FIRM. MONEY RATES
PREDICTIONS MADE
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, october 26.-Just as it
is the popular feeling that there will be
no important disturbance in the stock
market until after the election, so it Is
the belief in banking circles that money
rates will maintain fairly stable posi-
ton throughout the first half Of Mo-
vember, though with the prospect of
higher rates at the end Of that month
and in December.
The falling rate this week for call
loans was looked upon as temporary
incident and not representative Of the
general demand. This was verified yes
terday in a rise in the rate to per
cent, with the banks calling loans again
and brokers scurrying around to find
funds. There was no change in the
market for time loans, which are norni-
nally 6A per cent, compared with the
high rate Of 712 per cent in Septem-
Der.
The policy of the Federal Reserve in
buying acceptances on large scale is
likely to continue. Through this me-
dunn there has been a certain amount
of easement in the money situation. 1t
has had the effect Of limiting imports
of gold and although 100000 has
been arranged for to be shipped from
England on Saturday the total receipts
have been and are likely to be small in
comparison with the estimates made a
month ago.
Considerable interest was taken yes
terday in the analysis of the money
market by President Mitchell of the
National City Bank, and especially to
his references to the volume of brokers
loans made by Others" and commonly
described in Wall Street as bootleg
gers loans" These were over $4,000
100000 last week and double the
amount of similar loans year ago. 1t
Is from this source that most trouble is
expected should there be a sharp de-
cline in the stock market which would
depreciate the value Of the collateral
under these loans. They have been
made by corporations and individuals
who have little experience in this kind
of banking and who might be expected
to run to cover and call their loans
suddenly should stocks break violently.
The Bank Of France today showed
small increase in gold, while the Bank
of England experienced moderate re-
duction in its bullion account. In the
exchange market the feature was the
rise in Spanish currency, which is be-
ing supported by the government
against the speculative movement In 1t.
Japanese exchange was also very
strong.

WHEAT Is HIGHER

Quotations.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, october 26-Higher prices
both for wheat and corn developed
early today. Unexpected firmness of
Liverpool wheat quotations, together
with absence OF selling pressure here,
strengthened wheat, and there was talk
that further export business in corn had
been done overnight. Opening 1s to y
cent higher, Chicago wheat reacted a
little and then rose higher than before.
Corn started 1s to "a cent up and held
near to the initial figures. Oats were
steady. Provisions inclined downward.
Upturns today in wheat values here
were helped by decided falling OF in
arrivals of domestic wheat NORTHWEST,
as well as by the fact that the Liver
pool wheat market was relatively flrm.

wheat receipts today amounted TO
but GA cars, against $50 cars a week
ago. AdviceS were also at hand that
decreased Canadian crop estimates were
attracting increased notice abroad and
that Canadian frosts had done more
damage TO wheat quality than has gen.
orally been supposed.
Demand from house with foreign
connections, gave noticeable frmness
here at times today to prices OF corn

pointed TO unsettled weather over the

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
NEW YORK. october 26.-The bona
market has become so accustomed to
high rates for money in recent months
and to wide fluctuations In the quota
ton on call loans that it is nearly as
Indifferent to them as are stocks. In
spite of the renewal rate OF 712 per
cent today there were numerous adj
vances in the prices of first mortgage
4 per cent railroad bonds and in the
refunding 4i2s. The department OF the
market most sensitive to the changes
in rates was that of the U. S. Govern
ment issues. which had a substantial
rally early in the week, when money
was more abundant and rates 1la per
cent on call lower than they were to-
day.
At the start nearly all of the convert
ible issues reacted. This was continuas
ton of the movement in progress at tins
closing yesterday that had affected the
copper mining convertibles especially.
Anaconda Copper rs were off nearly e
points. making a total decline OF points
rom Yesterdays high, and Andes Copper
Is were - point lower. BY midday the for
mer showed net gain of 212 points and
the latter of Ia points. The oil con-
vertibleS were irregular though some OF
the straight mortgage or debenture is
sues advanced.
The Italian convertibles made frac-
tional improvement with Fiat Is again
around 14O. A feature of the foreign
market was the premium of a half point
on the new Peru 6s, which were surpris-
ingly we'll placed. The various members
of the German agricultural bank group
showed strength. japanese issues were
steady. A $40 000, 600 loan to one of the
Japanese development companies Is I'M
der consideration.
More than ordinary activity, along
with higher prices, occurred in Atchi-
son Is, Frisco Is, Northern Pacific As
and Union Pacific Is, while Union Pacl-
fic aus, Missouri Kansas-Texas 412S,
Frisco 4I2s and Rock Island AIS were
either at or above the previous days
closing, and from to Az points above
the lower range of last Summer.
This weeks total of new securities, in
which two large foreign issues and two
substantial municipal loans figure,
amounted to $74,000,000, compared
with $50, 100000 the week previous.
