IhUbbDANs AhTUu ON
The general expectations that there would
be q decided stringency In the money market
to-day were not realized. Throughout the day
money lenders were able to obtain the full
legal rate for their funds. and late In tho after
noon belated borrowers with Indifferent col
lateral TO offer were forced to nay from 3 TO
IL n cent. but these figures did not reflect tho
actual state OF the money market. As the loans
on call made to-day carry over until Monday.
the money markets freedom from disturb
nnce was rather surprising. particularly to
the professional board-room traders. who had
evidently shaped their ventures on the belief
that distressing conditions would develop.
The result was a generally firm. hut somewhat
irregular, stock market. The dealings were
again In large volume. though below the aver
ages OF preceding days Of the week, and
speculative interest was more largely conccn-
tratsd In a few stocks. IL was OF some signifi-
canoe perhaps that the more active issues were
firm and that the DAYS net losses were made
upon a comparatively small volume OF bust
ness. Apart from the money market situation
the day was rather featureless. The foreign
exchange market was again firm for the
reasons set forth in this column this morning.
Efforts to excite apprehensions in regard to
the conditions prevailing in the Philippines
and at Samoa mot with little success. and the
frmness of the London stock market testified
20 the lack OF international concern in respect
ofthesc questions.
Four OF the more active issues furnished
over so per cent. of the days dealings. though
the total transactions were In excess OF DOO.-
600 shares. The noted concentration Of spec
u!ative interest Is clearly shown In the fore
going. The stocks in question were Federal
Steel common. Sugar Refining, Manhattan
Railway and Brooklyn Rapid Transit. All Of
thess stocks advanced on the day. the first
three notably. Brooklyn Rapid Transit again
fiuStaated widely. though It fell behind
its record of yesterday In respect both
Of ACTIVITY and Of range Of price. The
advance in Federal Steel was beloved
toebo in anticipation Of the declaration
OF d dividend. and the upward movement dis
closed a short account of considerable proper
tions. The advances in Sugar Refining and In
Manhattan Railway were apparently also stim-
ulatpd by purchases for the short account. and
there was no deflnite news bearing upon either
property. Tho changes In the Granger shares.
the Pacific stocks. New York Central and the
other standard issues were very limited. For
eign houses were fairly large buyers Of stocks
in this market, taking upward of 10000 shares
OF various issues. The market closed active
and with the trading presenting the same gen.
eral characteristics that attended it earlier In
the day.
