BONDS.
THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

Continued strength marked the course Of
stock values yesterday. Prices were sustained
by buying for the account Of substantial inter
ests, by pool operations and traders transac-
tious for a rise. Commission house business
was not large, but brokers reported somewhat
better inquiry from their customers. while bear
spectators were not inclined to be aggressive.
The bear element has been aggressive in thought
and word in the last week, but values have
steadily advanced in the face of developments
OF an unsettling character. Street sentiment was
favorably impressed yesterday by the bank
statement and by the belief that the Chinese
situation was materially improved. Bull pools
were active in their speculations, and good buy
ing was reported in a number of standard
shares and in the cheap stocks that have an
assured future. The steel securities were strong
features; also the local traction shares in which
net Improvement was generally shown. Sugar
Refining was again a leading active feature, but
its closing price was well under the best of the
day, owing to heavy realizing sales. Southern
Pacific exhibited conspicuous activity, but else
where In the general railway list transactions
were not heavy.
Wall Street sentiment was heartily encour-
aged by yesterdays weekly bank statement
Changes from the preceding week reflected
growing strength in local monetary conditions
and the successful efforts of the banking COM
munity TO prepare bank holdings for possible
emergencies. Loan contraction is under way.
In view of the large outstanding loan account
Of the local banks, the resumption OF gold ex-
ports and the approach Of the time when de-
naand for funds in connection with the move
nent Of crops will begin, the reduction in loans
is a most favorable development. cash In
crease Of So, 793, 900 IN the week was shown in
full IN the gain in surplus, while a reduction in
loans OF So 3S1 900 and a decrease in deposits Of
S1,315 100 helped TO swell the surplus, which
now stands at S240S1 800. against $12O55, 600
IN this week year ago. In about week the
cash holdings Of the city banks will be further
Increased by the transfer Of credits from the
Pacific Coast on account Of gold receipts from
the Klondike and Australia. Gold is on
the way from the last named country. and it is
expected that imports viii amount TO at least
S10000O00 within the next two months. New
York Sub-Treasury checks were mailed to
Seattle last Thursday, but 1t will take week
at least, except in the case Of emergency, be-
fore gold will be paid out here Seattle ad-
vices.

more active stocks follows:

EXCHANGE MARKET AND WAR.
c. Schumacher & Co. say:

With exchange back to the highest figures
ruling during the period of late gold shipments
was not surprising to find shipments resumed this
week. Thursday French steamer took out 81, ,O40,-
600. bringing the years shipments to date to 500
100000. More gold would probably have been
gagged for to-day II the steamer had touched a
French port Paris it seems, is still the only mar
ket in which a profit can be made. 1t Is all very
unnatural to find gold shipments resumed at this
season of the year, but more curious than to
find China-the hollow giant-n the belligerent and
defiant attitude which it has lately assumed toward
Its foreign invaders. A such as this unex-
pected as 1t was is likely to become a bloody and
protracted one. which will strain the resources OF
the Western Powers to the utmost Under the
circumstances predictions are impossible particu-
larly as to the probable course of exchange here

THE STATE OF TRADE
"Bradstreets" says:

Improved crop conditions furnish the keynote Of
the trade and price movement. As a result of
them nearly all staple agricultural products are
lower In price. and at the same time perceptible
liVening up OF demand for fall delivery is noted 4
the West Northwest and South The beginning
or ran trade Is consequently more clearly visible
in the sections mentioned. while at the East the
markets are slower to experience this Improvement
ana are, consequently, seasOnably dull. Bank
cearings as yet fail to reflect any perceptlbe i'm
provement In distribution, and railway earnings
though OF large volume, are. owing to Comparisons
being made with exceptionally good results last
year, showing less notable increase both in gross
and net returns. Increased of repairs better
mcnts, fuel and wages are unitedly responsble for
this latter feature because receipts for latest
periods reported show continued. though small
gains N--'''--'

AMERICAN CAR AND FOUNDRY ORDERS.

Reports that certain railroad companies have
cancelled orders for with the American
Car and Foundry Company without foundation.
The Southern Pacific Company has just placed an
order for 1000 freight with the American Car
and Foundry Company at prices which show no
reduction from the established level The Ameri-
can Car and Foundry Company has not found 1t
necessary to reduce prices in order to secure or
ders, and despite the lighter volume Of general
business throughout the country, earnings are
maintaining the ratio of gain which has been such
conspicuous feature of the company's business In
the last fifteen months The profit from foundry
work large. Car and Foundry securities have not
shared to any extent in the current upward move

their market value have been failures. holders
