GALL MONEY HIGHER Lean Rate Touches 1-2 Per Cent at New York. CHECKS STOCK TRADING Rise in Northern Pacific, Due to In creased Passenger Earnings. Further Advances in Steel and N'ew York Central. NEW TORK, Oct. 4. The stock market developed uneven strength after a weak start today,- but the activity dwindled under the Influence of the sustained llrmness of the call money rate. Call money touched 4 4 per cent. The surplus reserve of the banks ls down to the vanishing point and the depletion of cash still continues. The Subtreasury starts the week with a requisition on th'e banks for tl.7C3.XiO and had not a credit balance at the clearing-house this norning. Foreign discount markets showed more of the effect of relaxation after the October 1 requirements, the private discount rate re ceding a fraction la Berlin. ' The principal stock msrket Influence which contended with the restraint of the mone po sition was the determined advance in United States Steel. It was rumored that the com pany had purchased 1.000.000 of Its own etiarea in the market, as It la privileged to do1 under Its chartere- representing an outlay or some SOU.OOO.OW). New york Central was another conspicuous point of strength. Railroad traffic omclaia from all sections reported an enlarging mer chandise movement and Increasing needs for cars. The rise In Northern Pacific was baaed on the August earnings, the" heavy increase In passenger earnings being attributed to the Alaska- Yukon-Paciflc Exposition travel. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value, $5,875,000. United States Donas were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. Hlah. Low.

MURDERER BAFFLES POLICE i Mystery Snrrounds Sudden Killing of Japanese on Street. 3. Okagi, the Japanese companion of H. Hiramatsu, who was mysteriously murdered Saturday night, and who has told the police a remarkable tale of the death of his comrade, was arraigned before Judge Bennatt yesterday afternoon and held under $3000 bail as a witness. The killing of Hiramatsu is baffling to the police. Detectives Carpenter and Price were assigned to the case yester day morning and so far no developments have arisen. Okagl says they had visited a storq) at First and Couch streets, where a few purchases were made by Okagl. Then they walked toward Second street. Okagl says near the cornei" he turned around to look for a streetcar. Hiramatsu had gone but a few feet from him. When he turned, Hiramatsn was staggering, with his throat slit from ear to ear, and no one was in sight. The police are of the opinion the killing is one in which a Japanese quarrel Is hidden and are inclined to believe if the murderer is discovered, he will prove to be a co'untry man of the dead man. i SHERIDAN BRINGS TROOPS Twenty-fifth Infantry Returns From Philippines.
