CHEAP CALL MONEY IN NEW YORK CITY Midsummer Trading is Very
 Profitable MONEY FROM THE EAST Return Current Will Set In Soon and Will Continue for the Remainder of the Year-Contraction
 Has Set InS
BY w. G. NICHOLAS.

New York, July 27.-Cheap call money gives the cliques and their
 nanlpulative agents chances for fairly profitable midsummer campaign work. It seems altogether probable that the call money rate will remain low until the demand for funds for crop moving purposes begins to be felt. The cur rent of money from the east will start in few weeks and continue with in creasing force during the remainder of the year.
 It therefore becomes necessary for whatever bullish manipulation there may be In the stock market to work its course between now and the first of September. The efforts of the pools to mark up stocks at this time encounter almost no opposition of an influential Kind. The bear leaders are putting up no fight leaving the field entirely in the possession of those who want to see prices established on a higher level. After long season of liquida- tion, when market has been sold to a standstill the bears themselves are will ing to see price uplift in order that they may resume operations to better advantage
 Manifestly there is more in 1t for the bears to begin selling from the high level than from the low level, assum- ing that their reading of general con ditions is right A big market player. one of the half dozen who are credited with having made the greatest killing on the bear side, unburdened himself to the writer after this fashion:
 T closed out my trades several weeks ago and have kept entirely out of the market ever since. I believe that stocks will eventually find a much low CT level, but do not look for an i'm mediate decline. On the contrary. in dications are for advancing prices be- tween now and the middle of Septem- Der. Insiders had to take on more stocks than they really needed when they undertook to check the decline last spring, and they would like to have the public help carry the load through the money stringency of next fall and winter.
 The people who have the surplus stocks control the local money situa- ton and 1t serves tn cir purposes just now to encourage speculation. Even hough they do not get the public in to any great extent they will find 1t fully as easy to distribute their stuff to 10 points higher, and 1t is to that end. they are working.
 l have no objection to tn cir carrying out this programme, and for one will certainly not oppose it. At the same time l do not intend to help them lug any stocks through a sweat. I would not carry 100 shares of speculative long stock overnight; that is how much con- fidence l have, though as I said before, would not be surprised to see the market rise to 10 points within the next few weeks. Tn ere is nothing to prevent, so far as l can see, and there Is every incentive for manipulative ac- tion. We all know who have the stocks and what they are trying to do with them.

of impairment. Maybe after all MT. Hill is not as anxious as some people think to distribute this big surplus. His roads are in need of money and If they cannot get it from the public they might be able to borrow it from their own concealed balances

"A good many people are trying to de- ceive themselves on the industrial busl- ness outlook and the newspapers are full of encouraging interviews and optimistic expressions of opinion from high sources. It is none the less true that the outlook is for a more or less prolonged period of de- pression. Contraction in every quarter has already set in, and l do not see how 1t can be stopped, We seem to have com- menced one of those long sweeps-tidal movements might possibly be a better phrase. Such a movement is overdue
 "On this occasion contraction may net be of as long duration we usually see, but 1t will, in my judgment, be accom- panied by many of the old familiar signs of hard times-armles of men out of em- ployment, strikes. political disturbances, failures and the like.

''The western and southern banks have more than usual demands upon their re- sources for local uses this year That will compel them to draw more heavily than ordinary on their reserves in eastern banks. Fortunately, the necessities for crop moving purposes are not likely to be quite up to normal this year on account of deficiencies in yield, but they will be large enough to absorb every available dollar that can be gotten hold of. The eastern centers will be drawn upon even more extensively than in average years
 Railroads and every other kind of cor poration are standing in line to lick up investment capital as fast as 1t accounts. lates and even if conditions were right otherwise there would be no money to spare to finance extensive speculation in stocks. The one factor which may short en the period of depression and start an- other great business boom is the continu. ously swelling production of gold There appears to be no let up to this and within two or three years we may witness a fur ther important forward step due 10 the extraordinary gold imitation which the commercial nations of the world are pass ing through"
 Market action these days is within nar- row limits. The chapter of accidents has
 
 lation for the advance. but nevertheless prices hold well and the trend seems to be slowly upward for the time being.
 Few are found who believe the move ment to be well grounded, or who look for permanently higher prices. At the same time for reasons mentioned in the forego- ing the prospects rather favor the theory of a further small rise and the profession als are acting in conformity with that idea.
 The markets were unfavorably affected by the North Carolina incident and the strike at the Lake Superior iron mines Some few wideawake traders had ad- vance information about the strike and made a turn in the Steel stocks. The gen eral public, however had no intimation of trouble in that quarter and the news came as an unpleasant surprise Ihe theory entertained thereabouts is that the Steel trust will be in no hurry to settle matters.
 I is in a good condition now to stand strike and will be easily reconclled to tie cessation of production extending through a period of several weeks. strike of long duration would be serious matter. but as this particular trouble has hardly commenced. there is little use to specu- late on remote possibilities
