The market was again dull today with
little movement in any quarter, and no SEN
sations even of mild character. a few
securities, including Northern Pacific COM
mon, Union Pacific, common, Pacific Mail,
Burlington, and Federal Steel, common,
made fair advances, and there were no de-
clines except in the Tobacco issues, which
showed marked weakness. The bank
statement was waited for during the early
part of the session. but when it appeared
Its fair increases were not sufficiently at
tractive to cause any enthusiasm. Money
ruled easier, the last loaning rate being
per cent. Earnings statements were all
excellent. The outlook is considered good
for next week, with the certainty of a pros
perity message from the President.
The bank statement must be considered
good though many had expected a larger
increase in the reserve. The fact that
loans increased heavily accounts for the
smallness Of the reserve increase The flg-
ures as follows: Reserve increased 81 ,SSi
500, loans increased S. ,523. 400. deposits in
creased $40, coo, specie increased $3,-
303, 900, legals increased 81, III, 600. circula-
tion increased $1,000. 1t will be seen that
the surplus reserve is now about $780,
600. There is still a good sum to be re-
served from the Government as purchase
money on bonds before the entire $25, ,000,-
600 asked for are received, and the Street
Is inclined to believe that next weeks
statement will be at least as good as that
made today. The experts state that there
is apparently no danger Of exports of gold
at this time on account of the Bank of
Englands increased discount rate.
Pacific Mail was advanced, as had been
predicted, on the expectation of some
thing favorable to the company in the
message. 1t went above AZ, and closed
with a good net gain. The fine prosperi-
ty of this company. and the certainty that
its business will increase rapidly, are ex-
cellent bull arguments in themselves, but
IL the subsidy bill is passed there is i'm
mediately certainty of immense net
earnings for the concern that many be-
lieve will soon recall the era when its
stock sold for 200 and above.
Northern Pacific advanced to 81 3-S, or
within an eighth of the highest price on
record. There was steady buying of the
stock. but nothing in the nature Of a
squirt. Friends of the company say that
this Is exactly what Is desired. The Octo-
beh eSrnings are all that could be desired.

The gossip within the past two days has
been especially favorable to Rock Island.
1t is said that insiders have been buying
it secretly with the Intention Of beginning
an upward movement shortly. The earn
ings are immense and the company has a
magnificent surplus. There will very, likely
be an increase to a s per cent dividend
rate, and even IL there is not the predic-
tions of such action will be well circulated
and probably effective. The stock is now
selling 80 points below Burlington, which
does not seem warranted by the relative
merits Of the two companies.
