Yesterdays fluctuations in quota

ing place. The reaction was designed
to offset the excessive rise Of tho
previous weeks, which was motivnted
by conversation about and declaration
OF stock dividends, which do not
create new wealth for shareholders,
but often excite spectators.
During most of the session prices for
| the greater part receded, and average
quotations slumped to the lowest level
for the movement. The character Of
the earnings for the third quarter Of
the United States Steel Corporation,
which failed fully 60 earn the dividend
on the common shares, was regarded
as a reason for further selling, and
steel, particularly, was weak. The at
tninment Of new strata In the price
level as result Of the continued re-
action, however, encouraged various
kinds OF buying in the last hour, when
prices rebounded with remarkable
sharpness, particularly quotations Of
industrial shares, which had been most
vulnerable during the decline. Part of
the buying represented short covering,
or profit taking by the bears who had
contributed to the setback deliberately.
There were indications too that some
of the late buying represented real ac-
QUESTION by those who considered pre-
vailing reduced prices as cheap. par
ticularly in view of the fact thas the
decline has wiped out the early October
gains at time when the general news
Of domestic business has been favor

In the cotton market, strength fol-
lowed early reactions. Trade buying
induced short coverings, and final
prices were z to II points higher, with
prevailing cotton prices already far
above the normal level in peace time.
Wheat prices closed III to 2A cents
a bushel net higher. Speculation for
the rise was encouraged by an estimate
that the winter wheat acreage would
show reduction Of 10 per cent.
Foreign exchanges fuctuated within
narrow boundaries, and were generally
STEADY in tone.
Call money rose to per cent before

q wide difference Of opinion as to the
extent of that reduction. There Is mn
way of obtaining official or even
authoritive figures on the Streets loan
account. The best gauge is furnished
by the reports OF member banks to the
Federal Reserve Board, and these
statistics are so out of date when pub

the current position. In some ouarters
1T Is contended that the lower quota
tions of stocks have caused q substtnial
curtailment OF brokerage requirements
for accommodations. Elsewhere this
view is challenged on the ground that
activity has been maintained and that
the price decline has not been suffi-
clent materially to modify the aggre-
gate amount used. The Street loans of
individual institutions are regularly so
subject to fux as in themselves to
throw little light on the situation.
Thus one institution whose normal in

Money Is Spotty

An advance in call money yesterday
to q per cent emphasized the existing
lrregularity Of the money markets
The situation can best be described as
spotty, and day to day iuctua-
tions are largely determined as
the Western banks arc attracted into
the market or withdraw from it.
Current demand for money is such that
when the rate works below per cent
interior banks are inclined to pull out
their funds. A rate of per cent on
the other hand, generally induces a
considerable return flow of money to
this center. Broader variations in the
rate are obviated by the fexibility of
movement of this out OF town supply,
while there has also developed fuller
measure of cooperation and UNDER
standing among local banks in handling
the market The money committee Of
war and post-armistice days is no
longer functioning, but its experience
has unquestionably enabled an inn
provement in the methods.
