dered by Governor Stone tonight to send
the first battalion of the Twelfth rdgi-

excited the strikers and there has been
more or less disorder ever since.

THE GYRAT1cNs OF MONEY.
Call Loan Rates Feuctuate From Eleven 10
Twenty Per Cent
(By the ASSOCIATED Press J


New York, Sept. 23.-The local inan-
cial situation continued to excite con-
siderable interest today Money on call
huctuated between IL and 20 per cent be-
fore noon, opening at the first figure and
advancing to 20 per cent in leaps. BY
noon the rate had eased off to IL per cent.
An unusual and significant feature was
the lending of money by individuals ami
firms who withdrew the greater part of
their bank balances and made loans di-
rect. Naturally this curtailed the sup
ply of bank money and created some i'll
feeling between the banks and their
clients. One prominent brokerage house
is reported to have taken 81 900 600 cash
out of the two banks, lending the money
at from IS per cent to Is per cent. Two
leading banks reported today that with
drawals by their out of town correspond
ents, presumably in the West and South
west, had been unusually heavy. These
drafts it was added. were for crop pnr-
poses. Considerable money is reported
to be going to Chicago, Cleveland and st.
Louis. number of out of town banks
pursued their usual course on this occa-
sion, by withdrawing balances from the
local banks and loaning them direct on
the floor of the exchange. Local branches
of the Canadian banks were heavy lend
ers at the higher rate.
In the last hour the rates for call loans
were quoted from 10 to 19 per cent.
