BUYING MUCH CURTAILED
Close Is irregular at Small
Net Changes.

| New York, Oct f.-The warning con-
tanned in yesterdays hurry in call
money TO per cent was taken by the
speculative element today and the rather
incorporate buying which has flooded
the market since the latter part of last
week was materially curtailed- There
was a great deal of business done in the

spite Of some sharp manipnlatve ad-
vances in few specialues and the aver
age level OF prices went below last night.
The selling was not at all precfpi ate
and hsowed a tendency 10 decrease as
prices receded TO the lower lesel, but
when efforts were made 10 bd up prices
again II was found that selling orders
were waiting at the higher level In suffi-
cient volume TO force prices back again.
Later in the day a much heralded up
ward movement in Northern Pacific came
into notice. The price was ola today
when the advance began and II carried
the quotation up through some very
heavy selling without material setback

of nearly 400 miles. There was a nota-

the recoveries were quite insignificant.
The fall in the call loan rate 10 3i1 per
cent in the last half hour was equally
without effect in re-awakening specula-
tive interest and the market closed ir-
regular at small net changes.
The earlier rate for call loans ruled
from to per cent and il is not I'M
likely that the reaction was due TO the
abstinence of the SPECTATORS from fur
Their eneroachment on money resources.
Banks called .oans TO the extent OF sew
