BONDS,
THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

Stock market values were strong in the great
er part OF the day on a small volume Of busi-
ness Commission houses were not actively en-
gagged in speculation. trading. a rule. being
confined to the transactions Of the professional
element. In extent of dealings the day was
the lightest in many weeks. With the excep
ton OF the leading speculative favorites. there
were few instances where total sales reached
important figures. while even in the generally
active shares business moved in an exceedingly
slow manner. Canadian Pacific was again a
leading active feature IN the railroad list, buy
ing CT the stock coming largely from Montreal
and local sources. Union Pacific. Atchison. ST.
Paul and Reading were bought in fair sized
amounts by people who believe that prices
will range higher while IN smaller amounts good
buying was noticed in Missouri Pacific. Man
haitian. Chicago, Great Western and Wabash.
In the Industrial list strength was shown by
Colorado Fuel and Iron. Amalgamated Cop
per. National Lead. American Linseed. the
Fuller stocks and American Grass Twine. Crop
reports good and money easy. but
the labor situation at the anthracite mines
apparently served 10 restrict trading.
When peace is declared in South Africa
large amount of foreign capital will be available
for operations in the securities market. Doubt
less the foreign demand for American stocks
will be heavy If capital is released. and It is
o a
settlement OF the Boer war foreign operators
already buying securities. England is
enormously rich nation. despite its huge
expenditures on the present British in
vestors and spectators favorably disposed
toward the stocks and bonds dealt in the
local Exchange, and II is believed in we'll in
formed circles that the present buying here
for foreign account will be important in
fluence in the daily dealings for many months
to come. This opinion is, OF course. based on
the assumption that the peace rumors fore
shadow end OF the war. II is said that with
IN the last two weeks upward Of $4,000 900
of Union Pacific and Atchison stock has been
shipped to Europe. At the moment there is
little buying in the local market for commits
sion house account, but prices OF many shares
are at level which appears attractive to some
OF the larger interests. Barring unforeseen ad-
vance developments, the current period OF in
activity will doubtless be followed by higher
quotations.
According TO the known movement of money
this week. the local banks have gained upward
of S6,110OD0 in cash holdings. 1t Is thought
that liabilities have been further reduced and
that reserve above legal requirement Will be
materially increased. The money market has
indicated increased supplies at this centre, but
the heavy buying of American securities for
European account has prevented a reflection OF
easier rates in the foreign exchange market
Were II not for the offerings OF bankers bills
gold exports would doubtless now be under
way. The movement OF currency from the in
terror this week amounted 70 So. .160 400. and the
net gain was S6.006 400
