WALL STREET NOTES.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The stock mar
ket has been greatly unsettled through
out the week. the unfavorbaie money
market developments conflicting as an
influence with the brilliant trade pros.
poets, especially in the iron and steel
industry. The drastic action by the
Bank Of England in its third successive
advance in the two weeks period of the
officials discountira rate with the declared
determination to protect London n
ing from further inroads
affected the markets of the whole world.
The large responsibility of American Dor
rowing for the course of london money
market, which was asserted at that CEN
tire, made American securities especially,
sensitive. Money rates in New York
were but moderately affected, but for
eign exchange rates rushed upwards.
towards the gold export level.
Uptown Sentiment-Lower prices were
expected during the early trading to-
day, but not a few uptown spectators
predicted hat before the close of the
two hours session a rally would set IN
which would materially reduce the
losses for the day. IL not practically
wipe them out. While the smaller spec
ulators are a~pprehensive of the effect
upon the stock market of the trend OF
the European money market, the larger
interests dc not look for a big break
in the prices of stock exchange securi-
ties. They believe that there will be
sharp reactions at frequent Intervals,
but maintain that no one Is justified IN
predicting a genuine bear market In
the near future.
The market in London for American
stocks this fnorning was decidedly
weak. The losses range from " TO 12
points in the leading stocks. While the
money situation in this market is like
ly to become more acute next week,
brokers believe that the ~discounting
process will have been completed by the
close of today's market. Influential
operators are not pessiinistlc
The short interest is very much en-
There is plenty of money III
the country's banks. and while brokers
that there will be a decline oil
from 2 to 8 points they think the situa-
ton will right itself very quickly, and
that the market will resume its upward
course. Stocks have come on the mar
ket within the last few days, especially
Steel AT the moment there is
nothing In sight on which to advise
of stock, but at the same lime
It is unwise, brokers say, to become
very bearish. In other words "sit
