BONDS.
THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS

In yesterdays short business session stocks
were strong and moderately active Shorts
cred throughout the list while fair commission
house demand was noted. Higher prices for
American securities in London, the declaration
of Il = per cent dividend on Tennessee Coal and
Iron and a much better bank statement than
had been expected served TO strengthen prices
while they encouraged the belief in many circles
that quotations would work higher tomorrow
and throughout the week. The market was
strong Saturday a week ago and on the Satur-
day preceding. but the following weeks were
not marked by any noteworthy Improvement in
values. But precedents are not safe TO follow
in stock market trading, especially in the pres
ent instance, as conditions governing specula-
ton apparently beginning to work in favor
of better prices Local bank conditions have
been restraining factors In market operations
Continued loan expansion and cash Withdrawals
have reduced surplus above legal requirements
from S30OcOOO0 a few weeks ago to S26S6, 425
in yesterdays statement; but fortunately a turn
in the tide Of the money movement seems at
hand, as the factors inducing heavy loan ex-
pansion have been succeeded by operations that
foreshadow loan contraction And the loss in
cash is likely to grow steadily less for the period
Of heavy Treasury receipts, which are taken in
great part from this centre is nearing an end
A large part OF the enormous gain In loans in
incident to Government bond refunding A de-
crease of over 81 100000 in loans in yesterdays
statement reflects that such operations have
been eliminated loan market factors, and 1t
is therefore safe to assume that current liza
bilities will be steadily reduced for some time
TO come. OF course the building up of the sur
plus through loan and deposit contraction can
not be rapid unless cash losses are succeeded by
gains, but there is good reason to believe that
the decrease in cash last week marks the end,
fer the present at least, OF heavy Withdrawals
of money from the local institutions. Interior
exchange New-York is beginning to turn IN
favor of this city. and it is confidently expected
that the local big holders Of Government bonds
will soon become heavy sellers to the interior
for bank note circulation purposes. In this
case a large amount of money will move this
way. The heavy accumulation of Government
bonds in the last month has not been made en-
tirely for bank note circulation. The local
banks not likely to take out a much circua-
ton as recent operations in bonds would sug-
gest and the sequel of these recent heavy trans
actions will doubtless be found in the sales of
Government bonds for speculative profits, rather
than in new bank note circulation at this centre.
The usual weekly table OF price changes for the
more active stocks follows:

CONDITION OF TRADE.


Trade advces a whole cheerful. and the
strength OF values is apparently undated though
some soft spots" still present themselves. y
prominent feature this week has been the increase
in strength OF values of farm products. nearly all
the cereals, pork products and cotton advancing.
while ma terials for manufacture and the products
thereof have generally remained steady I'M
changed. 1t seems evident that the weather and
features for some time come. The cotton goods
market has strengthened. and number of ad-
vances are reported this week. but except at West
ern distributing centres, the business done has
is tendency believe that the high point has
been touched, and until retailers have disposed of
of their supplies the outlook IS for continued
quiet and dulness at first and second hands.

new business has not been very large. Some low
grade pig iron has been moved at concessions. BY
the taking OF orders for Bessemer pig at Pittsburg

more inquiry export account. Except immedi-
ately in Chicago, where the ideness of many thou

chlnery and kindred trades the Western iron sit

sibe that false construction may be upon
the reports that 5000 miles of road pro-
jected. The heaviest mileage ever built in 1887
1t is. of course. safe say that nothing like as
large a total will be built this year Is reported
projected. more particularly new railroad build
ing now will be largely a matter OF extensions Of
existing lines rather than the building of roads
Structural material is in better request and some
very large contracts will shortly be placed.

MOVEMENT OF MONEY CHANGING

quirements reduced to S2,6S 425 last week 1t
generally expected that the surplus of a week
ago would be followed by a deficit in yesterdays
statement, but timely contraction in loans and
deposits offset about one-half of the decrease in
cash of $685. 100 a week ago surplus decreased
S.965175, against s2SS9,950 Yesterday, and a week

begun improve. The outlook is better than it
a few weeks and few days ago. Do

of this city. Bank loans decreasing, and cash
holdings have the best prospects of increasing
Money was nominal at 8 per cent yesterday. The
money market Is not yet In position that

EXCHANGE MARKET FACTORS.

An authority the foreign exchange market
makes the following points on the exchange and
money situation:
From 81 SO to 81 s6h week ago demand sterling
had by the 18th declined to 81 ssh to S4S55s.
From this point, however It rallied again 81 S5
Thursday and yesterday. Long sterling and Con-
tnental bills huctueted in about the proper
ton. but while we knew of no particular cause for
the decline OF last week. the decline Of the
week is sufficiently accounted for by the higher
money market which ruled here this week.
The supply Of commercial bills continues fair.
though hardly in of what the normal de-
mand should be at this season of the year II it
was not kept back and remttances withheld by our
high money market. The higher money rates seem
to be mostly due to the preparations made by the
now existing National banks and the hundred and
fifty or two hundred new ones in course OF for
nation all over the country to avail themselves of
the new Currency law and the facility offered to
them issue 500 in their notes against every 500
