NEW YORK, March Interpretations
of a more active and higher money were
verified call loans having touched II
per cent this week. while much of the
borrowing of money at the stock eX-
change has been at sos points per cent.
These tendencies, however. have been no
obstacle to the development of a strong
ly bullish speculation in stocks, with adj
Nances in different parts of the list car
rying prices In some instances to the
highest levels yet reached. The leaders
In this movement were the Vanderbilt
stocks. together with certain specialties
and industrials, though other portions of
the market were more or less favorably
affected. Signs of active manipulation
by large interests were abundant, but
the fact that the market had taken an
upward course, and that leaders of Wall
st1ee were quoted as saying that fears
about the tight money were needless,
had decided effect on the speculative
public Commission houses were large
buyers, and the daily volume of trans
actions, swollen, as it was, by the in
creased public participation, was con-
siderably over 100000 shares on Mon
day and the two succeeding days. This
evidently involved the transfer of large
/ holdings of stocks into the hands of
marginal SPECTATORS, and prepared the
market for a reaction. Money naturally
became harder as the end of the month
drew near, and the fact that the stock
exchanges were to be closed today Gre
ated a disposition to wait.
On Tuesday money rose to u per cent,
while the news of the troubles at Samoa
caused some temporary fear of interna-
tional compiled lions. The result was
decline, which, In some stocks, almost
took the form of breaks though before
the day ended the leading manipulated
stocks were rallied sharply. and the
close was generally steady at recovery.
London has shown a disposition to pur-
chase the Vanderbilt stocks and other
specialties, but has not been a prominent
factor in the speculation here Our mar
ket has disregarded the decided advance

tons for the remittance of the 500, coo, GOO

AS for the money market, the preva-
lent impression in Wall street has been
that firmer interest sales are temporary,
and next week will be marked by the
return to New York of the funds which,
on the completion of the April disburse-
ments will no longer be required there
Among the incidents which contributed
to Increase the bullish feeling was the

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION
Regarding the Insurance Laws OF
North Carofinu.

RALEIGH, n. c., May 17-(speciai.)-
insurance Commissioner Young. before
leaving for Richmond to-day. said that so
FAR there had been licensed, under the
new insurance law, known as the Willard
law, ~ life, "a fire. - accident and surety.
and fraternal companies. The inpor-
tant question is now raised whether the
Incense under the Willard law does not
entitle the companies TO do business with
out the least regard TO the Craig law.
which requires domestication or for
eign companies. The Insurance Depart
ment has nothing to do with this Crai5
bill. The companies will probably go
ahead and do business under the Willard
act license. and then. IL the State wants
to make test. 1t will have to indict them
under the Craig act. SO far, only five
companies have taken licenses under the
Craig law with the Secretary OF state.
The companies to-day sprung the question
whether. IL they took license under the
Craig law, they could do so for a period
of years. The Insurance Commissioner
says he sees no reason why they cannot.
Companies are afraid II they comply with
the Craig law they cannot stop business
In North Carolina when they desire to
do So.
