New York, November 3-The stock mar ket, while dull today, was very steady and values increased from 1s to 11a per cent throughout the entire list. The only weak feature being in Peoples Gas, which showed a fractional decline Sugar rallied to above 125, while Louisville and Nashville advanced to 761k The granger list gained about F; T. C. & I. gained per cent, and Federal Steel F per cent. Brooklyn Rapid Transit gained about 1la per cent to 62; Manhattan advanced F, while N. P. and U. P. gained F. The bank statement was not considered as good as was expected, causing a slightly lowed closing. But from the outlook at the close we look for a higher close on Monday.

The Financier

New York November 3.-The Financier says: The New York bank statement for the week ending November does not come up to the preliminary expectations, al- though as a matter of fact 1t is not re- garded unfavorable.
 The contraction in loans, amounting to $1,054.30O. is a moderate reflection of the weeks operations. The heavy changes re- ported by one large bank make a general analysis of the statement different. The excess reserve now amounts to 1850, 400. The principal feature of interest, however, in the monetary situation is the cessation Of the seasons flow of funds to the South and West It is known that there was an actual reversal of the movement last week, several of the New York banks receiving remittanees from these actions The crop requirements this fall have taken more money out of the clearing house than any previous period. The loss has been offset in measure by the receipts of six millions in gold from Europe. The banks will re- ceive about as much already engaged from various sources and this, with the gains expected from the interior ought to insure rather steady maintainance of reserve. A factor that must also be taken into con- sideration is the steadily expanding bank note circulation, the total of which is now $S0 TOT, S00 This increase is confined not alone to New York, but is general the country over. Within the year national bank currency has expanded ,OOO which is really equivalent to that amount in gold or other currency. Whether the high figure now reached will be maintain ed since the needs of the interior have been satisfied is a question which is exciting attention and involve the question of fu- ture rate to more or less extent. It Is in teresting to compare the present statement with the one issued on the eve of election four years ago. The gains in principal items has been: Loans, $346. .OS9,9 900; deposits, $394, ,329 300; reserve, $S7, 7,319,5O0 circulation, SIG, 222, GOO.
 The excess, however, is $1l5l2,S65 less than four years ago at this time
