THE MARKET ELSEWHERE

New York, Sept. 29.-The tone Of the
trading in stocks was quiet in COMPARE
son with the recent excited temper on
the exchange. But the local traction
stocks continued to reflect decidedly
uncertain frame of mind BROOKLYN
Transit refused to 60 up more than a
point. and then slipped below last
nights level. Its extreme decline was
8 points and even with final rally on
covering by shorts, its net loss was
3 points. Metropolitan Jared better

York city stocks fell off in sympathy
with Brooklyn Transit, and the stocks
In the Flower group were inclined to
weakness all around.
There was no marked strength at any
time. The early advance was nominal

in some quarters abroad that the
Transvaal question would find a
peaceful solution, after all. Earlier
gains had been very generally wiped
out when the bank statement appeared.
The first effect Of the statement was 4

plus reserve figures. An analysis of
the statement failed to develop any
very encouraging feature in it, and
prices fell away again to the lowest
Of the day, and closed there, except for
a few specialties which rallied. The
banks are stronger by wider margin
Of surplus reserve than last week. The
statement is so far encouraging. But
the surplus still stands at so low a
figure as to leave the banks little mar
gin for extending further credits.
Moreover the statement discloses the
forces of depletion still at work. De-
crease In cash is somewhat less than
had been anticipated. The outgo was
greatest towards the end of the week.
SO that the full decrease may not be
shown under the system of averages
by which the statement is made up. But
the decline IN cash is sufficient, II con-
tinued at the same rate next week to
bring the surplus down again to near
the legal limit. and thus necessitate a
further contraction Of loans.
Counting this weeks reduction of
s17.S66.500 in loans, the total loan con-
traction by the clearing house banks
since August 26, aggregates Ss4 S64. 800.
