RISE IN PRICES STOPPED.
MONEY OUTLOOK CHANGED.
Optimistic Views of Saturday Were Sub
iected to Modfications--Cuwenoy
Moving Westward Again.

New York, November 4-Speculators
were disappointed In their hopes Of rise

they faucled that the active buying move

tion, how far the forthcoming announce

counted. The benefit of such develop
ment as removing a threatened cause OF
damage to securities values is sclf-evldent
hut the financial project which these me-
gotiatlons seek to adjust on a permanent
basis has lost Its magical power Of appeal
10 the speculative Imagination.
The apparent decision Saturday to ad-
here to an optimistic view Of the money
outlook was also modified today. The en-
gagement of 81, 100000 in gold for shipment
by today's steamer TO Europe and the re-
newed strength in the foreign exchange
market, in spite Of sales against this ship
menu were clear notices 81 a considerable
requirement still unsatished. The light Of
fcrlngs of government bonds for redemp,
ton, compared with the large blocks OF
last Friday came as another dsappoint-
ment and dashed the hopes OF considera bile
relief to the money market from this
source.
