South African gold mines might be looked
to to help defray the expenses of the
apparently not relished by the spectators IN
the mine market London sales in this market
were upward Of 80 600 shares. The general
weakness Of copper mine shares had de-
pressing influence on speculation. The weak
ness of Anaconda on the exchange was supple
mented by a break in Amalgamated Copper IN
the outside market and by weakness in Bos-
ton. The hardening tendency of money was
dlscouraglng factor for the bulls. Most Of the
days call loans were made above per cent
and the rate rose to per cent in the day.
Bankers generally asked per cent for time
loans and were disinclined to put out their
funds for the longer periods. Rather less

NEW YORK. Oct 24.-The stock market was
distinctly reactionary to-day in spite of some
strong spots. Profit taking was on a very large

became obvious some OF the room traders
turned bears and sold the market moderately
The bear faction was not aggressive, however
