Stocks-The temper of speculation
was determinedly bearish to-day and
all favorable incidents We're persistent
ly ignored. The reactionary spirit
found its chief vent by selling Brooklyn
Transit. That stock was easily leader
of the market in point of activity and
although the dealings did not approach
the high water mark of a few weeks
ago, the unsupported condition of the
stock and the large blocks offered sug.
gested a resumption of late conditions.
Metropolitan Street Railway seemed to
show acute sympathy. Manhattan was
little affected and the New York gas
stocks were firm in tone. There were
some wide movements in stocks not
usually prominent, but the market as a
whole a.. no time aWoke from a condi-
ton OF lethargy. New York Air Brake
made characteristic fall of 8 points
and the Flower group as a whole, ex-
cept Rock Island, was notably weak in
sympathy with Brooklyn Transit Of
ferings Of Sugar and Tobacco were
greater than could be absorbed and both
stocks showed sharp net declines. The
American Mating stocks were acutely
depressed, the common losing 21a and
preferred Z. The industrials were more
affected than the railroads, the move
merit in the latter being confined to mar
row limits except for few stocks. La
Clede Gas rose conspicuously four

rather firm for time during the morn
ing, but the persistent weakness Of
Brooklyn Transit broke through the
resistance. Call loans were decidedly
easier again, the maximum rate not
exceeding 51a per cent, and the ma
jority of the days loans being made at
5 per cent or below. This did not pre-
vent slight reaction insterling eX-
change rates in sympathy with the
easier tone Of foreign markets, thus
dissipating fears of immediate gold eX-
ports.
Preliminary estimates of the weeks
movements of money give prospect of
a slightly improved condition in to-
morrow's bank statement. The dis
bursement of cash by the sub-treasury
en- account of government payments
have almost exactly offset its receipt
on account Of revenues. But the banks
have deposited at the sub-treasury for
Geographic transfer to the interior
81 ,052,000. So far as the money move
ment by express is concerned the banks
are estimated to have lost less than
81 500 900. The heavy outward move
ment early in the week has been partly
offset by large receipts later in the
week. This would indicate loss on the
interior movement OF about $2,500000
Against this there have been receipts
of $2,S00,000 of foreign gold aud about
S750,000 by cashing of drafts of the San
Francisco mint on the sub-treasury
making total of about $500 GOO.
This would indicate net gain to the
cash reserves of the bank of over
81 900 600. The banks have further re-
duced their loans. so that there is a fair
prospect of moderate increase in the
surplus reserves. The first payment
Of anticipated interest on government
bonds Will be made on Monday at the
sub-treasury, bat the prospects do not
indicate that application will be made
on large scale although this payment
is without rebate
The bond market was moderately ac
tive and price changes were mixed.
