Tie ending OF the week IN the Stock
Market was not nearly SO interesting as
the beginning. At times business al
most at a siandstill, and the changes of
prices during the entire session were of
fractions only for the most part. The
tendency was downward, what there was
OF it, realizing of profits and some short
selling making the pool bidding inenec-
tive. The bank statement was q good one
better than had been expected by any
one-but it caused only slight and tenn
porary advance which was lost again be-
lore the close The market during the
latter half Of the week has lad a tenden~
cy toward lower prices, and the violent
upward movement OF Monday is nearly
ali lost, and in some cases more than losr
1t is interesting TO surmise what is to be
the complexion of the market during the
coming week, but nothing like a Dredic-
ton is worth much. On the whole some
further decline is perhaps more TO be ex-
pected before the advance is resumed. An
other decline which may be OF more i'm
poTtance is looked for in election week.
The bank statement showed d good in
crease in cash and larger increase IN
follows: Reserves increased S3,GS4I25
leans decreased 81 AGA 600 specie increes-
ed S2,279.5 SEQ, legals increased S44 $50, de-
posts increased So, 04l, 300, c.rcufa ton in
creased SIPS, 200. The gain IN cash is
probably to be explained ~ receipts CT
gold on The Pacific Coast last Saturday,
as the known receipts from Europe do
net nearly account for the figures The
beginning CT good bank statements IS a
cheering sign. II is not in the least like

The news OF the morning was meagre
as business was. The choice of the presf-
dent Of the Southern Railway, announced
this morning IN the street, was generally
considered to indicate that the Wander
bits have an important interest in the
affairs Of the system. Southern Pacific
stock will probably be given a dividend
in December. The stock was fairly strong
this morning. but made no gain.
Sugar was errattc and closed the day
with little change from the close of yes
terday. There is a general expectation .
that an important move is TO take place
in this stock in the near future, but there
is no foundation for 1t that can be discov-z
cred. except that 1t is due to make some
kind OF move according TO all precedents
Sentiment regarding the stock is extreme
ly varied.
There is a tip" to buy Pennsylvania
stock for large advance in the near fu-
ture The stock is worth much more than
It's present price in any active and advanc-
ing market without any tip
Atchisen securities held their own fairly
well. The statement of the company show
ing such large increase in both gross and
net earnings was well received. The
earnings of the common stock are fully
per cent, and reckoning in earnings and
dividend prospects the preferred stock is
worth quite as much as Rock Island
1t is said in some quarters that an extra
dividend on Louisville and Nashville Is
likely. The stock has not had any particu-
lar advance as yet and it is believed by
some careful people that it Will be taken
up next by the cliques
