WALL STREET GOsSIP-Reported by
If. Holbert & Son-We look on the mar
ket as liable to swing up or down in
moderate fluctuations, but with no very
distinct feature one way or the other.
Good stocks will not go off much. on the
other hand, they will probably slowly ad-
vance. but the very low grade stocks
may hang fire. and will probably not
move materially for another month.
Speculative fever here is at low ebb,
and it will require very strong slim
ulant to start it into sufficient life to
make a market broad enough to be re-
ally healthy from bull point of view.
FOREIGN FINANCIAL-London Oct
31-The stock market today was idle in
anticipation of tomorrow's holiday. The
rise in the bank discount rate from to
per cent came as surprise, and sug-
gests the belief that heavy money de-
mands are impending, but the market
was glad to have the matter finally set
tied. American stocks were firm, with
coalers leading. London regards New
York gold exports as bull point, since
they divert the French demand from this
center. Paris exchange is steady, and
Berlin is Al. The Indian banks have re-
duced the discount rate from s to per
cent. Spanish As. 6914 Rand Mines. 1911;
