Market Opinion
No Money Concern

We need not be greatly concerne ID
over the current high rates for MONEY
Tor they are merely a reflection of
preparations by interior banks for get
ting over particularly difficult half
year market. After a week of uncer-
talnty money should work easier.
There is likely to be some bear activ-
lty on the money rate; if so, stocks
should be bought, for there is reason
to believe that at least a makeshift
plan has been devised to finance cx-
port trade on the removal of the en-
bargo.-Clurg, Childs C Co.

The Railroad Move

Another popularity of the market
was that railroad shares were firm
throughout the day. While industrial
stocks closed with severe net declines,
of and points in active motor, steel
and oil shares, few railroad shares
failed to make gains. Atchison ad-
vanced 2A points, Southern Pacific "
The general tendency for the last few
months had been for industrial shares
to advance further and further beyond
the railroads.

Money Rates

Interpretation of the stock movement
yesterday was confused, however, by
the fact that on Monday night call
money on both industrial and mixed
collateral had gone to 10 per cent.
But when the rate opened at and 6 a
per cent again, the decline continued,
becoming even more severe, and the
recovery in the afternoon followed
very close on the firming of money

 MT Swan states, from his un- derstanding of these boats, that they have very complete officers quar- ters. probably in excess of actual needs. some of which could possibly be utilized for first-class passengers and accommodations for steerage passengers might be provided be- tween decks similar to the arrange ments made on the Crooke.
 Tt would seem to me that one of these boats would be admirably adapted to the Commissions require ments. By utilizing the Lawrence in tow of this vessel, it is believed the entire freight requirements of the Commission to Seward and Anchor. age would be provided for.
