MARKET NOTES.

Predictions of a bad bank statement
To-Day are generally current.

standard Oil crowd had marketed bic

lington and B. r. T. being conspicuous
| IN this regard. Dearer money and an
impairment in the crop outlook in the
corn belt are supposed to be the consid-

money next week causing liquidation of
copper.
Bulls in Iowa Central claim that the
completion of 81 miles of new road will
put the company in position where its
gross earnings in the current fiscal year
will be at least 81, 100000.
The Boston market was duh and
heavy yesterday morning. Selling orders
were numerous
small currency has not been so scarce
IN this market for a number of years.
Boston banks have applied at the sub
treasury for gold certificates to date to
the extent of between s.. 900 600 and
$4,O0009O. The sub-treasury has about
$ll 100000 of gold in its vaults.
AtchlSon railroad directors have pas
SEQ upon the annual report, which will
be issued within a fortnight. They say
the report will be a very conservative
statement, showing large expenditures
on the property charged to operating
expenses, of a nature which most roads
would charge TO construction account.
They also say that all indications point
TO a continuation of large earnings.

Ripley and Chairman Walker, who have
been over the property recently, speak
very hopefully of future prospects for
the property. Unless unforeseen diff

first of the year.
Secretary Stearns of the Boston stock
exchange in his statement relative to
the listing of the Mayfiower Mining Co.
says The copper bearing lodes have
been discovered on the Old Colony lands

they all cross. The company has done a
little exploration work, and several OF
these lodes have been uncovered One
Of them is said to be very rich The
company's expert, Lucius L. Hubbard
says, at the conclusion of his report
In the foregoing I have tried to show,
not that you have in the Mayfower a
property of proved value, but that the
geological position of that property with
reference to the Old Colony is such that
your hope is not unfounded of finding

Stocks.
LIQUIDATION IN COPPERS.

The Transvaal crisis was the ruling
influence in financial affairs yesterday
and the weakness in London was re-
fiected in early Wall street dealings,
while efforts to find a market for sever
al of the Boston mining stocks result
ed in sharp depression in the prices of
the same.
British eonsols were off quite sharp
ly. with the Rand mining shares natur-
ally much depressed Speculative in
terests were much concerned over the
cabinet meeting yesterday, fearing a
British ultimatum and war The cab
met decided on another conference,
which relieves the immediate tension.
although postponing the decision as to
peace or war and leaving the crisis still
more time in which to make against
values in the security markets Also

view of the forthcoming Dreyfus YER

spite of foreign influences, for the mon
etary situation is not a serious factor
at the moment. Money is active and
banks are somewhat discriminating as
TO nature of collateral, but this is no
new feature. Money is worth more
than year ago, like most all promi-
nent commodities, and it is not OBJ
tanned so easily for booming of
stocks, which is not a bad condition by
any means.
When the British cabinets decision
was made known. Wall street stocks
improved and at p. m. the average of
leading stocks was but "a lower than at
the close Thursday. After selling off
1llA, Tennessee Coal & Iron rose ia
11515, and most of the prominent stocks
as well as the standard shares rallied
well from early depression. There was
free buying in many of the leading ac-
tive specialties-Suga Brooklyn Tran
sit, Federal Steel Colorado Fuel and
others. but towards noon the selling
became pronounced and the whole list
fell to the lowest. with declines reach
ing to several points in some cases
Covering and the news from London
aided a general recovery after the noon
hour.

mining stocks, mainly those of the So

artificial regulation of our currency
system. How far the injury from
these restraints will be further devel-
oped under the present conditions. it is
difficult to definitely indicate. It
seems only too possible that some in
terests may suffer, which, under freer
conditions, might safely and properly
be accommodated. The nature and
causes of the stringency are not sug-
gestive of early relief and make urgent
appeal to congress for the earnest con-
sideration of these credit and currency
questions.
At this, the middle of the week. the
stock market shows an upward ten
dency owing to the belief that the ten
sion in the money market had reached
the highest point. and that for some
time to come excessive rates would
not be obtainable. Bankers, however,
anticipate full rates until after Jan
dustrial activity assuring a brisk de-
mand for funds from regular borrow
ers. Good rates will exercise a whole
some restraint upon speculation, with
out which the incentive to take danger
GUS risks might prove irresistible. Some
Of the preferred shares of the indus
trials with their enormous earnings
appear very tempting to the average
operator. but the over-capitalization
and innate weakness of many of these
combinations are fully understood,
and, fortunately for the stability of
the stock market, the outside public
have been exceedingly cautious regard
ing them, and only fraction of these
new securities have found their way
into the hands Of small investors. Rail-
road shares still offer the safest and
surest opportunities for profitable pur-
chase. Earnings continue, phenom-
enalIy heavy. and trade conditions rem
der it certain that the present period
Of prosperity will continue for some
time 10 cOme-a year if not longer.
Confidence of this sort is emphasized
by the recent immense orders placed
for nails and equipment by shrewd rail-
road managers. who by training and
position are able to see farther into
the future than ordinary observers.
Very likely expenses will increase con-
siderably, so that those who entertain
over-sanguine expectations OF increas ed
dividends viii b. disappointed; but
there is still strong prospect that
some Of the non-dividend payers Will
be placed on a dividend basis before
many months. and such securities must
undergo further important advance.
The best class OF stocks and bonds are
still high; some Of them have already
discounted increased dividends; yet
they are more likely to appreciate in
value than to fall in these times. Facts
are largely on the bull side Of the mar
ket. Still, accidents may happen; so
operations must be conducted with
more prudence than in the rise of last
spring. Gold imports are unlikely this
