Stocks-The furry in call money IN
the last half hour to-day induced
selling movement which carried prices
in the majority of the list below last
might. Stocks which had advanced
strongly suffered from profit taking and
their gains were much reduced where
they were not entirely wiped out. The
market was spotty and irregular
throughout and the maintenance of the
price level was due rather to a cessa-
ton of yesterdays factors of weakness
than to any elements of positive
strength. London, which was heavy
seller yesterday, VISA inclined to buy
to-day on the new account succeeding
the settlement. The large profit TAX
ing in Baltimore e Ohio stocks was so
far digested that those stocks resumed
their advance. United States Leather
by comparison with recent perform
ances, displayed a stable equilibrium
and the increase in the dividend rate on
the preferred stock did not move it
over a fraction. Yesterdays agrees
sion upon Sugar was also discontinued
and the stock was strong for the greater
part of the day. When these condi-
lions were developed an attempt was
made to inaugurate bull campaign in
the iron and steel stocks, but it proved
abortive. The movement in the Balti-
more & Ohio stocks, Pennsylvania and
New York Central was the most con-
spicuous movement of the day and did
more than anything else to sustain in
prices. Chesapeake G. Ohio also rose
above its previous high level. There
were notable advances in a number of
obscure stocks, including Peoria. De-
catur & Evansville, Duluth, South Shore
d Atlantic, the Buffalo, Rochester &
Pittsburg stocks and some of the minor
andustrials. Manhattan lost all its gain
before the close Enthusiasm over
Saturdays strong bank statement was
much diminished by the discovery that
the whole strength Of the showing was
due to the operations of one bank. The
renewal of apprehension over the mon
ey outlook was emphasized by several
developments. There were renewed
shipments of currency to New Orleans
through deposits for transfer at the
sub-treasury and New York exchange
at Chicago weakened suddenly to zoe
discount compared with par yesterday.
The operations of the sub-treasury yes
terday with the banks resulted in
gain by that institution of 1920, 900, in.
spite OF the government bond redemp-
tions. Yesterdays receipts of revenue
by the United States treasury exceeded
expenditures by $2,154,097, more than
offsetting the total of bond redemp-
tlons for the day. The further rise in
the London money rate and the pros
pect OF an advance in the bank of Eng
land rate on Thursday aroused appre-
hension that London would want mon
ey from New York, which is likely to
displace loans by Canadian banks which
have been placed here in large VOL
umes. When these various symptoms
of the money condition eliminated in
the furry in the call loan rate of 10 per
cent, prices turned downward through
out the list and the tone at the closing
was easy.
The bond market moved in sympathy
with stocks, early firmness yielding in
the late dealings. Total sales par value
