New York Oct. 29.-The feature of the
day in speculation was an advance in call
loans on the stock exchange to 100 per cent
The advance was attributed to the prepa-
rations making for the payment of in
terest and dividends due November first
the shifting of loans incidental to this
process, and some boarding by the more
timid. The stringency of the loans mar
ket compelled brokers to call for addi-
tional margins. In number of instances,
holders were iudisposed or unable to re-
spond, and their stock was thrown on the
market. Considering the exorbitant rates
demanded for call loans, the foreign SELL
ing and the evening up of account by OPP
orators who desire to go over the election
without contracts on their books, the loss
in prices, except in rare instances, was
unimportant. The disturbance in the
money market it might be added, affected
only belated borrowers and caused little,
If any excitement, in stock circles. The
loss in prices at one time ranged from u
to 3 per cent. The principal declines are
