 The opinion of the small extent which investment holdings of stocks are being marketed, finds an exceptton in the case Of foreign holdings. of which free offerings are coming home according to experts in the foreign ex- change and international stock mar ket. This is believed to form an ln- portant element in the persistent strength of the foreign exchange mar ket which brought a revival of talk of possible gold exports during the week A special factor in .he foreign exchange market was the requirements for redemption of New York City reve- nue bonds. falling due in London on November l..
 This requirement in itself is not suf- 1cient to cause the extraordinary strength in New York. or the un- equalled excess of merchandise ex- ports from this country since the ist 1 of January, the unusually small bor- rowings abroad through the summer | on finance bills and the small draw | ings of exchange, heretofore, in any 1 ticipation of the crop movements.

Saturday was a big day with the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, Every train south of Montgomery and as far as New Orleans was exactly on time. the two divisions working on time to the fraction of gnatss heel. Besides this, more trains were handled through Montgomery than any day for the last year, sthirty-f five, in all, pass ing the station. Of these. twenty three wore .freights. including s70 load ed cars. This is greater, amount of business than has been handled here for a long time. even for several years before the panic; once or twice days almost as big in the freight line have been known, but never a day with the whole southern, end of the traffc.
 or late the road . has been paying more and more attention to it's rolling stock. The engines. it Is safe to say. are more carefully inspected and taken care of than any other road doing business in the South, and even this. careful attention Is being. im- proved. sT r.-. .~-r

This material is guard ed jea1ously and to become a part of arlocomotive every piece of metal in Its makeup Is rigidly tested before being used. The road pays more for it's material than any other in this sec tion' and this care Is showing now in the, splendid, results that are obtained.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

New York Sept. 13.-Last weeks op- erations in the stock market showed the stimulating effect of the re1und- ant condition of the money market by a further rise Tn prices in the first few days.
 The sharp reaction which accom- panied the small furry in the call money of the latter part of the week was a testimony of the important part played on the speculation by the ease of the money market The abundance of funds which could be procured on call at one per cent or under, consti- tuted a strong taking on of stock holdings and marking up of priceb. The operations to this end have been frankly ascribed to a limited circle of very wealthy capitalists. with the fol- lowing of strict professional oper- ators who trade in and out of the market in the wake of such a move ment. There has been general agree ment among commission houses that the general public were taking small part in the activity in the market. The inference from this condition would be that the active dealings on the stock exchange were not effectinz any wide spread distribution of stock s. There is equal agreement. On the oth CT hand. that substantial holders of stock. have shown little disposition to market their holdings in spite of the attractive level to which prices have been lifted by the summers rise.
 The readtustment of prices was justified in the minds of its promoters by the low interest rate for money compared with the rate on securities and revival in business activity. That the money condition was outrunning the business improvement as a domin- ant in favor of the stock market, has been growing suspicion which Is em- phasized by the revision called for of some of the earlier estimates of the latter factor. The hopes at one time entertained of bumper grain crop have disappeared in face of the gov ernment's estimate of the September condition, published last week. The promise of good average crops and at profitable prices which is now in pros- pect, does not alter the necessity for speculative readjustment of earlier and more sanguine estimates. The mod crate rate of recuperation in the iron and steel trade and the lack of eV- idence that railroad earnings arc be-
