THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

After a weak opening the stock market raj
He'd closing strong at the best figures or the
day. Covering of short contracts was induced
by the bank statement, which showed a smaller
decrease in surplus than had been expected
Although the loss in cash holdings amounted to
S6SOOeOO, surplus above legal requirements
decreased less than half of this amount, this
result being brought about by a heavy con-
traction in liabilities Loans were reduced by
So $685. 400 and deposits by $12.164,7oO' the loss
in loans and cash about balancing the decline
in deposits Surplus now stands at $12,94Z,6OO.
against 81. 724, $50 at this time year ago. and
S15 1927 100 in 1893. If no further demand for
money from out of town were expected yes
terday's bank statement would be an eX-
tremely encouraging document in reference TO
the future Of the money market. But the IN
quiry for funds is likely to continue for several
weeks and in consequence bank reserves may
be expected to decline 10 point that will have
some effect upon money rates. A money pinch,
however, does not appear probable. Ihere Is
enough uncertainty over the money market TO
check activity in stocks, but 1t is difficult TO ma
in monetary conditions valid reason for alarm.
The market was intensely dull In the nrst
hour, and wholly in the hands of professional
traders The popular Interpretation of the bank
statement being favorable, considerable activity
was noted in the last hour, although heaVy
dealings were confined TO Sugar Refining, Brook
lyn Rapid Transit, Northern Pacific ana Union
Pacific Further selling pressure was reported
IN Northern Pacific, but the price recovered
with the rest Of the list in the final dealings.
Northern Pacific is bear target at the moment
and It is thought in many quarters that the
stock will go still lower on account OF expected
lighter traffic receipts. due % the failure OF the
crops in Northern Pacifc's territory. the ROAD
could lose a good deal OF money this year aud
still maintain dividends on the current basis.
Sentiment is bearish Northern Pacific ana
bullish on Union Pacific, and in the case OF the
latter issue much higher prices are pre-
dicted Union Pacific preferred, a solid / per
cent stock, is selling at price that yields over
6Jk per cent and on its merits it presents one OF
the most attractive investment opportunities on
the list The Atchison securities promise to sell
higher when general upward movement sets
in as earnings are heavy. while the crops
along the company's lines are large and fore
shadow continued heavy traffic receipts through
out the year. For the month of August gross
receipts showed a gain over August, 1899, of
S615 100, and net earnings a gain Of $327,S
making a gain in net earnings for the two
months of the fiscal year of $61O,235.

WOULD NOT TELL.
John Cashmere Found In a Semi
Conscious Condition.

AT aDou, $50 o'clock this morning,
Ed Carroll, an engineer employed in Sill
yer Bow mine No. /. informed the police
that a man had been badly beaten and
was lying in cut of the B. A. & P, at
the head of Franklin street.
The patrol wagon was at once sent
out and the injured man taken to police
headquarters, where it was ascertained
that he was John Cashmere, a carpenter
employed in the Parrot. He was in a
semi-conscious condition, and it was
hard to get an intelligibie word out of
him. The impression prevailed at first
that he had been the victim Of highway
men, but it was afterwards learned that
he had a row with some acquaintances
who had beaten him severely about the
head and face. When searched, his
pockets contained watch and chain and
pistol, and also an empty poke book.
He told the officers that he did not have
any money before he was assaulted.
During the morning some of his friends
called at the Jail and when one Of them
asked him what was the matter, he re-
piled:
You know, Murphy
Murphy claimed that he did not know
and then Cashmere called him liar.
The police tried to get at the bottom Of
the trouble, but Cashmere refused to
talk with them. His friends called a
hack and had him taken home.
