Stocks-The evidences of strength in
yesterdays stock market attracted
quite large buying interest this morn
ing and the market during the first
hour took the upward course with very
active trading. The demand showed,
however, marked falling off during
the rest of the day and the isolated
points of strength which developed
from time to time proved unavailing
to sustain prices and the drift was
downwards until the close, which was
very generally at the low point of the
day and at level below last night
The market during the first hour was
conspicuous for the great breadth of
the demand, the number of stocks
which moved being no less than 125.
The aggregate number of shares dealt
in was also very large. Broadly
speaking the market was a reversal of
that in railroads which were generally
inclined to act while the industrial
stocks moved upwards. The evidences
of profit taking in the coalers, which
were manifest even in the opening
dealings, prompted selling to realize in
the railroad list The outside demand
for stocks was very much increased
and it was this which was fed by the
professional operators who have been
accommodating stocks at the lower level.
At the same time the vigorous strength
of Sugar, Tobacco, Brooklyn Transit,
Rubber and other industrials, and the
continued speculation in the Leather
stocks, helped to sustain the list while
the realizing was going on. These
from 1 to over 4 points in the late
downward movement. Inside support
was manifest in some of the newer in
dustrials, which have been the target
recently for bear attack. This was
| notably true of the Mailing and Glu-
| cose stocks, Mailing preferred leading
with rise of nearly points. OF the
low priced stocks, Standard Rope and
Irvine was brought forward with an
advance of ~, half of which was SUBJ
sequently lost. The iron and steel
stocks also received favorable attention
especially for steel, but gains in them
were no better held than elsewhere.
There were othr individual stocks
which were strong at different times,
including Atchison preferred on its
| September statement of net earnings,
Southern Railway preferred and Ches-
apeake & Ohio. London was a buyer
here, though on smaller scale than
yesterday, and sterling exchange yield
ed fraction in consequence. Appre-
hension of an unfavorable showing by
banks on Saturday was an influence in
the growing heaviness of stocks. New
York exchange shows some recovery
at few important interior points, bug
continues downward at others, and the
outward movement of money has not
yet ceased. The banks net loss to the
-treasurey thus far foots up over
S1,30000o for the week. The rate for
call loans dropped suddenly near the
close to per cent, but only after the
bulk of the days demand had been met
at 61s@7 per cent. Lenders of money
on time hold out for per cent and
exact choice collateral. The fact is
that some of the large interests oper.
ating in the market have been lenders
OF money and are calling their loans
for their own operations in stocks.
The dealings in bonds disclosed the
same breadth Of demand as those in
stocks, many dormant issues being
brought into the trading. Standard
