THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

The stock market weak under bear pres
sure and further liquidation. Renewed attacks
upon Brooklyn Rapid Transit and sales by
frightened holders carried the price of that
stock down several points, and the rest of the
market moved in sympathy. A bank statement
showing an unexpected loss in cash and
plus holdings helped the decline in the late deal
ings. while a new batch of adverse crop reports
from Chicago, a sharp advance in wheat, and
Chinese developments, increased the uneasiness
in speculative circles. There was good buying
on the decline, but attempts made to
support the market Many speculative interests
that are not openly bearish are encouraging the
selling movement in secret. in order TO secure
stocks at the cheapest prices possible, and the
success Of the bear element in the last week in
forcing out long stock has resulted in a
further strengthening of market conditions by
the passing of stocks from weak TO strong
hands Vanderbilt interests were said to be
taking stocks yesterday, and it is quite certain
that good securities were not sold without find
ing buyers Bonds were in fair demand. The
greater number Of railway mortgage issues are
selling at bargain prices and bond houses re-
port fair inquiry from investment sources
The market closed weak and unsettled, with
prices near the lowest Of the day.
a marked upward movement in the prices Of
au agricultural products has been the feature of
the business week. Dulness in the distributive
trade and further reductions IN the prices of
manufactured goods, especially iron and steel
and raw textiles, have continued. Trade re-
adjustment 70 meet new conditions Of supply
and demand is accompanied, however by a
large volume Of business as reflected in railroad
earnings and bank clearings, the last named be-
ing heavier than In any other year, except in
the ew-England and Middle States. Condi-
ton OF general trade. as shown by commercial
agencies, is not measured by current stock mar
ket values. and Stock Exchange spectators
continue bearish all securities. It is not safe
TO make predictions regarding the probable ex-
tent OF the current selling movement but buy
ers Of good stocks at the present level will
get securities under their actual worth In
yesterdays bank statement higher rates for
money are doubtless foreshadowed. Cash hold
ings decreased $3,16SS0O and surplus above
legal requirements, $1,971. 800 to SIS 526 $50
This compares with a surplus of S25 697, 800 a
year ago, and $50, $50 in 1895 Loan ex-
pansion has apparently ceased for the present
as the gain in this item last week was only
SZo9OO and the banks may soon find II neces-
saTy TO protect their reserves by loan contrac-
tion which VIII involve further liquidation In
stocks.
The usual weekly table OF price changes for the
nore-actiye stocks follows:
