STOCKS YIELDED
AS MONEY SCARED
General Calling Of Loans
Checked Vigorous Buying
Movement of the Morning

New York, April 15.-The stiff call
rate took great deal of the wind out
of the sails of the constructive party
in today's stock market. There was q
general calling of loans, apparently to
meet the heavy government Withdraw
ais, while little money on call was be-
ing offered. The opening rate for call
money was made at = per cent, against
the per cent renewal rate yesterday,
but in view of the limited supply the
rate was soon pushed up to 10 per cent.
In the meantime the Bank of England
announced an advance in the minimum
discount rate to Z per cent, which, how
ever, was generally anticipated by rca-
son of the, advance made yesterday on
the treasury bills.
This action of the English bank.

influence over the market at the open
ing. On the contrary, the dealings were
broad and active. with the oils, second .
airy steels, equipments, motors and
sugars resuming their leadership at
gains of to 3 points. The opening rise
was temporarily checked before the end
of the first hour as a result Of the
Pittsburgh advices that the railroad
strike was causing further suspension
Of industrial operations in that district.
Animated rallies soon ensued when
minor stecls, equipments, motor spe-
cialtics, textiles and chemicals again
moved forward. Leaders included

exceptions to the further rise included
several of the investment rails. General
Motors and the preferred stock OF the
Standard Oil Co., of New Jersey. which
reacted probably on the announcement
of the new capital issues.
Most of these gains were accom- :
plishcd in face of the advancing rates
for money, but when the loaning insti-
tutions began to call loans right and

the pinch was real. an active selling
movement began. especially among the

STORAGE BATTERY

Vigorous Buying Movement Car
ried Price Up So, Disclosing
Scant Supply

Electric Storage Battery was the star
attraction of the local market. AS a
matter Of fact, il was the whole mar
ket. The renewed buoyancy displayed
by the stock not only stood out in bold
contrast against the indolent character
of the trading Of the general list. but
also was yividly reminiscent Of the ex-
citing dealings of last fell, when the
price was raised nearly 100 points from
51as to 153. There was vigorous. IL
not urgent, demand for the stock this
morning as soon as the opening gong
sopnded, and before the end Of the first
hour the price had been run up IS to
1874. Although there was no definite
news to account for the fresh outburst
of speculative enthusiasm, no end of
rumors were circulated of stock divi-
dends and stock allotments at par. All

lacked official confirma alton, and were
generally discrcdited in usually we'll
informed quarters. Nevertheless the
fact remains that the supply Of stock
was exceedingly scant. and apparently
most of the holdings acquired by Ger
tain interests last year are still held
intact. On the other hand, there were
good reasons for supposing that most OF
the speculative held stock forced on the
market on the reaction early in the
year from 153 to 90 had been absorbed
by these same interests. Some profit
taking was met which caused partial
reaction TO 1872, but these offerings
were well taken.
There was little change in the gen
cral character of the trading in the gen.

confined in most cases to slight fractions.
