RATES FOR CALL
MONEY STIFFEN
DEMAND FOR LOANS LARGER
THAN SUPPOSED
WALL STREETS CASH LOSS FOR
WEEK BIGGEST FOR YEAR
Feature of the Narrow Speculation In
the Market Was lts Diver
sion to Low Priced
Stocks
tBy Associated Press.l

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-The sluggish
current in the price movement of the
stock market today shifted in con-
solaance with the money situation. Sup
plies of money at 5 per cent and be-
low gave confidence the banks are
within their reserve limit.
Preliminary estimates Of the weeks
currency movement and announce
ments of further engagements of gold
for export renewed inactivity and call
money rates stiffened.
The demand for call money has been
much larger than was supposed, the
balance against New York on the ex-
press movement running apparently to
nearly $4,500,00O.
Gold shipments to Brazil have taken
4,S54000, thus running the cash loss
on the known movements of money up
TO nearly 100000, one of the largest
cash losses for one week In the year.
Authorities differed as to offerings Of
money from foreign sources. The spe-
cial demand for cash from Chicago is
connected with the expectation of an
early call from the comptroller Of the
currency. The rise in money rates ap-
piled not only to call loans, but to time
loans and the hardening tendency ex-
tended from the shorter to some OF
the longer periods.
\ feature of the narrow speculation
was its diversion to low-priced stocks
both industrlals and railroads. The
limited resources in the money market
make operations in these low-priced is
sues fore feasible in consequence of
the smaller sums required by commits
sion houses for holding them for GUS
toners The sharp falling off in the
weeks exports Of copper compared
with several weeks past gave an i'm
preston of a waning of the reported
demand for that metal, although the
price was advanced again in oLndon
today.
' Stocks fell to the lowest of the day
when call loans rose to per cent
and then hardened when the rate
eased off.
