Money More Plentiful in London
Rates Easier

LONDON, May 13-Money was more
plentiful in the market today and rates
were easier, owing to the redemption OF
$4,000, 600 in treasury bills. Discounts were
easier on the prospects of the arrivals Of
bar gold being taken by the Bank Of Eng
land next week.
Trading on the stock exchange opened
quiet and cheerful. but later consols were
a shade easier. Home rails were irregular.
Americans opened firm and generally in
active at round parity. They sagged later
and closed steady.
Foreigners generally were firm and high
er, and especially Continentals. Imperial
Japanese government Is Of 1904 were
quoted at 1908.

Federal Control of Railway Rates.

A considerable effect has been produced
by the revival of discussion over attempts
TO establish federal control OF railroad rates
which was brought into attention again by
the Presidents public addresses on the sub
Ject at Denver and at Chicago and by the
incisive remarks of the Secretary of War
before the international railway congress-
The subject gained force from the effect
on certain stocks of state legislation for
regulation of rates for gas In New York
and Chicago. An impression had been
growing that the course of the hearing on
rate control before the Senate committee
had modified the prospects for insistence on
the rate-making power for a government
body. and the announcement OF the admin
istration policy on the question dissipated
this impression.
Railroad earnings currently reported are
o maintained above last years figures but
the ratio OF increase is less than in March
and gross earnings for the first week of
May show some decline from the April
ratio OF increase over last year. The team
sters' strike at Chicago is the assigned
cause OF some falling off in traffic but
there is a shrinkage in the grain move
ment as well.
European politics have had share In
causing uncertainty and consequent dis
inclination to buy stocks, the friction over
the observance of neutrality opening up
) the dangerous consequences which would
ensue from the embodiment of the allies of
the present belligerents in the contest

JAPAN AND OUR GOLD.
Will Exports From United States to
Tokyo Be ResumedP


Tokyo Correspondence New York Evening Post.
The inquiry comes to us why Japan
has imported gold from New York
in December and January. when It
was previously a heavy export to you.
The reason is that, under present circum-
stances, there Is no necessity for the Specie
Bank to keep large balance of specie In
New York to meet exchange bills. There
was another reason In December, however.
At one time 1t looked as II the legal limit
for issue of redeemable paper currency
would be exceeded; as result, the Bank
Of Japan thrice raised its rates of interest.
About April last year, the amount of re-
deemable currency outstanding stood at
1SS, 600 900 yen. Each succeeding month the
amount increased, until at the end of last
December It had reached 2360O0. 900 yen.
At the beginning Of the New Year, money
out on loan began to return to the Bank of
Japan. and the deposits. too, began to In
redeemable currency In circulation had
overlooked that during last year fully 60 :
600 600 yen Of this currency was sent to Ko-
req and Manchuria, so that the amount cir
cdlattng In Japan proper was never much
over the average.
It was largely to check gold overflow
and thus prevent too great expansion
in redeemable paper currency that the gov
eminent raised the two early loans In Eng
land and America, amounting In all TO f22
000. eco, and thus, though there were heavy
specie payments abroad to meet and an ex-
port Of bullion OF 1856. COO yen, the redeem
able paper currency was kept well within
the limit.

Erie Coal Company Faces Big Strike.

dispatch from Wilkesbarre, Pa, says:
A strike of all the 5000 employees of the
Erie Coal Company is rapidly developing
Thursday 100 went out and yesterday 800
more at the No. 1 and Mountain collieries
Joined them. Others are expected to strike
tomorrow, despite the efforts of officials to
keep them at work. The men have been
irritated for some time by the refusal Of
the company to grant their demands for
appointment of check weighmen at each
colliery and complain of excessive dack-
ages.
They say that from six collieries no less
than nineteen petitions have been sent to
the company. each signed by majority
ing of the strike commission, and the men
say all these have been ignored. They
also assert that the company has intimi-
dated some Of the signers and induced
them to withdraw their names. They are
further irritated by their failure to get
the matter before the strike commission.

The Iron and Steel Trade.

Keen attention is given to the course OF
the iron and steel trade owing to the great
Importance attached to that trade as an
index of conditions throughout the indus
trial and commercial world. The influence
from this source has not been helpful to
stocks owing to the statistical showing
that the prodigious production of pig iron
has at length overtaken consumption. re-
sutfng in an addition TO stocks in the
hands of merchant furnaces during April.
The rate of production is still expanding,
promising a new record of output for May.
For April the expanded output has been ac-
companied by a shrinkage in actual con-
sumption. Significance is attached to the
fact that the United States steel corpora
ton has determined to buy no iron in the
open market for May although 1t is re-
ported that its purchases may be renewed
9af iJune. 1t has been evident for some
time that events have been tending toward
this condition and the actual increase in
stocks on hand now reported is small.
But the Iron Age points out that the fact
will be widely interpreted as an indication
that the tide has turned. With the sta
bility of prices affected 1t is to be expected
that buying for future requirements will be
cautious Evidence of selling of the steel
stocks for the account Of some of the great
centers of the trade has added to the in
fuence of this factor in unsettling views
over the general outlook for business.

NEW YORK BANKS.
Notable Features of This Weeks Of
fetal Statement.

NEW YORK, May 13-The Financier
says this week:
The most notable features of the official
statement of the New York associated
banks last week were an increase instead
of the looked-for contraction in loans; a
moderate loss of cash; an Increase in de-
posits, and consequently in the reserve re-
quirements, and decrease in the surplus
reserve very nearly corresponding in
amount with the previous weeks gain in
this item. The increase of 1885, 600 in
loans was chiefly due to syndicate opera
tions-two banks alone showing Sc, 400 600
of this expanson-the requirements for
speculation on the stock exchange were
much too small, because of general market
depression, to account for any augmenta-
ton in borrowing
The loss of $43G,400 in cash resulted al
most wholly from subtreasury operations
incident to the surrender of public funds
in anticipation of the maturity, on Mon
day of this week, of the first installment
amounting to S14,250,000 of the call is
sued on April for s29000,000 of govern
ment deposits; had it not been for these
treasury operations the banks would have
shown gain in cash as the result of the
interbank movement and also of receipts
of new gold represented by assay office
checks.
Bank Deposits Increased.
Deposits were increased $6,321 800, which
amount was less by $S36.s0O than the sum

of this weeks surrenders of public funds

1t Is expected that the surrenders which
will be made today will cause some de-
rangement to bank conditions this week
but with money so cheap and surplus re-

turbance of loan rates need be feared The
daily average of bank clearings last week
was S71 100000, against 1865 eco 600 In

LONDON. May 13.-Stocks looked q tribe

ness transacted during the week, but firm-
ness has been a marked feature in the
market. and In most departments the ten
dency has been toward higher prices. Some
persons whose financial opinions carry q
good deal of weight profess to believe
there has been a turn in the market and
that another advance has begun which will
continue until the bulls shall have become
once more overloaded.
This weeks settlement is maintained, but
marked at the close by Shrinkage that
has been going on for month or more.
About everything In the market is getting
down quite low enough to warrant new
start. This optimism Is by no means uni
versal Spectators and investors, as a
4 ule, continue to regard the situation as
quite doubtful and abstain from predic-
lions of better days in the near future.
Considerable satisfaction is felt on all
sides at the fact that consuls again have
gone over the ninety mark, leading the way

flying gains, though dealings in those
stocks have not been heavy. Americans
have recovered a good percentage of their
recent losses and are in much better favor
than a short time ago.
Foreign governments have been the weak
stocks for the last few days, the situa-
iety of continental bourses growing out Of
the conditions relating to the far eastern
conflict. Mines have been irregular and
closed heavy and weak.

At the bank he is called William, that ID,
of course by Mr.. Glover. On the exchange
he is generally spoken of as VIII, except
when the president wants to express trrita-
ton or disgust and then he calls him Bill.
Uncle Dan'l. as Mr.. Daniel Fraser is some
times addressed, has his own methods OF
doing business on the exchange. Some OF
the members evidently think their way is
the best but their attempts to help In one
of Uncle DanTs trades generally turn out
to be failures. 1t is all very funny to the
onlookers, and when the expected result
comes along some one Is apt to sagely re-
mark:
Uncle Dan'l don't need a nurse"
1t is not uncommon to run in a general
debate on the regular call or at any old
time that seems to suit. Generally the tax
is started by something that occurs either
In the trading or by the remark OF some
broker.
The other day a discussion was percipi-
tated which developed into consideration
of the knotty question Of the moral side OF
a course which was allowable under the
rules No conclusion was reached, as IS
usual with these offhand debates, but still
1t was Stoutly maintained that because
thing was permitted by the rules, that did
not necessarily give it a clean bill of health
from an ethical point of view.

or less influence the amount of business
done on the exchange, for while there is
golf every day and other diversions, the
clubs up the river do not begin to call the
