The receipts of cattle this week indicate
slight change compared with last week, de-
crease of 400 compared with the same week a
corresponding time two years ago. Thus far this
year the receipts are a little over 5000 larger
than for the same period last year. The market
this week has been irregular and fluctuations
In prices have been frequnt. At the beginning OF
the week sales were generally reported 10415c
lower and later all this decline was regained.
and still later In the week there was rather an
upward tendency IN prices of all cattle that just
suited butchers. Toward the close Of the week.

and sales In general way were below expecta-
tions. There a very dull market at the close
of the week for the best heavy steers and stock
ers and feeders and the kind between feeders and
fat grades. Relatively the best cows nd heifers
have shown more strength than any other grade
this week. and this is probably due to the
scarcity of that class. The highest prizes report
ed this week 80 for steers. s5.25 for heif-
ers and IS for cows. but there were very few
steers arrived good enough to sell above $780,
and the bulk of the cows and heifers sold below

NEW YORK, Oct 1.-THE market opened
weak at a decline. While transactions
were not large at the opening. a nervous
feeling prevailed and stocks were offered
i'm considerable blocks at any fractional i'm
proyement The issuance of the bank state
ment was awaited and the market ruled
dull until the same appeared. The state
ment was most discouraging and did not
portend that relief to the money market
that was hoped for and expected by not a
few. Stocks were offered in large quanti-
ties and the market sold off rapidly, clos
ing at practically the lowest. The imme-
date future depends on two factors, the
coal situation and the money market. Any
definite opinion as to when the strike will
be settled is hardly reliable. The money
situation shows no signs of easing and
money probably will remain tight for some

closed strong. December up &c. December

together with weakness in corn. Markets
in the Northwest. however, were strong,
and with good buying orders from that
source commission houses turned active
buyers and the market here became strong.
ST. Louis was also reported as being on
the buying side. and shorts covered freely.
December opened hc to hc lower, at Gao
6s7sc. few sales were made around the
opening figures. but with an active demand
the price steadily advanced to 7os4c and
closed at the top with gain of NC. Clear

made total receipts for the three points or
95S cars, against 9S1 cars last week ana
S54 cars years ago.
Corn was active, but the trade was of a
more general character than recently ex-
perienced. The opening was easy on bear
ish statistics, but predictions OF rains
caused a firmer feeling and there was con-
siderable buying by commission houses as
well as by shorts covering. The strength
was maintained throughout the entire ses-
sion and the close was strong. December
closed a shade higher at EAaE3sc, after
selling between 47~c and 475sG4S. Local re-
cepts were 213 cars, with 81 cars OF con-
tract grade.
Oats opened weak, with general liquida-
ton influenced by the larger increase In
the crop as shown by the government re-
port, which indicated the crop would be the
largest on record. At the decline there
was good buying by commission houses,
and this, together with the demand from
shorts. soon caused a rally. The strength
in corn was also a help to prices. Consid-
ering the amount OF liquidation the market
held fairly steady. with much Of the early
loss regained. December closed hqssc lower
at 3l%Q31hc, after ranging between 3l1s9
31hc. Local receipts were 100 cars.
Provisions opened steady on higher prices
for hogs and light receipts at the yards.
Trading was not large and was for local
account mainly. Shorts covered freely and
with light supply prices advanced The
upturn in corn was also help. January
pork closed 15c higher at $3.50. lard was
15c higher at $sS7h, while ribs closed no

NEW YORK, Oct. lin view of the
many repeated and almost officially re-

As regards the bank statement. ii Is diff
cult TO explain what has become Of the
large increase I'm specie holdings which
were currently thought to have been turned
in this week; and, further, the increase In
loans of s2,500,000 was a factor incompre-
hensible TO the general public, in view of
the heavy liquidation of the early part OF
the week. The continued refusal OF the
clearing house banks to eliminate the re-
serve on the government deposits as shown
in to-day's statement, was further source
of disappointment, and. all In all. the COM
bined figures created very blue feeling.

Sheep-Receipts, 80: Shipments small The re-

OF fair volume, indicating an increase of nearly

The market this week has been in better condi-
ton than for some time past. The quality has
been OF a higher standard. and, with favorable
conditions elsewhere, shippers were encouraged
10 be more liberal, and a good demand from local
butchers made an/active market and a gain in
prices which amounted to at least 25c for the
week. Quite number of lambs salable

The banks now hold 81, 527. $50 in excess

The Financier says: 1.-The official state
ment of the New York associated banks
was last week made up on two bases of
computation. In one form the deposits
were reported plus those of United States
funds. which amounted to $40, 633. 400; in the
other form the latter were deducted from
the net deposits. The computation made
crease of 1921, $50 in surplus reserve, carry
ing this item to 81 527, $50; the computations
upon the basis of the United States de-
showed decrease in reserve of $S25S25 to
Sl1.6SS, 200, this reserve In the previous week
h havns Dern a ne 1 loans OF tine
the result In part of syndicate operations
during the week. The cash showed a net
decrease of 100 specie, having been aug
mented $1,06S, 800, while legal tenders fell off
$1,319,O00. This net loss of cash. notwith-
standing the large traceable receipts during
the week, can scarcely be accounted for on
the theory of averages, and, therefore, the
loss is somewhat inexplicable.
1t seems almost certain, however, that
considering the fact that receipts were
largest after the middle of the week, the
banks were better supplied with cash than
appeared by the statement. Net deposits
increased only 1854, 800. 81. 929. 800 less the
amount called for by the increase in loans
less the net loss of cash. The United States
deposits, which were separately stated In
the return for the purpose Of making COM
putations on the new basis, showed a de-
crease of $l35, 900. 1t seems quite possible
that this decrease was due to the transfer
OF government deposits from New York to
some of the interior depository banks
Taken whole, the statement was al
most featureless. 1t does not appear that
the banks generally took advantage of the
release of reserve against the deposits of
public funds TO expand their credits, at
least to any great extent, If at ALL and the
statement indicated that a very conserva-
tive policy had been pursued by these insti-
tutions The average daily clearings of the
banks was $2S3, 1900. against $2S6 900 900 in
the previous week The circulation was in
creased SAIL, following a gain in this
item In the previous week of 1888 600 1t
may be noted that twenty-one OF the banks
chiefly those with the largest capital and
surplus, indicate an excess of loans COM
pared with deposits: IN the previous week

excess, rejecting loans of capital and sur
