Meu Xrkls Financial Condition.

NEW YORK. Sept THE Financier says;
The statement of the New York clearing banks
for the week ending September shows, as
had been anticipated, loss in surplus reserve
due TO operations with the treasury and the
interior. The decrease in money held above
legal requirements aggregated about % per
cent and as there is no reason to expect a
different statement for week or two TO come
the outlook favors frmer tone in money The
banks have apparently reached a position
where they cnnnot expand their business, and
South attains considerable proportions con-
fractions in outside standing commitments are
inevitable The loans of the banks have been
reduced steadily since the opening OF July, the

The result of these Contractions, however. as
reflected in excess cash, is seen in an enlarge

for money needed 70 the crops. still,
the outlook IS not as dubious as might be In
ferred. The interior institutions are much

what may be expected II rates show tendency
to rise beyond a reasonable figure. At this
time last wear the reserves Of the New York
present and fell to four and a quarter millions
on September 4, but month later owing
largely TO gold imports and treasury operations,
the excess reserve had risen to about twenty
millions. The movement of money to the West
this year will probably be much less than last,
but in any event the method of recuperation
then employed is easier Of accomplishment
now The principal feature in the current state

Ne1U York Stock Market.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-The stock market was
intensely dun throughout to-days short ses-
sior and net changes extended beyond fractions
only in rare instances. AS the bears had sold
the market short in anticipation OF the bank

when IL appeared. closely conforming TO esti-
mates created a demand, relieving the market
OF It's early depressions and brought prices in
most cases above yesterday level. The fact
that Monday IS a holiday had the effect Of
keeping stock transactions at a minimum. The
report OF death from yellow fever In New
Orleans and the Texas quarantnes caused
weakness in the railroads in the South, also
in Illinois Central, Brooklyn Transit and Ten
nessee Coal Republic Steel stocks and Ameri-
can Tobacco led a rise before the bank state
n1ent came out In contrast 70 the sudden
outbreak yesterday of activity in Nanderbilts.
there was only a single sale in the first hour
OF Northwestern and Omaha, the latter at
gain OF point. New York Central did not
appear on the tape at all until the second
hour Kansas and Texas seconds became ac-
tve in the late dealings and advanced l per
cent.
The stock market has shown the effects this
week OF prodt-taking by the organized pools,
which were active last week In advancing the
prices Of certain railroad stocks. Those stocks
have suffered most acutely, but the whole list
has shown an increasing disposition TO sag.
