In the World of Finance and Trade
Calling OF LOANS
BREAKS N. Y. MARKET
Money Sweeps Downward and
Many Securities Follow Suit.

New York. July 16.-It was not fear
of peace that broke the stock mar
Eet today. but the calling of loans
by the banks. On the surface there
was some excuse for marking up all
loans to per cent, and of industrials
to SO per cent. Call money went up
to 10 per cent in the afternoon.
The market opened strong and for a
short time buying was of the best
character with nearly all issues ad-
YancinS above the closing of Satur-
DAY. When the money market opened
1t wavered for few minutes and then
swept downward until Steel had lost
four points, Bethlehem B., Crucible
and Utah Copper five each, Republic
Baldwin and Smelters, three, Alcohol
seven, and a score of others as much
as two po.ItS. The rails remained
nrm, most Of them showing net ad-
vances in the midst of the smash and
Yielding only fraCtiOnally from their
highest of the morning.
Prominent among the active rails
were Norfolk and Western. Northern
Pacific, Great Northern. New York
Central and Union Pacific. The Amer
lean Zinc deferred the dividend on
the stock and the price promptly
broke nearly four points. The reason
given for this action was that the
government had not indicated what
price would be paid for the metal.
