Rate for Call Loans Goes Up to Twenty Per Cent.-Outpouring of Liquidation.

Rate for Call Loans Goes Up to Twenty
 Per rCent.-Outpouring of Liquidation.
 New York, Nov. 13.-The banks of which the deficiency reserves brought the averages reported in the Saturday
 bank statement below the 20 per cent limit required by law were under legal constraint to reduce their outstanding loans. This they promptly proceeded to do to-day, and threw upon specula- tive borrowers the necessity for liqui- dating their holdings of stocks in order to respond to the calls for repayment of borrowed money. The rate for call
 loans ran up early in the day to 20 per cent. and very large sums were lent at that rate. As a consequence there was fitful liquidation of stocks during most of the day. On the suc- cessive dips in prices caused by the outpouring of liquidation there was buying of an impressive and substan- tial character, so that the course of the market was held well in hand at all times and the necessary liquida- ton conducted without any appearance of fright. The intervals of relaxation of the pressure upon the market brought rallies in prices, but the de- mand was not inclined to follow the recoveries and the ralliese brought dull ness in the trading. The stringency in the money market was greater at any time since the autumn of 1902 and this induced 8 disposition to draw a parallel between that and the present period. In 1902 there was a shrinkage in industrial and commercial activity. The great anthracite strike and the be- ginning of the Northern Securities 1iti- gation were other adverse factors. None of these unfavorable factors has an exact parallel in the situation at this time Confidence in the prosperi- ty and stability of general conditions is quite universal.
 This must account for the material support which developed for the mar ket on any substantial declines and which was clearly in evidence in the character of the buying on declines to- day. In spite of the lofty flights in 1 the money rate rumors persisted of l some early measure of relief soon to l develop. The violent fall in the for I eign exchange rate gave rise to consid- | eration of a possible import movement | of gold, making a sudden reversal of l conditions two weeks ago when possi- 1 ble exports were under discussion. ! Whatever may be the outcome of the l gold movement, to-day's high rates for | money were effective in inducing the l placing of very heavy sums in the loan

STOCK MARKET FEATURES
BIC POOLS HIT BY THE MONEY
 SQUEEZE.

Had to Let Go Some of Their Holdings
 Gall Money Up to 25 Per Cent. at
 the Close - PrognOstication-wall
 Street and the Princeton Game.
 The stock market wore a lively aspect yesterday and stocks gyrated consider ably. principally downward.
 some of the big pools were hard hit and had to let go some of their hold- tngs.
 They found 1t uphill work to force up prices with money getting tighter and tighter.
 After varying from IA to 16 to 20 per cent the price ran up at the close to 25 per cent.
 Prices of stocks fell with ease, the drop ranging from to per cent.
 It was evident that liquidation of the over-eXtended loan account of the banks was proceeding at a rapid rate.
 The longest lender of money on call during the day was H. P. Frothing- ham, who loaned about s12,OO0,00B at between IT and 20 per cent. for the ac- ~V@AAL b% fcL4 4VuS Dc144fAc anu LIuEL CUIIl- panies.
 Late in the day there was partial recovery in the stock market of from 1h to 2 points in some of the active shares.
 The pressure was greater when it be- came known that United States Secre- tary Shaw had declined to step in and help the pools out. If actual business interests had been imperilled, said Sec retary Shaw, he would have rendered aid. The government will not help the spectators to get cheap money.
 The biggest stock market drop was in Reading, which broke to 133 compared with 1S91a, Saturdays closing price, and 14214, the top price the same day. Com pared with the high record of 14S%, at- tained last Wednesday and Thursday, it was break of more than 10 points. It became evident that Reading stock ''could go down."
 The sudden break in call money at the close to 6 per cent was when every body had got what he wanted.
 Some attention was also paid to the renewal of proclamations by Thomas W. Lawson, of Boston, of impending disaster to the stock market.
 As a side show in Wall street yester- day, odds of 8 to 1 were offered that Yale defeats Princeton in next Satur days game, and odds of 1 to 31a that Princeton will win.
 That there was great pressure to se- cure funds yesterday was shown by the increased demand for time loans. Brokers hastened to lay in 8 moderate supply of sixty and ninety-day money, believing that money is liable to remain tight until the end of the year and that it would not be safe to rely on call rates. The legal limit for time loans is per cent. The decline was fought steadily and at each # point reaction in the first two hours there was what appeared to be scale buying. One of the days incidents was that l frequently when high rates were bid for call funds not dollar was offering at 1 the time. The deficit in bank reserves led to l the calling of a large amount of loans | over Sunday. This brought in many l selling orders at the opening. Con- i mission houses had large quantity of l them. The Japanese loan will probably be ] issued next week.
