NEW YORK, July 28.-The weekly state
ment of averages of the associated banks
showed a larger gain in lawful money
than had been expected, owing to the fact
that the movement of cash from the in
terror, indicated by the preliminary re-
ports. was supplemented by fairly consid-
cradle receipts of money by registered
mail The increase in the item was
81 81, 600.
The statement again showed discrepan-
cies in that an increase in deposits of
1861, 700 was inconsistent by about $500,
GOO with the increase in cash noted, to-
gether with an increase in loans of s3,2i7,-
500. The net result is an increase OF
s9,454,0O0 in the surplus reserve, bringing
that item to an aggregate considerably
more than twice as large as year ago.
The increase in loans reported was attrib-
uted chiefly to borrowing on foreign ex-
change. inasmuch as the demands upon
the banks from Wall Street and mercantile
community have been at minimum
In addition to the curtailments of ex-
ports to China the disorder existing In
that country has already begun indirectly
granger railways. The farmers in the
great grain producing sections, expecting
that the troubles in the Far East may re-
suit IN clash between some of the Euro
pean powers, are holding back their grain,
believing that such hostilities will cause
an extraordinary demand abroad for our
breadstuffs. This to an extent explains
the decreases in the gross earnings OF
some of the granger roads since the begin
ming of July.
Tho stock market today failed, as for
some time past. to show any signs of pub
lie interest. The professional dealers did

ment, which was more favorable than had
been expected from the point of view of
the contingency that is always encouraged

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Easier Tone in wheat, With t-0od
Cash Bids in Corn.

CHICAGO, July 2S.-There was an
easier tone in wheat today, the market
closing l 1-Sc under last night. Liyerpo l
was disappointing and unchanged. The
selling today was principally by local trad
ers on the heavy Southwestern movement
and increase in. the estimate Of the North
western yield by a prominent expert. ca n
sales here were 100000 bushels. The sea-
board reports eleven loads. The visible
supply Will probably show small in

advance over Friday. There has been such
an advance in freights that some holdei S

TO resell in order to get profit without
shipping. That has restricted new BUSH
ness.
Oats were off is to Csc. Crop advices

ers are rather bearish, expecting Illinois

The past week has somewhat dispelled
the hope that many entertained a short
time ago OF an immediate boom in the
stock market. Advancing prices and a
slight broadening of speculation have given
place TO another dull market, controlled
wholly by the professionals. During the
past three days the tendency of prices in
the general list has been downward, only
one or two specially manipulated securi-
ties showing any buoyancy, and even these
not all the time 1t may be stated, how
ever, as another very evident fact, that
there is little disposition among impor-
taut holders to sell securities. While
many Of these do not look for a boom
at this time, nearly all OF them do expect
a large and prosperous advance in prices
during the next few months on the strength
Of the general business situation. II would
seem that the professional market is likely
TO continue for the present. with fuctua-
lions small for the most part and business
duh The uncertainties in the Chinese Sit
uation. the wide margin OF possibilities in
the crop outlook. and the coming Of the
political campaign are all matters that tend
to keep people out OF the market. The ad-
vice given by many careful brokers to their
customers at this time is to buy securi-
ties on all recessions but to wait for the
recessions.

1t is interesting to make summary
OF gross railway earnings again this week
and to note again that these earnings con-
tinue to increase over the phenomenal
record of last year. The pessimists have
been signally wrong regarding the course
OF railway earnings for six months past.
They were predicting big tumbles in earn
ings before the end of 1899 and they have
continued TO do so since that time. The
record meanwhile has kept steadily larger
than it has ever been before. A total Of So
systems allowed for the third week of
July gross earnings Of 1882, 43s. OF this
number IS systems show increases of
s6l6 493 and II show decreases of S152, 977,
80 that the balance of increase is $462, SIC,
or 6-17 per cent. In a total Of 6S systems
that report for the second week Of July
the gross earnings were IS, S23, III, and the
balance OF increase s611, 410, or 7.44 per
cent The net earnings statements show
that the cost of materials has cut into
them under the present liberal expendi-
lures for betterments being made by nearly
all the leading systms. In the case of the
net earnings too, however there is much
that is satisfactory and more that is prom
Using. A number of net earnings state
ments are likely to be made during the
coming week that will be Of great interest
TO the speculative public, those Of the
grangeTs for June among them One re-
cent story is that the Burlington state
ment will be much better than hitherto
expected, showing a small increase in
stead Of decrease. The earnings OF the
steel and iron companies will be very
large, in all probability, before the end
of the present calendar year The trade is
on the point Of a good revival now. But
IL is by no means certain that the re-
duction Of prices and OF business has cut
the profits OF these concerns down to
nothing the past month or two. 1t Is
known that some Of the companies have
made money steadily and the margin Of
profit was SO large at the higher prices
that it is quite within the bounds of reason
to suppose that there is some of it left
now.

An advance in the stock during the present

American Sugar Refinery again has been
the feature of the market during the past
week Transactions in the stock have been
very large part Of the entire market
No new price level has been attained, but
there has been excellent buying nearly
every day, and until yesterday the level
was continuously near the top. There is
very little new in the sugar situation. 1t
was said yesterday that there was danger
of a strike in one of the trust plants and
that this was the cause of the selling Of the
stock down to 124 and a fraction. This
story afterward proved to be without
foundation. The real significance of the
break seems to have been a technical one
only. The marke; trader who has been
most active as a buyer OF Sugar was out OF
the city yesterday and in his absence the
bears hammered the stock. A further adj
vance seems more likely at present than
continuance Of yesterdays decline but the
stock is a most dangerous one to play with.
The position of the New York traction
securities has been Improving Prices have
been advanced and the street is in a more
optimistic frame Of mind regarding them.
The reasons for this are good. The Brook
Ign Rapid Transit will probably be allowed
to continue to charge its 10 cents fare to
COney Island, and this removes one of the
bear arguments on when the stock was
sold down TO It's present low lever. Inc an
pual statement OF the company is to be
made public IN a short time, and it is
said BY people OF some authority that the
figures to be given out viii be much bet
ter than the alleged semi-ofiicial state
ment launched by the bears few weeks
ago II is known that the present earn
ings Of the company are very heavy, far
in excess OF those OF July, 1899. The talk
Of Pennsylvania buying of Brooklyn for
control Is probably without foundation, but
the company does not need this control TO
make it prosperous paying corporation.
In general. the affairs of the other traction
companies are also in an excellent condi-
ton.
The past week has not made the pros
pect OF per cent dividend for the Bal
timore and Ohio common any more certain,
but II has brought the time for the action
OF the directors of the company very near.

date can only be a short distance away
when the statements will begin to show
losses instead Of increases and when rates

crop moving period and the probability Of

With both the West and the European
countries drawing gold from New York i
can hardly he expected that bankers viii

loans at 10 per cent or anything like
that rate. The possibility of a furry in

ures OF the statement yesterday are as fol-

The statement of the Chicago Great

Such being in the main the reasons why

not be stated to readers of this column
why ultimately handsome advance 10 a

seryative interests throughout the coun-
try as well as in Wall Street There may

but America has more gold now than ever
before and the Government has it in its
power 10 prevent panic or even serious
stringency by depositing its surplus with
the banks. The crop situation has some
unpleasant possibilities, but the very large
chance now is that the corn crop will be
one OF the largest on record, and the
winter wheat crop good one. The spring
wheat yield will be small in one section,
but in others it viii be superb. As whole
the outlook for the farmers and through
them Of the railways and the business
interests in general is one of the best
in recent years. Last years phenomenal
railway earnings may not be quite equaled
or they may be excelled, but in any event
they Will be the largest on record, leaving
the year 1889 out of consideration. This
is very far from the predictions made by
the bears a few weeks ago There is an
excellent outlook for the iron and steel
industry, although at present prices have
been tumbled badly without securing much
new business. The general domestic husi-
ness of the country is increasing steadily
and the record OF exports for the past
year was far ahead of any previous year.
