duce-Review Of Trade.

New York. May H-There was a very
obvious disposition to-day in speculative
circles to leave the stock market alone
pending the development of the next move
of the Spanish and American squadrons.
The outside interest in the market was
small. The depression on the London
stock market caused selling here for Lon
don account, which caused depression.
London's quiet feeling was due to the
plain speaking of the British secretary of
state for the colonies, Mr.. Chamberlain.
ton against Great Britain. Apparently
no account was taken by dealers in secur-
tiles on the speakers assurance that in
PREVENTION In favor OF Spain would Got be
assented to by England. All turned on the
expected news of Admiral Sampson and
the depression in London would probably
not be valuable In a purely sympathetic
way. but American securities offer a par
ticularly good market just now, so that
foreign holders were glad to realize on
them. The consequent losses in the inter-
national stocks decided the tone of the
market. Offerings for London account
were well absorbed In spite of the pre-
vailing dul.ness and prices were lifted
above the London parity.
The strength of sugar on the advance of
prices of the product and the favorable
bank statement and hardening prices in
the second hour wrought a few net gains.
Fractional net losses were the rule at the
close. Tn latter part OF the week has
been a reaction in the stock market but
the last prices are still substantially above
last Saturdays except i'm some of the spe-
cialties. Net gains range from a fraction
up to four points.
The demand for money from the inte-
rior has practically ceased and some
bankers report that they have received
shipments of currency from their out-of-
town correspondents. Deposits have in
creased over 81. 900, 900 and the loan and
cash reserve has expanded so as to more
than keep pace. Rates for time money
went to 5 and s per cent. for periods as
long as three months. Call loans were
made at 3 per cent. and there is a demand
for mercantile paper at 5d619 per cent. 1t
is evident that financial institutions all
over the country feel themselves amply
provided for to meet the demands of Gus
toners in subscriptions to the new gov
rnmen bonds If issued.
Naturally gold has ceased to come from
abroad. Exchange has risen to 81. S51b per
pound sterling. and is being held instead
of drawn. as the money commands a high
rate abroad. The country's money supply
has been vastly expanded and with the
return of confidence and extension of
credit there is a likelihood of a great in
crease of industrial and speculative ac-
tivity.
The bond market has moved in SYM
pathy with stocks the latter part of the
week, showing some reaction from the
earlier strength and activity. L. s.. new

of cash. The movement to the Interior.
which has been a constant fact for weeks
past. is almost, II not wholly, at an end.
and the probability of an early bond issue
has brought banks to the point where
they prefer to put their money to use
rather than allow II to lie idle. The gov
eminent continues its heavy disburse-
ments and gold imports are also adding
to the stock OF money I'm sight. The whole
outlook, therefore, favors an easy mar
ket, not only here, but elsewhere. The
expansion In loans Is a favorable indica-
ton of better business conditions and
while some of the increase reported for
the week Is due to stock exchange activ-
ity, there is more doing In mercantile.
so the banks have not been slow to in
crease their investment In this line at
rates considerably under the quotations
for some time past.
The national bank reports now being
made are expected to show unusually high
reserves held by the interior banks. and
this will he important in determining the
course Of money for the rest of the sea-
son. In New York the banks have fallen
OF heavily In principal items. but I'm Chi
cago and other cities gains seem to he the
rule. A reflex movement to this center,
of course, will demoralize the market. but
once II Is known that a bond issue is not
to be made for some time to come such
a movement Is bound TO follow. The bust
ness conditions throughout the United
States are more favorable. however. for
the use of n great deal of money than is
otherwise idle capital hee.
The gains in deposits for the week were
made in a great part by four or five of
the leading banks and the large increase
is also traceable 10 them. but the causes
operating to procure them will be soon
reflected In other institutions with results
not at all difficult TO foresee.
