The Bank Statement.

There was no disappointment experienced
in the ultimate showing of the weekly bank
statement Last weeks deficit in reserves,
amounting to 81, 428. CO. was converted into
a surplus of $685., COO This radical altera-
ton resulted entirely from a curtailment
in the loan account. which amounted to
s27 2o4 600 rejecting the general transfer
of loans from the local banks to out of
town and non-clearing house institutions
during the period of monetary strlngency.
The cash item showed d decrease of ST.
a69 OC0 which sum was fairly we'll in &C
cord with the preliminary estimates. The
changes in the cash and loan items were
quite closely reflected in the deposit ac-
count which decreased s29,249,0O0. Re-
serves in consequence increased 1888, 900.
In the corresponding week of last year the
banks held in surplus reserves 50, $50, coo; in
1903, SO, 911 eco and in 1902, $19, 500, 600

Today Marked Further Rise
in Stock Prices.
REPORTS OF THE TRADE
WERE GRATIFYING AND HELPED

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 1S.-There was
nothing at all in the overnight develop
ments relating TO the financial markets
which might be cited in connection with the
further rise in prices upon the stock ex-
change this morning.
1t could hardly be said that the advices
from st. Petersburg placed the situation
in Russia in a more encouraging light, ana
in fact. Russian imperial As scored
further sharp decline in the London market
this morning to the lowest figures yet
reached. although they recovered goodly
proportion of their loss before the close
of the business session.
The London market in general was irreg-
ular, and American stocks were quoted gem
orally below parity with New York's clos
ing figures OF yesterday Operations here
for foreign account bad. however. trifling
net results.
The Trade Reports.
The weekly reports of the mercantile
agencies upon the state of the country's
trade made gratifying exhibits, and in addi-
ton, and despite the indicated loss in cash
set forth in the preliminary estimates or
the principal movements in currency during
the week, there was strong undercurrent
of belief up to the publication of the figures
that the bank statement would show that
the banks had recouped their position and
were again in possession of cash IN excess
of the lawful requirements.
The Metropolitan stocks furnished about
the sole exceptions to the common upward
drift OF prices. Both Metropolitan Street
Railway and Metropolitan Securities were
under pronounced pressure. particularly In
the early dealings, and for time Brooklyn
Rapid Transit was sympathetically Affect
ed. Subsequently. the last named stock
developed aggressive strength and became
one of the leading features of the market
in respect of strength and activity, advanc-
ing to the highest figures it has reached in
several years.
Some Striking Advances.
The industrial and miscellaneous stocks
showed a number OF striking advances, al
though some irreguiarity Of movement
was apparent in that quarter. Tennessee
Coal and Iron and the other southern iron
stocks were favorably Influenced by the
notions prevailing with regard to forth
coming developments in that direction.
American Smelling rose to new high
figures, and New York Air Brake scored
characteristic advance.
Anlalgamated Copper remained decidedly
firm, and the United States Steel shares
were steady on fairly large transactions.
The leading features of the railway list
were Louisville and Nashville, Atlantic
Coast Line and Union Pacific. Price move
ments in that direction were not as rule
extensive and there was no news or gossip
of novelty in connection with even the
more extensive fluctuations observed In

Quotations from commission house litera-

While there has been relaxation in the

consider the difficulties in that quarter past.
Moreover, the foreign situation Is still criti-
cal. We continue to advise against pur

Old BIlIy's Fourth.

Mr.. Editor:-We have just
lad an entertainment at our
beautiful Fair Grounds where
in the horse cut quite a prom
inent figure and there be some
people who are so self-righteous
hat they would not attend be-
cause they do not believe in
racing horses, but, | wonder if
these people ever thought for
one minute how we'll those race
lorses are cared for; always
vatered and fed regularly and
veil groomed to make them
ieel we'll, especially as COM
pared with the horse in the
ordinary walk Of life. Now,

Dear Americans: Please
change your Fourth of July
and have it come on the 10Th
If February. | am 16 years
I'D and all the days of my life,
your Fourth is the very sad
lest. You folks have a good
time and decorate your homes
md the roadways and make
lots of noise and shout and sing
and seem to be so happy, but
think of us poor horses. How
many of us have to stand help
lessly tied to a hitching post
from noon until midnight with
out feed or water. | don't see
how people can enjoy them
selves so immensely when they
know their faithful beasts are
suffering for food and water?
Last Fourth my master took
his young wife to a celebration.
He gave me a light feed of
oats about 10 o'clock and did
not water me as it was so soon
after breakfast. He tied me
to a hitching post and left me
until midnight. How my thrc at
did suffer for just one swallow
of cool water as the hot sun
poured down upon my back
through the long afternoon.
When he and his got into the
buggy at midnight he gave me
a cut with the whip and hurried
home as if | had had two good
feeds that afternoon and plenty
of water. When we got home
the hogs and cattle were beg
ging for food and water, hav-
ing been neglected as badly as
|. He watered and fed me,
but said the rest of the stock
could 60 until morning as it
would be only four or five hours
and he had his good clothes on.
Then the wife said, "Haven't
we had a most glorious time,
John?" And he replied, .Most.
glorious !"
Please, dear free Americans.
change it to February %, so it
won't come so often.
Yours for good time,

YOUNG PEOPLE WITH A CIR.
Gus.
One Of the CAUSES for the Pcpu.
larlty ST the W. p. Nall Cir
Gus Is Its Young BlcOd

Gus 10 ltS lCuuy 0lCOu
A striking feature of the w.
P. Hall Circus is the number of
young people with the show.
This is particularly true of the
women performers, who are all
young and fresh looking. From
the executive staff tothe stars
of the dressing tents, the people
of the w. P. Hall Show are the
most business-like and best-be-
hayed circus people that were
ever in this city.
In other vocations many
times young people displace
other folks because they work
for less salaries. This is not
the case with the w. P. Hall
show. Of the $50 performers
billed by w. P. Hall a majority
of them are young, but they
are paid higher salaries than
any other circus Of the past or
present ever paid. This is an
age of specialists with ring per-
formers. The time was when
a man or woman was paid ac-
cording to the number of acts
they could do. The more and
daring the acts the higher the
salary, and in some instances
two or three could give the
whole show. Not SO now.
When w. p. Hall contracts
with his performers, it is not a
question of quantity, but of
quality. He insists upon hav-
ing the cream of the profess
sion. If the performer can do
only one act, but do it better
than any one else in the whole
wide world, then he is sure of
a place with the Great w. P.
Hall Show. AS the elder mem
bers of the profession depend
ed upon the number and not
the quality of their acts, it is
easy to see why the younger
persons who specialize are given
the preference.
The general air of vigor,
snap and ginger about the
smooth running performance
of Mr.. Halls Show is in a meas
.ure due to the young blood
which Mr.. Hall has infused in
to the circus business.
The Great w. P. Halls Show
will positively exhibit for one
day only, at Mo. Valley Satur-
day, July 9Th.
