The rates for call money continued hish
yesterday, around per cent for the great
er part OF the day. This fact with the
death of Cornelius Vanderbilt, caused
much uneasiness and heavy selling o!
stocks after an opening in most cases off
from the close on Monday. Hundreds of
shares of stocks were sold TO take profits
or on stop loss orders, and there was much
readjustment of accounts. The result o.
the days business is worth considering
In the first place, despite the selling dur
ing the greater part of the day, the level
at the close was very little lower than
the opening on the average. Many sto ks
succeeded even in making net gains for
the day, closing higher than they did on
Monday. The low price was reached in
most cases around 2 O'Clock. after which
tion TO buy stocks. Many argued
from this that the end of the
decline has come. at least tenn
porarily, and that there will be a rally
today, and perhaps during the remainder
of the week. Some facts in the situation
favor this idea. The people who sold
stocks yesterday were in general the shorts
and the weaker holders Those who
bought were the leaders of the market
1t is to be supposed that this means the
cancellation of a large amount of loan
and that the result will be favorable to
the condition of the banks. The important
people who bought stocks do not borrow
money on cali at s and per cent but on
time, at 2 and per cent, usually 1t was
said also that the banks gained half
million dollars yesterday from sub-treas-
ury operations. The help that Secretary
Gage may give to the banks will probably
be in the shape Of an early payment of
interest on the per cent bonds which is
due on October l. The amount of this
payment VIII be about s5.000000, and ii
is believed that If Mr.. Gage decides to ex-
tend his aid this interest could be paid by
September 20 The checks are now being
drawn for the payment.

The international Paper Company yester-
day declared the regular dividend on the
preferred stock and failed TO declare any
on the common, as had been foreshadowed
in this column. The stock was weak, but
there was good buying around the low

in good advance in the near future The
company is in excellent financial condition
and earning an immense amount of money

Colorado Fuel and Iron, which has fol-
lowed the fortunes of T. c.. l. somewhat
closely, was also fairly strong yesterday.
1t did not tumble OFF at the opening in the
way that the other stock did, but sagged
several points during the worst part of
the day, regaining nearly ali its loss be-
fore the close. A statement to the stock
holders of the company made by President
Osgood and published yesterday is most
interesting. He says, in brief, that the
S12,000,00O new stock soon to be issued by
the company is to be used in increasing
and undermining the plant 10 a capacity
of more than 500, 900 tons annually. Mr..
Osgood states that with this increased
capacity the company will still not be
able to produce more than one third the
amount of iron used in the territory in
which his company has distinct advan-
tages as to freight charges The new stock
has been bid for and will probably be
given TO banking interests that have been
identified with the Tennessee Coal and
Iron boom. The price to be paid for it by
them is considerably above the market
price, it is stated, and this makes it seem
most probable that they will sell it even
higher.

Tennessee Coal and Iron was pyrotech-
mic in its movements, but on the whole
made a very creditable showing for a
stock that has been doomed as it has dur
ing the past two weeks. 1t opened off
nine points on the first quotation of the
day at 112, the explanation given by the
street being that an accumulation OF sell
ing orders had come in over night. The
stock advanced to 118 IA during the first
hour and then went back to around the
opening price. Later in the day it ad
yanced to 116, the closing price. The

stock, but rather 70 nave bought from out
siders whose margins were wiped out by
the tumble. AS has been pointed out in
this column recently, the stock is selling
at such high price that it is dangerous
for outsiders to handle it. even although it
is known that the company is earning
more money and worth much more than
ever before.

the Scio field that big flow OF salt
water indicated a small quantity Of the
marketable duid. This was the result
OF wells drilled to the north. northwest
and south west. To the northwest. the
