NEW YORK, September 6.-The threat

II to - points net higher shortly after
the call. The advance was checked at
this level however by renewed liquida-
ton from Wall street. southern and
western houses, and prices broke to a
net loss Of 3 to 10 points during the mid
die of the morning. Spot house buying
and renewed covering caused a late rally.

Reflect No Fears.

Operations in the money market do not
reflect fears Of material variations be-
tween September 1 and the end of the
year. Borrowers have small trouble in
making comfortable arrangements three
to five months ahead. Prospective gold
movements are carefully estimated and
the action of international exchange
given fullest consideration. There Is
nothing in this field of speculation to
greatly disturb financiers or brokers.
Irregularity and confusion are the rul-
ing characteristics of the stock market,
but the net changes in prices are neither
revolutionary nor sensational. quotations
receded somewhat from the high range
established while the process was on for
the REIMBURSEMENT of the Union Southern
Pacific deal, but speculative activity has
at no time been volcanic or decisive. so
far as can be learned no great indivld-
ual fortunes have been made or lost in
the shuttle: there is still plenty OF room
for speculative turns before the finish
is tolled, and only a sure enough prophet
can correctly foretell results. No prophet
in whom the street reposes confidence has
vet appeared.
