W-isil' f V DEALINGS IN SHORT TERM NOTES LARGE AT HIGHER PRICES Activity in Bonds of Consoli dated Gas, Baltimore and Ohio, Pennsylvania R. R. and New York City One year. The nltuatlon, as reflected In develop ments In the various markets In which open trading Is permitted, was far bright er today than at any time eltica the stock exchanges closed. Dealings In short-term notes were on a large scalo at advancing prices In New York, with Consolidated Qas notes, which rrcro brought out on a 6H per cent, basis, selling on a 5' per cent, basis. Baltimore find Ohio notes were quoted at OS'U bid, and Pennsylvania Railroad &$ were fS bid. FIrallar actlTity and strength was noted In Now York city notes, the one-year notes selling at the- new high record of mi. Tha 4Hs of 1857 were In brIMt de .niand at 100', but were not offered under 101. Good long-term bonds were also In demand, with tho supplj too scant to permit tho execution of larce buying or ders. In both short and long term Is sues many orders were for amounts of a quarter of a million dollars or more. Tho money situation has also mate rially Improved In Now York. Placing the standing loans aMde as a fixed ele ment, the money market may now bo regarded ns on a 6 per cent, basis for time and call loans. A loan of $1 cOO.OiM call money waR made late yesterdav at 5H per cent., and time money Is offered for all dates up to 3 months at 6 per cent. Margin of Srt to 3o per cent, are required on all new accommodations an 1 collateral must bo of high class, but tho fact that accommodation Is obtainable presents a new feature In the money market. This Improved situation was accom panied by a change In tho character of tho trading In that group of brokers referred to as the New street curb. This morning tho talk there wan all nbout tho contracts mado to sell United States Steel common under 39 on Monday wero being defaulted on by the sellers Only a few of the trades made nt that low range have been completed bv the de livery of stork. There were to be seen on the adjoining sidewalks numerous in tending small buyers, seeking to purchase small lots of low and medium-priced stocks for cash, but they were able to make only n few purchases A better tone was also shown In the copper metal market, although most of the sales were mado at 1l2C, with somo large purchases for both domestic and foreign account. Chalrmar Gary, of th Tnlted States Steel Corporation. In hli address at the meeting of the American Iron and Steel Institute at Birmingham, said there were good reasons to hop for business Im provement in the future Kpresslons from other Industrial lenders were of tho same tenor.

WAR RISK RATES ADVANCED Rise From One-Half of One Per Cent, to One Per Cent. Presence of mines off the Irish coast, which sent the British steamship Man chester Commorco to destruction, has caused nn Increase In war risk Insur ance rates. The rates lit the transatlantic trade advanced today from one-half of 1 per cent, to 1 per cent. Tho extent of tho mine fields laid by Germany In the North Sea. and the UiirIIsIi Channel Is un known, which makes tho risk to vessels plying In those waters great. At ptcscnt tho underwriters arc en deavoring to arrive at some basis where by reinsurance of cotton risks can be effected. They are anxious to facilitate the movement of cotton. Hut the British Underwriters will not Insure asalnst cap ture. Most of the business of reinsuring the cotton will, therefore, fall upon Amer ican companies It Is expected, however, that they will not have to carry the en tire burden, as the British underwriters will write the bulk of the usual marine business. STOCK SPECULATION ON PAR WITH RISK'S OF EVERHAY LIFE Broker Declares It Is Not Gambling Unless Applied to All Departments of the Trade. The common statement hoard these days that speculation Is dend and will never revive, and that tho Stock Ex changes no longer have a function to fulfil, Is very Interesting, but perhaps If tho meaning of speculation and Its accompanying phase, marginal dealings, were better understood the criticism heard from time to time would be of a different charact-r. The primary motive of speculation of any kind Is a desire for a profit. Most people connect speculation with securities only and do not understand tho full scope of the word. Tho farmer raising his crop Is neer accused of speculation. The position of the cotton grower today Illustrates to a nicety the speculative pos sibilities of this department of American industry. When the present cotton crop was planted It was done with the sole Intent of selling It at a profit. In a great many casos the planter borrowed at his bank on the prospective prollt and spent the funds In rnlslng the crop. He now finds himself In the unpre:cdentod posi tion of not lx-lng able to market the fruits of his toll and cannot pay his notes. H- has done what a security spec ulator often does He has bought his orop on tho margin. He has put 20 per cent. In labor In it and the banks have advanced fO per cent In cash, and with the price of the commodity declining to a point where he cannot get his labor out of It. In fact cannot realize enough to pay the amount borrowed, then he, like the man who buys securities which de cline, must hold his product until such a prico Is reached where he can sell at a profit, or sell for what he can get and take his loss Was not tho cotton grower speculating on such a good demand for cotton when tie plnnted It as to net him a proflf The grower of nhat and other grains plants his orop with the samo hope, and in fact ovory enterprise Is gono Into with tho hope of a profit, and the business situation Is shrewdly considered by the on making the ventuie. When a piece of property Is purchased with a o.ish pimt-'it and the ba'.anco borrowed on mortgage tho buyer has ono of two purposes first, either ho considers tne property i.heap and hopes to sell at a profit, or. secondly, he is uttrartcd to It for 'hing purposes und hopes to be a!lo ultimately to pay for It In full and own It. Therefore, we still have the elements of speculation. When securities aro purchased on mar gin tho same principles aro involved. The purchaser deposits 2ft per cent of tho purchase price He has tho same mo tive. He Is either of the feeling that tho security, by reason of one of a great many means, viz , the condition of bus iness throughout the country, or the char acter of the business, which might have unusual possibilities. Is cheap, and he ex poets ultimately to sell It at a profit, or &ri ho is attracted by tho dividend re turn or other consideration, and intends, if possible, to own the security outright, and considers the SO por cent, paid at tho statt merely the first Instalment. In either case the predominating factor Is speculation, and he Is taking advantage of this particular feature. Perhaps the greatest misnomer given to this form of trading in securities Is gam b'ln anl that It is merely netting on the future of the market. This Is not the case, unless it 1b applied to all depart ments of trade. Is tho cotton grower betting op the conditions that will per mit htm to sell his crop Is the produce dealer who buys a cargo of potatoes. If he sells them at a profit, betting" Is the roan who buys a property and sells it at a profit winning a bet? If a man bets n the com'ng eleition, say ?10, and wins, tha other Bide of the transaction loses 21000, A purchaser takes 100 shares of V. G I. and pays S3 for it, and deposits tlSOO an margin, and then sells It for S5. The broker makes his commission of $35 on the whole transaction, and pays over to the purchaser the balance of (2100 Does this coma out of any one? Does the broker loss ISW on the transaction, or even rLsk it, to make 3t? Does It sound reasonable! It all depends on the point of view! BROKER.

CHICAGO, Oct. 23,-Trade In wheat this mornliifr was fairly active and tho market opened firmer. Commission houses had fair buying orders and It was believed that Europe wna purchasing contracts ngralnst requirements. But bullish senti ment was not pronounced, as the trade Is becoming Impressed by continued liberal receipts from the farms, which are offsetting sales for export nnd after the start the gain was lost. Yesterday's export business was esti mated at l,90o,000 bushela. Ths winter wheat belt needs moisture and the be lief Is growing that the area sown will not bo as great as was expected some weeks ago. Advices from France Bald the shortage In grain there was becoming pronounced, notwithstanding largo pur chases. Consumption In that country Is on a heavy scalo and native offers aro email. Wheat at Paris was up lc. to day and flour lc. higher. Scandinavia, Norway nnd Holland are bidding freely for all offers nnd are willing to meet the higher views of holders. Wheat shipments from Argentina for the week are estimated at S0.000 bushels, nnd the wheat crop of llulgarla at 45, 931,000 bushels. The average crop Is about fO.OOO.OOO. Futures at Iiverpool were not quoted today, but the undertone was very llrm. Jlanltobas and hard winter there were up 1 to 3d. Corn was quiet und easier. Some trad-, ers said, however, that thoy believed thero was too much company on the bear side. Corn nt Liverpool wns firm. The easiness In America and predictions of large ship ments from Argentina were without In fluence at Liverpool. Exports from Argen tina for the week wore estimated nt S.S75.0O0 bushels.
