Call Money Again Bises to 12 Per Cent in New York City NEW YORK. Nov. M.-Anothcr sudden advance In call money, or day-to-day loans, to 12 per cent, equalling yesterday'a high rate and not attained since the early part of 1910, was responsible for further unscttlemcnt In the stock market today. Several Influences were rcsponslblo for this stringency. Including the fact that clearing house bonks havo already lost J7,WX),000 to tho subtreasury since last Friday, which threatens a deficit in tho excess rcservo at ,tho end of the week. It was reported In tho financial district that tho Treasury' department ut Wash ington would." again bo :apiealcdrto fw assistance. . " ' - In addition to tho losses to the bank to the subtreasury there havo been heavy direct shipments of cash by these panic InstltutloiiH to the Pacific coaat and other centers, chiefly to facilitate movements of crops. Loans were again called during tho early market session, but this action was limited to several of tho banks In tho clearing house which last week showed some Impairment of their legal reserve. Money fell to 3 per cent towards the close of tho market, by which time pressing needs "had been met. The ruling rate, according to rellablo brokers, was between 9 and 10 per cent. Nevertheless, largo sums were borrowed at the maxi mum figure, 12 per cent. The renewal rat" for tho day 11 per cent constitutes a record not equalled' since tho latter rart of 1909. Ono of the reasons advanced for yes terday's and today's flurry la the prob ability that the comptroller of tho cur rency at Washington will soon call upon the national banks of the country to re port their condition.
