ON GOOD NEWS
Prospects Of Higher Call Loan
Rate Dampened Bullish
Speculative Enthusiasm
TRADING LACKED PUSH

New York, Nov. 5.-The New York
Evening Suns closing financial review
0day says:
Todays stock market lacked push
espitc the grist Of good news which
was Forthcoming over the election day
recess. Prices did indeed advance
rather broadly in the first hour or SO,
but thereafter, as fre Icutly happens
when good news is out, there was more
or less profit taking in evidence. This
had the effect of neutralizing gains
although it did not bring any real liqui-
datiou.
The taking of profits was encouraged
by the money situation as well as by
the technical position of the market
itself. Not a few brokerage houses ad-
vsed caution because it was presumed
that higher rates for call loans would
result from the action of the Federal
Reserve Bank in increasing the dis
count rate. If not the cause, the ad-
vance was deemed likely to be utilized
as a pretext for exacting higher money
rates from stock exchange borrowers.

less the restraint imposed by the higher
cost of rediscounting will influence them
to exercise greater discrimination in
that respect This will in all likelihood
bring about a stabilization of the call
rate considerably above the 6 per cent
level for renewals for quite period.
Call loans renewed at 10 per cent for
the second time within the last few
days, and the bulk of accommodation
was put through at that rate. Between

w YORK AND PHILADELPHIA STOCK QUOTA
LOCAL SHARES DROOP FROM
UTTER LACK OF INTEREST
Shading Prices Emphasized Nurrouness OF Days Trading
Market Sharks Giving Investors Considerable Annoyance

The local market, mainly because of
the lack of interest, was inclined TO
droop. Election results were received
with the same satisfaction in local
financial circles as elsewhere, hut every
body was strongly inclined to adhere
TO the same waiting policy, and defer
further activities until the labor situa-
tion becomes more clarified.
This indisposition to trade was re.
6ected not only in the comparatively
small volume of business, but also in
the sagging Of prices all around the
room. What little speculative interest
was manifested virtually centered in
two stocks, United Gas Improvement
and United States Steel. The last
named came in for considerable attcn-
tion in the initial dealings by reason
of its pronounced buoyancy. When the
price crossed 112, new high ground for
the current movement, there was great
enthusiasm manifested in all directions.
The action of United Gas Improve
ment was somewhat confusing. At in
tervals the supply and demand SEEM
ingly were about equally balanced.
There was undisputed evidence of re-
newed dribbling liquidation or CON
tinuation of the feeding out" process.
This, however, was offset in a measure
by the uncovering of numerous under
lying buying orders. With the practical
assurance of the continuance of the
present dividend rate, the current price
is generally regarded as more or less at
tractive from a semi investment view
point.
In all the other local stocks the deal.

ings were more or less OF perfume
tory character, aud the changes did
little else than to emphasize the ex-
treme narrowness of the entire market
outfit. Lake Superior Corporation was
Well sustained, but some disappoint-
ment was made because the stock did
not make better response to the
strength of the entire steel group.
The narrowness of the market was
more strongly indicated in the beaviness
of the recent active high price special
ties. General Asphalt common lost 81
and the preferred 50. Electric Storage
at 144A, dropped to 143.
Numerous complaints are made in the
local financial district against the an
noyance encountered from promoters
and selling agencies of so called cats and
dogs of mining and oil stocks. 1t ap-
pears that a number of these agencies
having Offices in some of the larger down
town buildings have been making a
practice of calling up persons of means
on the telephone and attempting to get
them interested in these worthless Sc
curities. The action of these agents
are not only annoying, but in many in
stances insulting and impudent. Names
are apparently obtained from the blue
book and telephone registers.
Unfortunately, while there is no legal
means of strangling these pests, it will
be we'll for all persons having funds for
investment to consult with brokers or
bankers who are members of the various
stock exchanges and give these silver
tongue telephone orators n wide berth.
The list of legitimate securities is al
together too long and too attractive for
any sensible thinking person to be
caught by these market sharks.

urines by Degas there is evidently
carried over something of the dry psy
chology belonging to his pictorial
studies. He is the inquisitive analyst,
pursuing some recondite movement Of
form and recording 1t for its own sake,
not the inventive master of beauty,
weaving plastic pattern of loyeiness.
1t Is interesting to recall his taste for
lngres and the echoes of classical
style, which are to be Identified in
some of his drawings, especially cer-
tain early studies of drapery. which
might have sprung from contact with

We must be grateful for the per-

a little anxious and ingenious, at this
point. He doesn't like the notion that
Degas had cult for ugliness and
