INTEREST RATE
GOING HIGHER

NEW YORK, May 5.-The stock market
today showed the waning influence Of the
commodities clause decision in some sub
sidence of activity in mixed tone in the
speculation. There were elements of
strength, but they were diverted TO the
less influential quarters of the list except
for a late advance in Southern Pacific.
In the usual market leaders, Reading and
Union Pacific, the fact soon appeared that
effective selling orders were placed in the
market to meet any further advance in
prices. The effect was TO dampen the en-
thusissm Of the bull party and to prompt
to greater caution in the extension of their
operations. The crop outlook came in for
renewed consideration. Advices from va
rous sources continued TO show the delay
in seeding and in growth caused by the UNI
seasonAbIe weather. The desire was ex-
pressed among stock market operators to
see the complexion Of the government crop
report to be issued on Friday TO help in
estimating the prospect.
The bankers are coming TO feel that
they are entitled to better interest rates
for their money, and time money brokers
report that the supply Of funds for that
purpose has been diminished in the last
few days by the practical withdrawal from
the market of some of the important
banks and trust companies. This action is
based on the assumption that any effective
revival Of trade such as is now hoped for,
must improve the demand for banking
facilities The disposition to hold funds in
hand for this purpose warrants hopeful
view of the trade outlook.
The result of the days operations was
practically q drawn battle between the
contending forces in the speculation.
