CALL MONEY LOWER
Change for the Better Seen
in Wall Street.
CLOUD IS BEING DISSIPATED
Early Sales Due 10 Refusal of Banks
TO Advance Money for Further
Margins, but Reaction soon Fol-
lows and List Grows Stronger.
Firm UndertOne In the Afternoon.

New York, Oct. 30-A reduction in the
rate on call loans on the stock exchange
to-day 10 such figures that all borrowers
on acceptable collateral had no difficulty
in supplying their necessities for funds
accompanied with cessation Of that
forced liquidation of stocks, which was
the pronounced feature of the market
yesterday, wrought a very decided change
to-day in speculative sentiment 10 the
financial district.
The better feeling was also helped in
some degree by the news of the definite
steps taken by the Union Pacific manage
ment toward a distribution 10 their stock
holders Of the securities Of other railway
organization held as assets in the COM
pany's treasury.
Difficult to Get Money.
OF these three considerations the first
was. of course, the most important as a
stock market factor. For several days
past the one dominant influence in trans
actions in the market has been the doubt
OF commission firms and others who
were compelled 20 make daily borrowings
on stock exchange collateral, as TO
whether they would be enabled to pro-
cure such sums Of money as were needed
in order 10 make themselves solvent at
the close OF the official hours of busi-
aeSs.
Accommodation Of this kind has been
sparsely offered at any price, and such
borrowings as were effected have usual
ly taken place in the last hour of stock
exchange business, amid scenes Of mar
ket Generalization. Under such circum-
stances practically all commission houses
have refused 10 buy securities except for
cash
But early in the stock exchange session
to-day money was offered I'm abundance
at % per cent, without finding takers.
The rate was speedily lowered to 50. and
then 80 per cent. and by the last hour an
abundance could be freely obtained at
sales varying from 20 10 per cent II
was thus evident that while the money
Stringency was still In evidence. there
was no longer the wellnigh absolute
dearth of money that has recently pre-
vailed.
Early Pressure shown.
This. IL is needless TO say. means the
dissipation of the blackest cloud that has
recently hovered over Wall street. There
appeared early in the day 10 be a con
tnuation Of pressure upon the market.
caused by the peremptory sales Of stocks
under an absolute refusal of the banks
to lend money further in certain direc-
tions, that was present throughout the
market on the day before; but it seemed
as if such liquidation had been COM
pleted.
At any rate, the market at this time
became dull and when the lower money
rates came TO be quoted, prices rallied
with extreme ease under the leadership
of The Union Pacific common.
The market in the afternoon displayed
irmer and more healthy undertone than
it has done At any time for week past,
and the heads of most stock exchange
firms went home with feeling OF relief
that has been "a stranger % them for an
even longer period.

DEER CRAZE ON COMMON.

Shelby. Law. B. cuppy. owner Of
. herd Of 20 pet deer made NO pro-
vision when he died for the care Of
the animals. His heirs since have
permitted the deer to run at large and
to make their own living They have
multiplied rapidly and the herd now
numbers 100. 1t is now q common
sight In Shelby to see deer grazing ON
the commons and strolling leisureiy
about the streets. attracting the at
tention Of strangers by their graceful
antics. But the people of Shelby and
vicinity have ceased to look with
favor upon the graceful and fleet-
footed animals. They complain that
the deer raid their orchards and gar
dens in the summer and their straw
stacks In the winter.
The law forbids the killing of the
animals and all the indignant farmers
and householders can do is to .'shoo"
them on their grounds. 1t is said to
be the purpose Of people living here
to petition the legislature either to
permit the slaughter of the animals
or to make some other disposition Of
them. as they allege that in their pres
ent protected and prolific state they
will soon overrun the country.

At the present time the war depart,
ment onicials have only the vaguest
idea Of the total exper lltures involved
in supporting the Phil ppines. At the
recent session OF congress statements
were made on the floor of the house
and senate that the cost Of the Asiatic
possessions ran from 500 ,000. 900 to
$6O0, 0O0. 900 year. 1t was asserted
that the expense account was rolling
up higher and higher. instead Of d.
minishing. and that the only proper
solution Of the difficulty was to get
rid Of the islands by turning them
over to another keeper.
Now the president hus given the
word that the facts must be forthcom-
Ing. The work Of digging out the fig-
ures has been intrusted to Gen. Clar-
