New York, say: "Tho stock market today was Irregulnr. In the early dealings the general tendency was towards a lower level, but later general gen-eral recoveries were made on the publication publi-cation of preliminary estimates of the movements of cash of the associated banks during tho week, nnd for the first time In several weeks past the known movements of curroncy showed that banks have gained Instead of losing from sub-treasury and Interior operations. The net gain, however. Is small but it was general belief thnt loans had been further restricted by banks slnco last Saturday and in consequence tho reserves will sl ow a considerable Increase tomorrow. Wo contlnuo to adhere to the long side of tho murkot on the unprecedented favorable favor-able condition. The money market however, how-ever, will not permit. In our opinion, the Inauguration of a movement to advanco prices for tho tlmo being, but later on ln the fall wc antlclpato a much higher ran go of valuos." Logan & Bryan. New York, say: 'Market 'Mar-ket closed strong In all departments sharply so In the Morgan group of railways. rail-ways. What little hesitation came on the advance In money rates soon disappeared, with money being offered by the bankers' syndicate relieving unnecessary alarm. It cunnot bo denied thnt tho action of the market is strong, it rallies easily when prcssuro Is removed and acts as though It would do better." T. A. Mclntyre & Co.. New York, say: "Thero were nearly 000,000 shares of stocks traded In today. Of this amount tho transactions In L. & N.. Reading, Canadian Ca-nadian Pacific. Union Pacific. St. Paul and tho Steel stocks contributed over 50 per cent, and although tho banks and trust companies called loans rather freely free-ly and marked tho rate on others to 4 per cent, thereby forcing tho rate In tho open market up to 414 per cent, tho gen-oral gen-oral situation and outlook of the market seems to be favorable for a continuation of manipulation ln theso specialties. We, however, contlnuo to advise caution in operations as thero Is an urgent Inquiry for funds from country banks and other sources as well ns ln tho West and South to movo tho crops, and thero l every Indication In-dication that the money markets will work closer nnd higher, until the middle of November."
