New York Market.

NEW YORK, March 4.-The net result
of the week in the stock market is a
slight gain in prices for nearly all stocks.
There has been tendency to await u ntil
the new administration shalt defini ely
declare its policy on some Of the pressing
questions of the day.
In the early part OF the week the Cleve-
land men made an attempt TO advance
prices upon the strength of the political
outlook and their CO II iience in the flnan-
cial policy. The attempt was successful
in so far as 1t caus n rally and induced
the shorts TO cover. Prices advanced all
along the line, but the decline again set
in as soon as the shorts ceased to fear the
future.
Conditions have not changed. The
bank statement with it's 80 0O0, 900 loss in
reserve, its 5000, 900 loss in loans, ard
l0,00O,000 loss in deposits, is again evil
dence hat the financial affairs OF New
York are being strained. Money yester-
day afternoon reached the high point Of
this year-l5 per cent. The hanks md
bankers of the interior are drawing
money from New York To an extent that
must result in a further contraction OF
loans.
Banks cannot submit to the with
drawal of their gold without calling
upon borrowers for return of money.
The sale Of collaterals inevitably follows.
The prospect of gold shipments next
week Is not encouraging TO the bulls.
Rumor has it today that a big bond
issue will be made shortly and that the
bonds which will bear per c.nt interest
will be sold on the other side on "A 3 per
cent basis. This may relieve the situa-
tion for week or so.
A private le ter to Miller & Vaughan
says: From what we can learn about
the Reading system the floating debt
will probably show up to be about Sl5. :
100000 In what way this money will be
provided for it is hard TO say, buy no
doubt heavy assessment will again
nave TO be placed on the stock.
