NEW YORK. OCT 1Oz-Activit1 i'm tbe
stock market was Merry much benumbed
by the perpleXitieS in the money market
outlook. International exchange and the
rates for money on foreign markets at
tracted more attention than did news OF
domestic events, except as they affected
some special properties. With the small
interest there was in stocks, was mostly
centered on the SpecialtieS and the move
ments of prices there was irregular, Peo-
pies Gas was rather acutely depressed on
the news of a general issue of fnjunctions
to prevent the company from charging
more than 40 cents for gas, while that
rate was accorded to any of its consum-
ers. La Cle6e Gas weakened. apparently
IN sympathy. Sugar and Tennessee Coal
rather free selling. Manhattan on the
contrary, showed a continuance of its re-
cent strength during the early dealings,
and Brooklyn Transit seemed In SONS
demand American Tin Plate in the
metal group rose over point, and Hook
ing Valley as much. Except for the last
named stock these advances were all
wiped out in the late reaction The
heaYfneSS Of the general list became
marked only after a brief resistance. The
movement of prices was very narrow and
dealings small, so that the net changes
are not important, but practically all Of
them are losses The large decrease in
earnings of st. Paul for the rirst week
in October was a depressing factor More
loans were called today, and the rate was
marked up to four per cent before
new accommodation could be found This
was the dominant influence in the mar
ket, and the renewed fall in sterling -eSs.,
change, which carried the rate down to
the new level of gold imports, seemed to
have little influence in offsetting the ef-
feet Of higher money rates The sinh

was engaged in London today for ship
ment to New York, but,the discount rates
promptly responded with advances ex~
tending to 70 per cent, and it is generally
believed that the Bank of England will
advance the official Rate tomorrow, as the
private rate has noW gone above it The
