STOCK MARKET
SHOWS APATHY
RESPONSE TO GENERAL LIST
OF SHARES LANGUlD
RESTRICTION OF CREDITS IN
BANKS SEEMS IMPERATIVE
Hartman Paoifics Move Upward Again
in Compliance with Various Re-
ports of Future Policy
for Roads
tBy Associated Press.l

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-The stock
market narrowed to a professional rut
today Efforts were made to Keep
speculative interest alive by concen-
trating operations in one or two of the
usual speculative favorites and a rev
novelties but the response of the gen.
eral list was languid.
While banking opinion does not look
for any stringency this fall the posi-
ton of the New York banking reserve
shows that a restriction OF credltS Is
imperative to conform to the heaVy
drain now making on the cash hold
ings Of the banks. The $4,244,0O0 with
drawn from the banks by subtreasury
operations since the last weekly bank
statement was made up compares with
an actual surplus reserve at that time
of less than $4,000,0OO.
The interior has continued to draw
on New York in the meantime In ad-
dition to the subj reasury requirements.
The low level of merchandise exports
for many months past has combined
with very large imports to leave the
international exchange market With
out the usual material for covering 1or-
eign remittances. In the home imam
cial markets the investment appetite
for securities has been the occasion of
complaint by bankers and syndicates
and various projected new issues have
been delayed.
In some of these a large foreign par
ticipation was expected, which has
been relied on to meet a part of the
maturing Indebtedness of New York to
foreign money markets.
The banks today are inclined to ad-
vance call loan rates in concert, and
the making of 8 per cent rate by one
or two of the largest institutions makes
an example that was generally followed
with as high rate as has been touched
at any time since the early part of
1908, when money plethora was setting
in after the subsidence of the panic of
1907.
The Hartman Pacifics moved up
ward again in compliance with varying
reports of the future plans of Harri-
mans successors. The strength of the
coppers was attributed In London to
speculative covering operations. 1t
was accompanied by a rise in the Elec-
trical Equipment company shares.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par
value, $4,10O,000 United States bonds
were unchanged on call.

CHICAGO, Sept. H-Wheat scored very
s,ibstantial advance today, but failed to re-
tain 1t ALL There was much realizing by longs
much influential selling for local and north
western account and some disposition among
professional Spectators to assume that per
hans the buving had been overdone for the
moment. The new buying by fairly large con-
tingent of the professional traders, however

was conceded to have important bearing

northwest also had a material influence on
values.

the trade has been light. Country offerings
we're liberal, and eastern demand lighter than
yesterday. -,
In oats further buying OF December ana sen
Inc of September by the leading longs was a
good part Of the business today. Cash oats
