A GENERAL FINANCIAL REVIEW
BASI< STATEMENT MORE UNFAyoR-
ABLE THAN EXPECTED.
NeDrly All the stocks Closed Lower
Complications in the TrarsvanI
Had Some Influence.

New York, May 6.-The weakness which
pervaded the stock market today was ac-
centuated by a bank statement much more
unfavorable than expected The surnlus
reserve fell off over $4,000, 900 and the loan
account showed the largest expansion this
year, increasing over $4,000. 900. Specula
ZION was very feyerish with no important
news influences save some agitation over
the possibility OF European complication
over Transvaal affairs London figured
very slightly in the days transactions.
Expressed opinions OF certain railway Of
Metals that some decreases of earnings
IN May might be expected induced selling
OF the grangers for Western account and
tney showed average declines of over a
POINT. The coaler3 were weak The iron
and steel shares were also weak. Consoli-
dated Gas, which gained 10 points. was
about the only feature OF strength in the
list The feebleness O. rallies and the
seeming absence OF inside support discour-
aged many holders who threw over long
STOCK and the market closed weak
The outcome of the weeks speculative
contest was decidedly in favor OF the re-
actlonlsts. While the general situation re-
malneo practically unchanged with in
terror mercantile prosperity, the frequent
recurrence CT unfsvorable incidents
dampened Spectators optimistic views.
Call money at one time during the week
touched 5 per cent, but the ruling rate
vas about half that figure. All classes
OF railways reported some gain in March
earnings over last year, but more recent
statements display irregularity.
The bond market during the week did
not fully reflect the extensive liquidation
in stocks, many issues showing consid-
cradle strength. Prices in the main shad-
go on irrregularly with business contract
ing on sales.
