THE STRAIN In WALL STREET.
Trading Facilities oNcr,aSed and
Prices Tend Upward.


New York, Jan. 2S.-The closing of the
week in Wall Street brought with it a gem
eral feeling of relief, for It has been a
period of unusual strain upon everyone,
and particularly upon those who have had
10 transact the enormous business done on
the Stock Exchange. Within the last five
and a half business days there have
changed hands. according 10 the record
furnished by the stock ticker. over 1000,
600 shares of stock. The dealings in bonds
have been approximately S37. 500 600 par
value. Present indications are that the
public will continue to deal in the Stock
Exchange on an extensive scale for some
time 10 come, and the Street will have 10
adapt Itself in various respects to larger
volume of business than it has been ac-
customed TO handle.
The weekly statement of averages of the
associated banks was somewhat surprising.
The largest estimate of the increase in
cash published yesterday or this morning
was about s.. 500 000. The statement shows
an increase of more than three times that.
The greater part of the increase is in
specie, and includes over 81. 800, 900 in gold
received from the Pacific Coast. AS was
the case last week. the banks have sue
ceeded in employing only part OF the law
full money they have received. Still the
increase in loans is larger than in any week
since the beginning of the year, being
81. 600 900
The increase in the deposits does not
reflect accurately the two changes noted
by about 81 ,000, 600. Less than half of
the increase in lawful money is required
for reserve against the larger deposit,
and in consequence the surplus reserve
is increased over $4,5OO,OO0. to nearly
$50. 80. 600.
The opening of the stock market was
irregular with strength predominating
and under the leadership of Sugar Re-
fning. Northern Pacific, Southern Railway,
and Pacific Mail. higher prices were re-
corded for nearly the entire list. The
advance as usual, invited profit-taking
that was not without effect upon prices.
The professional element as for several
days past, showed a disposition 10 play
the short side of the market.
In the last half hour the course Of
prices was changed again. largely by the
character of the bank statement In con
sequence, all of the stocks named above
closed materially higher than yesterday
and fully half OF the list closed frac
tionally higher. The closing was in the
main strong

A REACTION IN WHEAT.
Heavy fluctuations and Little Bust
ness In spot Grain.

Chicago, Jan. 2S.-There was the heav-
lest liquidation in wheat today since tho
rally started. There was not so much out
side buying and the cash news was against
the price. From The top price there was
a decline of / 3-4c. and tonight's close was
3-4c under that of Friday.
Liverpool was 1-sG1-4d lower. Paris
was particularly weak on -four. Gables
estimated the Australian exportable sur
plus at 5000 600. and Australia showed
$4,000 bushels shipped for the week. Cash
people said that prices were so far out of
line that it was not possible 10 interest
anybody In spot grain.
The worlds shipments are expected to
show about 6,200,0 bushels. There will
be a decrease on passage and possibly a
slight increase in the visible. Minneapo-
lis puts the -four sales Of yesterday at 75,-
600 barrels. Seaboard clearances were
III 900. The West is to have a severe cold
wave tomorrow, but snow is also pretty
generally predicted. The market has re-
acted &c from the top.

The Northern Pacific stocks were par
ticularly strong yesterday in the face of

common stock had a clear advance for the

A careful survey OF the situation makes
the attractiveness of the granger stocks
greater than ever TO conservative specu-
lators and investors. Wheat has advanced
in price more than 10 cents a bushel dur
ing the past month. People who know the
wheat situation thoroughly. and also the
Chicago wheat exchange, predict that the
price will be even much higher within
a few weeks. The srangers have exhibited
during the past six months the largest
earnings in their histories. Each week
and each month the increase over CORE
spending periods in recent years has been
in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
ST. Paul, Rock Island, and Burlington are
understood all to have been earning at the
rate of 10 per cent or more. This increase
in the price of grain makes future earn
ings assured on the same tremendous scale.
II is certain that both st. Paul and Rock
Island will increase their dividend rates.
1t is certain that with this increase there
will be for the present year a large surplus
for each road. The especially attractive
matter in the Burlington situation is the
certainty that the refunding scheme can
not now long be delayed. This refund
ing plan Will mean something between /
and . per cent for the stockholders II is
understood. The Burlington statement is
sued yesterday shows an increase OF
the surplus account for December
of $4,000. The grangers at the
close OF business yesterday had not
advanced in price during the week After
the six days of comparative Inactivity there
is every reason TO believe that they will
be taken up again. The legitimate level
OF these stocks, in comparison with for
mer high-price periods in their histories.
is at least 30 points above the present
level.

The bank statement was received on the
floor OF the exchange with an immense

surely prove to be an accurate index Of

among the professional traders now, and
there are many of the bull cliques that
undoubtedly are selling short on good raj
lies. Despite these inimical influences, il
IS here suggested emphatically that all the
great important factors in the situation
are bullish and that this week is almost
sure TO show a continuance Of the upward
movement of prices with undated zest.

The steadily increasing price of wheat,
corn and cotton will be one of the great
bull factors in the situation this week.
Wheat futures are now selling at nearly
so cents a bushel, and there is every ind
cation that this price will soon be reached
and passed. Corn is increasing in value
correspondingly and cotton even more rap
idly This means that the farmers will sell
the crops they have been holding for the
higher prices, and that the grapgers and
the cotton carrying roads Will profit i'm
mensely. 1t will also insure good rates
during the coming months And this
means that the magnificent earnings state
ments of the past six months are to he
kept up and even passed. Taken with the
general trade conditions reflected in the
trade reviews, could anything be more
promising than this array of facts? Could
anything be more suggestive of a contin-
uance of the bull market? Technical con-
ditions are all now that the market has TO
contend with. 1t is believed by the most
conservative observers OF the market dur
ing the past week that these conditions
cannot, under any circumstances now like
ly to develop, cause anything more serious
than such a recession of prices as occurred
on Tuesday. There may and probably will
be such reversals Of the current for short
periods, but they will act as the safety
valve that will prevent any dangerous dis
turbances.

With such 4 statement it is idle TO suggest
