WALL Street PUZZLED
BY MONEY CONDITIONS
An Increase of Nearly Sixteen
Millions in the Loans.
A Result of the Heavy Demands for
Larger Accommodations.
Business Affected by the Weekly
Bank statemcnt-No Attempt To
Recover Stocks Sold.

New York, June 1.-THE only occurrence
of interest in Wall Street today was the
publication of the weekly statement OF
averages of the associated banks. The
changes shown in it were the largest that
have taken place in many weeks. The de-
crease of $6,S35, 800 in lawful money was
expected because the statement shows the
full effect of the exports of gold at the
end of last week, while those made early
this week account for several days in the
making up Of averages. change that was
not expected, owing TO the low condition
OF speculation upon the stock exchange and
in other markets, was the increase OF near
ly sixteen millions in the loans.
AS the street knew OF no special large
financial transaction that may have been
made this week incidental to the financing
of new industrial enterprises. il assumed
that the increase in loans resulted fIom The
demands of the business community for
larger accommodations, owing to the un-
usual activity in the production and ds-
tribution of staple goods. The changes in
the two items mentioned call for an in
crease in the deposits of about 100000,
or about $500 600 less than the increase re-
ported. The inroad made upon the surplus
TO provide reserve against these larger de-
posits, together with the loss In lawful
money, brings the surplus reserve down TO
$50, 00o, ,00o, which is about one-half of the
amount held by the banks year ago.
In anticipation of an unfayorable bank
statement, the small contingent of the
professional traders who were present dur
ing the brief period of business this morn
ing sold stocks on a small scale, nor did
they attempt to recover them after the
statement was issued. As neither the pub
lie nor any of the larger interests in the
market showed disposition TO buy stocks,
1t was comparatively easy matter for the
advocates of lower prices to depress QUO
tations fractionally. The iron and steel
stocks sustained the greatest net losses,
partly because of realizing in Federal Steel
common upon the declaration of a divi-
dend upon # yesterday, and also because of
uncertainty as to the declaration of divi-
dend upon American Steel and Wire next
week
The shares of companies affected by the
strikes in Colorado were in better demand
on reports that the troubles in that State
may soon be adjusted. There was some
buying of the anthracite coal stocks on the
belief that the anthracite industry viii be
favorably affected by the change in owner
ship of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
The market as whole was very dull
hence little significance can be attached to
the days fluctuations.

The local stock market has been as dull
comparatively at the New York exchange.
The number of sales has been small and
the range of prices has undergone few
important changes. 1t is believed that the
business of the coming week will be larger
than has been the case for several weeks
before on account of the distribution last
Friday of the several millions of dollars
by the Stevens Crosby-Lieb syndicate.
This money received by the former owners
of the Metropolitan and the Columbia rail-
road stocks is sure to be invested largely
in other local securities. 1t will doubt
less be the case that a part of the sum
will go into real estate, but the larger part
will naturally return to the same class of
investment il had before. Brokers are
talking of the prospect of higher prices
during the coming month in consequence
of this factor. as well as that of the July
disbursements of dividend and interest.
Mergenthaler Linotype and Washington
Gas are spoken of as likely to reap large
part of the benefit from this investment

New York, June 17.-Reports regarding

states that rains have been general, and
that they have been beneficial in almost

The past week on the stock exchange has
been the dullesI of the present year. Day
after day has passed with no business
from the public and little from the market
leaders. The room traders have bought
snd sold stocks within narrow limits and
in small blocks. apparently afraid TO ven
ture Oh either side. Friday was the small
est full day Of the year and yesterday was
the smallest Saturday. The range OF prices
for the week has been downward, but III
0 very small way, SO that the level at
fhe close yesterday is very near the level
of the Saturday previous. A number of
stocks show small gains for the week. the
factors OF the present situation are most
interesting. Some dullness at this time
Of the year is to be expected, especially
when the weather is as hot as it has been
on several days recently. But this does
not explain entirely the deadness Of the
market The real meaning of the situa-
tion, II il could be ascertained, would
doubtless carry with il something OF a
foreshsdowing of the probable next move
OF the market The bulls and the bears
each have their theories.
The facts in the situation about which
there can be no doubt. may be summarized
ss follows: Railroad earnings are in
eressing rapidly every week and every
month The statement OF the Financial
Chronicle" for the month Of May is TO the
effect that 129 roads show an increase in
gross earnings OF 4.46 per cent, and an
tncrease in net earnings Of 7.73 per cent
This showing, IL will be remembered. is
made more remarkable by the fact that
last years May earnings also showed a
very large increase in both the gross and
the net The gross Increase of May. 1888.
over the same month in 1897 was 1876.
and the net was 1858. The industrial
companies are more prosperous than they
have ever been before in their histories
The iron and steel trade, which is regarded
by many the index OF the business OF
the country, is phenomenally prosperous
These following prices quoted for last
week on iron and steel are indicative of the
entire situation. Steel billets sold for
t3l.50. against s27 last month, and against
sls-75 last year. showing a gain OF over
100 per cent for the year. Southern pig
sold for SIC, against $3.50 last month. and

One OF the groups OF securities that have
attracted most attention after the Flower
properties is the anthracite coal stocks
Mr.. j. Pierpont Morgan has returned from
Europe and as a consequence the coalers
have been most active and buoyant. 1t
is difficult 10 say how much OF the ad-
vance in the prices of these stocks on FRI

and how much to large buying. but the
assertion is made by careful people that
Morgan interests were to be detected as
buyers. II is quite certain that the visit

Much interest has been manifested in
the common stock of the Federal Steel
Company during the week on account of
the declaration of the dividend of Ia per
cent. 1t may be said in brief that the
stock advanced during the early part OF
the week and declined after the dividend
had been declared, as is usually the case
Neither the advance nor the decline was
due TO anything more than manipulation
by the professionals. Flower & Co, and
other large interests have been quiet buy
ers OF the stock al all times. but they have
apparently paid little attention TO its i'm
mediate fluctuations. The statement made
heretofore regarding the condition of the
iron trade is of particular significance in
its bearing on the affairs of the Federal
Steel Company. The Federal Steel con-
cern is one of those that owns its own
mines as well as manufactures its own
steel, and II thus secures all the profits
from first TO last in its business. II Sc
cures the profit on higher prices for ore.
the profit on pig iron at SIG ton, and the
profit on steel billets at sSl.50 a ton. This
company was formed and profits were ex-
pected when prices were much lower than
they are at present Its earnings at the
higher level of prices are beyond ques-
ton tremendous.
