RATES HARDEN
ON TIME LOANS

NEW YORK, Oct. without
essential change in the views en-
tertained in stock market circles
of the prospects for values, there
developed today NOTE of con-
servatism in pursuing operations
The motives for the changed
attitude of the speculation were
found largely in technical con-
siderations. Operators said that
the advance was in danger or
overrunning the rate OF the I'M
proVement discerned in financial
and business affairs. Strength In
the coppers, electricals and HaW-
ley stocks sustained the later
market today.
The reactionary tone was con-
nected with further consideration
of one or two factors that seemed
to be ignored yesterday, such as
the weaker bank position and the
cut in prices of pipe. The knowi-
edge that specifications on con-
tracts in the steel trade in Sep
tember were larger than new or
der business points to another re-
dUction in the volume of untitled
orders on hand October l, in the
report TO be made next week by
the United States steel corpora
ton. A decline in the quarters
net earnings and poor prospect
for the new quarters earnings
will he the differences from such
showing. There was a constant
supply of United States steel for
sale today from this cause.
The indifference of the call loan
rate 10 the shrinkage in the sup
ply of bank credits loses some of
its effect in face of the decided
hardening of the rates demanded
for time loans. Discount rates in
London hold firm, but the discount
a n
the troubled labor situation in
Germany.
The show Of strength in the
copper industrials grew out of the
higher price for the metal in the
London market. The strength of
cotton and corn kept opinion open
on the crop results.
Bonds were irregular. Total
sales (par value). S1.950,0o0-
United States bonds were un-
changed on call.
NEW YORK. Oct. 4.-E. F. Hut
ton & Co.'S wire says: There
was a further reaetionary tend
ency in the early operations in the
stock market today and the set
back was what might be termed
manipulative drive TO discourage
the. traders. There was no tan
gible reason. however, or nothing
in the matter of news to warrant
a decline other than to check pub
lie speculation Copper metal was
stronger on the curtailment in
production. and as a result of the
better feelings in this industry
copper shares We're strong fea-
lures in late dealings.
Steel common appeared TO get
excellent support at 20 or below,
and the taking of 5000 tons of
rails by the Atlantic coast line
looked like the beginning of a
large and active business in the
coming fall months in this in
dustry.
A number of specialties were
strong features in today's mar
ket with the electric stocks as
features and. while there was no
specific news on these securities.
the buying was believed to be
based on the coming revival of in
dustry in these lines
The stock market closed well
and with every indication of con-
tinued betterment in the future"
