THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York, Oct. ll.-Tho stock market
fell flat uguln today. The dullness mndo
it evident that jestorday's spurt was due
almost entirely to covering by shorts,
who today were Inclined to regret their
precipitancy. The warlike situation be
tween England and the Transvaal was
almost without efTcct. In fact tho Lon
don market seemed to foul rather encour
aged than otherwise over tho termination
of tho uncertainty and operators there
Inclined to hid up the prices of some of
the American stocks In svmpathy with
tho advanco of tho Kalllr stocks Tho
rldo was abort lived on this bldo and
tho dragging tendency of prices was nut
much changed nt any time until tho close
of tho market nt prices below lart night's
level all around. The money market was
distinctly ensier. The causes of this were
quite apart from tho action of tho treas
ury department In offering to untlclpate
tho government Interest payment for tho
remainder of the fiscal year. For ono
thing, tho sub-treasury figured at tho
clearing houso again today as a debtor
for over a million. Government disburse
ments nro running qulto heavy duo in
largo pnrt to pension payments There
was a sum of gold received from Havana
today from postal revenues and a small
additional shipment of French gold was
received Tho rate for call money ruled
for the greater amount of loans at 7 to 8
per cent, and fell to 3 per cent. In tho
lato deullngs. Money continues to go out
to the Interior In largo volume. Not so
cheerful a view was taken of the effect
of the treasury department's action with
regard to anticipated Interest. Under
tho terms of tho department order tho
amount of Interest to bo pnld out this
week Is only about 11.500,000 and that not
until Friday. Of course only part of It
Is payablo In New York, and precedents
show that a small part of tho holders
nro likely to present their clilms on that
day. The next disbursement comes on
Oct 21 The requirement for the presen
tation of registered bonds for Indorse
ment before payment Is made Is also
expected to operato pgaln a general ac
ceptance of the Interest. Tho action of
the trensury department nevertheless has
had tho effect of allavlng apprehension In
Wall street, but It Is peicelved that what
ever relief Is afforded Is not likely to
furnish a supply of surplus funds for tho
benefit of stock speculators. Total sales,
209,700.
Business In bonds was very well dls
trlhuted nnd the tendency of prices was
downward. Total sales, par value, $2,0S3,
