Conditions in Wall Street.

The New York circular of Henry Clews says:
Liquidation has been quite extensive during
the past week. due chiefly to two causes, hrmer
money and the collapse in copper securities.
The decline in the latter, Of course, forced the
selling Of good stocks TO protect accounts; hence
the weakness Of the better class Of securities.
There was less resistance TO declines than wit
messed during the summer months, though
whether this due TO free selling or willing
ness of the market leaders 10 permit mooer-
efe degree OF LIQUIDATION is a matter of doubt.
There is no question. however, that the future
OF the market Will be benefited by the pres
ent reaction. An advance could not be con-
Quoted without a fresh start, and fresh start
was impossible except at a lower level and with
new blood. There is plenty OF money seeking a-,
investment but not at top prices; those VINO
have large sums TO invest and whose opera
iions must be depended upon for successful
bull movement are not likely 10 puy al lhe enc
OF q rise If therefore, the powers who control
the market and who are vitality interested IN
higher rrices have now willingly permitted the
market to respond naturally TO actual condl-
tions and this seems to be so, they have acted
wisely. 1t was the interference with the
natural swing Of the markets at the time OF
the United States steel strike, the corn crop
Damage, the death Of President Mckinley and
other untoward events that brought the stock
market into the condition of deadlock which
Il has endured for the past two months HAD
recession of S TO 10 points been permitted be-
tween July and October we might now nave
been on the eve OF a legitimate bull campaign
instead the market seems to be now tarolly
yesnondins TO drawbacks which cannot be. ig-
nored The only thing that will adjust the
money situation with the banks IN connection
with their reserves is liquidation in the stock
market as through that process only at this
time can the bank reserves be maintained 1t
Is this feature of the situation that threatens
lower prices for stocks before We get out OF
the present rut of money stringency- / ne re-
ceding prices in the stock market of late should
not have taken any sagacious person by sur
prise as they were inevitable Artificial
methods in keeping up prices beyond what
conditions warrant cannot be continued indef-
nitely. Wall street ought to have had three
big surges in prices at least during the last
several months but artificial methods in bridg-
ing over prevented such natural setbacks- The
steel strike was sufficient incentive for good
sized break; the corn crop damage was another.
and the assassination OF President Mckinley
