the university he planned to become

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE Ffnancier
says this week:

efforts by the banks to rectify their reserve

satisfactory amount This was accom-
plished. however, chiefly through hquida-
ton In loans. the cash gain contributing
only $T,93S, 200 to the Improvement, this sum
very closely corresponding with the average
amount which was generally estimated upon
the basis of the traceable movements or
money during the week.
1t is noteworthy that the gain was due
largely to net receipts over shipments
through the interbank movement, and also
to increased disbursements by the treasury
The loans decreased $23, ABA 200, largely be-
cause of the continuous liquidation In spec
ulative accounts on the stock exchange dur
ing the week. The deposits were reduced
$21 SIS, 100, which amount is only $S3 IO0
greater than the sum of the decreased loans.
less the gain in cash. The statement, there
FORE made unusually good proof
The required reserve against general de-
posits decreased 1894, 925, which, with the
increase In cash. made 81 .333, 125 as the gain
in reserve to $4,772, 800 surplus, against 81
560,625 deficiency in the week of April Z.
Computed upon the basis of $12 $50, 700 pub
lie deposits-which increased $549 800 COM
pared with the previous week-the surplus
is $7,S42.G7 1t may be noted that Deem
Der 0, when a deficiency of 81 246,525 In re-
serve was reported, there was recovery in
the following week of $5,2o7,6 900, to $780,

The loans last week were $27, Ala, COO in ex-

clearings last week was $40, coo, coo, against
1910 600, 600 in the previous week. Clearings
on Saturday, rejecting Fridays business,
were $30I ,4G2, 430. Comparisons of loans by

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, April 14.-Bearish crop re-
ports which resulted in liberal profit-tak-
ing caused weakness today in the local
wheat market. At the close the May de-

Oats showed loss of 1saA. Provisions
were unchanged to 10c higher.
The market opened strong on an active
demand by shorts and commission houses.
the May option being up 1sah to SAN at
S0$4 to 81. The frmness was due to re-
ports of unfavorable weather in the north
west, where the seeding of spring wheat Is
said to have been delayed by rain. The
prediction of an English statistician who
estimated that the worlds movement for
last week would be less by 2.032, COO BUSH
els than the previous week lent strength
to the market.
The Initial advance caused free selling
by numerous small holders and in addt-
ton q prominent long became an active
seller. AS the session advanced selling be-
came general and prices declined sharply.
The bears were encouraged by a forecast
of clear weather tomorrow and by the re-
ceipts of many reports telling of favor

The state reports of Texas and Oklahoma
both declared the condition Of the new
crop to be perfect Large primary receipts,

ago, increased the weakness.
The lowest point for May was reached
at 1874 The close was weak with May at
197saS0. Clearances of wheat and -four
were equal to 9S, 600. Exports for the week
as shown by Bradstreets were equal to 2,
100000 bushels. Minneapolis and Duluth
and Chicago reported receipts of 21S cars
against 284 cars last week and 23O cars
one year ago.
The weather was the leading factor in
the corn market. The rainfall of the last
two days caused bullsh sentiment at the
opening, but with the forecast of clear
weather for tomorrow the market became
weak. The local bears and cash interests
were the principal sellers. The market
closed weak at about the lowest point of
the day. The May option opened NAN to
Aaas higher at 46%4 to 461s, sold off to 40

WHO HAS THE sToCKsp
The Present as Distinguished From the
Markets of December and February,

From the New York Evening Post
When stock market boom Is at its
height, and every one who buttonholes
you at the downtown street corner tells
how all arguments point toward buying
puzzled inquirers sometimes ask, who
sells the stocks? p In a three million-share
day." no less than three million shares
must have been sold by somebody. When
values have collapsed and the word goes
out to sell before it is too late, and when
you meet nobody who is not selling. the
same perplexed observer wonders. who
buys the stocks? On the million-share
days, when the market collapsed under
general selling" buying orders for a mil
lion shares per diem must have been ex-
ecuted by some one.
There Is still another puzzle. which has
much disturbed the financial mind this
week. 1t Is this: When stock exchange
liquidation is complete; when "pools' and
clfques" have sold out and repaid their
bank loans; when brokers report that their
on1ces are bare of stocks and their GUS
toners our of the market-who has the
stocks? There are certainly lust as MANY
securities outstanding there were before
Who has them?
There Is really no great mystery in the
matter. In very large measure the same
people have them now as had them last
summer. The extravagant winter boom"
IN prices sustained by spectators and
the pubic, enabled large capitalists TO
sell at@a handsome profit much OF what
they were holding for investment The sub
sequent swift break, bringing the market
back to the level OF last summer. gave
these same capitalists a chance to buy
back what they chose Of their former
holdings. Added to this, Of course, is a
considerable amount OF stocks, bought out
right by rash outsiders" at the top and
by shrewd ones at the bottom
The case is not that of 1901 Stocks
really seemed to disappear in quantity
that year, and nobody could trace them
All that was known, even three or four
months later, was that railways were buy-
Ing stocks In their felow-railways and
''syndicates'' buying stock in pretty much
everything else. What this ACCOMPLISHED
was to tie up a given amount of securi-
ties for longer time than usual AS soon.
however, as the railways who had bought
up each others stock began to deluge the
market with collateral trust bonds based
on the purchased stock, and the under
writing syndicates" tried to do something
more than underwrite, the bottom seemed
to have fallen from the market That was
not until 1862 was nearly over. But for
two years 'tie-up' of stocks such as then
occurred free access to life insurance sur4
pluses by Wall street was a necessity.

TRACING ORDERS. !"
How the Source of Speculative Opera
lions is Determined.

From the New York Evening Post
Much curiosity Is expended by the gem
eral public on the manner In which the
source of important buying or selling Or
ders is discovered on the stock exchange
The usual answer Is that, in some cases,
the principal is known by the broker ex-
ecuting the orders but that even when the
original source Is disguised through dis
tribution" of orders through several hands,
brokers will draw differences, and viii talk
to one another The London Economist
thus answers the same question. from the
London stock exchange point of view:

that there were German hopes of peace

DOMAIN upon Scotch speculation for him to
pay much attention to these sometimes
conventional phrases.
Nevertheless, 1t is important to localize
the source of inspiration for price move
ments where possible, and the stock ex-
change does this by noticing the brokers
whose orders create such fluctuations. Some
firms, by reason OF their connection With
promotions, etc. are identified with Japa-
nese and Chinese interests. Others, sub
scrlbing to the Paris telephone service, are
watched to see whether they buy or sell
when returning to the market after a con-
versation with the French capital. II deal

deductions drawn from such incidents as
those cited are not always accurate. Some

their hands for time; at other times 1t
does not. But careful inquiry will FREE

THE FOREIGN MARKETS
THE USUAL HOLIDAY WEEK
DULLNEss MARKED LONDON.

Special Cahlegram to The Star.
LONDON. April 14.-The stock exchange
proper did very little business this week,
the usual holiday dullness being greatly in
tensifed on account of the preparations
here and on the continent for the large new
issues Of continental securities.
These new issues seemed to be absorbing
about all of the loose funds in London,
Paris and Berlin. and also to be causing
considerable stiffening in money rates. The
talk here is that within another ten days
there will be a recovery from this depress-
ing influence. and that then there will be a
revival of the interest in stocks this market
is accustomed to trade in, provided nothing
else Of a discouraging nature comes to pass.
Stock brokers do not seem to feel abso-
luteiy confident that there will be clear sail
ing when once the big continental loans are
out Of the way, but they are very hopeful.
Their hopefulness was reflected in the tone
of the markets all through the week, most
stocks holding their own and some improv-
Ing slightly. Consols were practically un-
changed. When the markets closed Thurs
day night foreign governments had receded
fractionally as a rule, but there had been
gains, notably one of a point and half in
Hungarian gold rentes. British rails were
generally higher than at last weeks closing.
Americans, of course, are weaker, prices
here following Wall streets lead.
Mines were just a bit better than last
week, continental and inside support having
helped them somewhat.
By Associated Press.
LONDON, April 14.-On the stock ex-
change during the week business was re-
stricted by the approach of the holidays and
the conclusion of the settlement, but the
markets generally displayed steady un-
dertone. Operators took hopeful view of
the future and quotations were not allowed
to fall away beyond a slight easing of con-
soils on the withdrawal of gold from the
Bank Of England for American account.
Home rails finished distinctly firm in an
ticipation of good traffic returns for Easter
Despite the dearness of money In New York
the values of Americans here have been
steadily maintained, due almost wholly to
Wall street buying, which considerably in
creased the size of the account already
being carried on this side. Among the for
eigners Japanese were favored and again
improved several points. United Railways
of Havana also received much attention.
Money eased off considerably with the
government disbursements, but the discount
market appeared nervous owing to the keen
competition for gold between Paris and
New York. The latter pays extreme rates
for all the available supplies, and 1t is con-
fidently expected the S2,5OO,0o0 which will
be available In the market next week will
go to New York.
BERLIN, April 14.-There was holiday
on the boerse today.
PARIS, April 14.-Trading on the bourse
today opened quiet and then became ami
mated. Prices were firm on the pubItca-
ton of official confirmation that the terms
for the issue of the Russian loan had been
settled.
Russian imperial is were quoted at $3.50
and Russian bonds of 1904 at 500.
