MARKET IS DULL
AND HESITATING

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-The dull and
ae=itating tone Of the speculative interest
in stocks was unrelieved today. Prices did
not move long in any one direction and
the action was confused by contrary move
ments.
The more prominent issues in which the
greatest part of the market dealings have
been concentrated for a long time were
heavy in tone. At the time special
stocks of a less conspicuous class and in
Guiding some low priced nondividend pay
ers were pushed upward. The immediate
condition of the local money market was
not such as to force liquidation. as the
banks were not actually calling loans. In
fact supplies of loanable funds were
somewhat more liberal. It was argued that
these funds were supplied by former largo
holders of stocks, who had been selling out
at q profitable level of prices recently pre-
vsiling and were lending the money on
account of the prevailing attractive in
terest rates. The sustained strength of
the foreign exchange market this week
continued today, the private discount rate
in London today rose to above the official
discount rate established last week and it
was taken for granted that tomorrow
would see further rise in the Bank Of
England official discount rate, probably
one-half per cent, and possibly by an
other full / per cent
In this country the exchange at Chi
cago moved against New York again and
2 resumption of interior demands for cur
rency was looked for The publication of
the figures of the country's foreign trade
for September showed further large in
crease in value Of imports, which served to
reduce the trade balance again in favor
of this country and thus TO help to explain
the strength in the foreign exchange mar
ket and the lack of an expected supply of
exchange to provide for remittance in
payment of maturing loans abroad. re-
port of a contemplated issue of new Chi
cagO and Northwestern stocks was greeted
with sharp decline in that stock.
Bonds of the international pump COM
pany were offered both here and in for
eign markets. The placing of new Amer
lean issues abroad suggested another phase
of the question of securing new capital in
way that might operate as a substi-
tution or funding of temporary borrowings
from foreigners and thus relieve the imme-
date obligation to repay them.
Bonds we're heavy. Total sales (par
value), SIS, $40, 900.

of renewal of the strong milling demand in the
northwest which yesterday apparently had
reached its height. An advance in cash wheat
in the northwest helped TO counteract the effect
of the falling off in the cash wheat figures in
fiom the northwest also strengthened the market.
December spread over range of 1l4c. For-
eign cables were bearish new crops of Russian
and Argentine wheat being freely offered abroad.
