MONEY MARKET FACTORS.

Money market conditions will not be changed by
to-day's bank statement. far as rates are con-
cerned At least higher rates will not follow the
change in bank holdings, despite gold exports. The
increase in cash holdings and, unless loans
have been largely extended. there ought be
crease in surplus above legal requirements On
amount of money. but the loss this account and
on gold shipments than offset by gain
from the interior. The movement of money from
the interior the noteworthy feature of the
week 1t is believed that receipts of currency
from of will offset the gold exports this
spring. Sterling exchange firmer yesterday
and foreign houses figured upon further shipments
of gold to Paris by next Thursdays steamers. No
gold taken for to-day's steamers Money
rates continue easy with little business doing.

The ST Louis Southwestern Railway Company
is making marked progress In It's business and is
spending large amount of money toward placing
the road in position of physical excellence Earn
ings for March show a slight decrease in net reve

but for the year from July the net earnings have
been well In excess of the time in the proceed

pany has expended 100000 in improvements
since July /. while 1t has realized from the sale
of second hand material $4,000. which does not
appear in the regular statement of earnings printed
else where. Any concentration OF railway interests
in the Southwest will involve the St Louis South

been quietly picking up the company's securities
lends color to the belief that important develop

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

Trading in stocks light in volume and
without important price fluctuations AS a rule
quotations were firm and higher on covering of
shorts, but. with only a few exceptions final
changes mere fractional advances. The
day lacking in developments affecting
speculative sentiment. and the firmer tendency
of values due more to oversold condition
of speculation than to a material increase in
holding Of long stocks. Substantial interests
not likely to work for an active rise in prices so
long the public shows such a decided in
clinaton to remain out Of the market, but
meanwhile the first named element is not count
ing upon selling its holdings at current quota
;ions. Disappointed weak commission house
traders are gradually getting out of stocks
their security possessions passing TO the
counts of people who are in the market for
long pull as the situation may require. Liqui-
dation of this character is not important, and
il strengthens rather than weakens the specu-
latVe situation.
Current duness in stocks does not foreshadow
a steady decline in values. Not a few careful
operators believe that the present stagnation in
speculation will be followed by lively upward
movement based upon technical market condi-
tions. easy money, sound business conditions and
increasing confidence in the result of the years
political campaign. Wall Street is entirely too
blue for the health Of the bear element While
where the wheels of industry and activity are
moving around without important check Wall
Street will wake up some day and find the
silver lining in the clouds. Ii will Danish bear
talk and bear operations, and live in the light
of conditions that making record breaking
commercial and financial history. Heavy
hearted observers should read the report just
issued by the country's wonderful growth in eX-
ports of manufactures, the statement of the
of in cira he NJ
railroad earnings and various other works of
literature is not fiction.
The movement of money in the week does not
indicate a bad bank statement to-day, despite
heavy gold exports in the week, Some traders
thought otherwise, however, in yesterdays early
market, and in consequence tried to depress
values. Results were not important and sell
ing was offset by covering purchases in the
greater number OF issues. In the afternoon the
entire list advanced on small dealings, closing
prices being at about the best of the day. A
feature of the dull trading the quiet buying
by several houses that usually operate for the
Nanderbts and other important interests. a
comparatively heavy demand for bonds was
also noted. Active bond markets generally pre-
cede active stock markets. Traction shares
well bought, and covering continued in the
Steel issues. American Car and Foundry Sc
curities were again in good demand. In the
late dealings Long Island stock over four
