REVIEW RE ] OF MARKETS.
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Stocks, Money, Exchange. Bonds, Grain.
Cotton, Provisions. Etc.

New York, Feb. 10.--The movement
OF prices in the Stock Exchange had
little significance to-day as operations
were largely confined to the closing up
of contracts by the professional ele-
ment. There was continuation OF real-
izing sales at the opening, in spite of
the tranquility with which the latest
news from South Africa seemed to be
accepted by the London market. The
rally In the market after the bank
statement appeared made 1t evident
that part of the selling had been for
short account in anticipation of an UNI
favorable statement.
The rally did not mean necessarily
that the statement was considered fav-
orable, but simply that the bears de-
sired to cover their short contracts be-
fore the two holidays pending. There
was rather acute weakness at times in
st. Paul, Missouri Pacific, Western
Union, Burlington and Sugar. The
. movement Of prices was rather cratic,
but the net changes of the day are
small and mixed with the majority on
the side of losses. The closing OF the
market was strong at the rally on short
covering. AS a matter OF fact, opinion
on the bank statement was confused
and perpleSed. The enormous loan ex-
pansion caused ama2ement In no
single week during all OF last year did
the loan expansion reach $4,000, 600. In
the week ending February 4. last year,
loans were increased $15,15i,4 400, due to
the active 1otatIon of new Industrial
commercials. then in full force This
compares with S21, 162. 400 increase this
week. Since January /, loans have been
increased $44, 496, 900, compared with an
increase of S33, 1890 in the correspond
Ing period of last year. when specula-
ton and company Notation was in full
tide. It Is suggested that some of the
deposit accounts, which passed from
the banks to the newly organized trust
companies during the course Of last
year, are now coming back to the
banks There is nothing in the regular
course of business or Speculation to ac-
count for the recent great extension in
the loan item of the Clearing House
banks. Returns of bank clearings by
telegraph for five days to the Financial
Chronicle show sharp falling Off ut
the four principal Eastern cities, and
increases at Chicago and ST. Louis I'm
considerable proportion. while at New
Orleans the increase over last year
is nearly l6 per cent At other
places the increase ls over 10 per
cent. The Increase In the Souths is
doubtless due largely to the activity in
the cotton market and is suggested OF
the future demand upon New York for
funds from that section. But the clear
Ing house returns only serve to perplex
theSproblem of the phenomenal loan
& expansion OF New York banks
The business In bonds has been on a
fairly large scale and the tendency of
prices has been somewhat mixed.
