Call loans were openly quoted through- it the session at 3 1-2 per cent, but that figure was shaded in private offer ings and much of the 30 to 90 day money was secured at § per cent. The demand for metals and kindred wtocks resulted in extreme advances of 1 to 2 1-2 points, with Ansconda, Chinco, Thile, Granby, SNattuck Arizona, Amer- fean Zinc common and preferred, Butte and Superior, American Smeiting and National Lead the most conspicuous fea- tures. “Among _steel Midvals the movement was un- easing two points on the reported merger With The latter was sluggish with ! , Lackawanna and United States Republle, Vanadium, Iron and Colorado Fuel rose 1 1-2 2 points on their best shares were strongest pf the atter- dealings, when Mex- etroleum gave way to selling while Cosden, Producers and Refiners snd sever: the less promin- emt domest'c issues made substantlal Faine Dulilness with occaslonal reactlonary tendencies marked the trading in mo- tors and equipments.
