New York, Oct. 3.-There was more ac-
tivity in the stock market today and the
depression was less passive than in the
torpid market of yesterday The most
pronounced influence on the days market
was the large selling for foreign account,
not only orders from London, but also,
1t was said, from Amsterdam and Euro
pean points. This had bad effect on To-
cal sentiment, as II was supposed to pre-
sage some unfavorable developments at
the points where il originated. Private
cables minated, however, that anxiety
over the relations of this country and
Japan prompted the selling. When the
source of this anxiety was sought, il APP
peared that London dispatches published
in New York and cabled back to foreign
points, together with journalistic criti-
cisms of the Pacific cruise of the Ameri-
can warships, published here in connec-
ton with the dispatches, was the ground
for the anxiety abroad and not any first
hand information there of threatening de-
velopments in the matter.
When this roundabout course of the
war scare had been traced, its influence
subsidized and opened the way TO subse-
quent recovery in prices. Continued ten
sion in the money market was restraint
on any demand for stocks. and kept the
market vulnerable so far to attack. The
rate for call loans did not go so high
as yesterday and showed a tendency to
relax from the early high level. This was

cent without regarding the prevailing
rates. Time money rates were higher.
The comparatively low state of the sur
plus reserve shown by last weeks bank
statement. the large absorption of cash
since by the operations of the sub-treas-
ury, and the continued large demands
made by interior banks upon their depos-
its here offer a simple explanation of the
stiffness of the money rate. For the
first time this week, the banks showed a
gain on the days sub-treasury operations.
The result was TO reduce the loss of the
banLs to the sub-treasury since the last
bank statement to about $SO0O,O00 There
is some anxiety TO hear a formal state

The bullish influences at the opening were
higher prices at Liverpool, which were

port business caused increased activity
about the middle of the day. A few min
utes before the close IL was announced
that exports for the day would exceed
200 boatloads. Small receipts at Kansas
