that many persons In financial circles,
both In this city and New York, arc talk
ing In a dismal Btraln about the prospects
,of reopening the Stock Exchanges this

Tho Street In New York today pre
sented an unusually busy appenrancc.
Thero were many groups trading in un
listed stucks on the I! road street curb,
whllo new faces were seen In the Now
street trading group representing out
side buyers. Including clients of Stock
Exchange houses, cither trading for
themselves or supervising execution of
their orders. Scant offerings contrasted
strongly with the general anil brisk
demand.
The same condition of Increased de
mand was evident In the trndlng In listed
and unlisted bonds through the Stock
Exchange Committee. Tho subscription
of transactions is becoming more
stringent. Today the New York Com
mittee declined to permit a large trans
action In listed bonds at 2 per cent, under
tho July 31 closing (guotatlon, but the
volume of this business seems to grow
In spite of these restrictions, nnd the
Joint sales through committees In New
Tork today passed tho $2,000,000 mark.
Tho New York city loan syndicate coil
ed for another instalment of $8,000,000
from syndicate members payable on Mon
day. This call Is believed to bo tho cause
of tho demand for exchange on Paris,
where some maturities foil due In the
next two weeks. Tarls cablcn sold today
nt 5.10V4, but sellers were advised that
the exchange will not be required until
next week. Sterling was fairly active,
with demand selling at 4.00 and cables
at 4.91.
Inquiries for dividend scrip and short
term railroad bonds continued In tho mar
ket In this city today, whllo very little
interest was shown In stocks. ' Philadel
phia Company scrip was quoted S3 bid.
80 asked, while Cambria Steel scrip was
04 bid. 9ti asked. Sales of tho latter were
Ik made yesterday at 95 and 91. Iteadlnsr
general mortgage 4's were quoted S9 bid
and S3 asked, while Pennsylvania con
vertible 3',is were sold at 9S-H, and 9S
was bid and OSti asked.

ury yesterday $0,781,000 and since last Fri

CONSIDERING DEFINITION
OF COMMERCIAL PAPER
Governor Hamlin B&fa It la Chief
Topic of Discussion by lleserve Board
WASHINGTON. Nov. fl.-Commerclal
paper ns denned under the Federal re
serve act was acknowledged by Governor
Hamlin today to be the chief topic of dis
cussion among members of the federal
Reserve Board. Governor Hnmlln said
tho question linFl arisen as to whether or
not slnglo Indorsed pnper could be ac
cepted n9 commercial paper In the strict
sense of tho term. He lntlmnted that
the board would possibly consider all
forms of commercial paper and decide
what particular classes could bo so
termed.
Further consideration of tho tentative
plan agreed between Sir George Palnh.
of the British Treasury, anil the board,
transmitted to London by cable, formed
no part of the conference. Sir George
has not ns yet received a reply from the
tlrltlsh Trensury ofllrlals, and therefore
will not be In a position to resume nego
tiations until he Is apprised of their view.
A meeting of the bonrd has been called
for later today, when It Is expected Sir
George will present some communication
from his Government, t'poti this reply,
board members say, the opening of Stock
Exchanges In both London and New York
Is contingent.
TRADEIN WHEAT
SMALL, WITH TOM
FIRM AT CHICAGO
Action of Market Yesterday
Caused Hesitation for Fear
Some Positions Had Been
Overbought.
CHICAGO, Nov. 6. -Trade In wheat
was small this morning, but tho under
tone was firm. There was fairly good
buying through commission houses.
Sentiment continued bullish, but action
of the murkct yesterdny enured some
hesitation on tho part of purchasers, ns
It was believed some positions had been
overbought. Hecelpts were quite liberal
again, nnd the steadily accumulating
stocks arc against any material ad
vance, notwithstanding the largo oxport
sales from day to day.
Tho foreign business tho last II hours
again exceeded 1,000.000 , bushels. Tho
mnrket at Liverpool was firm, although
trading was not heavy. The crop news
from Argentina Is disquieting, and prices
at IJucnos Aires strong. Shipments
from Argentina for the week were 73.000
bushels. The visible supply is 390.0CO
bushels, ngnlnst 20J.OOO bushels a year
ago. The weather there continues cold,
with frost In parts.
Supplies of grain In southeastern Kuropo
are strongly held, unit this will continue
during tho war. Tho prospects for the
next crop there are not bright.
Corn was a little easier at the outset,
hut became firmer. Tho wcathoi' con
tinued fine for curing nnd moving tho
new crop. Corn nt Liverpool was strong,
nnd so were tho Argentina markets.
Thero Is active competition for plato
holdings. Shipments from Argentina for
tho week were 5.018,000 bUBhcls. The vis
ible supply thero Is 7,r,00,000 bushels,
against 2.3SO.0OO bushels a year ago.
Oats advanced nfter the opening. Oats
in southwestern Argentina have been
damaged 13 to 30 per cent.
