this canal company is desperate in its pur-

CALL LOANS TOUCH

Highest Money Rate of the Year

Margins to Sell Freely.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York, Dec. 1..-Interest in Wall

market. Call loans touched Il per cent and
large loans were made at 10 per cent Tho
prevailing rate, however. was per cent.
After the urgent demands were supplied
the rate declined to 3 per cent. but ran
up again to 6 per cent at the close.
With the money rate at Y per cent to-
day, the highest Of the year. holders Of
stocks on margin saw wisdom in selling
them. which they did on such a large scale
and with such evident desire to get rid Of
them that the entire market was upset for
from 2 to 4 per cent.
The weakest period was In the morning.
There were rallies from the first slump. but
the closing prices indicate some heavy losses
for the day.
the banks to-day refused to loan money at
the rates which they have been demanding
recently. After yesterdays experience
with 10 per cent rate, It was found ad-
visable to contract some OF their loans.
This is process that Wall street always
stands in fear Of. and which generally re-
suits in a stock-market slump.

day; Missouri Pacific two and st. Paul one
