NEW YORK. June 95-Thc bear OPP
orators among the professional traders
became somewhat discouraged over the
events OF to-oay's short session. and
engaged In something like scramble
to cover outstanding short contracts
In the closing dealings. An unfavora-
BILE bank statement had been counted
upon by this element to further de-
cline. To-day's statement. while It
cannot be called favorable one. was
not az weak as had been foretold. and
when the bears started to cover shorts
after Its publication they found that 1t
had brourht slight offerings TO sell.
Prices were marked up quite suddenly
in some cases to the highest point of
the day. making the closing quite
buOyant In tone. The banks loss In
cash reserve was not as large by over II
million dollars. as had been estimated.
and the further liberal expansion OF
more than 100000 In loans indicated
the faith of banking authorities in the
money outlook. Who are the borrow
ers OF this large amount OF money Is
as much mystery us was the In
crease last week. Il has certainly not
gone Into the stock market speculation
during the week. One suppOsltlon Is
that the gold that has been going
abroad goes In the form OF actual loans
10 foreign institutions. This would help
to explain the mysterious action OF the
exchange market In the face OF the gold
shipments. which has failed to reflect
any yielding under offerings OF bills
against the shipments.

ity in the face Of the most reckless
cutting OF rates. Evidently, our rail-
road system is reaching position at
which 1t Is getting the mystery over the
reckless financing upon which It was
originally founded, and Is becoming one
OF our best and most stable sources OF
Investment. In proportion Us this
chnnge comes to be understood and ap-
preciated. railroad stocks will rise to q
range Of prices unpnralleling the quo
tations for their bonds. The perception
OF this change lies at the busls OF that
growing stability OF value which gives
to the market for railroad stocks such
an intrinsic strength under the most
trying conditions; and this factor may
be trusted to give support to the gen
eral market against possible testing
conditions arising from the new in
fuences indicated above. $s
The continuance OF gold exports
$500. 900 having been engaged for ship
ment during the week-shows that the
specie wants OF the European banks
have not been satisfied by the previous
remlttances of s7.5OGOoO. The unusual
lowness Of the reserves OF the Bank of
England appears to be the main cause
Of the movement. Only twice, within
the last fifteen years. has the reserve
been so low In June as It is now. The
bank might, under more assuring cir
cumstances. have worked itself Into n
stronger position gradually: but with
the threatening conditions In the
Trnnsvaal and in France and its lInbil-
lily to be called upon for gold in connec-
ton with foreign loans the manage
ment seems to have no recourse but to
get gold by purchase in foreign mar
kets: and this appears to be the expln-
nation Of Its demand for American
eagles. We can. however, well afford
to satisfy the banks wants. Our stock
OF gold Is superintendent and largely
consists Of idle boards; and we could
quite easily part with so0.OOO.OOO with
no worse result than imparting a tonic
effect to tlabby money market.
