NEW YORK STOCKS And BONDS
stringency in the Money Market Shows
Evidences Of BxaggeratiOn,
CALL RATE RISES TO 80 PER CENT
Runtor of Engagement Of several
Million Dollars of Gold for
Import-CIOsinG Prices
Weak.

NEW YORK. April 5.-The stringency In
the money market was unreieVed tooay
and indeed showed evidences OF aggraNa-
ton. The eject was to paralyze specn.
lative activity in the stock market. barly
in the day there was some show OF am
apparent effort TO revive speculative In
terest and keep prices moving upwards;
The attempt was almost entirely abandoned
as soon as the loaning operations for the
day began. The selling pressure, now
ever, was singularly free from urgency
and the effect on prices was slight. Inc
argument is heard in this connection that
the indifference of the market TO the hlgn
rates for coal loans is evidence OF t h
equipment of the active parties TO the
speculation with money resources secured
in time loans which leaves exemption from
the exigencies of the call loan market
Prices of stocks have been held az an
average level considerably above that az
the close of last week, although the maxi
has mounted to a higher level. Last week
speculation was based largely on the con
fidence that any furry there might De IN
money would be temporary and would pas pass
the worst on Monday. 1t IS hardly SUM-
cient explanation of the indifference to the
money rate reflected in the stock markes
with time funds, In view OF the very ecuNe
borrowing which occurs at the stock eS-
change day after day and the eager DID
ding which carries the call loan rate up
with feverish fluctuations. Today the
rate reached 10 per cent by noon ana ~
tered entirely in the money situation. Hu-
mors were current during the early part
OF the day of an engagement OF several
million dollars gold for import The drain
on local bank reserves continued large to-
day. Transfers through the subtreasury
were made of $4,000 to San Francisco and
of 100000 TO New Orleans. The moVement
is supplemented by express shipments OF
currency and the subtreasury absorption
continues large on account Of customs col
lections These conditions leave no room
for mystery over the stringency OF the
money market. other considerations were
| ignored. Reports of intended concessions
| by the anthracite miners in their demands
| and the declaration of an initial dividend
on the preferred stock of the missouri,
Kansas & Texas company were OF shght
| offsetting effect. The money situation pro-
duced its greatest effect during the furry

SHEkP-Sheep opened about steady and
a few loads Of both sheep and lambs sold
at prices not materially different from yes
terday 1t soon became apparent. however,
that there was weak undertone to the
market and buyers, after picking up a few
loads which they especially wanted
dropped out Of the market and for a time
there was very little doing. The reason
was to be found In the fact that some very
high prices were paid yesterday and buy
ers seemed to feel that the prices prevail
ing in the east did not justify them The
further fact that the quality was on an
average none too good helped TO make a
slow market. The result was that the
trade not only became very dull, but closed
easier
AS noted yesterday quite a number OF
shorn sheep and lambs are coming forward
the sheep selling about 81 a hundred lower
than wool grades and lambs 81 GOAL %
lower.
