Chicago Gra1n ana. kroV1S1onS.
 CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-Pessimistic advices from European capitals in regard to the possibility of war in the Far East caused an advance of 3A in May wheat. 2B in corn and 75c in pork today. While all of the advances did not hold. closing prices were near the top. War news was the chief topic of conversation before the session opened and when the bell rang for the opening there was a rush of buying or ders in the wheat pit. No sellers were to be found however. As a result initial sales showed a range of even cents May. the price being s4% to s6&. which was an Shorts were active buyers and the price rose rapidly to 67A, where considerable liquidation settled it back to S7. The demand continued rallied on all small recessions. The feature of trading was lack of offerings On &C., count of mourning for the victims of the Iro- quois fire, tho board closed an hour earlier than Is usual on Saturdays. The shortened session added to the activity. May closed at SI1s, gain of Sc over Thursdays close. July also showed good gains and after ranging be- tween 80 and s2la closed 343t higher at a2S gS21s- Clearances equaled 6o2, ,ooo bushels Minneapolis Duluth and Chicago reported 6l2 cars, against 353 year ago.
 Corn was influenced by the same conditions that governed wheat and prices showed sharp advances. Shorts covered freely and there was also good investment demand, while ofrerinTs were extremely light.

The Financier,s statement.

NEW YORK. Jan. 2.-The Financier this week says: The notable feature of the official statement of the New York Associated Banks last week was, as was the case In the previous week, an important increase in loans The gain this week was SI 6. .3o7. 700 against Sl3.- 522.6 500 in the week ending December 20, i9o3 making the total increase for the fort night S2s .e3o. 300. This expansion was doubt less largely due to loans upon corporation &C., count and such operations may be expected to continue in the near future Most likely the increase in loans to some extent represented temporary lending by the banks of the funds deposited by railroads and other concerns prep terest and dividends The cash reserve of the banks was increased by S2,o32. 800 net, specie being decreased S47S, 900, while legal tenders were augmented s2 5oe. 300; This net gain in was estimated from the traceable movements of money during the week. The discrepancy can, however, easily be accounted for by the fact that the bank statement included Thurs days movements, which were not embraced in the estimates The deposits increased $2o,- 6o.2oo. which is greater by Si.92o. 200 than net gain in cash: the statement is. therefore. technically out of proof. The reserve requlre- rnents were SS.065. 50 and deducting this from the net gain in cash leaves S3.o32. 75o as tho decrease in surplus reserve to S9, 54l ,876. Computed upon the basis of deposits less those of S36, ,767, 300 public funds, the surplus is Sla.7S3,725. Circulation decreased S37e. 900 and the excess of loans over the deposits was S22.3el 500. against S26. 6.344, co in the pre- vious week. The average of the daily clear inss for five days was S22o. Ooo. 900. or S27,- clearings Saturday rehocting Thursday s business were S343. l6,3S6. or $l l5, GOO. 900 greater than the daily average for the week. This increase was due to shifting of loans and other operations incident to the close of the year. Comparisons of loans show that seven banks increased this item by 6 IS, 400, 900 net; the greatest gains were by two banks. The net decreas ein cash by the seven institutions was S4oo, 900.

This Is notably true regarding the iron and steel outlook. Reports from railroad traffic oniciais of . pressure of business sufficient to threaten car shortage in some directions were
 not without effect on sentiment also. The
 wild speculation in the cotton market has
 been disturbing factor rather than otherwise,
 but this has been resisted. Factors in the
 background which have not lost their force
 are the unsettling influences of a national po-
 lttical campaign. the decision in the Northern Securities case to como and the shaping of consumptive demand for products during the coming year. Opinion over the new years outlook fs probably best suamed up in the words of one of the great mercantile agencies: with christening spirit coupled with some doubt that the business community awaits the developments of iso4.''
