SHORT-TERM B0HD5
ACTIVE AND STRONG
DURING LAST WEEK
Many High-class Issues
Traded in on a 5 Per Cent.
Basis Election Results
Hai Favorable Effect.
General satisfaction was expressed In
financial circles today over tho volume,
of business transacted during tho last
weotf. Short-term bonds tvero actlvo and
trong, with many of tho higher class Is
sues traded In on a 6 per cent, basis, wlillo
tho new New York city Issues advanced
to now high records, tho three-year
notes soiling at 303. or on a 4,70 basis,
Whllo tho one-year notes wore traded In
t 101!i, or on a 4.60 basis. These notes
wero token only a short time- ago by the
bank syndicate on a 6 per cent, basis,
with exchange At 5, the banks nnd city
to share In nn? profit from exchange
Operations exceeding 2,000,000.
BInoo then tho demand sterling has
yielded to around 4.90 nnd would have
been established far below that rato If
tt wero not for the now rules regarding
Contraband promulgated toy tho (British
Government Money has beon established
on a 8 per cent, basis for both call nnd
time loans In Now York and Is In freo
Bupply.
Election results had much to do with
tho development of strength which was
feoorded between Monday and Friday. In
these thrco business days advances woro
EoordcdLln all the Issues In which there
actlvo Interest.
Dealings In listed stocks both on the
curb and oyer the counter became more
extensive, with United States Stool com
mon moving up from 41 to 43. Propor
tionate Bains wero modo In other Issues,
but this morning listed stocks wore lower
in New York, United States Stool being
offorcd at 4214, with tho supply apparently
coming from somo Important sources. This
confirmed tho view that satisfaction over
election results Is not enough to sustain
any display of strength, but that some
development of moro substance Is neces
sary to act as nn lncentlvo for main
tained, iimprovomcnt, both In security val
ues and Business prospects.
Copper metal at tho beginning of the
week was In good demand around ll',4c,
but tho embargo placed on exports
checked tho buying movement, and at tho
week-end sales wero hard to effect at
Standard Oil Issues, which had been
heavy until yesterday, havo Improved ma
terially and advances of 3 to S cents wero
noted today in Pralrlo Oil, Standard Oil of
California and many other of theso
chares.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 7. -Hearing on
tho application of tha Southern Pacific
and Central Paclllo Railroads for per
mission to retain control of the Pacific
Mall Steamship Company and vessels
owned XY the lines operating on the
Sacramento Itlver was held by the In
terstate Commerce Commission today.
Under the Panama Canal act the Com
mission Is vested with power to grant
such permission to the carriers where. In
Its opinion, such ownership of boat lines
does not stifle competition.
Attorneys for the Southern Pacific and
Central I'aclfla declared that competition
on traffic between the Paclfla and the
Atlantlo would best be maintained
through their ownership of the water
carriers, and that a separate ownership
would only tend to Increase the rates on
transcontinental traulc. The Sacramento
Itlver lines wero held to be necessary

WHEAT NERVOUS, -WITH
BULLISH TONE
UNDERLYING TRADE
Lively Export Call on Chi
cago Board, With Similar
Condition in Market for
Corn.
CHICAGO, Nov. 7. Wheat was ner
vous today, prices keeping within rather
narrow limits. Speculative trado was
comparatively light. Thcro was nn ex
cellent export call hero and at & number
of other points. Underlying sentiment
wan bullish, nffectcd by tho persistent
demand from abroad. It was asserted
that tho Italian Government has at
tempted to nil a buying order for 1,000,
000 bushels hore, at Minneapolis nnd at
Knns&t) City. Prices In tho northwest
r ruled comparatively strong. Cash sales
woro E25,O0O bushels. Futures closed 74c. to
c. higher.
Corn was dull In a speculative way,
but thcro was an excellent export call
and a fair business was closed. Offer
ings of old corn for prompt shipment are
far below the demand. Country sales of
now to arrivo are tho smallest cvor
known at this season, largely duo to
tho how Government grading and to tho
expectations of producers of a largo de
mand later. Cash sales were 393,000
bushels. Futures closed M to '4c. higher.
Oats kept within a narrower rango of
prices relntlvely than other grains. Tho
market closed strong. There was a re
vival in tho Eastern domestic call, and
somo significant Inquiries on foreign ac
count. Cash sales wero 1S0.00O bushels.
Futures closed to ?ic higher.
In provisions covering of a largo specu
lative line of shorts was completed early,
profit taking on tho bulge resulted in
qulto a reaction. At the decline tho nb
sorption was good.
