MONEY CENTERS
HESlTATING TONE UNRELIEVED
ON WALL STREET
SPECIAL STOCKS GIVEN PUSH
TOWARD THE TOP
Banks Are Not Actually Calling
Loans and Funds Are De-
cared to Be More
Available
TBy Associated Press. !

NEW YORK, Oct. 20-The dull and
hesitating tone of the speculative in
terest in stocks was unrelieved today.
Prices did not move long in any one
direction, and the action was confused
by contrary movements.
The more prominent issues in which
the greatest part of the market deal
ings have been concentrated for a Ions
time were heavy in tone. At the same
time, special stocks of a less conspicu-
GUS class and including some low
priced, nOn-diVidend-payer were
pushed upwards.
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 some
what more liberal. 1t was argued that
these funds were supplied by former
large holders Of stocks, who had been
selling out at a profitable level of
prices recently prevailing, and were
landing the money on account of the
prevailing attractive interest rates.
The sustained strength Of the for
eign exchange markets continued to-
day the private discount rate estab
lished last week, and it was taken for
granted that tomorrow would see a
further rise in the Bank of England
official discount rate, probably by an
other full 1 per cent
In this country the exchange at Chi
cago moved against New York again,
and a resumption of interior demands
for currency was looked for The pub
lication of the figures of the country's
foreign trade for September showed a
further large, increase in value of i'm
ports which served to reduce the trade
balance again in favor of this coun-
try 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.
A report of a contemplated issue of
new Chicago & Northwestern stocks
was greeted with a sharp decline in
that stock. Bonds of the Internation-
al Pump company were offered both
here and in foreign markets. The
placing Of new American issues abroad
suggested another phase of the ques-
tion of securing new capital in a way
that might operate as a substitution
or funding.
OF temporary borrowings from for
eigners and thus relieve the imme-
diate obligation to repay them.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par
value, $3,54O00O. United States bonds,
rs, declined 1s and the As registered
a per cent on call in the bid price.

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-The disposition is to
reduce crop estimates to figures that would
have been considered ridiculous earlier in the
year, for. while it is possible for famine
and famine prices to be experienced later in
the season even If the crop should be not
more than Il 500, 900 bales the disposition now
is to place the years probable production from
cnly TO- OO0 900 to 1O5OO 900 bales. It is believed
that considerable damage has been done to
late cotton by the late freeze in sections OF
the northern half of the cotton zone, and the
trade cannot afford to lose a single bale, and
the first indication of an unfavorable turn
in weather conditions throws traders into
frenzy Washington reported another tropical
storm moving toward Yucatan channel this
morning, while cold wave formations were
noted in the northwest The market has taken
tremendous liquidation with but slight
effect on prices during the past few days and
looks like going higher with only limited and
temporary setbacks.
