Heard on Change

With nearly two-thirds of the entire
membership of the exchange in attendance
at one session. a rather unusual circum-
stance which happened during the past
week. 1t was possible to get some idea
of the relative proportion of old and young
men who now compose that body or
course the only way that could be done
was to take gray hair as a criterion. which,
in this case, as in most every other. is
very misleading.
1t was seen that out of the twenty-nine
present there were only eight whose hirsute
adornment showed any signs Of changing.
The young men the color of whose hair
places them In the other class are per-
haps more than balanced by those who
show no such Indications of the passing
of the years
1t Is quite evident, however. that good
proportion of the members of the exchange
are young and II that means the
active traders have Increased the prospect
for an improvement in the current business
is good one. This has already taken
place and whether it is due to the shifting
In the membership or the natural growth of
the interest of the city is something that
is matter largely OF opinion.
There are reasons why more should be
done in local securities than formerly was
the case. 1t Is quite evident that values
have enhanced, owing to the growth of the
business of the city in all the departments.
and besides that there is a great deal more
money available for leans in the financial
institutions of the city than ever before.
There is some talk that it is the intention
of Mr.. John 7. Arms to regain his active
membership in the exchange He has been
out only a short time. and vixen he was on
the floor he was one of the largest traders.
All men do not join the exchange or hold
on to their seats because of the trading
they do or intend to do There are in
stances of those who come day after day
and seldom go on the record as having
made single transaction. and yet they
do not think they are wasting their time
in the hour or so they spend at the daily
noon meetings.
Mr.. Glover lil,es to come because he
enjoys the diversion which the proceedings
sometimes afford. He finds something
there to laugh at and he evidently thinks
that an opportunity to do that. even in
the midst Of a busy day, ought not to be
neglected There are, of course, others.
There are also men who find in the daily
coming together of some who are con-
cerned in the active affairs of the city a
chance to do business other than that
which pertains to the transfer OF local
securities, and in that sense the board

The Money Outlook.

Operations in stocks have continued to be
Influenced by opinions over the money out
look The stir of speculative interest early
in the week had its origin most entirely
in the suppostion that the autumn strain
on the money markets had passed the
worst and that gradually returning ease
was to be expected. There was no actual
stifrening of money rates to accompany the
later reaction in the stock market, but
conditions pointed decidedly to recurrence
OF requirements that would tend to harden
money again.
The rise of prices of stock was engineered
by a party of professional operators and
only slight outside interest was attracted
at any point In it's progress. The move
ment was supposed TO owe Its success
largely 10 the driving to cover Of an eX-
tended short interest. which had awaited
a squeeze in money to find opportunity to
cover their shorts at a profit. Seeing
money rates working easier and prices of
stocks advancing they felt compelled TO
cover.

An Item in the Days Sentiment.

The deposit of 100000 at the subtreasury
for transfer to Chicago, marking the re-
vival or active demand for currency from
that center was Item in the formation
of the days sentiment. The bank state
ment showed only a nominal decrease IN
the surplus. but the heavy gain reported IN
cash was regarded with distrust owing 10
its large excess over any previous estl-
mate based on the known movements OF
money None of these had indicated more
than nominal gain and had varied up TO
an Indicated loss of nearly 100000, while
the bank statement reports an Increase IN
cash of 81. 10000
The reported loan expansion of upward of
SI5.OO0.OOO was also regarded with dis
quietude The selling in the last half hour
was rather precipitated, and although some
rallies occurred by reason of hasty cover
ing of shorts by the successful bears, the
closing was unsettled and irregular.

New York Money Market.

In the New York money market the con-
tribution to bank reserves. included by sub
treasury operations was ON a diminishing
scale, owing to the subsistence of the mid
monthly tide OF pension payments. Some
part of the governments expenditures also
was foreign exchange for post Office ac-
count and contributed 10 the strength of
the foreign exchange market. Demand con-
tinued active also to cover maturing sterl-
ing loans.
The feverlsh speculative conditions de-
veloped again In the cotton market affected
the supply OF cotton bills in the foreign ex-
change market. New York exchange at in
teror points turned again against New
York and fell to discount at Chicago.
Large engagements of vessel room for fu-
ture exports of gold are pointed to as of
promise for easing the foreign exchange
situation. But railroads are overwhelmed
