Features Of the Days Dealings in All
Tho Leading Stocks.

portant feature in today's stock market
was the discontinuance of the kind of
liquidation which has kept sentiment
nervous for several days past Reports
re garding the seat of the difficulty has
reached stage of great particularly.
There was some from uncovered shorts
but very little from any other source.
Estimates of the weeks currency mOve-
ment showed SO considerable a tide away
from New York yet as to give warning
OF possible further postpone ment Of
the turn towards improvement in the
position of the banks. From another
point of view. however. the resources
thus supplied by the New York banks
go to strengthen the interior banks to
prepare them for the resumption Of nor
NAL operations now looked for at an
early cate. There is some comment
over the delay in the issuance of the
autumn call of the comptroller of the
currency for reports from the national
banks, the usual period for which is
now passed. There is a growing con-
viction that responses to this call will
disclose a heavy accession of cash hold
serve usually held in New York and
withdrawn for that purpose. Import
ance was attached to the opening of
French sources of supply to the demand
for gold, an important portion of the
days engagement coming from the
Bank of France itself. Rates for call
loans maintained today and the cur
rency premium. while showing some re-
taxation. indicated persisting obstacles
to securing cash for bank checks. A
rise in the price of copper at the metal
exchange was an incident to which
some Importance was attached. The
days dealings were the smallest of the
week.
Bonds were weak. Total sales. par

upon distribution of winter goods. There
is evident in wholesale trade circles an
indisposition to do business for future
periods, and the large numbers Of can
cellations resulting from the past UNI

discussion. In industry the features
are the working out more fully of the
prompt slowing down tendency noted
for for several weeks past, the iron and
steel industry, with it's kindred lines
such as coke and coal. showing quite
