STOCKS STILL SAGGING
A Further Recession From the
Low Prices of Saturday.
The Declines Due to the Pessimfstic
view TuLen of the Last Bank
Statement and apprehension as
to the Outcome of the Presidential
Cnmpasgn-ComingG Gold Shipments

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-The influence o.
Saturdays bank statement was evid
again in today's stock market. Appar-
emily the conditions disclosed therein
caused a number of large operators whc
have been active on the bail side of the
account to suspend and partially to re-
verse their position. There was very
little real outside interest in the market
in either direction, and London's opera
tions on balance amounted to practically
nothing.> In addition to the disturbing
occuI-en arising from the figures of
Saturdays bank statement there was
some discussion as TO the probable ef-
fects upon the market of the approach
ing visit here of the Presidential candi-
date of the Democratic party.
AS regarded monetary conditions the
banks quite generally this morning
marked up the rates on standing l-ans
TO per cent, and somewhat higher rates
prevailed for new borrowings.
In response to the rather more active
money market conditions, sterling ex-
change declines followed. With the local
money market rates at the present level,
however, there is no reason to expect
any early engagements of gold for i'm
port in considerable volume. As regards
this feature of the situation it needs
only TO be borne in mind that wkel
money market conditions actually war
rant the Importation OF gold shipments
will begin and will continue until fair
balance has been struck
In short, the situation in the foreign
exchange market is a virtual guarantee
that nothing approaching actual monetary
stringency need be unprecedented.
The week opened with few changes of
Importance in any other features of the
situation. There we're further evidences
that an early settlement of the anthracite
coal miners strike might be looked for,
but these appeared to play little part in
the days speculative calculations. Aside
from the days returns of railway traffic.
including that of the Reading Company
there were few developments bearing up
on particular stocks.
There were few exceptions to the gen.
orally oagging tendency OF the market.
Tennessee Coal and Iron, indeed, advanced
rather sharply on reports that important
interests in the iron trade had acquired
large interest in the property on the
recent decline in the stock, but otherwise
declines were common and were fairly
uniform The trading was fairly active
at the opening of business. but subse-
quently 1t fell away materially and for
long periods virtual stagnation prevailed.
The same diyersiication of interest, how
ever, which has characterized the deal
ings for some time, was again noted.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Waeat Somewhat Weaker. with
Corn Strong and Oats Quiet.

CHICAGO Oct. s.-The market for
wheat was weak. declining about 1c a
bushel from which there was only fair
rally, and closed 5-Sc under Saturday.
The weakening factor was the decline at
Liverpool of s-4d1 lid and the larger
Northwestern receipts. Local longs were
the principal selling. The commission
house interest was small. The statistical
returns were less bearish than Of late.
Cash sales reported here & about 100000
bushels; the seaboard ~ loads. The
weather in the Northwest has cleared and
larger receipts are expected.
Corn was strong. receiving the support
of bull interest which bought October and
November rather freely. The deferred
futures sympathized moderately. Owing
to the decline in ocean freights there was
an Improvement in export demand. Coun-
try acceptances are reported light.
Oats were quiet and steady with the
trading chiefly of local scalping charac-
ter. The American Cereal Company has
been the best buyer.

The news late yesterday afternoon OF the
engagement for the first shipment of gold
from the other side had good effect on
the market, although ii came too late to
cause much of rally in prices. The out
look is improved by this news. Financial
men say that this first shipment is likely
to be followed by others now that IL is
started, and they talk very confidently OF
the prospect for comparatively easy money
during the entire autumn. In this connec-
tion ii should be noted that SIS. 600 600 or
more has been received from Australia and
the Klondike recently, and that this move
ment continues Against this inflow of
gold something like $4,000. 600 has been
sent to Galveston, ii is said. and this was
in cash in the absence OF available cred
its. This movement is over however. The
European situation is not SO good as that
on this side but the prospect of the early
opening Of the TransvsaI mines under the
best circumstances also removes much OF
the unpieasantness from London's outlook

though perhaps Lot particularly important.
Prices went of during the greater part of
the session, and especially between noon
and 2:4S O'Clock. AS has been said there
was slight rally during the last few min
utes of the day. The close showed small
losses in nearly all securities, but not con-
spieuous ores anywhere. The grangers
Louisville and Nashville, and some OF the
steel securities were among the most sold.
The shorts put out some lines, but did not
exhibit much enthusiasm. On the other
nand, there was q continuance OF the small
investment buying that has been a feature
OF the recent market. The outlook is some
what better. Careful brokers are advising
the purchase OF securities on all recessions
and expressing the opinion that the mar
ket is likely to reach a higher Level in The
near future. 4 settlement OF the coal
strike would help along bull movement

An officer of the Big -Four made the
statement recently to the writer of this
| column that the business CT this system
| is the best in its history. Freight traffic
| is increasing steadily. and is now so
| large that there is the greatest difficulty
| in supplying cars. Passenger traffic also
| is very large. And in addition to this
| prices are appreciably better than they
! were during the big boom of business
/ last year. This officer predicts that the
stock of the company will sell several
| points higher than its present level. ir-
! respective of the deal with the New
| York Cehtral, which, however, is also a
bullish item of the greatest Importance
| The weekly earnings statement of the
| company, issued yesterday, fully bears
out this rosy prediction. The gross earn
ings OF the line for the last week of
September show an increase of s65, 235;
The increase in gross earnings for the
month was S21. 62S. and the increase for
the period since July l was $215,272.
The coalers were disappointing. The
group generally was very duh and Read
ing, in which there was some activity,
sold off as much any other stock on the
list. This was rather contrary to the
general expectation which has been boil
stored up ly the talk of a settlement of
the strike. Reading declined to 81 rs
and closed at So. There was fairly good
buying of the stock on the recession.
The annual report of the Reading Com
pany is fine one. especially when COM
pared with what the bears have been
promising. The gross earnings increased
50, 0Oo 600 and the surplus, after operating
expenses and fixed charges, increased
$7T2, 1872. The surplus for the year was
S1.93S 900, which exceeds the 3 per cent
dividend requirement on the first preferred
stock BY s1,09S, GEO, and exceeds q per
cent dividend requirement by SS1S,000.
This excess over the 4 per cent limited
to the first preferred stock is sufficient
TO pay more than 2 per cent Oh the sec
ond preferred This surplus is above ali
expenditures, not only for operating ex-
penses but for betterments as well, which
were included in the operating expense
account. The report is disappointing in
one way however. Il suggests very plain
ly that there is likely to be no increase
in the dividend rate from the per cent
now paid in the near future, even if this
rate is continued. The reason for this
is explained. When The dividend was
made in March last, of l 1-2 per cent on
the first preferred stock, there was. under
the terms of the mortgage, cents per
ton of coal mined paid on account of the
mortgage, being 's3s3,525, and with this
sum S433, 600 general mortgage bonds were
bought and cancelled. This sum, with the
dividend, amounted to s75S, 900, and there
remained in the company's surplus fund
on June 30 s2,25S. i9S, of which the re-
port says:
When it is considered that the average
monthly working expenses of these COM
panles in the Lass fiscal year were 49,
3si,37S, this sum, which is about two
thirds of one months expenses. will seem
a sufficiently small reserve fund
