STOCKS ARE IRREGULAR
BANK STATEMENT BRINGS EFFEc.
TIVE RALLY ABOUT
Increase in the Surplus Reserves Is Sat
isfactory and Record Size of Various
items Does Not Stagger Operators
Close of the Market Is Steady.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23-Today's stock
market was irregular, but the haltlng
movement was not more marked than IS
natural under the profit-taking invited by
the weeks rise and was sustained by
several important points of positive
strength. After the publication of the
bank statement there was an effective
rally and the market closed steady, with
no important net losses on the day.
The operators in the market seemed
satisfied with the increase in the surplus
reserve of the banks, and were not i'm
pressed with the staggering showing of
the increase in the various items, which
broke all records in several instances.
There is general agreement that the rapid
loan expansion now in progress represents
largely a transfer of obligations from
trust companies and outside banks to
clearing house institutions which pay in
tereSt on deposits of other institutions.
panies, not yet complete, for the six
months ending Dec. 81 last, show net
decrease in deposits of $102. 2.S76,033 for
thirty-five companies reporting, which
liability upon bank reserves, as trust
companies keep their reserves largely on
deposit with the banks.
The the suggestion Is also made that
the present heavy influx of funds from
the interior to New York may represent
in part operations by the treasury in the
transfer of government deposits. from in
terior repositories to New York, to be
drawn on In making the Panama canal
payment.
No Call From the Government.
The item of government deposits with
the New York banks, however, reflects no
such operation. and it Is said on good au
thority that interior repositories have not
yet received notice of any call upon the
government deposits. Banking opinion
seems to be that the demand for money
has SO far declined as to promise a
plethoric condition in the local money
market in the immediate future
The stock and bond markets have
broadened out and grown in volume in
the course of the past week, rising to a
degree of activity and an appearance of
strength not seen for many months past
The growing demand for bonds has
been of no small influence in improving
sentiment over the outlook for securities,
as pressure of capital for employment
In railroad mortgages is a not unusual
prelude to an expanding market for
stocks: The extraordinary demand for
United States Steel second SIS and for
Rock Island bonds, while overshadowing
the bond market, has not precluded a
good demand at advancing prices for
higher grade bonds. Quotations on call for
government bonds have not changed dur
ing the week.

Favorable Bank Statement
Causes Advance i'm Prices.

The New York stock market opened
steady Saturday. The first quotations
were somewhat higher than Fridays close.
On the advance there was profit-takins
and this. caused a slight decline When
the bank statement was issued prices
again became strong and higher. The
close was steady at about the best prices
for the day.
What the Brokers Say.
j. c. Geraghty & Co.'S correspondents
say of stocks:
Bache: The opening of the market was
steady. and as a rule better than Friday
nights close. The trading was confined
to narrow limits in most of the issues.
and after the first hour 1t was plainly
seen that the traders were disposed to
even up their weeks contracts and sold
freely. causing q slight reaction. After
the bank statement the general list re-
covered slightly.
Logan & Bryan: There was another
fine bank statement Saturday. Taken in
connection with the one of n week ago,
and they represent condition of the
tendency of the money situation which
has not obtained before in more than q
year. Naturally after such a continued
advance there was more or less profit
taking. and some little reactions in spots.
The closing was Irregular, but it was
strong. There was as yet no pressure
from Jeng stocks that tries the market.
and the waiting list of investors is still
large. AS long as these conditions last
We see very little danger in buying stocks,
and think the tendency viii be higher.
Randolph: The buying by large bank
ing interests has been SO confident that
operators think it must be based OH
knowledge of some favorable develop
ments. probably favorable decision in
the Northern Securities case. Rut we
must bear in mind that bankers buying
does not make bull market: The public
are not buying. Confidence has not been
restored, and there is no change in trade
and business conditions to warrant sus-
tanning the higher level of prices pro-
duced by the speculative discounting of
coming favorable news. However. there
is a powerful clique at work and their
operations are not completed

 Washington Monument.

From the Washington Post.
 There have been many races up the steps to the top of the Washington monu- ment, but that of yesterday between M. B. Mahaney, of Athens. Penn. and Frank Kennard, of Easton, Md. was perhaps the most novel in inception and surprising In result that ever took place.
 eMr Mahaney, a slender-built young man of twenty-six, walks with crntches. having lost leg. MT. Kennard, who Is in his thirties weighs about 235 pounds, but Is considered very active and light of foot for all that
 Some 2u0 excursionists from Easton visited the monument and were disap- pointed to find that the elevator was not running, owing to repairs in the engine room. Several started to walk up, while others stood hesitating to make the as- rent when Mahaney, iolSingly challenged his robust acquaintance to a race. Ken nard was nothing loth and away they went, Mahaney leaving one of his prutches behind.
 There was not much to choose between the two for the first POO feet of climb, but then Kennard's handicap of avoirdu~ pols began to tell on his speed and the one-legged man took a strong lead.
 Just fifteen minutes after the start from the base or the monument mdhdHes hobbled to one of the windows at the top out of breath and very pale from his ex- ertions.
 Five minutes passed and Kennard had moi vet reached the finish. II looked as if he had weakened and abandoned the con test and Mahaney, nod rested, was about to begin the descent when his friend appeared at the foot of the last flight of steps. He finished in good condition, but six minutes behind his opponent. He declared that he had got his second wind and were the monument 300 feet higher he would have won out

ADJUSTMENTS.
At East Lake.

An attraction that should draw large audiences to the East Lake Casino next week is the Wells Vaudeville show head ed by the four Picolo Midgets. This show has been playing only the largest cities on the Wells circuit and Birmingham is included in the list.
 The company is headed by the celebrat- ed Picolo Midgets who have been seen at the Bijou, where they made a hit last season. These little men are the smallest in the world Their ages are 9, 25. 26 and p years, and their height is 9l, B, 8 and 8 inches. Despite their small stat ure they are all perfectly formed. They were born in Germany and their par ents are of strong Teutonic race which is noted for strength and massive build. The little fellows are highly educated and speak five languages fluently. The act Is a diversified one to which printing ink cannot do justice, It opens with the quartette appearing as members of the Salvation army, with bass drum, cym- bals, and tamborines and singing the army song. They then perform some marvellous acrobatic work and feats of heavy lifting and finish by engaging in a wrestling match which is most excit- ing. This act will appeal to the ladies and children.
 Among the other attractions on the bill are: Lawson and Nanom, introducing comedy cycling and bag punching. Bes- nah and Miller will present neat act of comedy singing and clever dancing.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-08-14

Another act on the bill that will please the ladies and children as well as the gentlemen Is Vancleve and his mule, in- troducing one of the funniest acts ever seen on any stage. The American Bio graph will show new and interesting moving pictures. The act will be pleas antly remembered when it was present. ing the great train robbery and trip to Coney Island p..tures a few weeks ago at the Casino.
 The performance is one that all should witness and the announcement of the management that nothing which would offend the most fastdious will be allow ed is conductive to an attendance of the best citizens of Birmingham. There will be the same popular matinees on We'd nesday and Saturday. The same popu- lar prices will prevail and reserved seats can be secured at Norton's drug store.
