manifest all day. The fear of interrupted
traffic in the south from yellow fever also
depressed the price of railroads in that re-
gion. The steady tone manifested in the
exchange market early in the day had the
effect of discouraging hope of the early
Importation Of gold and this had the infiu-
ence in aiding the reaction. These had tho
greater effect because of the hardening of
the money market, asking rates for call
loans being as high as 21a per cent. The
marked weakening in the exchange market
in the last hour served to steady prices of
stocks to some extent, the decline not only
being checked but recoveries being shown
in the closing transactions of the stock.
The rate of exchange on Paris was also
weak. and it seems evident from the action
Of the Bank of England in maintaining it's
minimum discount rate of 2 per cent in
face OF the continued decrease in it's reseve
and its stock of bullion that London ex-
poets Paris to supply the first demands of
this country for gold. But the Paris ex-
change on London recorded fall today
which would naturally tend to weaken the
force of the New York exchange demand
on Paris.
Northern Pacific issues were at one time
In special demand and showed marked ad-
vances.
Transaction in the bond market were on
considerably diminished scale and prices
were somewhat easier. Total sales, were
about $1,000, 600.
The price of United States new As was
quarter lower and new As coupon sold at
i25A and do. registered at 124A.
