The Financier's Review,

New York. Aug. 6.-The New York Fl
nancier this week says The statement of
the associated banks of New York shows
rather heavy changes for the week ending
Aug. s, oans having increased S12. ~. LOO
and deposits si5.37i 500. The gain in cash
for the week was 81. S3l. 400 and the surplus
reserve has fallen of about 2.000.O 900 ow-
ing to the increased requirements due to
the expansion in deposits.
The statement seems To show as much
as anything else the progress of the re-
cent financial operations of the Great
Northern railroad which has increased its
preferred stock by 81. coo. 200, of which
sl5,oo0.00o Is issued TO stockholders at par
for cash to retire the outstanding collat-
eral bonds and $40. GO0.O 600 in exchange for
the stock Of one of the leased lines. which
had been previously distributed as a stock
dividend The Chase National. through
which this operation has been transacted.
shows "A gain OF more than So, OO0,OO in de-
posits and its cash holdings have also
expanded more than si.000, 600.
The National city bank accounts for
more than "A third Of the total increase
and has lost about the same i'm specie. The
deposit gain seems to be confined for the
most part To the larger banks. hut in
loans an increase runs rather well
through the list.
The remarkable activity in the bond
market last week has probably operated
to produce some of the changes in the
current exhibit. The banks are still gain
ing from the interior and little. If any.
rediscounting is reported. The season for
this Is now close at hand. and while u Is
not anticipated that the movement will be
heavy, IL is interesting to note that the
surplus reserves Of the banks are now be-
low the point reached last year at this
time.
The decrease in surplus reserves be-
tween July and October, 1897, was at least
$3.50 600, bringing the excess above re-
quirements to "a little more than Si3. 0O0.-
900. In the last six or seven weeks the
New York banks have reduced their re-
serves more han S22. 600. 600 and nave not
begun to ship money to the West. OF
course this decrease Is due to bond pay
mcnts from all over the country, which
have reduced balances I'm New York. The
government holds heavy deposits In this
center, so that what might be called avail
able and permanent bank money Is not
as heavy as has been estimated. But that
anything approaching a stringenCy. or
even long-continued hardness. is out of
the question. Gold imports would check
the latter In any case.

NEW YORK STOCK REPORT
Digest of Exchange News-Mlnine Stocks
Metal Quotations-wool Prices and
Movements-Grain and Pro-
duce-Review OF Trade.

New York. Aug. 6.-The tone of the
stock market to-day continued very
strong and confident. The stream OF mon
ey flowing into stocks and bonds showed
a steady augmentation. The movement OF
large contracted wealth which took the
initiative during the week continued. and
the following thus invited showed an in
crease.
The two hours session of the stock ex-
change was full of business and the de-
mand was eager for a large list of stocks.
The preference is decidedly for the as
sured dividend-paying interests as yet.
but it was influenced by the possibilities
in some cases of dividend increases and
showed a tendency also to overflow into
non-dividend paying stocks on which
there is a fair prospect OF further divi-
dends by reason of the growth of the
companies earnings.
The granger continued the favorites,
but Burlington fell slightly into the back
ground to make way for 81. Paul and
Rock Island, the former rising an ex-
treme 1s and the latter Ia points. Deal
ings in these stocks were very large. 1000
share blocks frequently changing hands
to the powerful speculative leaders who
have chosen this group of stocks TO ope-
rate on first because of the dominant in
nuence II exercises on the whole of the
list.
Considering the weeks rise in prices,
the firmness at the close was remarkable.
The traders are prone to outstanding
contracts and take profits whether on the
long or short side in anticipation of a
sunday interval. but no disposition was
shown TO sell out to-day. The heavy eN-
pansion in loans shown i'm the bank
statement is mostly due to the awakened
stock exchange activity. The net increase
of something more than Sl.500.O 600 was
largely from interior receipts. the sub
treasury's daily debit balance being still
offset by payments on the loan account.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-Wheat started very
strong, September opening at from 67iu
SIC against 67hW67asc, last nights close.
There was no appearance OF any increas,
I'm the movement Of wheat and Liverpool

Chicago received 11 cars against l25 a

ceived IS cars against 15S last year.
Atlantic port clearances Of wheat and
flour for the last p hours amounted TO

Corn received assistance from the

weather was acting kindly TO the crop
and II was clear that such Of IL as had
not been ruined past redemption must
be rapidly improving. After the FIRST half
hour the price gradually worked on,

Oats were firm early but remained so
only as long as corn showed strength.
There were only a few buying orders
from the country. and all were filled ear

A light run of hogs and the strength In
grain started provisions firm. After the

practically to sleep until the noise with

ercise. The net result was that the clos
ing prices of to-day and yesterday were
substantially the same.
