considerable vigor. The latter part CT

and very general recovery of part OF

sideration Of the money outlook con-
tinued to dominate sentiment on the
stock exchange The banks continued
to call loans for large amounts. the
rate for call money opening at Is and
running up to Is per cent. Large
amounts of stocks held with borrowed
money were thrown upon the mar
ket. After each successive period of
liquidation the market fell into con
dition of semi-stagnation. During the
afternoon the rate for call money drop
ped as low as 8 per cent and the de-
mand for stocks developed which
caused the recuperation in prices to.
the closing level. The usual prelimin-
airy estimates of the weeks cash move
ments showed a rather smaller ship
ment to the interior than has been
estimated, though the loss to the SUBJ
treasury OF 100000 was up to antici-
pations. The weeks net loss in cash
Is figured at over $4,000 900 from all
causes. The easing demand On rate
late in the day served to ameliorate the
dread that to-morrow's bank statement
would show an increase in the deficit
The loan contraction during the week
has been large. There was a rumor
on the floor of the exchange that the
banks resources had been increased
by means of cash deposits by institu-
tons in New York City with a view to
relieve the situation. This rumor
could not be traced to any authentic
source, but affected sentiment on the
stock exchange and inclined specula-
tive opinion to look for another sur
prise in to-morrw's bank statement.
The stiff money market resulted in a
further drop in sterling exchange rates
which was assisted also by buying of
stocks here for London account esti-
mated as high as 10000 shares. New
York exchange at Chicago rose again
to par but at New Orleans the ex-
change continued to run against New
York. Prices Of bends moved in SYM
pathy with stocks early in the day, but
falled to respond to the late recovery.
Iotal sales par value $3.50 900.
