BANKER CLEWS' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen from
Wall Street.

The Financial Outlook as Seen from
Wall Street.
New York, Aug. 22.-It is now quite
evident that the late heavy decline In
stocks was intensified by artificial
means. A compilation has been made
showing that this years shrinkage in
securities amounted to 1850, OOO0 900 on
capitalization of 6.OS4, 900, 900 compared
with a shrinkage of 1900, 100000 and
capitalization of 1858, 100000 in
1898, year of general finan-
cial disaster. Thus, in year
of general prosperity we have
had contraction double that incurred
in a year of adversely, only ten years
ago. Every one must appreciate that
such an enormous shrinkage in so lin
tied period is out of all proportion
to any changes in conditions affecting
values.
During the whole downward move
ment there were signs of powerful
control, generally exerted towards low
er prices, but invariably used to check
disaster at the critical moments. Opin-
ions will, of course, vary as to the
wisdom of such use of power, but no
one will deny that the financial situa-
ton as a whole has been greatly
strengthened and clarified by this
forced liquidation, howsoever unfor-
tunate it may have proved for the
indiscreet.
The worst as to the money market
seems to have been anticipated. Crop
demands are close at hand, yet bank
ers show no anxiety about meeting
them. Should money rates advance
much further gold imports would sim
ply be FASTENED. Very soon produce
bills will be in better supply and tend
to weaken sterling bills. London shows
more interest in American securities
than for many months, and as soon
as the distrust developed by our ex-
cessive promoting has disappeared we
may expect better demand from that
quarter If prices do not advance too
rapidly. A much more confident feel
ing prevails on the Street." for stocks
have passed from weak into strong
hands. Investment purchases have
been liberal, and indications are that
the larger local interests are working
in the direction of higher prices.

The leading feature Of Pearson's for
September is "Sir Thomas Lipton's

story and timely one. Sir Thomas
tells all about his efforts to capture
the Americas cup, and he tells 1t in
an entertaining way. But the Upton
story is not all there is in the number,
by any means. The table of contents
presents a number of other articles
of much merit, and several stories that
are we'll worth reading. The illustra-
tions are excellent. The number taken
altogether, is one of the best that this

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
BY VIM. 7. Williams.

AS forecasted here last week, prices
for stocks reacted materially, and
while generally still well above the
low point reached some weeks ago, are
yet considerably below the crest of the
reaction The market was rather
heavy at the close, an easier tone hav-
ing set in on the publication of a
rather disappointing bank statement.
1t is not unlikely that prices may give
way further early in the ensuing week,
but there appears no doubt that many
securities, including both some of the
standard dividend payers and also
some Of the non-dividend payers, none
offer on the weak spots really inviting
opportunities for investment.
The cotton market was mostly
quiet, and at times very dull, trading
on the part of the outside public being
conspicuous chiefly by its absence.
There was a sharp decline on Monday
which was later recovered, owing to
buying by the bull clique. Closing
quotations generally show a few points
advance. On Friday there were sales
of some $500 bales of August delivery
accepted by the clique; and it is I'M
derstood the sale was of cotton re-im-
ported from Europe.
Crop reports continue unusually ia
vorable for the season of the year, but
rains were excessive pretty we'll all the
week, and there were more complaints
of insects. So far the damage appears
to have been nominal, but it Is feared
wet weather may favor the spread of
the pests. At the end of the week
conditions appear to have become more
propitious.
The market is in the control of the
bull clique, as the outside is evidently
shy of selling even the new crop po-
sitions at the moment. 1t is pretty
well understood that the clique can do
about as they please with August

himself in the place of young man

calculated to create some comment in
educational circles. Dr. Andrews holds
that the system of fraternities is a
