UNCERTAINTY IN
WALL STREET

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-The struggle to
maintain prices of stocks met with poor
success today, although the effect on the
market was seen in the constant Auctua-
tions, which kept alive the spirit of un-
certainty in the speculation throughout the
day. Early prices generally were higher
and after the first relapse there were num-
erous renewals of the attempts to turn the
course of prices upward.
Publications Of the preliminary estimates
Of the weeks current movement disclosed
so heavy an inroad cash resources Of
the banks as TO threaten deficit in the
legal reserve, unless the position has been
conserved by drastic reduction of deposit
liabilities through loan contractions. The
idea that deposits of cash expanded by
visitors to the Hudson.Fulton celebration
might have q belated effect on the bank
statement fotnd no corroboration in the es-
Inmates by the banks themselves.
The express movement in the interior
seems to have been at the expense of New
York TO the extent of upward of 81, 600 900
and the subtreasury absorption has taken
up s4.Se2, 600 without counting $4,000, 900
deposits with that institution today for
telegraphic transfer to San Francisco and
shipment to Japan. This transaction is on
London orders, for meeting London indebt-
edness to japan, but is significant of Lon
don's command of credits here to enable
bankers to make the transaction.
The accumulation Of the required l5 per
cent reserve by the trust companies was not
without effect on money rates in New
York, even during the lethargic money
markets Of the period of depression. The
rise in call loans TO 4ia per cent for
brief interval in the third week of Decem-
Der of last year was attributed to prepsr-
atoms of the trust companies for hnl
statement of the cash reserves.
There was an expectation in Wall street
today that the United States treasury
would come into the money market soon
with treasury notes to make good deh-
ciencies in the revenues.
The government crop report was some
what disappointing on corn, but considered
good on spring wheat It was of little
effect on stocks, however, which rallied
but slightly from the lowest prices.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, s5,575. 900.
United States bonds were unchanged on
call.
