ed in several specialties Fluctua-
tons were small and there was no re-
lief from the exceptional dullness of
earlier days of the week. High mon

cent quickly advanced to II ger cent,

compared with eight per cent yester-
day Copper shares were helped by

strength but the advance was not
sustained and a successful attack
was made on beet sugar, which drop
ned 5 points Rubber also lost
ground and the active list went back
to level with yesterdays close.
Bonds We're steady.
The market closed heavy. Notwith'
standing the collapse in call money
rates to 10 per cent has went on
steadily and Union Pacific, Steel and
Amalgamated Copper sold ! IL points
under yesterdays closings. The
movement in other issues was not
good and general offerings were
small.

days high quotation In the early
afternoon as low as 10 per cent was
quoted, although out of town banks

placing money here at a higher rate.
The demand was light, however, and
no recurrence of the stringency of
several weeks ago, wnen the loans
touched 20 per cent, is looked for
Industrial money rates fell to

dam With the clay and leaves are
eticks ard other buoyant matter, the
whole covered with luXuriant lush
grass.
The islands are at times so thick
that launch cannot make its way
through them, and they are an OBJ
stacle or inconvenience to steamships.

towing them to the spiilway, where
they float over the dam. No trouble is
anticipated after the sluice gates are
installed as the aperture between the
piers on the dam crest will be f..
