WEEK IN WALL STREET
1T HAS BEEN MARKED BY VACII-
LATIoNs OF SENTIMENT.
Weakness of the Early Part Generally
OvercOme-Innuence of MIR. Nor
gan's Return from Europe.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-The interest in to-
days stock market was rather languid in
spite of some brisk operation on the part
Of speculative pools and a substantial in
crease in the surplus reserves of the banks,
which is usually made signal for an up
ward movement of stocks. 1t did not escape
notice, however, that the actual reserves
Of the banks failed to show the expected
small Improvement, the turn in the tide Of
the subtreasury operations having taken
up entirely the contribution to the money
market made earlier in the week. The con-
traction in the loans of SO. 46O.1OO shows
that the funds which supplied the stock
market during the week came from the
trust companies and from proceeds of bor-
rowings abroad. as had been supposed.
The action of the banks in reducing their
loan account is in expectation of the COM
ing demand from the interior which evident
ly has set in for the season. The decision
to postpone the dissolution of the Southern
Railway voting trust by refraining from
the declaration of the dividend on the pre-
ferred stock had only a slightly depressing
effect on that company's stocks, as ii is
supposed to be a step towards the COM
pletion of the arrangement with the L. e.

HogS-Rece1pts, 2,5OO; shipments, IOO. InlS
weeks receipts OF hogs have been of only
fair volume and probably smaller than
most dealers expected. There is a decrease
Of 1900 compared with last week, nearly
5000 compared with the week a year
ago and almost 5000 compared with the
corresponding week two years ago. Thus
far this year the receipts are 163,5OO smaller
than the same period last year For the
week ending yesterday the leading local
packers bought total of ii, 3l2, against 16,
7S2 the preceding week and 1884 the same
week a year ago. During the same period
the shipments were 7,549, against 515S the
preceding week and 10, $50 the corresponding
week a year ago While TO a few the
movement in values this week not un-
expected, to great many 1t was pleasant
surprise. IL Us probably true that most
dealers expected a good market the early
part of the week, but they also probably
believed that an upturn in values would
bring increased receipts later in the week
and a corresponding reaction in prices
Just to show that the expected does not al
ways happen. the receipts the early part of
the week were larger than later, and with
a good start there was a continued upward
movement in values. supported by good
demand from local and outside sources
After a decline of sc on Monday prices
started upward and a the close of the week
were fully soc per 100 lbs higher than the
opening and about half of the recent loss
in prices was regained. The quality con-
tinueG generally satisfactory. but one or
two days was hardly up to the standard on
account of there being a large proportion
of grass-fed hogs in the arrivals. The re-
cepts to-day were not quite large as a
week ago, but show a little Improvement
over a year ago. The market opened with
good request from practically all buyers
and for fear that the supply would not be
large enough TO meet all the requirements
there was very strong competition and a
few of the first sales were no doubt at
stronger prices than equal gradese sold yes
terday. 1t was soon evident however that
the demand from outside sources would not
develop as much strength as expected: con-
sequently local packers dropped to lower
key and subsequent sales In most cases
were at least Sc lower than the opening
while occasionally difference of IOc was
claimed In general way most dealers re-
Dorted the average steady compared with
Yesterday and representative sales indicate
that that would be a conservative estimate.
A satisfactory clearance was made and the
market closed steady at current prices
sales ranged from Sis 70 $50 and only a
small number Of hogs sold below SIS Quo
