THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

A furry in call money rates tended to weaken
values for time in yesterdays market. but, as
8 rule, early losses were covered before the
close final prices showing net gains in the
greater number of issues. Wall Street specu-
lators refuse 10 become frightened over the
monetary situation. and. despite the caution of
banks and the larger Stock Exchange houses,
the Wall Street traders who hold long" stocks
not disposed to show any uneasiness over
the election. Money was advanced yesterday
because some lenders thought that the ap-
Nproach of The election warranted higher rates
and better collateral. People who needed money
We're willing to pay for it. The stock market
exhibited a short period of heaviness but. as an
important factor upon prices. the advance in
money rates fell decidedly fat. In some quarters

giving encoura cement to this view. It is GER
tain that actual monetary conditions had moth
ing to do with the advance. as in the week
cash resources at this centre have increased,
while ii is thought that loan contraction has
been heavy enough TO bring about considera

were followed by easier quotations in the foreign
exchange market. sterling ending the day near

The stock market is approaching the election in
a sober and conservative manner that fore

Of Republican success. Some good judges be-
lieve that speculation will only enjoy few days
of rising values. Immediately following the de-
feat of Bryanism, and that the big bull move

WHY TowNE WAS NOMINATED
Chairman Butler, of the Peoples nat
ional.committee, said on Wednesday, it
was true that both Mr.. Bryan and Mr..
Towne had expressed preference not
to have the Peoples party nomination
for vice. president; but that the con-
vention judgment was that the best
way to elect was to nominate. He
said that neither of the two was &C
quainted with the present situation as
to the Populist vote, and to have ap-
peared to disband the Peoples party
organization would have lost Mr..
Bryan ten Populist votes for every
gold Democratic vote he would have
won back to him. The conventions
action be said, was the necessary thing
to insure Bryan's election.
