It is for him to say what shall be done.

Foreign bankers offering to lend mill- ions of dollars in the local market at the prevailing rate for call money had a reassuring effect to-day and from the outset stock trading wag active. The stand taken by the foreign bank- ¢rs Is a positive assurance to the spec- ulative world that the future of the crops 1s no longer in doubt. Always conservative, the foreign lend- era are now pronounced bulls, and thelr activity in the call loan department is a fairly reassuring indication that there ts no immediate danger of a money strini eney. Wise Houses Sell. Although foreign houses found London operators disposed to reduce thelr com- mitments and to liquidate when the op- portunity offered, the effect upon the general list was practically nil. The only feature that gave heaviness to the general tone and restricted con- siderably the volume of sales when its Influence became pronounced, was the eagerness of the public to hive profits. Wire houses with big country con- nections had large selling orders, and on the day's trading the public sold more than tt bought. To-day’s developments in Union Pa- cifle, St. Paul and Balitmore and Ohio Indicated new aggressive movements on the part of the Western contingent and guve added activity to the shares of subsidiary companies. Loulsville and Nashville practioally led the railroad list in activity, being forced up over 3 points, to 167. ‘The only reason for the advance was the strongly Intreuched belief that J. P.

Henry ©. Frick, Marshall Field, John A, Lambert, Daniel G. Retd, the Moore Bros, and john W. Gates, have more influence in shaping the daily couree of mar- ket leaders than all others combined. Their methods are crude, but force- ful. They simply overwhelm oppo- sition with money.

There is less de- mand for money and less danger of a money stringency, while the small vol ume of business prevents any important Nquidation, keeping stocks near their present level. Gates Selects Rise. Arthur C. Rice, Superintendent of the Bay View Mills of the Illinois Steel Company, has been selected by John W. Gates and his associates to be the new President of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company in the event that they defeat President Osgood at the annual meeting. Mr. Rice has not heretofore been prominent in financial affairs, but his knowledge of steel matters from the ore to the finished product, ia said to be un- rivalled. His’ connection with the Western group of capitalists is sure to bring him prom'nently before the speculative world. German bankers are lendihg money freely in Wall street at the prevailing rates through offerings of their ex- charge. This is chiefly responsible for the demoralization in sterling exchange. ‘The German financiers anticipate later covering their commitments through supplies of commercial bills. oe 8 Stock Market War.

Intimate friends of Magnate Harri- rian say that he is especially averse at this time to having serious trouble with organized labor. Directors of the Southern Pacific Ral!- road will meet Thursday to consider the proposed lesue of $100,000,000 of bonds At this meeting the immediate issue of $25,000,000 will be authorized. oe e Figures Not Ominous. ‘The loans and discounts of all na- tional banks at the last call were $3,221,859,031, which Is the high rec- ord. The loans and discounts re- ported In 1898 were only $2,163,681, 938. Thus the increase in four years hag heen $1,058,177,698, or more than the entire loans of all the national banks in October, 1880, which were then $1,040,977,267. Financiers say that these startling figures give no ground for apprehension. They only show the enormous growth of the United States In wealth during the past four years. Behind all these huge loans is good collateral.
