STOCK MARKET
INSHARP RISE
Speedy Recovery Follows
Early Decline On
Money Ruling.
By BRoADAN WALL.

New York, Oct 25.-WalI Street
talked of money all through todsy's
session and decided that the order of
the money committee was really con-
structive market wise.
In the morning some traders who
jumped TO hasty. conclusions sold
their stocks, with the result that
nearly all issues showed sharp de-
elines, 1t was less than an hour be-
fore good buying for the account OF
thoughtful investors began to make
its influence felt. The market re-
covered rather sharply. The close
was steady, The government state
ment showed about zoo. 600 bales less
cotton ginned than the Street had
expected, with the result that there
was an advance In cotton prices of
about So bale.
Washington Protests. - :
Money rates were not materially
changed, the reason being that the
new order which requires 20 per cent
margin at the banks does not go into
effect until November 4, and that
most houses are SO strongly fortified
with securities that 1t will make no
difference when 1t does-with the
really good houses. Careful investi-
CATION discloses the fact that most
Of the important houses already have
about the 80 per cent required. The
new ruling will hit only weak houses.
The result Of the order will be TO
drive speculative trade into the
strong houses, OF which there are
enough to handle the market. Most
OF market activity recently has been
in such houses anyhow.
1t developed at the meeting OF the
money committee that some mem
bers Of that committee had been
rather liberal with loans to COM
mission houses. In no case had
there been any lending on narrow
margins but IL was said that in
some instances commission houses
had received assurances of suffi-
cient capital TO put through mar
ket deals. The banks had consid-
cred this a perfectly proper thing
to do. but when remonstrance came
from Washington. the bankers in
question found it difflcult to be suf-
fciently severe. That is what
caused the numerous conferences
before final action was taken by the
committee. That is what caused
the committee to issue an order
that is already being obeyed.
No Need Fer Fear.
In view OF the careful scrutiny
that is being given to the money
market and the scientific and far
reaching influences that are being
brought to bear on it. the country
need have no fear OF serious money
troubles. 1t Is just as well that so
many precautions are being taken
for the speculative position of the
stock market is SO strong that only
slight encouragement is needed to
start a wild advance in stocks.
Low priced railroad stocks were
favorites today in the converse
tional trading although not much
evidence OF their preferred position
was seen on the ticker.
Crucible Steel is being accumu-
lated in big way by banking in
terests that in the past have done
important things with this stock.
Announcement that General Mot
ors will manufacture electric re-
frigerators is a hint in regard to
the by-products possible in many
great industries.
