New York, Auir. 31.—The apeculatlva movement alarkened It* pace on this morning', market and price changes were extremely irregular. The reneon for thla lay entirely In the very .tiff conditions In tha money market, irhlch were more apparent to day than they have been at all. Call money early In the day rose to 10 per rent, and a good deal of the end of the week borrowing waa done around the high figure. Meanwhile the hid. for time money, while not ral.ed over the prerloue days, were made with more urgency, and the supply of this ela.. of fund, gave further nlgn. of rapid diminution. The announcement made «eml-offlclally that 33.800,000 add hail been engaged for Import, and It had eome from the Bank of England dlreet, helped steady the stock market in some measure. But In view of the exhaustion of hank reserves, Indicated for tomorrow, this Importation waa too small a sum to arouse any enthusiasm on the stock exchange. Union Pacific waa very strong, and Southern Pacific, St. Paul, Copper and Pennsylvania showed at times some fairly good buying. But the rest of tho list fell off pretty gen erally at the opening and failed to re gain much In the latter trading.
