Daily Stock Letter.

copyright 1912 by the New York
Evening Post Col
NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-After sew
face of news which would ordinarily
put stock exchange prices up, the
stock market broke sharply this after
noon. Declines in several of the more
active stocks ran to point or more
and the downward tendency was gen
oral. To this weakness explanations
were current today in Wall street
one that market which will not go
up on favorable news is in shape to
go down; the other, that call money
rates were tightening again. AS a
matter of fact the Wall street money
rate went today above the previous
high figure of the season, the five
per cent touched last April, and Incl
dentally, the daily record of currency
shipped out by the New York banks
through the sub-treasury showed the
out-go for the week to date to have
exceeded 100000, which is above
last week, though below the two
weeks preceding Naturally, this
would mean deficit in the reserves
of the clearing house banks next
Saturday. unless interior banks lend
here as heavily as they did last week,
or large amounts of loans are shifted
to London. Sterling exchange in fact
declined today rather sharply; We are
likely to hear more of that hereafter.
