LONDON STOCK MARKET.

LONDON. November 3.-Supplies of
money were larger in the market today and
rates We're easier. Discounts were firm.
Prices on the stock exchange were quietly
firm with fractional Improvement in consols
and kindred securities. A fair amount of
business was transacted in industrias and
home rails. Russian bonds maintained their
recent improvement.

idend rumors. United States Steel weak

and the market closed steady.
japanese imperial 6s of 1904 closed at
1O01l Business in the gilt-edge section of
the stock exchange this week was checked
by dear money and fears that a
further rise in the bank rate may be
necessary in the near future, owing to the
recent decline in New York exchange and
coupled with demands from Argentina,
Egypt and the cash outflow in December.
Consols, however, closed cheerful and frac-
tionally higher on the week. 1ndustrials
and home rails occupied most of the atten
ton of investors and reached a higher lev
ell. While Mexican railroad securities eX-
perenced a large business, it is thought
that proit-taking caused a relapse from the
best figures. The feature of the week was
the sharp rise in Russian bonds, to 312 per
cent discount on support by Paris and
Jewish financiers. American securities were
still affected by the monetary situation and
the approaching elections in the United
States. Pennsylvania and Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad securities were the most &C
tive. The former, which supported be-
cause of the increased dividend, showed
net gain of 81, while the latter was de-
pressed by the failure of a larger distribu-
ton and closed So lower Otherwise the
movements were narrow and business
small. Quotations at the close of the mar
ket showed only slight changes on the

ations. The general deposits were reduced

deposits was, however, greater by 81 1S9, 100

not make good proof. The required reserve
against deposits fell off 81, 71S 500 deducting
which from the decrease in cash left 81 62S.-

securities. which were returned from abroad
during the week and those that replaced
foreign securities that had been liquidated
were effected with local trust companies as
appeared to have been the case in the pre-
vious week, the contraction in bank loans
last week probably reflects recalls thereof

dividends and interest. The daily average
of bank clearings last week was $3.50, 900, 600
against 1914, 100000 in the previous week;

NEW YORK BANKS.

NEW YORK November 3.-The Financier
says this week:
The official statement of the New York
associated banks last week-though disclos
ing the expected large loss of cash, as in
dicated by the preliminary estimates. which
were based upon the traceable movements
of money during the week-was more ia
vorable than was looked for. In that the
surplus reserve was not entirely extin-
su!shed, such extinction having been avoid
ed partly through decrease in loans and
also because of favorable changes in some
of the minor items. 1t Is noteworthy that
public deposits We're reduced $4.7S0, 700,
circulation was augmented 81. 800, 100 and
loans exceeded deposits by 1921, 100 more
than In the previous week, making almost
the maximum record of such excess this
year; the total thereof shown last week be-
ing $50, 966, 800 The cash loss was 1892 coo
and IL was due largely to the movement Of

HEARD ON CHANGE

With the exception CT a scaling down in
not much of consequence that happened in
the local market. An incident that ex-
cited some attention at the time was the
marketing of small block Of Capital
Traction stock. Owing to the lack of sup
port which the stock was given quite a
decline took place.
AS it turned out this was only temporary,
and as it was demonstrated that only
small block was to come out, the market
regained its equaninity, or at least that
portion of it which is actively interested
in this rather closely held security. Prices
went back to their former level and the
usual supporter of the stock seemed to
regain confidence.
The list seemed to be more or less
affected by the prediction nervousness
which was manifest in the larger market,
but that was overcome before the close OF
the quotations was noticeable, we'll as
an improved demand. The latter, how
ever, did not attain any large volume
The disposition which is generally shown
at times Of market recession in the figures
to pick up bargains was not at all marked
at this time, and the reason assigned for
the apparent lack of interest was the DIFF
flculty which, it was said was experienced

sort.
The condition Of the local money market
in regard to loans is something about
which there is quite diversity of opinion
1t is said on the one hand that the banks
have plenty of money, and also, it is said,
that they are loaned up and have none at
their disposal. 1t is also said that while
it may be true that money is scarce with
the local institutions. 1t is claimed that
condition is mainly due to the fact that
available money has been sent to New
York to get the advantage of the high
rates.
1t Is also asserted on the part of the banks
that they are overstocked with loans on
some of the more active securities on the
local exchange and that, therefore, they
are not in position to take any more of
such collateral. At any rate whatever the
explanation is there is no question about
the actual condition of the market, which
is extremely dull and devoid practically of
any buying interest at current figures.
