Call Money Relaxed = Time
Loans Stationary.
BUSINESS WAS FlRMER
London Fortnightly Settlement Com
paratively Favorable.
LABOR OUTLOOK IS BETTER
General Opinion Seems to Be That the
Worst Period in the Money
Market is Past.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK November 14-Tnere was
a further relaxation in the rates for money
on call today with no perceptible alteration
observed in the quotations for loans for
time periods. In fact. IL any change It all
could be mentioned In the latter depart
ment of the money market, it was in the
direction of harder conditions rather than
the contrary. Today's stock L-arket, how
ever. took heart from the easing ) he
rates for call loans and during the greater
part of the business session ruled decidedly
firm.
The London stock market was strong
also. being helped by the favorable progress
of the fortnightly settlement and American
stocks were comparatively buoyant there,
their tone being followed up by purchases
for foreign account amounting to upward
of 10000 shares. chiefly of Amalgamated
Copper and Southern Pacific.
The markets tone was probably helped
to some extent by the indications that the
labor troubles threatening on various rail-
way lines were susceptible of easy adjust
ment, although II still appeared to be the
case that money market conditions were
the main object of consideration
The trading was lacking in the stimulus
furnished yesterday by the visit to this
city of the Secretary of the Treasury, even
although the latter at the time was devoid
OF any substantial results.
Business Is Broader.
Broadly speaking and in spite of the re-
Taxation in the rates for money on call and
the maintained tone in the market for
money on time, the opinion seemed to pre-
vail that the danger line in the money
market had been passed and that no worse
conditions than those already experienced
would be repeated. The dealings were in
somewhat larger volume than yesterday,
but presented few features of individual in
terest.
St. Paul. which was the most conspicuous
stock In yesterdays market. continued very
prominent persistent reports that the
shareholders soon would be in receipt of
valuable privileges In connection with an
additional issue of new stock. although the
time at which the transaction would be
undertaken was not clearly defined.
Northern Pacific and Great Northern pre-
ferred also made noteworthy advances, the
movements in those cases being again
based on the idea that both stocks would
likewise receive ere long some special dis
tributions of profits representing the equf-
ties In each instance.
In the market for stock privileges there
was an eager inquiry for calls on Northern
Pacific with TO offerings below 235.
Reading occupied its usual position In the
market in point of activity and was de-
cidedly firm on confident predictions that
the next dividend on the stock would be de-
clared at an advanced fate. and that this
step was likely to be followed by some
further distribution of equities representing
the segregation of the coal lands of the
company from the railway.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The tendency toward higher prices which
was noted as a feature today OF the New
York market was also a characteristic OF
some of the trading at the meeting today Of
the local stock exchange. This was brought
out when the bond list was being called and
while there was not great amount OF
trading, yet the demand appeared to be
good, and IL there had been any sale orders
there would probably have been good deal
done In that class OF securities and at bet
ter prices.
Quite a lot Of the bonds OF the telephone
company were for sale. and were taken on
higher range Of prices than has prevailed
recently. The selling was from 105A to
105&. the greater portion bringing the lat
ter figure.
Better prices ruled In the case Of the
street railway stocks, although there was
not much done In any Of them. The best
record, as far as the upward course was
concerned. was made by the stock Of the
Capital Traction Company as the bid for 1t
rose to 144h. an increase of three-quarters
OF point over the closing bid of yesterday.
Some Of the preferred stock Of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company was
bought In order to furnish an option, but
otherwise there did not seem to be very
than there was for the common stock.
The interest of the day conferred in the
trading In the stock Of Union Trust Com
pany. This was due not only to the persist
ency OF the demand but also to the volume
reached in the transactions. There was one
principal buyer during the early portion of
the trading. but the selling was quite gen.
eral. and when 1t was found the bid of 40
was fixture for apparently any amount of
the capital stock, quite a good deal OF
stock responded to the market.
After over one hundred shares had been
secured by the main buyer, bid Of 40
was made for one hundred shares by an
other broker. and he was supplied with such
lot. At that figure the bid for the stock
continued, and after call the trading In It
was resumed and sales were made as high
as 14ON. Altogether there were 240 shares
traded in during the session.
A few lots of the rights were sold at
after the call, which was the asking price
during the call. At that time the best bid
was ~
