NEW YORK, Oct. 13-The tone of the
stock market was heavy today, and there
was the same obscurity about the causes
as was the case yesterday. The gossip
of the board room attributed 1t to po-
litical uncertainties. The added pressure
after the appearance Of the bank state
ment might seem to preclude the money
situation as motive of the selling of
stock, as the considerable addition to the
surplus gives the index of a favorable
statement according to the method of
professional stock market computations
The sS460600 addition to cash reserves
was considerably in excess of preliminary
estimates. The excess was supposed to
represent a correction of last weeks dis
crepancy.
The sl3326,so0 increase in loans was
a somewhat formidable measure OF the
transfer of borrowings from foreign
markets to this, which has been forced
by the rise in foreign money rates. Ac.
count is also taken Of the termination OF
the important movement of gold and the
completion of the deposit by the gov
ernment Of the money designated for that
purpose with the banks which have fur
nished the means for the building up OF
the banking reserve up to this point The
current of the domestic cash movement
Is still setting strongly from New York
to the interior.
Discounts rose again in London today
and the Bank of England parted with
$4,000. 900 more gold to Egypt.
The foreign exchange market Is merely
nominal in New York on Saturday but
the quotations for sterling exchange to-
day were reduced a quarter of a cent In
the pound sterling Reports of the mer-
camille agencies showed continuance Of
the intense activity In all commercial
departments and the weeks bank clear
ings show no subsistence from the high
level of exchanges in the country money
markets.
The market closed heavy with signi1-
cant rallies from the low point.
Total sales of bonds, par value, s1092,OO0.
