NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS Early Advance in Prices is FolloWed by a Halt. BEOKEKS ABE TOO CONFIDENT Some of Them Begin Accepting Orders on Margin and Call Money Again Risen More Forced Liquidation. NEW YORK, Oct. Jl.-The halt to the sd vance In prices of the early part of the day was regarded as a normal note of caution. ,Too rapid a re-establishment of ordinary trading and the progress of re cuperation caused a stoppage of this move. The signs that liquidation of collateral head for loans was not wholly completed came as a note of warning after the easing money rate hnd so far stimulated courage that some commission houses had com menced to accept orders for buvlng on margin, the margin being, of course, ex tremely wide and Jealous scrutiny being used on collateral. Tho easing of the money rate at the Stock exchange cannot yet be accepted as indicative of an entirely free open market, rate brokers being restricted to their own resources for securing ac commodation and subject to the require ments Insisted upon. The liquidation of certain loans left nothing In the wsy ot reaching the open market. Prices are se verely affected as In the case ot the sell ing of Pennsylvania today. The check to the upward movement would be assignable. In a normal period, to the end of the moath requirements, which are unusually heavy this year. Total Interest and dividend dis bursements for November are estimated fer tile Journal of Commerce to amount to upwards of $75,000,000, compared with fri3,Onn,ano in November of last year. Large amounts of these payments have been dis bursed In the last few days in advance of the date of tho obligation In course of the measures taken by bankers end capitalists to furnish resources to the money market. Probably some preparation was In progress, however, for the large payments tomorrow and which will promptly be deposited with banks. Additional engagements of gold made during the day proved that the ad vance of 1 per cent In the official discount rate of the Bank of England had not shut oft the Inward movement of gold to New York. The readiness of the Bank of France to recoup the London money market for supplies transferred to New York fortifies the situation, slthongh the heavy decline In bullion holdings of the Bank ot England and tho large credit expansion both bv the English institution and the Bank of France is evidence of the widening sphere of tho influences of the New York position. Satisfaction was felt with the reports of the quick response, amongst the national banks to the offer of increased facilities for taking out bank notes offered by the comptroller of tho currency agreeing to Bccept other bonds for government bonds as security for government deposits pro vided use Is made of the withdrawn bonds for securing new circulation. The movement of all kinds of traffic continues large and any objection to its continence would re tard the relief of the situation through the marketing of these commodities abroad Outright buying of securities for invest ment In small lots Is hampered by the tying up of facilities. Bonds showed the effect of forced liqui dation at some points ss well as stocks There was a sprinkling of an advance among some of them. Total sales, par value, $3,004,000.

Most of these cattle were rang ers and very much on the trashy order, that Is, there were comparatively few beef steers on sale. The cattle In the yards yes terday were pretty much all cleaned up before the close last night, so that there was little on sale this morning aside from the ficsli arrivals. While It was evident that the number of cattle wanted was still limited and while operators were still ex pressing a fear that excessive receipts would be disastrous, nevertheless there waa unquestionably a better feeling to the trade as a whole. Buyers have apparently gotten over the panicky feeling so notice able the first of I he week and business Is settling down 1o a normal basis. What few beef steers there were sold at steady to strong prices, tile most of the offerings changing hands much earlier in the day than usual of late. There were, however, hardly enough to make very much ot a test of the market. Cows and heifers were easier to sell to dny and the feellnff on that kind of cattle was also steady to a little stronger in spots, aliile there was no great rush to buy and no great activity to the trade buyers kept at work cleaning up the cattle a few at a time. The low prices at which feeders are sell ing evidently looked good to the country in usmuch as buying orders are 'jimlng In very freely, while there Is a good attend ance of country buyers. Thus while prices could hardly be tailed more than steady to strong the market la taking on a more healthy condition, the demand being suffi cient to keep the supply pretty well re duced.

Receipts were very moderst and there wss a better buying demand thsn on a good many days of late. Packers all wanted a few killers and the limited num ber of loads on aale changed hands In pretty good season In the morning st fully steady prices. Pretty decent fat lambs sold st $6.00. nlth fair to good yearlings at 34.75 and a pretty good kind ot ewes at 34.36. The feeling In the feeder trade wrs alno Detter, although the market was still slow, there being an absence of the usual sn ip and life so characteristic of tho sheep mar ket at this point when conditions are fa vorable. This morning regular oper ators on th market were express ing the belief that the downward move ment In prices was practically at an end, in other words thst the bottom had been reached. Hence those with buying orders In hands were more ready to fill them and while still moving cautiously and without any great amount of hurry they gradually picked up the offerings. At the same time the country haa apparently come to the same conclusion, namely, that the bottom has been touched and commission men this morning were reporting more buying or ders received than during the last fev days. There were also a good many country buyers In looking for stuff. It must not be understood from this that there was any snap or life to the trade, but Just a slow, steady market with th) feeling a little better.
