Operations In the security market to-day re-
manned intensely dull and wholly professional.
with prices generally lower at the close. Trad
ers sold In expectation Of further gold exports
next week, but losses. a rule, were small. and
total transactions amounted to only 1906
shares The London Exchange was closed ow-
ing to the May Day holiday, that local traders
were forced to shape their dealings after their
own IDEAS and in the absence Of any favorable
development prices under professional control
naturally declined The weekly bank statement
published to-day showed no noteworthy changes.
The heavy movement of money to this centre
this week about offset the large payments on
customs account and losses through gold ex-
ports the holdings OF lawful money Of the as
ISOLATED banks decreasing only S110J00 Loans
Increased S9S4.50O and. deposits Increased
S2079,100. the result Of all the changes being
a decrease in surplus reserve OF S34o2o 10
S4S917 625. against S22944,215 in the CORE
spending week last year, and S2I,238,oiJ in the
same week in 1895 The heavy gold exports
made yesterday did not figure in this weeks
statement to any extent. owing to the system OF
averages employed in making up the statement,
otherwise the large loss by the banks to the
Sub-Treasury on gold and customs operations. as
shown by the Sub-Treasury statement for the
week ended last night. would have been re-
fected in heavier losses in bank holdings. fe-
garding the gold movement to-day's import
statement for the week throws considerable
light upon the situation, general merchandise
and drvgoods showing an increase in value over
the preceding week Of over 100000. and an in
crease over the same week last year Of S6,515,-
426 Tie merchandise exports from this port
for the week ended April % amounted to

TORONTO. Dec. 2.-The competition
between the Canadian Pacific and
Grand Trunk railroads for business into
the Klondike next spring Is likely to
lead to a war of rates between the two
great lines. The Canadian Pacific road
claims a differential on western busi-

making a reduction in fares equal to
this differential. The Grand Trunk road
at once met the lower rates Taking
the rates of the Grand Trunk as a ba-

president will be seen less frequently
ut that church and will attend services
more often elsewhere.
