FINANCIAL OUTLOOK BETTER
stock Market More steady and the
Money Market Decidedly
Easier.

NEW YORK, Sept. "a more cheerful
feeling over the financial outlook has
emerged through the clouds which re-
mained over the prospect as revealed In
the movement of the stock market. These
clouds were gathered for the most part
over the metal Industries. especially cop
per, and even there the movement in the
securities OF that group has indicated
conviction that the unfavorable condi-
tlons had been adequately discounted and
that a better condition might be forth
coming. The price Of copper has made a
further decline and plans for radical
curtailment of output have been officially
announced by the great producers. The
demand for the metal at the reduced price
has not yet been emphatic. but hopes are
expressed that the level of stability In
tho trade is near and that the withheld
demand will develop and the market right
itself.
Fears that a similar experience awaited
the iron and steel trade have grown less
acute and points OF difference in the con-
dition in the two trades have been recog
nized. such as the less degree Of imitation
which has occurred in the iron trade. A
reviving demand for iron is already re-
ported and the leading authority in that
trade expresses the opinion that 1T is
clear that. for the time being, the market
has reached its level
The most important factor in the i'm

CURED is the betterment in the money
market and its prospect With the pass
ing of the special syndicate requirements
of the New York City bond sale and sub
scription to the Union Pacific convertible
bonds the money market has shown an
easier tendency, which has applied not
only TO call loans but the time loan
branch. The feature Of the money market,
however, is the unusually large offerings
OF mercantile paper and the continued
high rates commanded by high grades.
This is the reflection of the sustained
activity in general trade, as reported to
the mercantile agencies from various parts
OF the country. The condition OF the
banks of the country reflects the same
conditions to large extent, the fact
being revealed by the latest report OF the
national banks TO the controller Of the cur
rency. 1t 4
o., 1t is subject for surprise that. during a
period characterized by such drastic liqui-
dalton in the securities market there has
occurred nevertheless, an expansion in
loans of the ational banks OF $744o,2 III

year, while the comparison with Septem-
ber of last year shows a loan increase

loans OF these institutions on August "a
