BONDS
THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

The stock market was strong yesterday on
small but well distributed volume OF business
Traders were disposed 70 operate for an ad-
vance. because the long side of speculation APP
peared 70 be ii only profitable side And this
view represented the majority opinion IN Wall
Street The only bear card. namely. money
market stringency. was still further weakened
Yesterday by q decided decline IN rates and by
the Willingness Of substantial market operator
70 buy stocks on the conviction that the money
market could no longer be used as an effective
argument for lower prices. II to-day's bank
statement makes a favorable showing there
ought TO he a considerable rally in prices next
week n the statement IS a poor one The show
ing in all probability win mark the end Of the
season of bad bank statements. Wall Street
opinion IS divided respecting the probable eX-
kibIt Of bank holdings. but the Street appears
20 be unanimous IN the belief that the money
market will improve throughout the rest of the
season.
per cent rate for call money IS not ex
pected Nor is IL wanted, except by petty specu-
Iators An average rate OF 9 per cent is looked
for in the rest Of the season. and at a per cent
rate stock market traders will receive all the
accommodation TO which they entitled. Bull
markets have been conducted a per cent
money market 1t Is only a matter Of getting
the weak holdings ont of the market and then
becoming accustomed to something higher than
the and per cent rates that ruled for 50
long a time in the past. High money rates have
been due TO legitimate conditions, although in
some cases the excessive rates Of the last ten
DAVIS have represented manipulation. But the
weak spectators have been shaken ont and
ynanipulation of money rates is no longer e.
fective The weak holders are out and the
strong holders are In while new holders are
buying stocks on q 6 per cent money basis The
greater number Of commission houses now
charge customers 6 per cent for advances. and
in many cases the commission house makes a
neat profit owing the fact that it secured
large sums earlier in the year on time loans At
cheaper rates than those now current.
The market was strong the greater part Of
the day, with good demand for many Of the
attractive issues selling under par. Investment
and speculative buying was moderately heavy
In the bond market: in fact. this buying was
heavier than In several weeks. Union Pacific
Is were active: also Wabash debenture Rs, At
Gibson issues and Mexican Central incomes. The
steady absorption OF the Mexican railroad Sc
curities is a factor worth noting. a year ago
the stocks were never dealt in. and scarcely
known. II looks as II the Mexican issues would
sell much higher. because earnings show such
handsome gains and because strong interests
are behind the securities. In the last hour the
advance IN sterling exchange caused reactions
throughout the list. and the market closed I'M
settled.

A RIOT
Narrowly Averted in the Prison
at Santiago, Yesterday, When
"Stripes' Were Introduced.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, November 5.
There was almost a riot in the San
tiago prison yesterday when the order
was enforced respecting the use of the
conventional uniform of stripes, clip
ped hair and clean shaven faces. The
prisoners fatty refused to comply. and
the prison officials were compelled 10
use force. In several Instances prls-
oners were bound during the shearing
operations. All consider the new regu-
lation imposed the lowest degradation.
1t turns out that the wrecks Of the
warships of Admiral Cervera's squadron
which remain here are better than
gold mines for the wreckers. A party
of the latter has just begun to explore
the wreck of the torpedo boat Destroy

Last Tuesday some wreekers at

in which one man was killed and sew
eral wounded.
