The bank statement yesterday showed gain

The Wall Street spectators who believe in
the law OF averages say bull movement IN
stocks is due They say the market usually
moves In one direction as whole for four or
five years at a stretch They point out that the
market went down from 1872 to 1877. up from
1877 to 1881. down to 1885, up to 1S9O-'92 and
down to August. 1896.
Since the latter date they say. the market has
been readjusting itself for a rise. 1t is argued
that prices are very low while there have been
great liquidation and practically suspension
of the creation Of railway securities. The for
eign trade situation has turned heavily In favor
OF this country, precisely as 1t did prior to the
boom OF 1879

The export movement OF wheat has been re-
sumed on a large scale. The purchases In the
last week for export were 100000 bushels. The
movement began in August. but was checked
about the middle Of November. because the price
had got above the export limit For another
thing ocean freight rates had climbed up to al
most a prohibitive point They were siXpence
