MONEY FOR THE COUNTRY.
In Eleven Months Chicago Banks Sent
Out $3.50, 1895 $40.

CHICAGO, December 6.-In the eleven
months between January 1 and November
30 the banks of Chicago shipped $3.50 199. =
$40 to the country. In the same time the
currency receipts from the east were s43,-
5000 while the receipts from other
sources were SOL 555 62O, the total received
thus making a total of 500. 47S 620.
/ The loss sustained on the currency move
ment for the period was $G3. 726, 22o. or an
average of $1.SoO0c per month. This loss
is sustained largey by eleven banks, which
do an extensive country trade.
This Is the first year that records of the
Chicago currency shipments have been
kept. SO that comparison with the record
Of forme. years is impossible brit 1t is sa fe
to sly that the less through the country

been he fore.
\ In November the banks shipped SIG 59l $40

NEW YORK. December 6-The an
nouncement by the Secretary of the
Treasury last evening of his purpose to
relieve the money market through the pre-
payment OF interest on the government
debt maturing up to May 1 next led to a
slight advance in the stock market at the
opening of business. but prices almost i'm
mediately developed a sagging tendency.
1t was quickly recognized that, however
good the intentions of the Secretary were.
the actual amount involved in the trans
action would be wholly inadequate to re-
1ieve the monetary stringency.
So far. of course the actual results of the
prepayment of the interest on the govern
ment bonds has played no part In money
market conditions but II might have been
expected that some sentimental reflections
of the proposition might have been wit
messed. On the contrary, the renewal rates
on standing loans were early fixed at =
per cent and % per cent, and during the
greater part of the business session money
on call rang 1 between 20 and % per cent.
English Rate Of Discount.
The Bank of England's rate of discount
was left unchanged at per cent, and the
banks weekly statement was an encourage
ing exhibit for this period of the year.
Only small reduction in the percentage
of reserves to liabilities shown, in
spite of the bank large losses of gold
through the shipments to Egypt and South
America.
American stocks were decidedly strong
in the London stock market because OF
Secretary Shaw's announcement of yester-
day and foreign houses were once more
buyers in the local dealings taking up
ward of 250OO shares on balance, largely
of United States Steel common. In view
of the conveyance of interest upon money
market conditions and the absence of i'm
provement in that direction II might be
said that today's stock market gave
comparatively good account of itself
There was d considerable falling off in the
volume of business. and while the prices
showed a declining tendency during the
greater part of the day there was still
noteworthy absence of real pressure and
genuine liquidation. There were few
ket affairs.
Transfers of Currency.
Additional transfers of currency were
made to New Orleans through the sub
treasury today, and this mornings figures
Showed loss by the banks to that insti-
tuition since last Friday Of nearly s5,9OO.OOO
Sterling exchange was materially weaker
in connection with money market circum-
stances but there little discussion
with regard to the imminence of fmporta-
ton of gold. although the strength of the
general London stock market was In part
due to the belief that Secretary Shaw
action would obviate the necessity for ad-
ditional shipments of gold from London to
New York. In the time money market the
same close conditions prevailed which have
observed several

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The high rate for money in New Yorl;
does not seem to affect the local situation
to any great extent. at least II the charac-
ter Of the trading at today's meeting OF the
stock exchange affords any basis for an
opinion In regard to the financial condition
locally. While there was no great volume
OF business done. still what was done was
on a good l.vei. and the demand was fairly
active for such issues that are usually
dealt In.
There was nothing done in the issues OF
the Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany to speak of, but IL there had been
any wish to trade an opportunity was
offered at the prices which have prevailed.
The bid for the common was ~. as was
the case yesterday. and the asking price
was half a point higher.
The principal dealer in the stock bid
81 600 cash for an option for sixty days
on one thousand shares OF the common
stock at A, but It was not taken.
In the case of the preferred stock OF the
company the bid rem -ined firmly at 81. an
advance over that Of yesterday Of an eighth
Of point. The asking price was half a
point in advance of that
Gas stock was to be had at 50, but there
was not q very strong desire to sell. as the
bid was only an eighth of point below the
day. The trading was confined to few
blocks and did not appear to be OF much
consequence, although any movement IN
this security usually attracts good deal
of attention, for the reason that the I'M
expected seems always to be imminent IN
the market for this stock.
There was nothing done of any amount
in the two copper stocks which are listed
on the exchange. Meeting the demand 1or
options In the case of Greene Copper fur-
nished slight market for the stock.
Somewhat lower figures were recorded In
the case of Mitchell Mining. but there was
no trading. There was a meeting of some
of the stockholders of the company In this
city last evening, and the president. Mr.
Mitchell was present and made state
ment in regard to the affairs Of the COM
pany.
vote of confidence in his administra-
ton was adopted before the meeting ad-
journed
Financial matters in the national legis-
lature appear to be likely to occupy good
deal of attention during the present ses-
sion. There is an effort to be made to
bring about a greater elasticity IN the
volume Of currency, and only yesterday
bill passed the House giving to national
banks the authority to loan money on
real estate, while the observations of the
Secretary Of the Treasury on the subject
Of the relations of the Treasury Depart
ment to the financial market may bring up
the subject of central bank which may
regulate the financial situation or its al
tentative, OF having the treasury assume
such function.
