Government bonds irregular.
State bonds inactive.
Railroad bonds weak.
Stocks-A general disposition to ilq-
uidate in speculative holdings was
manifest in the stock market to-day.
Early in the day some general strensen
was manifested which was due prlmar-
ily to the higher quotations caDieo
from London and which was aided py
strength in special stocks; put the
growing stiffness of money and the
total absence of any outside buying
demand discouraged the bull element
and they were sellers of the whole list
as the day advanced. The weakness OF
stocks was very well distributed. ex-
cept for the special collapse in leather
and affected all departments OF the list.
the declines in the industrials and spec
commitments for the long account in
those stocks were larger. There was
very heavy selling throughout the
railroad list and large number of
prominent stocks in that department
show net declines of point or up
ward. In the specialties the average
runs between l and points for the
leading stocks. An exception should
be made of the iron and steel stocks,
several of which offered good resis-
lance to decline. Steel and wire and
American Hoop were examples. At
tention was almost wholly centered in
the money market outlook. The con-
tinuing demands on the New York
banks are regarded as foreshadowing
a still further decrease in the proper
ton of cash reserves in the next bank
statement. The emphatic utterances
by treasury officials against the policy
of any further measures of relief by
the government dissipated the hopes
that were prevalent in Wall street yes
friday. AS the banks have lost already
to the sub-treasury something like
100000, since last Friday, the at
titude Of the trade is important. Ship
ments by the New York banks to their
interior correspondents are reported to
be on as large scale as last week.
New York exchange at Chicago fell
again to-day to 10 cents discount com
pared with 10 cents premium at the
opening of the week The continued
expansion in the interior need for
money and the absorption by the treas
ury by means Of the surplus in the
revenue is met by the calling in of
loans placed in the stock market on
stock collateral There was sharp
fall in sterling exchange to-day, prob
ably due to the firmer local money
market and partly to an increased
supply Of cotton bills which are now
coming forward in larger volume. But
the weekly statement of the Bank CT
England showing progressive decline
in the proportion of reserve to liabili-
ty precludes the hope of relief from
that quarter. The recuperatioh shown
by the Bank of France in its weekly
statement relieves the apprehension Of
an immediate rise in that Institutions
rate Of discount; but this is a small
palliation Of the generally hardening
tendency of the worlds money mar
kets The closing of the stock market
was easy and near the low price of the
day for most stocks. An incident Of
the day was the demand for silver GER
tiflcates at sharp advance.
The bond market was weak in svro-
pathy with stocks. Total sales par val
lie s2,530,000.
