market opened very steady at an advance
OK 2aS points and soon Increased the gain
to matter of 7a9 points on the active
months on a renewal of the buying Of

noted during yesterdays session. Cables
were barely as high expected. and
brokers with important Liverpool connec-
tons were heavy sellers at the advance.
with the result that the market during
the middle of the morning acted nervous
and unsettled, with Quotations very irregu-
lar around the opening figures.

Bartlett. Frazier & Darlington In this
weeks letter say:
We have not hesitated from time to time
to express distinct opinion on the market.
and at the present time we desire to reiter-
ate our bullishness on good stocks. The
long side OF the market is the logical one.
and 1t In a certainty that stocks are going
very much higher. The monetary situation
has Strengthened itself out much more
quickly than had been expected. and the
fear OF gold exports has evaporated. This
does not mean that there will be no gold ex-
ports. but 1t Is certain that the amount
viii not be large nor the consequences seri-
GUS. Conditions throughout the country
are without parallel with regard to pros
perity. and railroads and industrial cor
poration are facing q year OF unexampied
prosperity. The railroads are In good shape
especially and the stocks of the more i'm
portant lines will undoubtedly sell very
much higher"

The narrowness Of the market, to use an
expression which II employed to describe .
condition when there Is not much doing. was
pretty well illustrated by the course OF
things at today's meeting of the stock ex-
change.
sale. The interest period on these securi-
ties closed January 1, SO that the interest
due is only for the first few days OF the
present month The selling was from 10S
which was the bid price Of yesterday. down
to 1O2h
As the issue of these bonds Is a small one
the present price Is considered a rather low
one for per cent bonds issued by such q
company. but the demand was SO light that
they were offered freely at lower figures and
the buyers were few. The trading was not
at all general. and while the volume Of the
sales ran up into large figures. the actual
transfers will probably not amount to as
much.
The 6 per cent certificates pursued an
opposite course. and while there was not
much done In them. the figures were higher
than was the case yesterday. The same
might be said of the stock Of the gas
company. which sold on highersley than
has been recorded for some days past. The
amount of the dealing was slight, still one
quotation lot sold as high as COZ.
Capital Traction stock sold higher. but
there was not much for sale. There seemed
to be a good deal of the preferred stock of
the Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany for sale, and under the influence CT
persistent offering prices ran down an en-
tire point compared with the record Of
yesterday. The trading started on them
level yesterday, namely OH. and there was
some buying at that level, but 1t was found
that there was cheaper stock. and when
that was taken still more to be had for
less, and SO the stock went off 90sz bid at
the close.
In the case Of the common stock the con-
dition was similar to that with the pre-
ferred. except 1t was buying instead Of
selling. The demand for the stock just as
was the selling of the preferred was con-
fined in its extent. but 1t served to keep
the prices about on the same level as was
gained yesterday.
Better figures were bid for the bonds Of
the telephone company. as 1O415 was bid and
the asking price was a half point in ad-
vance. A high recent record In the case OF
the stock was made when quotation lot OF
twenty-five shares went for SO. The course
of this stock continues to be upward with
out making much of figure In the record
of transactions.
A couple Of trades were made in the Nit
chell mining stock at 111h and to LIZ. which,
compared with the bid prices OF yesterday
for the stock, which was los. shows an
advance Of nearly q point.

Great Deal of Liquidation.

However, there has unquestionably been
great deal of liquidation In the stock
market of the week. and the insignificant
change in the loan item may owe some
thing 20 that fact
The banks now hold in excess of the law
ful requirements $12. sos ESQ. which is Just
about 30 per cent of the surplus reserves
reported In the corresponding week last
year and two years ago.
Immediately before the appearance of the
baak statement the rket advanced ALI
around, but on the publication of the state
ment there was a heavy realizing move
nent which speedily carried prices back to
the lower levels of the first hour.

Carpenter, Baggot & Co. in their weekly
review say;
Extreme stress in the money situation
Is relieved, but with no great ease In rates
and only comparative cheapness Rumors
of gold exports have acted as a moderate
check to speculation, but the volume of
business is large and commission houses
have as much as they can conveniently
handle While "the public Is not In the
market to the same extent as is usual In
big bull markets, there is no doubt that the
outside interest Is greater than 1t has been
since the decline of two years ago, and Is
increasing. The immediate outlook for
money Is not definitely determinal, and
until this Is settled trading market with
unusual opportunities will most likely pre-
vail.
Distribution of moderate extent has
been accomplished at fair profits nv in
terests that have supported the market
and accumulated large lines of stocks dur
Ing the periods of depression and high
money previous to the new year."

n
The Weekly Financial Review of + q
Bache & Co. says:
There can be little doubt Of the stability
OF the market which withstood the de-
pressing influence of liquidation such as
took place early this week. Many OF the
traders felt that the market temporarily
had been overbought
Merger plans also played a considerable
influence on the steel companies shares
during the week. Tennessee Coal and Iron
stock moved UP sharply on small transac-
tons, and Its advance was followed by ad-
yances in Sloss-Sheff1eId, Republic Iron and
Steel issues and in Colorado Fuel and Iron.
These advances were probably largely man
ipulative. but are said to be due to merger
plans for the southern iron and steel COM
panies
Railroad shares have again become mar
ket leaders, and II any particular stock
movement is calculated to inspire public
confidence In the present level OF prices Il
10 the renewal OF strength and activity In
the shares OF the Pennsylvania railroad and
Its allied companies. Pennsylvania has sold
much higher and should public buying come
into this market as In 1901 these shares
would undoubtedly have largo advance.
fhe situation Is satisfactory. There are
few factors at present apparent which NAV
have an adverse influence ON prices Money
10 again on an easy basis and beyond occa-
sional furries win probably continue at
normal rates. Speculation has not been
ex cessive. as yet. and 1t must be remember
ed that the volume of stocks has not been
augmented to any large extent during the
last three years."

Pressure on Consolidated Gas.

OF course, the only point cited In connec-
ton with the pressure on Consolidated Gas
was the tenor of the dispatches from A
bany TO the effect that the prospects for
the enactment of an SO-cent gas bin at this
session of the legislature We're very bright.
There would be no particular point in Sc
decting issues for comment because of their
4irmneSs or activity in this mornings deal
ings. There was again no news of particu-
lar or general Importance bearing on the
securities market, and the most noteworthy
facts of the day were more or less technical
matters suggested by the transactions and
course Cf prices themselves. London sent
over range of prices for American stocks
tending upward on the whole, and followed
up the dealings over there by limited pur-
chases here. No particular amount of IN
fluence on the market was caused by antici-
pationS as to che nature of the bank state
ment. The preliminary forecasts OF this
exhibit were in general agreement that 1t
would be a very brilliant showing.

The Bank Statement.

Hopes with regard 10 The bank statement
We're fully realized. An increase of S12,-
237 TOO in reserves was shown, which was
all accounted for by the gain IT cash of
$15,6o3,500 Loans increased $685.. 300 only.
and deposits increased S13, 463. 40. The
statement made a rather poor balance In
respect to the changes in cash and loans
and deposits.
The gain in cash was 100000 In excess
of the amount shown by the known move
ments of money, but 1t is presumed that
the statement today corrected some of the
defects of last weeks exhibit, which failed
to reflect fully the improving position of
the banks at that time.
The increase in loans reported today was
far below the expectations considering the
way in which the stock market has adj
Vauced in price, and also on the view of the
stories current as to the shifting of g. con-
siderable amount of speculative account
