WORK FOR HIGHER PRICES .Advance Meets With Xo Serious Ob staple Money Market Quieter. Corn, Grangers Lead the . - 3Iovcment Upward. NEW YORK. Sept. 14. Stocks were free from any pressure to sell today, and the money market snowed no evidence of urgent demand to borrow. These were the condition whleh prompted the room traders aad some large profeteloaal operators to work for a higher level of prices. That transactions were mainly In the hands ot the profesjtoaal class of operators was generally agreed and the oommltaloa-houses put out a dally complaint that business Is poor and the general public not In it. The fact that the advance in prices met no serious obstacle makes the appropriate de scription of the market that of strength. The term Is correct for the general underlying con dition and the upward tendency of prices itself whenever the condition of the money market is tranquil. That was the cae today, call loans being made at S per cent or below while the rates for time loons were about steady. The tendency of events towards contracting reserves was Ignored In the presence of this tranquility of " the money rate. The great strength of the buslaeco situation is the easy explanation of the underlying strength ot ptocks. It is a very general conviction la Wall street that if easy money were assured, prices of stocks would advance without difficulty. The enormous grain crops promited oae of the prime arguments for this view, aad It was natural therefore that the day's move ment should turn to the quarater of the mar ket, where the grain movement would be felt first. Owing to the conspicuous promise of the corn crop aad doubtless also to the fact that the stocks of com. caro'lag railroads have not been Active In the speculation, the corn grang ers led th movement. The buing converged on Missouri Pacific. All of the Grangers aad the Southwestern group generally, as well as the Padncs and transcontlnentals shared ia the movement, however. The operation of speculative pools was discernible la somo stocks of the group as well as In other quar ters of the market. The abwrptlon of Erie was or an enormous scale, and eaueed that property to be associated la the current rumor with the open admlseion that negotlatlona were in progress for dlsposlag of the Cin cinnati, Hamlltoa & Dayton property. The reduction of the Bank of England rate. Instead of the expected advance, was accepted as a reassuring factor and revived expectations of a further import movement of gold. Some of the banks were said to be calling loans today, and th oaoa movement evidently makes It Imperative that banks should effect the snowing of a further large loan contract km for the coming weekly statement. Bat the quiet tone of the market for money Implies a fuppiy of fund from other sources, supposed ly the trust companies, and this was the basis of the day's confidence in protection from dis turbances of credit .facilities for operations ia stocks. Discounts rooe la London and Br lln and the foreign exchange market here snowed no farther important reoeoetoas. Stocks developed renewed strength late in the day and doted Arm at about the best prices. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value. $2,405,000. United States bond wore alt unchanged on call.
