from 80 to 60, then
to 20, until the maximum was reached.
The immediate cause of the strngency
was the calling of loans by some of the
banks that wished to prepare themselves for
possible large demands tomorrow Loans
made on Friday 20 over until Monday ac-
the banks legally have the right to call
money on any day Of the week. The banks
as a rule, are reserving their surplus funds
for the accommodation Of their regular Gus
toners who are being supplied at per cent
in proportion to the business done by them.
The strngency was not especially due to
shipments of funds to the interior, as the
volume of this business has not exceeded
the average OF last week Bankers report
sharp inquiry for funds for their regular
clients and a sympathetic hardening in
fluence on the money market was eXerted
by a report of an increase in demands for
cash gold, Bullion brokers advanced the
commission premium on gold 3-l6 per cent
to h@9s per cent
Predictions are current In the street OF
materially higher figures in money tomor-
row, hut some leading bankers express the
opinion that the worst Of the furry has been
seen. Money has not been so high since
the Barring panic some years ago, when 1t
went skyward in the same way.

another wing Of the party in the Charleston

LONDON. Oct 2g-(New York World Ca
blegram-special Telegram Everything
points to an improved market for wheat
until a succession OF bounteous harvests
drives prices down again." said the editor
of the Mark Lane Express, the oldest es-
tablshed, most influential organ OF the
British farmer at his Office in the Strand
today, to the World representative. "Ihe
considerations respecting the Argentine
East Indian and Australian crops are chiefly
conjectural. My judgment is formed apart
from them
The rise In the price of wheat Is legiti-
mate. the result OF natural causes. II mas
been anticipated by all concerned In the
market for some time, but 1t came earlier
and the jump has been greater than was
expected. The suddenness of the rise was
due to speculation in options. The reac-
tiOn now taking place proves that the au-
vance was premature This week the mar
kets have dropped and / should not be
surprised II this continued for a week or
two. But prices Will go up again and IL

vising the British farmer for some time
to hold wheat. Those who are able to do
30, did hold or, but the farmers here, in
tho MAN, are in no better plight than the
farmers in America and most Of them have
been compelled to sell to pay rents.
Tho advance in prices is fully warranted
by tho situation. In its origin, it was not
speculative, although spectators rushed in
and drove it beyond what was reasonable
for the moment. The world had no large
supply of wheat to dispose of and England
had dangerously depleted granaries. After
the first rush prices are steadying now,
and a good level will be maintained through
the winter.
THE Argentine prospects, according to my
latest adviCes, are good, unless late October
frosts spoil the crop. The failure OF the
Argentine crop, OF course, would appre-
Gladly affect the market.
Il am no believer in any heavy Import of
wheat into India, but 1t is now practically
certain that the Indian supplies cannot be
counted upon. and some wheat and maize
must be imported to make up for the fail
ure Of both the rice and wheat crops.
bad weather here has greatly delayed
the sowing of spring wheat This is true,
not only in England but of the continent.
Unless the weather picks up, November
sowing may be jeopardized. Although we
can SOW in the spring, II is not as good as
doing IL in October or November. This
may affect the European crops next year,
