The stock market today was not entirely
satisfactory to the bulls, although the close
was a trife in advance of the low prices
for the day. Contrary to the general ex-
pectation there was heavy selling during
the entire session. and drop all over the
list, which looked at times much like the
break of last Tuesday. The business of
the early morning was apparently a re-
flection of the general expectation that the
bank statement would not be as favorable
as last weeks. At half past IL o'clock
there had been declines averaging a point
or more from the close last night The
bank statement when ii appeared was,
therefore, a great surprise. In every way
it was magnificent, rejecting a continu-
ance OF the tremendous flow of money from
the interior and not in the least an abnor
NAL increase in loans. The figures follow:
Reserves increased s453s, $50. Specie in
creased s6,411, 500. Legals increased ST.
POI 400 Loans increased 5000, 600. De-
posits increased s12 500. 400 Circulation
decreased s7S9, 500.

Inc Guil0Ok IOr next week may on the
whole, be considered good. 1t seems prob
able that there will be a good opening
and advancing prices on Monday as a re-
suit OF the great bank statement, but the
course of the market after the first buy
ing by the public is more in doubt. The
selling today looked at times if the
bears were getting ready for another on
slaught. The bulls, however, look for
ward with the utmost confidence, point
| ing confidently to the plenty of money and
the continued increased earnings.
There were tips out before the opening
that the grangers were to come again into
favor. but the session did not disclose any
| thing of the kind They were all sold OFF.

| its loss at the close. The grangers look
| to be good buy on Monday if the mar
| ket is to be a good one.

were especially active during the entire
session and their prices were marked up
