VIEWS OF HENRY CLEWS.

Special to the Register.
NEW YORK, June 22.-The stock mar
ket has been under the influence of appre-
sions of a poor bank statement and closer
money. Such fears induced more or less
realization of profits and encouraged trad
ers to manipulate for lower prices. Bank
reserves are very low and might easily
reach the exhaustion point in case of too
large an expansion of loans. Gold exports
also caused some concern, and as prepa-
rations for July settlements and disburse-
ments are in order, caution in regard to
the money market until the end of the
month is simply necessary prudence. At
ter that date there may be less reason for
anxiety and comparatively easy rates can
be anticipated until the crop movement
asserts itself, a period six to eight weeks
distant. 1t is well to remember, however,
that the important deals with which the
public are familiar may lock up or release
large sums at any time. Such transac
tons would cause sudden contraction or
expansion of loans and affect the reserves

THE DAY ON WALL STREET.

NEW YORK, June 22.-Prices at the
opening showed but little variation
from yesterdays closing figures, but
changes were in the aa;ure of improve
melts. International stocks, az on yes
terday, failed to get UP to a parity with
the London level, the improvement in
St. Paul reaching only q, compared
with IA abroad. Business was small
and confined chiefly to the fractions,
Pacific and Southwesterns.
Not much significance was attached
to fluctuations, which appropriated a
point in only a few instances. Prices
moved in a desultory manner, the pro-
fessionals, holding off until the publica-
ton OF the bank statement. Local and
the Independent Steel stocks were bid
up, but there was a gradual shading off
in st. Paul, Missouri Pacific, Union Pa
cifc and Wabash preferred, which af-
fected the general tone DeIore II o'clock.

accordingly. The reduction in the dis
count rate of the Imperial Bank of Ger
many, following that of the Bank of
England in the previous week, demon
strates an easier condition of affairs In the
European money markets and lessons the
probability OF gold exports. The moderate
amount of gold sent to Germany this week
revived attention to the unsatisfactory
business conditions in that country. but
these are unlikely to have any immediate
effect here. No important demand upon
our stock of gold is in prospect, and with
Increasing supplies of gold from the Klon-
dixie and the Transvaai. the. question OF
our money market being seriously dis
turbed by gold shipments need not yet be
seriously discussed. The continued heavy
excess of export over imports is a fac
tor highly favorable TO US in the inter-
national exchanges. Indications point to
a continuance of these conditions, for we
are approaching the export season and
both grain n cotton bills will be In bet
ter supply. Just now the United States
is in a position of wonderful ~inanciaI
strength; being fully able TO meet not only
its own unprecedented requirements. but
also to afford Europe the helping hand
and TO stave off disaster.
As soon as the present efforts for de-
preston of values are over the market
may be expected to enjoy a reasonable re-
covery in the event of easy money. While
this is not the season. TO expect activity
under ordinary conditi4ns. stiiI the situa-
ton is such as TO require close wafchinx.

MARKET ADvIcEs.

I. 8. Bache & Co. to White & White.
NEW YORK, June 22.-With London
stocks practically at our parity, to-day's
local market opened fairly strong, par
t~icu1arly U. P. and st. Paul. Thereafter
a dullness prevailed till the appearance
of the bank statement, which showed
comparatively small changes in all
items, with the surplus showing a de-
crease OF 80, III 900. Apparently the street
looked upon the statement as more ia
vorable than previous predictions, and
the market hardened. The feature OF the
morning was Long Island stock, which
made a quick and decided advance in
view of the tunnel scheme. Pennsylya-
MIA stock naturally sympathize in the
advance. New York Central was also
quite active and strong. Local traction
stocks all made further advances On ac-
tive trading. the general railroad list
showing a firm undertone and fiuctuat-
ing in narrow limits. All told, it was
a typical midsummer market. General
conditions remained as favorable as
heretofore, and with better conditions
in the money market, a revival Of in
terest in speculation is likely to take
place.

outside buying. Sentimtnt is more

will broaden, although nothing like an
active bull market can be expected until
the dividend uncertainty regarding U. S..
Steel has been eliminated. The decla-
ration of a dividend on the common
will be a bull card. Crop reports are
favorable, and the technical market po-
