tBy Associated Press.)

4 NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-The specu'
,ation in stocks showed clear evidence
TODAY OF coming 10 a holding pace
following the rather feverish hnctua-
lions Of the late markets. This was
a consequence of persisting uncertain.
N on account OF the money outlook
In spite OF the relief afforded by yes
terday's developments over the I'M
mediate prospect.
Il was a growing impression IN
stock circles that while the relief
might be counted On TO check the ur-
gent pressure which the liquidation
Was beginning 20 show, II would not
he discreet TO attempt renewal OF
important operations for the advance.
The approach of the United States
Steel quarterly meeting also was cal
culated TO have some repressiye ell
feet on the speculation owing to the
question which has ari zen as to the
response the market is likely 10 make
to the most favorable influences which
might emanatc from that meeting.
The Increasing ives kness was due to
this cause.
The money market Itself maintain
ed the somewhat easier conditions
which followed the decision yester-
day of the directors of the Imperial
Bank OF Germany to leave the mimi
mum discount rate OF that institu-
slon undisturbed.
There was u suspicion prevalent
that the selling movement last week
represented an extensive decrease OF
