RUMORS Bis LOANS
TO GERMANY CAUSE
PRICES TO ADVANCE

New York, Oct. 29.-The New York
Evening Suns Financial Review today
said:
Today's stock market was none too
Gays to analyze because of cross cur
rents and want of consistency in trade.
The market has become far too big to
be uniform in movement even when
there may be some predominating in
fluence at work. Prices were higher
from the beginning and underlying con-
ditions denote strength throughout but
this fact did not prevent reactionary
intervals due to taking Of profits In
some cases. Trading was in large
volume although 1t was not anything
like evenly apportioned. Republic
Iron and Steel was again the leader,
that issue crossing 1875. United States
Steel touched 10 early. The Motors
were relatively soft throughout. New
ertheless General Motors slightly bet
tered the top price of Tuesday al
though its movement had a spread Of
some Is points.
The oils were in good form, most of
the time with Texas company leading.
That stock ran up to $40 early in the
afternoon, a gain of more than 80
points.
The erratic movement Of call money
carrying the rate to IA per cent and
then back to IL per cent, caused an
irregular reaction in the late afternoon.
1t was obvious that sentiment was
much confused.
