dealers in stocks considered the state
ment Of averages made public by the as
ISOLATED banks today unfaNoranie. Bank
officers, on the other hand, regarded the
showing as a petper one tnan anyone had
reason to expect.
To begin with, the statement shows an
increase of 81 ,o42, 900 in LAWFUL money. all
of il in specie. The known movements of
money during the week Indicated de-
crease somewhat larger than the figures
just named. The explanation of what has
occurred doubtless is that money, as was
the case last week, has been transferred
from trust companies to banks presuma-
bly, to be drawn against today and early
next week for interest and dividend pay
ments that are made by the trust COM
panies as fiscal agents for various cor
porations.
The increase of s11, 77S, 900 in the loans
is also due to preparations for corporate
disbursements the first of the month,
which this year are unusually large. 1t
is not a fair inference from the increase
that the stock exchange community is
borrowing any more money than 1t has
been for some time past, but it has doubt
less been compelled to pay off loans due
trust companies and seek accommoda-
lions of the clearing house banks. AS
soon as the disbursements are distributed
there will naturally be a shifting back of
call leans to institutions not members of
the clearing house.
The increase in the deposits is fully &C
counted for by the expansion Of the loans
and the comparatively small gain in law
full money. The net result does not i'm
pair the surplus reserve materially, leav-
ing that item very nearly S11,0o0,oG0. The
outlook for the money market during the
next thirty days seems to be all that
could be desired. The banks are in a
reasonably strong position for this sea-
son Of the year. The fact that the Gov
eminent will suspend the conversion of
bonds at the end of this year will. in all
probability, stimulate the exchange OF old
for new bonds, incidental to which con-
siderable amounts will be disbursed for
REIMBURSEMENT of premiums.
Moreover, reports come from Washing
ton, through channels that indicate knowl-
edge of what is likely to take place, that
the Government will buy bonds to the
amount Of sl0,000,o0o to SIS, 000. 600 for the
sinking fund during the current month.
Still another resource that should not
be overlooked is the amount of money due

cent years. The District company is the
one around which most of the rumors of
consolidation among the title insurance
companies have centred. The stock is
held very closely. one interest controlling
more than three fourths of it. This makes
it possible for this interest to talk bust
ness whenever plans for consolidation
arise. Some of the other companies have
conflicting interests that have never been
brought to see the wisdom of a consolida-
ton. 1t is said that the District company
people still have hope of forming some
combination this winter. 1t is universal
ly acknowledged that there is very little
money in the business at present and that
combination, il it could be effected,
would be an excellent business move.

sold at 50 yesterday on the board and it

vorites with some OF the most important
investors and SPECTATORS. Ii is predicted
by some of these people with great conf
dence that the preferred stock will sell

an assured per cent stock. The Atchi-
son statement for October was another ex-
cellent showing. The other granger Sc

and decrease in gross was surprise OF
the right sort The Burlington statement
was not SO good.

all the week. but has failed again to make
any important movement. Yesterday 1t

that may be the forerunner of bulge
during the coming few days. Many be-
lieve that the stock will be given an up
ward turn before there is any break Of
Importance in the general market. 1t is
significant of the actual low price of the
stock at its present level that 1t did not
tumble when the poor statement of the
company for October was given out Jer-
sey Central has had the largest advance
of any stock on the railway list and is
probably near the top.
American Tobacco was ono of the weak
features of the week until yesterday. but
it regained much of its loss early yester-
day morning. The public is selling the
stock in the belief that it is worth less
since the decision of the Supreme Court
in the cigarette case. The insiders appar-
emily are supporting it. Their object may
be to unload on the public later.
Pacific Mail has not been very salts
factory stock to be in recently, though 1t
regained some of its lost ground in
squirt yesterday. 1t sold down to 40 or
so on Friday, which represents the larg-
est tumble made by any stock on the list
since the boom began. Yesterday it got
back to 40. The fear that the Subsidy
bill will be killed and the talk Of the
probability that the Panama Railway will
not renew its contract when it expires IN
a few weeks have been the causes of the
weakness of the stock. 1t is probably
near the low price now and careful peo-
pie advise its purchase around 40.
The latest story of the bears on Sugar
stock is that another rival refinery Is
soon to be launched. The fact as to this
is not known, but it is fact that no new
company could possibly install refinery
machinery and get into shape to run for
many months. The stock went off point
or two yesterday on this story and seems
likely to advance again if the market is
favorable this week.
The "tip" yesterday was to the effect
that Missouri Pacific is to be the stock
taken up by the bulls this week. The
story was sent broadcast by the rumor
mongers This stock has not advanced
as rapidly as Northern Pacific common
and Union Pacific common, but 1t has
not deserved to be pushed up in price
nearly as much as those two securities.
II it is to be lifted above its present level
1t will be by main strength. There are
few securities in the railway list which
there is less reason to boom.

Capital Traction stock has hung steadily

Capital Traction stock has hung steadily
around 103 in the stock market for many
days There are orders to buy the stock
in considerable blocks a trifie below that
figure, which prevent it from declining.
On the other hand, it is said that a recent
speculative purchaser of 1000 shares at
103 wishes to sell at small advance and
that his stock has probably prevented any
advance. One of the officers Of the Cap
ital Traction made the statement day or
two ago that the October earnings of the
company showed an increase of more than
81, 1000. The November earnings also show
an increase understood to be about the
same as that in October.
The times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1897-1901, 1900-12-02

The gross earnings of 50 railways dur
ing the third week Of November were 49,
SIG. Us. OF these lines 80 show increases
in earnings aggregating Ss2'.l39 and 70
show decreases aggregating 1914, 1884, SO
that the balance of increase was ISL sos,
OF .09 per cent. A total of Sc lines dur
ing the second week Of the month showed
gross earnings of SHOOTS 1853, decrease
of $1,000 or a small fraction Of per cent.
The features of the market during the
past week have been the Southern Rail-
way securities and Chesapeake and Ohio
and Louisville and Nashville. All of these
stocks have made advances, and all have
reached to new high levels better than
ever before achieved. These securities
until, a few weeks ago, had been neg
lected and Chesapeake and Ohio and
Louisville may be said TO have only come
into prominence during the past week.
There is much talk of deals in all these
is sufficient to explain all this bullish-
ness and probably much more.
The Southern Railway securities are
now in much the same position that the
Atchisons were year ago. The outlook
for the present year Is that there will
be per cent earned on the preferred
stock, with something over for the com
mon. The Southern is growing steadily,
and it is entirely safe to assume that
next year 1t will do better than this. Some
of the shrewdest and most important
investors are putting their money into the
preferred stock. The buyers of the com
mon also, are people of standing whose
judgment should be considered an excel
lent guide. AS to actual Developments,
it seems probable that the voting trust
on the Southern may be dissolved in the
near future, for the same reason that
that Of the Northern Pacific has been dis
solved-good times and good management,
placing the company in a strong and in
dependent position. The story that the
or have bought the Choctaw, Oklahoma
and Gulf Railway is not received with
much enthusiasm.
Chesapeake and Ohio has advanced dur
Ing the entire week, and yesterday was
selling at a higher price than any ever
before reached. The advance is one that
has been deserved for some time, but de-
ferred because there was no clique to take
the stock up on its merits. The eomnara
tive quiet OF the past week in The general
market after the rapid advances In other
parts of the list has offered a good oppor-
tunity to recognize the merits of This and
other low-priccd securities. The fine
statement of the company issued drring
the week was taken as a cue.
The Atchison securities have both been
very strong and are both still great ia

tainty. The next movement is the prob
lem. Many believe that technical condi-
tons favor decline before the Inaugural
ton of the second chapter of the bull
! movement of the winter. These people
believe that the coming week is the one
in which such a recession should be ex-
| pected. They point to the meeting Of
Congress and the fact that there is gem
orally declining market in December. On
the other hand there are many people
that look for continuance of the boom
without any decline more than has been
seen already. Intrinsic conditions are
with the latter element, al favorable as
far as can be judged by careful students
OF business affairs. Sometimes, however
the technical conditions are more weighty
for the moment than the real underlying
facts of a business situation.
1t is possible that the Presidents mes
sage may have something to do with the
course of the market during the coming
few days. One of the rumors in the street
yesterday was that this document will
have something unpleasant to say regard
ing the trusts-unpleasan to the trusts
that is-for 1t cannot be doubted that the
people generally would welcome the pros
pect of careful corrective legislation
against the new business monopolies. The
best Information obtainable regarding the
message is that it will discuss the trust
question" but in a way similar to the
Presidents former utterances on this sub
ject. that can be construed to mean much
or little as different people see fit to
judge, but which in reality will bind the
Republicans to nothing in the way of ac-
tual new measures. Such a statement
from Mr.. Mckinley would have little eff
feet on the market of itself. II the ten

bears, and, on the other hand, If before
next Tuesday good buying of securities
develops again and the market assumes a
more cheerful tone, 1t is entirely proba-
BILE that such mild pronunciamento
would have bullish effect.
Railway earnings as they are disclosed
in the weekly statements and in the Oc-
tober net figures given out during the
past week are an excellent bullish argu-
ment. With few exceptions the net earn
ings show increases. These exceptions
are, in all cases, due either to the poor
wheat crop of the past year or TO
the anthracite coal miners strike.
two special factors that do not
in any way reflect general business
conditions. Money rates continue easy
and despite poor bank statement yes
terday there is little prospect of a change
in this regard. Some of the most careful
authorities in financial matters promise
easy rates during the balance of the year,
with the possible exception of some ma
nipulated furry in call loan rates for
day or two. There is. in fact. more mon
ey in the country and more in New York
than there is opportunity for its invest
ment. When it is remembered that rail-
way earnings will probably increase dur
ing the remainder of the fiscal year in
stead of decreasing and that the abun-
dance Of money is being added to every
day by the great trade balance, 1t will be
seen that intrinsic conditions are all fav-
orable.
