In excess Of requirements by law.
NEW YORK, Jan. 9.--The Financier
house banks Of New York city for the
week ending Jan. 9th is more effective
argument In favor of an immediate low
money market than columns of theoreti-
ca discussion. The ENORMOUS increase in
deposits and in cash holding have been
equaled only once and that was for the
week ending Nov. nth, succeeding the
election.
These gains. It is needless to say, were
the result of the January dividend pay
n-ents, the continued flow of money to this
center and the large increase in savings
deposits. AS there Is no outlet for this
money. the usual winter gold exports hav-
ing been postponed. the total cash gain
appears much larger than during any pre-
vfous year. The expansion of deposits, un-
accompanied by an increase in loans as Is
usually the case also shows clearly the
source of the accumulation and the result
of the weeks operations has been to in
crease by $40, 7Ji,5 500 the idle cash in New
York banks. bringing the total excess re-
serve up TO A3, ,99l, 450, which Is larger than
Tor two years past. 1t is only logical,
therefore. to look for continued low
mney market and higher rates fir foreign
exchange, the conditions favorng both cir
cumstances. 1t was from almost similar
causes that the large sterling loans were
made in this market recently. and if the
money rates abroad go higher. as appears
probable, some interesting developments
may be expected.
he large gains reported for the current
week were foreshadowed in this analysis
not long since but the very great increases
have surpassed all expectations, and ii be-
comes interesting, therefore. to watch how
the banks will endeavor to employ some OF
their surplus funds and whether Europe
VIII not endeavor to benefit through the
opportunity presented.

WALL STREET SPECULATION
The Stock Market Closes Dull With
Prices Lower
The Weeks Business Has Been Small.
Money Market Strong, With Good
Demand for Safe investment.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-The stock mar
ket was dull today and so far as the
usually prominent stocks were concern
ed the fluctuations were narrow, with a
tendency toward a lower level. The
course of prices was influenced by profit
taking. In the usually inactive special
ties some noteworthy fluctuations oc-
Cured in specific cases. In addition to
the realizing the market was affected
by selling for arbitage account and the
bear contingent, as usual in u dull mar
ket. sought to force liquidation for effect
on the general list. The general market
was sustained momentarily after the
publication of very favorable bank
statement showing an increase in sur
plus reserve of $40 704, 500. Toward the
close, renewed pressure forced prices to
the lowest points. The market of the
week has been dull and unprofessional,
and the movement OF prices irregular.
At the outset the speculation was unfa-
vorably influenced by the financial and
commercial disturbances in the north
west and by selling OF our securities Cor
foreign account subsequently the i'm
preston that the Cameron resolution
had been practically shelved caused a
more confident sentiment, which was
heightened by more favorable railroad
earnings and the decided strength of the
wheat market The last consideration
brought the granger stocks into favor.
The exceptionally large accumulations
OF funds at this center resulted in an
improved inquiry for and decided
strength in railway and miscellaneous
securities for investment. The most
important development of the week was
the action of the directors of the Della
ware and Hudson Canal company at
their meeting on Wednesday in reduc-
ing the rate of dividend for the year 1896
from per cent to s per cent. The mar
ket started out weak, but a firm Under
tone prevailed as rule, in spite of real
izations. and compare tive prices. gem
orally speaking, show improvement. The
fluctuations in foreign exchange eXcit-
ed some comment. owing to the strength
exhibited, due to an increased demand
for account of large commercial inter-
ests, which eventually forced out hoard
ed exchanges. The aggregate sales were
707, 1893 shares. The bond market today
displayed increased strength Sales
were $707, 900. The chief declines ranged
from l to per cent. The weeks mar
ket was exceptionally strong and act
i've, rejecting the large amount Of mon
ey seeking employment. Ihe advances
in the active speculative bonds were
mainly fractional. with the Kansas and
Texas issues leading. Material improve
ments occurred In the sales and bid
prices of gilt-edged bonds. The .aggre-
gate sales We're $7.6l5,000. Government
bonds were very dull but closed higher
on sales of 100000
