The early sharp decline in Metropolitan Street railway The weakness of this stock mas been disturbing element for some tune: but today's selling seemed based on tne State railroad statistics published yesterday, showing the passenger traf- nc or the Metropolitan Company practi- caiiy stationary for the last year. The deduction was drawn that the system carrying capacity. The Inconsistency of the market was shown by the decline in o.ner traction stocks. although the same s.auslcs showed large increase in tneir trafffc. Later in the day, when an upward movement in the other fractions vas undertaken to give market refiec- tion 10 the showing, Metropolitan Street haiiwayf recovered in sympathy. The heavy gold outgo caused some attention to be given to the bank statement pros pects. The figures of sub-treasury opera tons show losses by the banks on that account including the gold movement of S,39s.000, while the receipts on balance of currency from the interior would cut this down materially. The bank statement is expected to carry over the effect of last weeks gold shipments under the opera tlon or the average system. A large loan expansion Is taken for granted. Tkere was an appreciably firmer tone to call money today. A considerable impairment Of the surplus would not be a surprise In tomorrows bank statement.

The stock mar ket seemed not affected, except in the excessive dullness. Reports of railroad earnings were not stimulating to the de- mand for stocks and those for the Har- riman group were considered a moderate basis for the hopeful views expressed by the head of the system. Outside a few or the stocks in the class known as specfalities there was no movements wor- thy of notice and the trivial charges were mostly gains.

In addi- tiou to this showing as an incentive for buying the weather was rather mixed. There was said to be too much rain in portions of Texas. threatening an overflow of the Brazos Valley. which would prove beneficial or injurious &C., cording to how firmly the plant was rooted. while along the Atlantic coast now said rain was needed. But the Advances attracted considerable real lxing and the market after the call held no better than steady for a time with July advancing to 1889. an ad- vance of l6 points and the general rnnge s61e points higher. Following dently a good sized selling order in the hands of a room trader believed to be operating for certain large Wall Street operator and who sold July on q scale up fduring the early trading. A rumor was also circulating that New Orleans was trying to sell here and while the days additions to statistics were generally of bullish nature, the market during the balance of the ses- sion. worked qrite steadily downward. with closing prices easv at net de- cline of 366 points on the old crop and an advance of 6@12 points on the new Sales were estimated at 200. 900 bales.
