WALL STREET TRADING
SLOWS DOWN GREATLY
Efforts of Commission Houses, High
er Rates for Money Over Reserve
Board Warning Effective.
General Weakness in Values Follows
Opening, With Recoveries.
List Weak at the Close.

NEW YORK, November 2S.-The ef-
forts of Wall street houses and their
representatives all around the coun-
try are having an effect. in the lessen
ing of speculation. in causing lower
price levels. and this movement has
been furthered by calls for margin and
a higher rate on call money.
To still further emphasize the dan
gers Of overexpansion. the federal re-
serve board issued public warnings. di-
rected more or less at unsecured cred
its. but in a general way calling at
tention to the fact that the present in
fated values contain an element Of
danger.
For few minutes after the opening
traders acted as II they would again
ignore all Influences making for con-
servatism and some higher prices were
established. but very quickly recessions
developed. a 5 per cent call rate being
an effective damper, with other infu-
ences.
The war issues were the worst vic
tins, with coppers yielding slowly. but
yielding, steels yielding also slowly and
with speculative issues under some
pressure.

NEW ORLEANS. November 2s-Poor

One fact was made very apparent.
The various efforts made for the bur
pose of decreasing speculation were
effective. for the volume of business
was very much restricted after the
first hour and the feeling on the street
was that the bull market would have
to take rest before making further
movements in the direction of higher
prices.
Coppers. steels and other great in
dustria1 companies have made such
large profits that many investors have
faith IN the future Of the dividends,
and this did much to overcome the
liquidation of speculative holdings

Commission houses and brokers all
ways find high money rates antagon-
isfic to a bull market, for the profits
are in the money rates on the cash fur

commission earned.
All things considered the market did
much better than might be expected. The
liquidation was by no means extensive,
commission houses being surprised by
the tenacity OF customers. and the ltqut-

200. missed clashing by margin of

the Carranza body.
AS the Americans were about to climb
a long sloping hillside force of
mounted Mexfcans dashed over the
brow of the hill, carbines lowered for
action, and yelling. The Mexican ma
tional colors bobbed over the foremost
rank.
Maj. Howe rode to the front of his
own troops, opposite the Mexican line.
The Mexicans charging down the MILL
side were within fifty yards of Howe
and the Americans had their rifles
ready, in case the band proved to be
Villa followers. Howe waved his
Hat and the Mexicans promptly refined
their mounts. Gen. Cayazos advan rsd
and the two officers recognized each
other.
Gen Cavazos said he did not know
that the force behind the hill was an
