Fair Public Interest.

In a way, the very great cautiousness
and conservatism of commission houses
in their advice to customers offsets the
fact that their books show a fairly ex-
tended public interest in the market.
Money conditions continue to work very
gradually in the direction Of that rela-
tive ease which they had been expected
10 show at the beginning of this week.
The call loan rate ruled around ) per
cent, but it was not apparent that any
larger supplies of credit were available
for Wall street purposes than Monday.
Perhaps the fact that Monday was per-

market, but suggestions to that effect re-
SembIe all of the others which have been
offered to account for the contracted call

Resumption of Selling.

There was a resumption of selling in
the early dealings which Wall street, in
accordance with the theory it has adopt
ed. regarded as the completion of prepa-
rations in anticipation of the action of
the stock exchange governors this after
pointed to investigate the recent Rock
Island furry.
There is no question that official ter
mination of this episode has, in Wall
street parlance, been hanging over the
market: but the Indications seem to be
that even with 1t out of the way the
stock market following was not ex-
pecting an immediate resumption of bull
