THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS

The stock market was irregular, but fairly
active with more net gains than losses at the
close An excellent bank statement had little
influence upon speculative sentiment although
II served 10 create further confidence in specu-
lative and investment circles in the strength or
money conditions at this centre and in the coun-
try at large. Surplus reserve increased S4.IO4.-
375 and cash holdings 6S4700 while loans de-
creased 81. 13O. 800 and deposits S4O1SIOO The
changes were larger than generally expected.
and they proved a most agreeable surprise TO
everybody who IS interested in financial affairs
in Wall Street In the last two weeks the banks
have added over S9O0oOOO to their surplus hold
ings over s60GOOCO to actual cash. while in thu
same time they have reduced their outstandin"
loans by over S1SO0o.009. The significance of
this showing as affecting the technical position
of stock market speculation must readily appeal
to the advocates Of higher prices and at the
same time impress the bear traders with the
utter futility of attempting to brighten holders
of stocks into liquidation by arguing that money
is scarce and not available for an acuNe ouil
movement in securities.
Capital is seeking investment. despite the cur
rent dulness in the share market. 1t is in bonds
that the presence Of investors is to be noted. the
dealings in the last week showing a heavy abb
sorption of investment issues and good buying
of speculative issues. whose prospects make
them exceedingly attractive to the operator, who
has confidence in the countrys INDUSTRIAL
growth and a firm belief that the cheap grade
bonds will sell materially above their current
level In yesterdays bond market the transac-
lions were relatively heavier than in stocks
The chief operators in stocks were members or
the professional element, but in the late decline
a number of outside buying orders appeared IN
many issues Exceptional strength was dis
played by Southern Railway preferred Louis

ferred and Mexican Central. while sharp up
ward movements were recorded In Duluth

POLITICS AND NEWS,
Gossip and Opinions Gathered in
the Capital City.

For the first time in the history
of our State the outside world is
hesitating about accepting our
wheat. Minnesota wheat has al
ways been sought in the market,
first, because of it's quality, and
secondly, on account of the recog-
nized efficiency, fairness and relia-
bility of our grain inspection. Ac-
cording to one of the Democratic
dailies in the Twin Cities, the effect
which the recent change in the
State grain department has had up
on the wheat market is gradually
being developed. If the statements
of the leading grain men of the Twin
Cities are to be accepted, the east.
ern market is hating in its
course and hesitates about sending
it's orders to Minnesota. One Of
the most prominent grain men in
Minnesota is responsible for the
statement that while up to August
last year 5000, 900 bushels of grair
had been contracted for at Duluth
by eastern parties for October anG
November delivery, there has beer
practically no grain bought this
year so far.
''The relative difference" he con
tinued, between the price of No
l northern, or what is termed con
tract wheat, between Minnesota
and Chicago and New York markets
as compared with the prices pre-
vailing one year ago, is also q mat
