EASTERN MARKETS
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
NEW YORK, Oct. 31.— The halt to the advance in prices o£. the •c^t.ly
part of the day was regarded as a normal note of caution^. Too rapid a
TC-establishment of ordinary trading conditions in the stock :> rharlcet would
'be considered as endangering the progress of recuperation: in', the general
[ situation and especially as hazarding the solidarity of the. recuperation in the
• stock market itself. The signs that liquidation of collateral out of loans -was
\u25a0not wholly completed came as a note of warning after the Rasing money
', rate had so far stimulated courage that someicomr^issionhousesvhad com
menced to accept orders for buying on margins, the margins being' of course,
• extremely wide and jealous scrutiny being exercised over collateral. , The
easing money rate at the stock exchange cannot yet be accepted as indicative
j of an entirely free open market rate, brokers being restricted to their O\yn
I hankers for security accommodation and subject; to the requirements therein,
i The forced liquidation' which was pursued of certain loans;- left: no, resource
'. apparently to the borrowers in the way of resort to the open mpney market.
The narrow proportions of the securities market, are forced iritb : ; view in face
.of these liquidating episodes and prices are severely affected,, as- in the case
;of the selling of Pennsylvania. The check to the upward rriovement \^buld
; he assignable in a normal period to the end: of the month requirements,
which are unusually heavy this year. Total interest and dividend disburse
ments for November are estimated by the Journal of Commerce at upward
| of $75,000,000. compared with $53,000,000 in November of last iyeaf-. -Xarge.
•amounts of these payments have been disbursed in, the last few. ; d^ys on an
! sdvance of the date "of the obligation in the course of the, measures taken
iby bankers and capitalists to furnish resources to the. money market. Prob
• ably some preparation was in progress, however, for the;. larger .payments
jdue tomorrow and which it is expected will be promptly;. redeposited with
; banks. Additional engagements of gold made . during the ; day proved that
the advance of 1 per cent in the official discount rate of the.Bank of England
i had not shut off the inward movement of gold to New York. The readiness
• of the Bank of France to recoup the London market for supplies transferred
\u25a0 to New York fortifies the situation, although the heavy decline ; in bullion
; holdings of the Bank of England and the large credit expansion both by the
• English institution and the Bank of France were evidences of _ : :thc widening
sphere of the influences of the New York position. Satisfaction -was felt with
the reports of the quick response among the national banks; to the offer
: of increased facilities for taking out bank notes afforded by thie comptroller
i of the currency agreeing to accept other bonds for government bonds as
I security for government deposits,- .provided use is made of the; withdrawn
bonds for securing new circulation. The movement of all kinds of traffic.
: continues very large and any obstacles to its continuance would retard the
relief of the situation .through the marketing of these commodities abroad;
Outright buying of securities for investment in small lots is factivcly purr
<ued. but this movement also is hampered by the tying, up of facilities. Thus
ihe would be buyers of stocks at interior . points are complaining that, they
cannot procure exchange on New York. '.'."\u25a0'.. ' . ..; . .".
It is believed also that the restrictions on withdrawals : ; of savings banks'
. deposits withholds a considerable demand from the- market for. securities. : : '"
Bonds showed the. effect of forced liquidation at some points as .well
as stocks. There was a sprinkling of advances among them..': .Total sales;

I- LOf? ANGELES, Oct. 81.— There was a general
revival. of business at the produce market today
and .-sales . were larger and more numerous than
for a week or more. There were also greater
fluctuations in prices, moat of them being frac
tional; : but all indicating that the period of
stagnation which has characterised the market
for weeks Is about at an *end. Butter suffered
a sharp decline which had been anticipated and
even- at the lower price there is a. probability
of a still further decline before many days.
Eggs cannot hold at ta« present prohibitive
•prices much longer for the local receipt* are
expected to Increase within les» than a- week,
but the decline In prices probably will b« slow.
Ghee'te prices are firm because receipt* are not
iari*. .-Potatoes are weak because ot accumu

LOCAL MARKETS
Local Money Market
The financial atmosphere yesterday was vastly
"improved over that of Wednesday. Th« action
of the governor in declaring the legal holiday
until further notice Immediately clarified the
situation and placed the banks "on easy street."
As one banker expressed It,' "This places all
the "banks in a discretionary position. They
can do what they please. If we want to do
business with a man we can and If we do not
we need not."-. . \u25a0' '<\u25a0
In spite otthe holiday, the banks were open
for business^ as usual, and they proceeded ex
actly as before the declaration . of the legal
holiday. -Depositors who called for. money were
given all cash necessary for payrolla and other
urgent needs, 'otherwise they were limited to
a few hundred dollars, according \u25a0to the neces
sities of the case. There was no. : deviation
whatever from the pravlous policy. . But there
was : a ! general \u25a0 air. of ;, cheerfulness among < the
banking and other large financial Interests \u25a0 and
tho strain of Wednesday was completely .; over.
The stock boards, like the . banks, opened for
i business > as ' usual, acting . under : the advice ; of
the banks. Bond- houses -reported ; business -.in
bonds light, . but said ; i that there , was •no . pres
sure whatever; to sell bonds to : obtain .cash.
' Rates for 1 exchange and', commercial loans con
tinued wholly nominal.? as, there was no business
In either. \u25a0 In : fact.* there " are no such things as
commercial loans and I sales .of exchange in * this
city at .present. \u25a0' They : - do ; not . exist. As soon
as the' situation Mn v New \u25a0 l'ork clears that
throughout : the y whole ; country . will \u25a0 Immediately
clear \u25a0 and the \u25a0 tension .: and '• stringency will dis
appear. •\u25a0 In the , meantime \u25a0 gold is * flowing • into
this market from : New York to relieve this city
and a million or so in gold .was received by
telegraph -through. ... the."' subtreasury : yesterday,
with • more .to ,' follow dally ' until normal condi
tions are - restored. In a : few o>ys the current
tightness in the money market will ~ probably
come; to -. an: end. General confidence and • op
timism' are . expressed In'all financial .and ' com
mercial ; circles and nobody is expressing any
particular ' complaint.

weak market, as retailers were abundantly sup

chickens continued weak and unsettled and large

down to 48r a dozen on the exchange and
closing at 49c bid, a decline cf 4c from the
preyious quotation. Storage goods and the
under grades of fresh were unchanged.

were barely steady, there being. quite a large.
accumulation of newly made stock lying around

THE STOCK MARKET
AH Stocks, Even the Simthfrn XeTadas,
Generally Dnll «nd FearoreleM
Although yesterday was a legal holiday th«
stock boards, acting under the advice of th«
banks, decided to continue their dally sessions.
A petition was presented In the San Francisco
utock and exchange board r»qnesting it to close.
:ut at a meeting of the exchange the request
lor closing was voted down by a very large raa-
Jority.
There was very little tracing in local secur
ities, as usual, and tho only change worthy of
note was a decline in the Key Route bonds,
which sold at par, against a previous asking
price o* $103.50., The United Railroads bonds
wars also lower at $62.50 bid. The following
sugar stocks w-i> ex dividend:' Hawaiian •'. &
S.. 65c; Hutchisson S. P. company, 15c; Onomea
sngar company. 40c; Paauhaa S. P. company.
15c.- • :: . •
i Mining stocks were dull and featureless. For
the first day in months there were no note
worthy variations in the southern Neradaa. nor
was there any n«ws of any importance concern-
Ing them. They were simply dull. There wan
som* unwonted activity in Montana at $1.45@
1.60, the stock closing at; $1,43, against $1.50
the preceding day.
The Comatocks were also quiet and featureless.
except that all wese weak. wUti the leader*
generally lower.
The Seaboard bank has declared a semiannual
dividend of 3 per cent, which Is 1 per cent
mere than the previous dividend. This dividend
la payable November 1.
