The hardening of the money mniltet prior

ance of high rates for call oins , togethei
vvlth an Increased discrimination by the
hanks nnd other tenders ag-ilnst indnstilal
Htocks have been followed bj liquidation
nnd geneial declines in prices
The Impression of the street In regard to
money hud been that more plentiful otip-
plles and easier rates would ho seen this
week This was somewhat unieasonable ,
as vNhatcvei funds are taken to the in
terior for the Apt II settlements mo alow
to drift back to the fln.incinl centers. On
the other hind the closing up of largo in
dustrial deals results In tjing up Inrge
sums temporarily , the money market being
thus influenced during the Inst few d.ijs

The call loan rnlo in Wall street all

on the othci hand the rate for balances nt
the stock exchange has touched 12 per cent
It Is still the general Impression tint easier
money for speculative purposes will return ,
but the market Is considerably exercised
about the now Industrial stocks and the at
titude of money lenders to them.

Innks have shown n icpugnanco to the new
