MONEY MARKET FACTORS.

The local and European money markets were
firm at unchanged rates, except in call money AT
this centre. which trife easier. Monetary
conditions, both at home and abroad continue 70
occupy the leading place in financial discussion
and to restrict active operations in the securities
markets. Europe is doing everything in It's power
to keep its gold this fall. while the natural ten
dency OF the international exchange market is
slowly moving in the direction Of gold imports at
New-York. There is nothing that Europe can do

only possible thing that will prevent reduction

in activity rapidly that there is good use for
funds all over the country, and the movement or
money will naturally he In the direction OF the
point where rates the best. Many holders OF
high priced bonds may be induced 70 sell their pos

wholesale liquidation of this sort, the stock market

THE ANTHRACITE STOCKS.

The anthracite coal stocks are well held. and a
substantial rise in market values Is likely 10 take
place whenever bull speculation becomes aggres-
sve. Coal trade statistics are encouraging, and II
Is believed that the fall and winter demand for
anthracite will be greater than in any past CORE
spending periods The advance in the price OF
coal on July became effective on August |, while
on September another advance OF DC a ton is not
unlikely. Coal companies apparently expect an
active autumn demand for anthracite, as out
ports being well stocked and shipments Of coai
10 the West are heavy. II is we'll bear In mind
that prosperity in general business means much 10
the coal companies, and ii is also well TO remember
that the anthracite coal roads now working In
harmony. owing to the concentration Of control
that has developed in the last few years. Delaware

before enjoyed I'm the OF its history. Lacka-

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

The dealings in yesterdays stock market were
light but prices strong in the greater num-
Der Of issues with substantial net gains at the
close Despite the fact that money market un-
certainty is restraining operations In stocks an
aggressive bear party is unable TO depress prices
beyond the limits Of temporary and insignificant
reactions II vet remains to be seen whether or
not the money market will rule high enough 10
brighten small holders into selling or attract
liquidation from people who may be disposed TO
use their funds in the loan market instead or IN
securities owing 10 the difference in interest
Yield So far. however. there has been little
selline-save that Of professional operators-as
result Of the uncertainty over the monetary SIT
,ation Holders margin appear to be well
satisfied with their possessions while they eX-
press the utmost confidence in their ability ana
determination TO withstand possible temporary
xetbacks.
The tenacity exhibited by owners of stocks will
be a difficult obstacle for the shorts" TO over
come and unless they can get the better Of 1t
the chances Of lower prices will not be brilliant.
As far as the money market is concerned. there
is no danger OF a lack Of funds for speculative
transactions If Wall Street is willing to pay good
rates the banks being in better condition than
represented by last weeks statement, and the
country as a whole being we'll supplied with
funds for every one who is really anxious to Sc
cure accommodation. The local bank reserves
are TO be increased by gold from the Pacific
Coast. while It is now evident that gold imports
will soon begin. An active money market with
stiff rates NAV confidently be looked forward TO.
and while the quotations Of some Of the high
priced stocks may be readjusted to the advance
In money rates the prospects do not favor any
material decline IN securities in general. Con-
ditions governing actual worth are too promis-
ing to admit Of an important depreciation In
market values, while at no remote period these
conditions must exert their legitimate influence
as speculative and investment factors
The market yesterday was one Of specialties-
In few stocks decided activity was noted, but
as rule little was doing. The anthracite coal
issues were leading strong features, while spe-
cisl movements were noted in Kansas City,
Pittsburg and Gulf. North American and Min
neapolis and st. Louis second preferred. A
slightly easier tendency in call money encour-
aged a more bush sentiment among traders.
but there was no important outside buying The
afternoon dealings were heavier and prices
showed decided strength. especially In Sugar Re-
fning. the local traction shares, Peoples Gas.
