MONEY RATES
ARE GOING UP

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-The sluggish
current in the price movement in the stock
market today shifted in consonance with
the money situation. Supplies Of money
at per cent and below gave new conf
dence that the banks are within their re-
serve limit.
Preliminary estimates of the weeks cur
rency movement and announcements of
further engagements of gold for export
renewed inactivity and the call money
rate stifened. The demand for call
money has been much larger than was
supposed, the balance against New York
on the express movement running appar-
emily to nearly $4,5oo, 900.
Gold shipments to Brazil have taken
S4,s54, 900, thus running the cash loss on
the known movements of money up to
nearly $40, 900, 600, one Of the largest
cash losses for one week in the year.
The date of shipment of the million and
half dollar gold engagement today for
South America on London is not known
yet.
Authorities differed as to offerings of
money from foreign sources The special
demand for cash from Chicago is con-
nected with the execution of an early call
from ths comptroller Of the currency.
The imminenoe of this call found some of
the Chicago banks below the reserve lin
its. good portion Of the New York
clearing house banks were shown to be
below the 25 per cent reserve limit, and
their necessity for reouperation is a factor
in the money market position. The rise
in money rates applied not only to call
loans, but to time loans, and the harden
ing tendency extended from the shorter to
some of the longer periods.
feature Of the narrow speculation was
its diversion to low priced stocks, both in
dustrisls and railroads.
The limited resources in the money mar
ket make operations in these low priced
issues more feasible in consequence of the
smaller sums required by commission
houses for holding them for customers.
The sharp falling off in the weeks ex-
ports Of copper, compared with several
weeks past gave an impression of wan
ing of the reported demand for that metal,
although the price advanced again In Lon
don today

when call loans rose to per cent and
then hardened when the rate eased of.

iron and steel situation has been followed by the
appearance of several important contracts. and
II is estimated that new projects contemplated
viii call for 100000 tons of steel. The
break and subsequent recovery in the cotton mar
kets served to make buyers more cautious but
at the same time led manufacturers OF cotton
goods to be more free in discussing terms of
contracts. Prices are being adjusted steadily to
the higher costs of production. Higher costs on
ginghams openings of knit goods for the fall
season, the-preliminary showings of mems wear
samples for fall and continuance Of good re-
ports from jobbing and retail centers were some
of the important features of the dry goods week.
Footwear conditions continue to improve, and
trade in all varieties is more general and of
larger volume. There is a good trade in leather
and prices rule very firm, especially union and

trading of late has been less active.
