trade. 50 that in spite of the replenishmen
OF banking reserves going on at all three
%centers, there Is increasing employment for
money.
In these circumstances the foreign money
markets have shown themselves very sensi-
tive to the heavy downward tendency OF
both sterling and continental exchange at
New York based on offerings of exchange
bills in the market against coming ship
ments OF grain. Evidently IL has entered
into the calculations of foreign hnanciers
that money would be so abundant in this
country that we could afford TO lend the
credits established by our export move
ment of merchandise. The low state of
New York banks reserves arouses some
anxiety as to whether It will not be neces-
sary to call home our credits, which would
force sales of securities to avoid shipments
hither of gold. New York banks lost cash
all Through July and only built up the sur
plus reserve by a loan contraction amount
ing to over $3i, 10000. New York merchants
are selling their paper In other domestic
markets and New York waits with some
anxiety to know what demands the interior
will make upon 1t for n TO move the
crops.
The activity in the bord market has been
greatest in the speculative issues, which

Lot with n Costly Lien.

Chicago Inter Ocean: A mortgage OF
$40, 900, 900 on a tiny town Tot is rarely re-
corded in real estate annals. The city of
San Jose, Cal. has within its limits a little
patch of ground which has actually borne
an incumbrance of these stupendous proper
lions. The story of this lot is the story Of
an unpaid note. Away back in 1851 David O.
Vance. its owner, borrowed from Jackson
the sum of $1,000, at the then current
rate OF interest of 8 per cent per month,
to be computed monthly. security being the
real estate and its improvements. The note
is yet unpaid. One day Mr.. Vance disap-
peared. He couldn't take the lot with him,
so that the small section of the earth has
gone on eating its head off, as 1t were, ever
since. The note and mortgage, after the
manner of such things, made its way
through the courts in proceedings and fore
closures, and in the next dozen years the
81, 1900 grew like Jacks beanstalk. A return
OF safe finally showed the total amount due
the man to whom the note and mortgage had
been assigned, Morris M. Wise, in round
numbers, that included interest, costs and
Sherif's fees. S2l, 900, 900.

MOVEMENTS of STOCKS AND BONDS
Some Disposition to Advance Prices
in the Early Dealings.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-There was MOI
much doing in the stock market here to-
day. The half holiday on Saturday takes
away many active operators on holiday
trips. The London exchange was closed
and Will be again on Monday, thus sub
tracing an appreciable factor in the usual
activity. Nevertheless, the days dealings
show a fairly accurate reflection of specu-
fatiye opinion in general conditions.
There was some disposition to advance
prices in the early dealings on account of
the uniformly favorable reports of business
in all branches contained in the weekly re-
ports of commercial agencies. But this very
condition Is a factor in the anxiety over the
money outlook, which again dominated sem
Gieatlon of the weekly bank statepent.
Money is in such large demand hat the
e sEeatiS su SUPPLY ply for Tbs speculative SsnE uses Is
all Expectation.

the market closed weak and lower ali
around. The stock market Indicated dur
ing the week a disposition to move upward
but was restrained by several conditions
most notably OF which was the continued
anxiety over the future of the money mar
ket, The money rate throughout the week
held stifiy at about 4 per cent. In spite of
the elements of doubt and the absence of a
majority of big operators and leading spir-
it's on vacation trips, business has shown
a notable increase over last weeks figures
and the average level of prices is higher.
This is most notably true in the industrial
stocks on account of the great activity and
prosperity in all kinds OF business, espe-
cially the iron and steel industry.
Events In the financial world continue TO
shane themselves toward n hi0bar af for
money for some time to come. There is
evidence dhat In the general tide of pros
psrity the extension of credits in some
quarters has been on so liberal a scale as
TO draw down reserves below the point of
sufficient security from a conservative
standpoint. Thus the Bank OF England and
THE continental banks have been struggling
TO replenish their bullion reserves. The
London money markets loans in Germany
are being called home. The liquidation ia
seems TO be going on safely
enough, but the London wlthdra walls keep
up the Berlin money rate. Government
statistics both in Great Britain, Germany
and France show a large expansion OF

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-DRY GOODS-The
usual half-holiday dizziness has prevailed in

principal undertone of the market. These

run of hogs, but at the opening Of the

The early sales were mostly of the choice
light and butcher weight loads, running
up to medium weights of good quality.
These hogs generally sold a little stronger
than yesterday-that is, at S4.45 largely-with
a few at $4.47ha and $3.50.
A little later on the market slowed up
under the influence of a reported decline
closed lower. The packers did not want
to pay over $4,000. 421a for the heavy pack
ing hogs.
The hog market this week has been in
pretty good shape in spite of the fact that
the break in provisions the early part Of

day the average price paid for hogs was
1872, but on Tuesday the market dropped
steadily rallied and at the close of the week
was more than 10c higher than it was at
the opening of the week. Representative
