Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, April THE tone of the stock
market has been good this week and the
prices have been firm, but the volume OF
business has been very small. Dizziness is
due chiefly to an international monetary
situation that forbids large dealings on the
stock exchange Three continental coun-
tries making arrangements for large
loans-Russia, Germany, France-and it is
expected that London will be called upon
to provide, indirectly, large sum for the
taking up of these loans in addition to any
direct subscriptions for them that may be
made here. Already Germany has begun
selling stocks on this market, and no doubt
France will follow suit.
Money is cheaper here than it was, but
these seems to be no more of it available
for ordinary operations In the stock mar
kets than there was a month ago. 1t has
gilt-edge stocks. Consols have been
marked 81 several times since the week be-
gan, and that is the highest figure this
year The budget surplus already realized,
which will be applied to the debt redemp-
ton, has helped the consols, and they also
have strengthened on the belief that further
sums will be devoted to the same purpose in
the coming financial year. A moderate de-
governments of Moroccan trouble, but no
stratling movements have taken place.
British rails have been firmly held, but not

own.

LONDON, April RATES for money
were easy in the market today, though, in

HEARD ON CHANGE

81 wonder how long it will be before this
place is open for two or three hours during
the day so that we can come in, transact
our business in short time as we please
and so away again? o. was the rather rhetor-
zeal question which one stock broker asked
of another while they We're waiting for the
meeting of the local exchange to open one
day this week.
The question was rhetorical because an
answer was really not expected. The
broker who spoke was merely musing, The
other prcked up his ears at the remark
when we will have no regular call and
business will be done as it is in the New
York exchange?' he queried, carrying out
the idea
Yes, that's it," was the reply.
SUess it will be a long time, but
It will be a great day for Washington when
something like that happens
Such conversations these but voice the
sentiment among a number of the local
brokers who have paid well for their seats
in the exchange. emitting them to transact
business there. for some action. possibly in
the line of marked innovation, that will
result in an increase of the volume of BUSH
ness and accelerate that which is done.
That this sentiment is growing is quite
apparent to those who attend the meetings
of the exchange and talk with the brokers'
Doubtless the time Is far distant when
Washington will have exchange con-
Quoted on the principles of the New York
exchange, if indeed that time ever arrives,
but it is certain that new and better meth
DDS adapted to local conditions as they have
advanced, will come into vogue.
The discussion of this problem is by no
means new. but that it does not die out is
believed TO be the best indication that 1t
will have results.
Perhaps added interest was given the
question this week by q meeting of the gov
afternoon, at which the listing of securities
was talked about at some length. Those
who brought the matter up desire to add
new stocks to the list, which will increase
the business of the exchange and oevise
some means by which inactive securities at
present on the board and called every day,
may be properly dealt with in order to pre-
vent loss of valuable time.
Just what the governing committee is
likely TO do on this score is hard to say. No
course of action, 1t is understood was de-
cided upon at the meeting, and doubtless
other meetings will be held in the near fu-
ture to consider the matter In more detail
How to deal with the inactive issues
drawing line between those which ought
to be left on the board and those which
ought not. Is very ticklish question and
opens up big problem The inactive Sc
curitieS include those of some of the most
solid business corporations in the city
which are held tight gC cd investments
and for weeks at a time scarcely produce
any business at all. Much objection would
doubtless be raised if it were decided to
drop any of these. But the question of time
is valuable one.

LOAN EXPANSION A SURPRISE

NEW YORK, April T.-Today's bank
statement showed the cash reserve of the
clearing house banks To- be s. 800. $50 below
the legal requirements. rhe showing was
not surprise. in view of the course of the
money market this week and of the reports
of the known movements of money which
made their appearance yesterday. The
cash loss disclosed by the bank statement
of ST.91I,2Oo was about equal to the mini
mum estimates of yesterday.
The considerable loan expansion of 81. 205,-
100 occasioned some surprise. While the
stock market of the week has given no
evidence of important liquidati ton, it was
going on Of credits from the local banks
to interior and foreign lenders.
The stock market yielded ground but
slowly after the publication of the bank
statement from the vantage point Of some
regular, with evidence of some support
here and there The last occasion on which
the banks showed a deficit In the surplus
reserves was on December last
1t in the week following that specu-
latiVe activity became most pronounced on
the stock exchange. the aggregate sales for

a temporary hurry in money was count
"a upon incident to the accommodations of
cash necessary to effect the heavy disburse-
ments of dividends and interest falling due
ON the first OF the month, but it was ex-
pected that Monday would show the highest
call loan rate with growing relaxation
thereafter. On the contrary, the highest
rate touched on Monday was 10 per cent.
ON Tuesday the maximum rose to II per
cent, on Wednesday 10 ~ per cent, on
Thursday 10 30 per cent and on Friday to
81 per cent. This is in contrast with the
course of the money market in the opening
week Of the year, following the quarterly
disbursements. when the ma Xmum rate on
Tuesday was "a per cent, on Wednesday 30
per cent. on Thursday 90 per cent and on
Friday to 10 per cent, with the ruling rate
ON that day back to & per cent level.
Interest and discussion this week have
,entered on the money question to the al
most total exclusion of other subjects The
immediate cause of the stringency is clearly
enough traceable to the heavy demands
upon the cash reserves of the banks. Large
fcNuttdnCES have been called for from in
terror points and from the large banking
ceuters on the eastern seaboard, and trans
ieTs have been made both by the medium of
he spbtreasury and by express
TeleEraphic transfers to San Francisco
Werc recognized as means of remittance
TO Japan of funds of that government on
deposit In New York. Customs collections
have been large and have made the sub
treasury requirements on the New York
banks OHerous. The immediate cash outgo
from the banks has been large enough
from these causes to depleJe the nea ger
margin of the surplus reserves and to ex-
haust the supply nf lO9nabIe funds. But
deeper-seated causes are sought for the
present scarcity OF available funds, and the
principal of these has come to be gener-
ally recognized in the heavy demands for
new capital outlay in the last three months
