BY STUART P. WEST. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK. February Again today the stock market was called upon to move under generally de- pressing surroundings. Call money renewed at 8 per cent. and bids for time money were raised to i, cent on industrial collateral. which was a full 1 per cent above the rate prevailing in the middle of Janu: There was no excuse for the unea: ness expressed in some directions be- cause of the drawing down of their, New York balances by interior bank S0 long as the general banking posi- tion throughout the country is on the mend it docs not much matter if tem- porarily conditions at New York are not as favorable as they were. The strain, such as it is, could very quickly. be relieved by the reserve banks in districts such as Boston and Cleveland. where the reserve ratio exceptionally high, taking over dis- counts from the New York bank. Still, the change, even if not a lasting one, from the low-money rates of three weeks ago to the comparatively high rates of the present was an influence working against both the investment and the speculative markets. Price-Cutting a Factor. Apart from the money market there were other depressing factors. The price-cutting campaign continued in the oil trade. with a further sharp reduction in gasoline quotations by the Standard 0il companies in the east. The market for raw sugar dragged farther downward Beiore the labor board at Chicago President Atterbury of the Penn- sylvania amplified his dismal testi- mony of Tuesday regarding the pres ent earnings of the railroads and their desperate plight in case present wage agreements are not abrogated so as to_allow a reduction in pay rolls. He made the statement that, ac- cording to ' preliminary estimates. thirty-six roads in January failed to earn their operating _expenses, and twenty-eight others, although cover- ing ' these expenses, did not earn enough to provide for taxes and fixed charges. This, of course, was a picture of the railway industry, suffering, like other lines “of trade, the very imu consequences of the business depres sion. It made no allowznce for the effect railtway tiaffic of the larger indicated in some of the reports from the in dustrial centers The stock list. with all these things against i, was inclined to give ground, but the wonder was that it yielded as reluctantly as it did. HIGH MONEY SLOWS DOWN BOND SALES No Material Weakness Shown—Liberty Issues Were Again Very Firm. NEW YORK. February 3—The higher money rates, espectally those for time money, continmed to work ageinst the bond market today. They did not induce enough selling to force prices down, but they did check ac- tivity and prevent any advance. It was a day of very little interest as compared with the eventful sessions of last month. The only new operation of conse- quence was the $6,000,000 Oklahoma Gas and Electric 7% per cent first and refunding mortgage offering. This being a pubiic utility issue did not have the quick success that some of the railway and industrial flota- tions have recently met with, but there was no doubt felt that the bonds would ali be placed within the next few days. Regarding new foreign gqvernment financing, the next country which is expected to appear at the 10an counter is Chile. It is expected that the Chilean loan will amount to $25,000,- 000. If this operation is put through successfully it will probably be fol- lowed by bond issues on the part of Argentine and Brazil. Liberty Bonds Higher. Liberty bonds for the second day In succession were stronger. There Was a further recovery of a half point in the second, third and fourth 4%s: victory 4%s were unchanged. In the foreign government section French 88 were firmer at 99 and so were Norway 8s at 100. The upward move- ment in Mexicans was at least tempora- rily checked. Kingdom of Italy 6%s sold at 32. Danish municipal 88 were rather heavy at 98. Swiss, Japanese and United Kingdom issues were all sub- stantially unchanged. The new Pennsylvania 6%s were supported at their issue price of 99%, although showing no inclination to rally, aid the older Pennsylvania bonds worked somewhat lower. Other rail bonds were steady. Trac- tion bonds were in demand, anticipat- ing the early passage of Gov. Miller's traction bill at Albany. Interborough Rapid Transit 6s, Interborough Metro- politan 4%s and Third Avenue bs all rose briskly. HOLDS HEALING SERVICES. The Gospe] Mission, 214 John Mar- shall place. announces a series of heal- ing services, similar to those held here by some of the Episcopal churches, each Friday afternoon from 3 until 5:30 o'clock. A number of those attending have been helped, ac- cording to mission officials, while Mrs. Nellle Talley of Richmond, Va., it is stated, had her eyesight, lost six years ago, restored last week. All who feel that such services might benefit either themselves or thelr friends are cordially invited to attend by Herbert W. Kline, who to- morrow will be in charge. assisted by Mrs. I. F. Nesbitt and Mrs. Annie Keep, evangelists. —_— TALK ON TRAFFIC CAUTION “Wasté a minute and life.” was the of the firm of save your dvice given employes s & Co., at a “walk right-drive right” campaign meeting in the company’s place of business, hy Charles W. Darr last night. “Waive your rights”” the speaker urged his hearers, “and protect vour lives.” The meeting was presided over by George S. De Nealo, and Mr. Darr was introduced by Capt. W. H.
