an commission resumed it's session to-
day and probably will meet very
frequently from now until it COM
pletes it's work. Andrew d. White

appointment over the fact that DR..

been at work at The Hague, securing
original translations of manuscripts

versy, had not arrived, but the COM
mission proceeded to consider other
details pending their arrival. DIR. Baar
and Prof. De HAN sailed from Liver

New York this morning, and they will
probably reach here not later than to-
morrow. In accordance with policy.
heretofore pursued by members of the
commission they declined to-day to in
dictate whether they were confronted
with any difficulties which might pre-
vent harmonious agreement in their
report. Some time ago, however, JUS
tice Brewer intimated that the report
would be ready for submission by Dec.
l, at the latest, and this would seem
to indicate that the members of the
commission who have been kept ad-
vised during the summer and fall of
all developments, will reach a speedy
conclusion once all the documents are
officially laid before them.

FLunRr IN MONEY.
High Rates For Cali Leans N the
New York Market

High Rates For Call Leans IN the
New York Market.
New York, Oct. 81. = A somewhat
apathetic speculation In stocks to-day
was enlivened by extreme stringency
In rates for call money. The first loan
was made at 10 per cent, and the rate
advanced to 10 per cent, and finally
about 1880 p. m. a broker who wanted
money was compelled to bid up to so
per cent before he could secure the re-
Quired accommodation. The price
then fluctuated between 40 and so per
cent, and finally went to 100. It
closed at 80.
Business was only moderate, as Of
ferings of funds were extremely light.
The immediate cause Of the stringency
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, according to tho
custom Of the street, although the
banks legally have the right to call
money on any day of the week. The
banks. as rule, are reserving their
surplus funds for the accommodation of
their regular customers, who are being
supplied at per cent In proportion to
the business done by them. In some
instances, however, banks have called
loans for the express purpose Of max,
Ing turn in money on the street.
The stringency was not specially due
to the shipment of funds to the
Interior, as the volume of this bust
ness has not exceeded the average Of
last week. Bankers report sharp in
quiries for funds by their clients, and
sympathetic hardening influences upon
the money market was cxerted by re-
port of an increase in the demand for
cash gold. Bullion brokers' advanced
the commission premium of the gold
3-l6 per cent to 1-4a3-8 per cent. Pre-
dictions are current in the street Of
materially higher figures in money to-
morrow, but some leading bankers ex-
press the opinion that the worst of the
furry has been seen.
