Stocks and Bonds.

New York, Oct 6.-Speculative in
terest pretty well died out of the mar
ket today and the determination
seemed to be reached to await more
definite outcome of the money stu
alton. The rate for call loans did
not rise to the high level of yesterday
but the average rate at which call
money was placed was above that of
yesterday. Some of the trust COM
panies were reported to be calling
loans and this gave the impression
that those institutions had about
reached the limit of their ability to
relieve borrowers from the banks by
transfer, a process which has been
going on steadily for several weeks
past. This being the case and with
the depletion of bank reserves still
interrupted, an actual contraction of
credits would be indicated for the i'm
mediate future rather than the SHIFT
ing about of accommodations to en-
able the bank to preserve the SEM
blance of a surplus which mas gone
on m to this time. The probability
of a weak bank return tomorrow also
came in for consideration.
News of the day otherwise was not
of much interest. and was of scarcely
any effect.

man PacificS and st. Paul were no
