PROMPT ACTION
 SAVES THE MARKET Sum of S25,OOO,O0O Is Sup
 piled for Call Loans LIQUIDATION IS FORGED
Stock Market Opens With Confidence on Previous Days Action By Bank CTS, But Weakness Is Shown
 and Finally Overcome.

New York October 2A-The cheerful spirit in which operations began at the stock exchange today had given place to conditions that were fast slipping into Generalization, when, in the nick of time, s25, ,000Oo0 were sent into the stock ex- change to lend on call under the auspices of the man who has been the directing force in shaping the measures of saliva tion from the critical position which had arisen. This brought prompt relief from a tension that had grown up in the stock market. owing to the dearth of money for loans on call. Such supplies as were sent in proving inadequate to the re- quirements of hard pressed holders of securities and heavy sacrifices were being made to procure funds Forced liquida- ton at various points had been in evi- dence at various points in the list all day, one or two stocks running off even at the opening, when the general ten dency was a buoyant rise, due to relief and satisfaction over the measures an nounced over night for protecting the financial position
 As the day progressed persons stand ing obligated for loans at the stock ex change found themselves in no enviable position and the brokers in the loan de- pertinent were in large numbers and urgent throughout the day. The selling of securities which was going on was clearly necessitous, and the general air of confidence which began to pervade the banking world was beginning to be re- .t.- volved in holdings of securities. The. heaping up of resources to safeguard the banking position seemed to be aggravat ing the distress of the stock market rather than to relieve it by diverting re- sources from all other purposes to that of fortlfying bank reserves. The $25,00O,- O0O of relief probably saved the market from disaster and the rebound which followed was convulsive.
 The market closed in some confusion after this violent rally, but the tone was strong in the main up to the close, The United States Steel stocks signalized the transformation in the situation by rising buoyantly over last nights level. High grade securities were sold appar- ently to provide means for protection of such other holdings as were totally un- salable. There were not a few in that condition in such market as today.
 In spite of the acute depression of the stock market the feeling at all times was one of encouragement for the hope that the threatened banking crisis had been averted. The suspension of several smaller banking institutions in the city, but far removed from the financial dis trict, did not impair this feeling. Neither did the continued run on the Trust Com

The de- termination of the great powers among the trust companies to stand together and for the protection of the Trust Company of America was regarded as assuring the solution of the difficulty. The un- limited offer of the Secretary of the Treasury of the government facilities to meet the crisis was the powerful CO., operating factor which confirmed the hopes of saving the situation. The stock market itself closed in sudden revu1sion of sentiment from the tone almost of despair into which it had fallen.
