wTDNFSDAY. Oct.

WEDNESDAY, Oct. II.
Strong bUhish Influences took hold Of
the stock market early in the day and
sent prices up with vim and vigor.
There was enthusiastic buying all
around The room. with London houses
taking a prominent part, 1t is esti-
mated that fully 1000 shares OF Cana
dian Pacific. Union Pacific, Louisville
and Nashville and Erie were bought
for Lonfnn account, In the local trad"
ing the, anthracite coal road stocks
Developed the greater strength, partly
on reports Of constantly increasing
business and partly on John Nit
chell's assurance that there will be
no mineav'' strike. Reading was as
excessively active for awhile at above
l2s. Lackswanna sold at Sb, which
Is 10 points above It's previous high
record. Jersey Central rose nearly
points, and Delaware & Hudson 81
The sharp, advance in Wisconsin Cen
trail comm4on and preferred was caused
by the rumorv OF negotiations to use
this railroad as q connecting NM Do
tween the Erie and the Great North
ern. In THE last hour there was o
general recession Of prices.
Although Union Pacific, as usual re-
ceived sturdy pool support It sold on
on arious'rumors relating TO the NW'-
00N.0 900 Of new preferred which was au-
thorized stock by the stockholders some
time ago. Stock Exchange traders are
unable tolfnd out when this new stock
Is 70 be ISSUED and they accuse the
Union Pacific management OF being
too mysterious about II. A story was
current to-day that the new stock will
be marketed loon after President Har-
rlman returns from abroad and that
a good portion Of the proceeds will be
spent in protecting the Union Pacific
from threatened encroaehment OF rival
railroad interests,
In the afternoon the bears made et-
.ective use'of a paragraph In the speech
delivered before the American Bank
ers' Convention by Vice-Presldent Van
derlip, Of the National City Bank. Mr..
Wanderlip deprecated stock speculation
lat present price levels because OF a
probability that It might develop tenn
disaster. An eager selling move
ment followed the publication Of this
paragraph and prices dropped l-2 to
. points throughout the entire list.
The steadness Of the monsC market
helped the upward movement Of prices
materially. Can none was plentiful
at 5l-2 a 53-, and borrowers appear IL
be reconciledito these rates for the time
being, Time money ruled 5 per ceirt.
FOR ninety days and 41.2 a 43-4 for i've
and six months. The money lenders be-.
leye that they will be able to get, for
the remainder of This year, a minimum
Of I 10 ) per cent for their funds, with
occasional advances above these figures.

PROPOSALS NEARLY READY.
German Governments Plans for Treaty
With United States.

BERLIN, September 3O.-The German
governments definite proposals to the United
States for commercial treaty are about
ready to forward to Washington. They
have been prepared because of a request of
the State Department. which inquired in
June precisely what 1T is that Germany
wants If the existing arrangement is I'M
satisfactory.
Chancellor Won Buelow asked the Ger
man chamber of commerce and the organ
izations of the individual trades to inform
the government of their ideas of the lines
a new convention should take. These re-
ports. some of which have been cabled.
form a mass of material on which the sec
ond division of the foreign Office, that de-
voted to trade policies and consular ad-
mnistration, has been working. DR.. Won
Koerner. director of the department, who,
more than any one else. carried through
the difficult Russian and Austrian treaties,
has the American affair in hand.
Americans doing business in Germany,
who have built up the import trade in
American manufactures are continually
asked by Germans what they think of the
prospects of a reciprocity treaty. and they
usually reply that the outlook is doubtful,
but they have been considerably cheered by
the recent action of the New York and
other American chambers of commerce in
favor of trade treaty.

HAS MONEY TO BURN
EQUITABLE COMPANY WOULD
LEND n.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 30.-According
to the statement issued today by President
Paul Morton OF the Equitable Life AS
surance Society. that company has more
money than It knows what to do with. The
following statement was given out by Mr..
Morton today:
'.First-class securities are difficult to get.
The society Is not receiving applications for
loans on high-class New York real estate
as rapidly as 1t would like to get them. 1t
has money to invest, and is anxious to take
1t out of the banks and put 1t in mortgages.
The policy Of the society hereafter will be
to make 1t easy for good people to borrow
money from it on high-class property.
Mr.. Morton would not say what interest
he expected to get for Equitable money. but
in the past the Equitable has been getting
not less than per cent on gilt-edged mort
cages. and has been getting as high as o12
per cent on small loans.
Mr.. Morton said today that he did not
care to discuss the testimony given yester-
day before the legislative committee by
Assistant Auditor Maine relative to the
Equitable's share In contributions to keep
down iniQuitous state legislation in various
parts of the country. He said that in the
last five years the Equitable had had to
contribute only about $4,000 for legisla-
tive expenses.
