pressed, the common losing 2i5 and pre-
ferred Z. The lndustrials were more
affected than the railroads. the move
ment in the latter being confined to mar
row limits except for few stocks. Lac
lede Gas rose conspicuously four points
and Great Northern preferred over a
point. The market seemed rather firm
for time during the morning, but the
persistent weakness of Brooklyn Tran
sit broke through the resistance. Call
loans were decidedly easier again, the
maximum rate not exceeding 80 per
cent, and the majority of the days loans
being made at ) per cent or below, this
did not prevent slight reaction in
sterling exchange rates, in sympathy
with the easier tone of the foreign mon
ely markets, thus dissipating fears of inn
mediately gold exports. Preliminary
estimates of the weeks movements of
money give prospect of a slightly inn
proved condition in tomorrows bank
statement. The disbursements of cash
by the SubTreasury ON account of
Government payments have almost ex-
actly offset it's receipts ION account Of
revenues. But the banks have deposi"
ted at the Sub-Treasury for Geographic
transfer to the interior S1,052,0O0.
So far as the money movement by
express is concerned, the banks are
estimated to have lost less than 1900
80. The heavy outward movement
early in the week has been partly off
set by large receipts later in the week.
This would indicate a loss on the inte-
rior movement of about $2,500,000.
Against this there have been receipts of
$2,S00,000 of foreign gold and about
$150000 by cashing of drafts of the
San Francisco mint of the Sub-Treas-
ury. making Il total of about So, 100000
This would indicate a net gain to the
cash reserves of the banks of over ST.
100000. The banks have further re
duced their loans, so that there is a fair
prospect of moderate increase in the
surplus reserve. The first payment of
anticipated interest on Government
bonds will be made on Monday at the
Sub-Treasury, but the prospects do not
indicate that application will be made
on large scale although this payment
is without rebate.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, October 13.-The temper
of speculation was determinedly bear
ish today and all favorable incidents
were persistently ignored. The react
ionary spirit found it's chief vent by
selling Brooklyn Transit. That stock
was easily the leader of the market in
point of activity, and although the
dealings did not approach the high
water mark Of few weeks ago, the UNI
supported condition of the stock and
the large blocks offered suggested re-
sumption of late conditions. Metropoli-
tan seemed to show acute sympathy
Manhattan was little affected, and the
New York Gas stocks We're firm in
tone. There were some wide move
ments in stocks not usually prominent
but the market as a whole at no time
awoke from a condition of lethargy.
New York Air Brake made character
istic fall of 8 points, and the Flower
group as a whole, except Rock Island,
was notably weak in sympathy with
Brooklyn Rapid Transit. Offerings of
