FOREIGN MONEY
RATES ADVANCE

NEW YORK, Sept. 2e.-The
stock market today gave more
signs of life and took on a sem
blance of breadth and strength.
The increased congestion of the
dealings in Reading as the day
progressed, however, lessened the
appearance of breadth and re-
stored that of narrow profession
aliSm, which has been the fault or
the market for some time sales
of Reading made up more than 40
per cent Of the days aggregate
transactions
London joined literally in the
buying and there was a substan-
tial demand also from uncovered
shorts.
The conspicuous strength of
Reading at first was made an ar
gument in favor of the general
advance. but later became the
ground for some doubt and heslta-
tion over the general movement,
as the professional operations en-
crossed an increasing proportion
Of the whole market.
The hardening tendency or
money rates was ignored in the
conviction that the causes for 1t
were temporary and lay in the
preparations for the October set
Elements. In Berlin especially the
necessities of these payments loom
large. The advance in the official
rate Of the Imperial bank of Ger
many. while predicted, was made
full ! per cent to ; per cent, in
stead of the expected Az per cent
The private discount rate rose
only IS per cent to 4 Is per cent,
but the private discount rate in
London made a sharp response,
the rate for three months bills
getting above the official bank
rate. An advance in the bank
rate Thursday under these cir
cumstances would not cause sur
prise
The placing in London of $500
600 of Union Pacific refunding
bonds neutralized the influence of
the London money market on the
stock market here.
Bonds were strong. Total sales
par value 50 1862, 900.
United States bonds were un-
changed in the bid price on call.
NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-E. f.
Hutton & Co.'S private wire says:
The advance in today's stock
with the advance in the German
bank rate to per cent and a loss
since last Friday by our own
banks of $500, 600 to the treas
ury. However, as the lea ding
bankers here have the bulk of the
floating supply of securities, es-
pecially all of the surplus money,
it is not a difficult matter to ad-
vance the first grade of stocks.
We see nothing bearish in the
security situation, however. and
every chance of materially higher
prices later in the year"
