LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

There was nothing OF special consequence
developed at todays meeting of the stock
exchange, except perhaps a tendency to-.
ward a somewhat higher level In the case
of some of the more active issues. This
was accomplished without much trading
another evidence Of the condition of the
market. which does not seem to be favor
able to extensive operations in any line.
The local situation continues to be good
In all respects, and there Is evidence that
the pressure for money, which at one time
was the subject of some complaint, and
to which was attributed much Of the dull
ness of the market, does not continue. and
that conditions in this respect are much
easier.
The money situation at the principal CEN
tiers seems satisfactory as far as the call
money proposition Is concerned. The av-
erage rates have been from to
per cent. with most Of the business done
at around per cent.
The demand for money locally tells Its
own story. AS the history Of the local
market plainly enough indicates there Is
no special call for new commitments The
prevailing rate here for call loans to good
borrowers is per cent although in many
Instances no change has been made In the
case OF loans Of long standing in the ~
per cent rate.
At the present time, It Is stated. the trust
companies are securing satisfactory real
estate paper at per cent, running for two.
three and five years. Following the analogy
or the past. however, there Is reason to
suppose that within sixty days the nominal
rate for first-class trust notes will be back
to ~ per cent.
The general situation has not been affected
by the recent happenings In banking circles
and there has been no impairment in the
confidence of the public as some imagined
might be the case. 1t is believed there are
substantial grounds for such confidence.
which Is further strengthened by the in
telligence of the people here.
1t Is also felt that while there Is no peril
In the present situation, that the outlook
for the future Is specially assuring.
Today's Government Receipts.
National bank notes received today for
redemption were $5O0674: government re-
ceipts from internal revenue were 1,042,-
800: customs, $1.034, 1S7; miscellaneous,

SOME BIG TRANSACTIONS
But the Tone as Whole Was Hesitat'
ing.
BANK RATE WAS UNCHANGED
Statements From other Foreign Banks
Were Stronger Than That OF
Great Britain.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 25.-Aside from a
considerable increase in the volume of busi-
ness. transactions in the stock market TO-
day showed few more points OF interest,"
and significance than they did yesterday.
The betterment in respect of activity was
also due altogether to the very large trans
actions which were conducted In a rev
stocks. Thus an undue proportion OF the
days total was caused by the dealings In
Amalgamated Copper, United States Steel
common, Reading and Union Pacific, al
though in none of the stocks mentioned
was there anything of novelty to be cited,
which would account for their comparative
activity.
The tone of the market as a whole was
q heavy and sagging one, although the
course of the trading was punctuated from
time to time by more or less extensive raj
lies. Explanations of the general drift OF
prices could be found only along the same
lines that have been similarly enectWe
during the past week.
The Bank of Englands rate of discount
was left unchanged at 6 per cent, but the
banks weekly statement was not alto-
gether liked in London. and the stock mar
ket at that point was generally heavy also.
No changes were made In the discount rates
of the other large European banks, the
weekly returns of which were much strong

Spurts Not Explained.
AS has been the case for a week past. the
American department of the London mar
ket showed decided pressure. but the busi-
ness conducted here for foreign account was
on a reduced scale and showed small net
results. Foreign purchases of United
States Steel common were quite large. and
indeed Offset the selling for the same &C
count in other directions.
There was no material alteration In the
conditions which have existed previously In
che money and foreign exchange markets.
Washington dispatches set forth that the
treasury officials were gratified at the alac-
rity with which the banks are arranging to
take out new circulation. and money mar
ket affairs around the first of the month
ought to be helped by the treasury dis
bursements on account of the interest on
the government debt
The banks have suffered a loss In their
operations with the subtreasury since last
Friday of 81, 800 900. and have doubtless lost
a much larger sum through their direct
shipments of currency to the interior, hence
the outlook for Saturdays bank statement
is not particularly favorable one
As noted above. the exceptional activity
In a small number of stocks was not direct
y explained, but 1t Is unnecessary to say
that professional sentiment was much I'M
pressed by the heavy apparent liquidation
In such stocks as Amalgamated Copper and
United States Steel. The directors OF the
last-named corporation will hold their quar-
terly meeting on Tuesday, when the state
ment for the period will be submitted ana
action taken upon the dividends.

NEW YORK. October 25.-On the basis OF
the London quotations this morning for
American railroad shares lower prices for
those securities were looked for in the
early trading In our market but unless
something strlkingly unfayorable develop
ed during the day it was believed that be-
fore the close the market would be In
clined to rally. 1t was pointed out, how
ever. that no one could predict with any
degree of certainty the course of the cur
rent market for given day or for sever
al days In succession In a broad way,
however. 1t was the opinion of certain In
terestS that 1t could be assumed with a
reasonable degree of safety that rallies
would follow declines Of two or three points
on the average for the active list.

Although the cables early this morning
indicated that after the close of business
in London yesterday there was more or
less apprehension regarding monetary con-
ditions at the center and Paris, and as to
the demand that might be made upon the
Bank of England for gold, It Is understood
that prominent banking interests here do
not look for any serious trouble In connec-
ton with the money market. man
who Is In close touch with some Of
the largest International bankers said yes
terday afternoon that he did not look for
dearer money on this side, and that on the
contrary he looked for easier rates a little
later on.

Although the Norfolk and Western d.
rectors ordered an increase in the divt-
dend on the common stock. 1t cannot be
learned with any degree of certainty that
well-informed interests look for more than
the usual per cent on Chesapeake and
Ohio.
: 1t Is understood that interests which have
been actively identified with the stock
market transactions in this security have
withdrawn from the campaign which they
1t has not been possible to learn why they
took this action. The rather large amount
of stock which, it Is understood. they have
sold, seems to have been remarkably well

those who sold it are curious to know who
the actual buyers were.~

Apparently inside interests in the local
traction issues are very well satisfied with
those securities on the basis Of the earn
ings already in hand and those in prospect.
It is intimated that the next quarterly re-
port of the New York City Railway Com
pany will be a pleasant surprise to the
holders Of the Interborough-M Metropolitan
securities. It is learned from good sources
that while no attempt Is being made to
advance the stock, all the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit offered is being quietly picked up
by inside interests. 1t Is also learned that
a few days ago large operator who was
short of fair sized block Of Brooklyn
Rapid Transit was surprised to see the
difficulty he encountered in covering his
contracts on favorable terms.

President Marvin Hughitt Of the Chicago
and Northwestern President J. ]. Mitchell
of the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank and
President Wheeler Of the Chicago Subway
Company are in town. It Is understood
that within the next few days the Chicago
Subway Edison negotiations will be closed.
Western railroad men who are here ap-
parently are not apprehensive Of the out
come of the request recently made by GER
tain of employees for higher wages and
shorter hours. They assert positively that
the matter will be amicably adjusted.

ARIZONA'S DEVELOPMENT Is
 REALLY JUST BEGINNING

Mining activity marks Arizona as not before in years. Big companies and big capital are coming in and ex- tending their holdings. This always means good business for the little fell lows too. Custom smelters open a market for medium ore, and big con- cerns in a field mean roads and rail- roads, towns. cheaper living, and more economical mining.
 With all the wonders of Arizona of today, development is scarcely begun. There are fertile valleys. vast stretches Of unused lands, mountains of yalua- ble metal. and thousands of square miles of forests never cut. People are coming in by the thousands, new rail- roads are projected or under construc- ton, and in every line the territory shows an advance.
