MANCHESTER, England. October o.
In the cloth market during the week,
with the far eastern markets quiet. the
condition of business in that quarter is
very low. while speculative transactions
were checked by the rise In the Bank Of
England's rate Of discount. South Amer

NEW YORK BANKS.

NEW YORK, October 23.-The state
ment of clearing house banks for the
week shows that the banks hold $16-
643,S25 more than the requirements of
the Is per cent reserve rule This is
an increase of $685. TOO in the proper
Tomato cash reserve, as compared with
last week.
The statement follows:

The percentage of actual reserve Of the
clearing house banks today was 1851.
The statement of banks and trust COM
ing to the clearing house shows that
those institutions have aggregate deposits
of $1.2S9. 300; total cash on hand,
$151 .O98, 900. and loans amounting to ST.
21O.323.30
Close-Prime mercantile paper, 3 to 51k

bills, 4S3a4S3A: bar silver, 50A: Mexican
dollars 43. Government bonds steady.
Railroad bonds irregular.
The Financier will say:
The statement of the associated banks
of the city of New York for the week
ending October % was rather favorable
in character, the report of actual condi-
tons having revealed a moderate increase
of $3,9S8, 200 in loans and gain OF
$2.313, 400 in cash. Deposits. owing to the
changes just mentioned. expended $4.077,-
700. which. while it brought up reserve
requirements by nearly one and
wipe out the full effect of the
cash expansion, and the reserve therefore
rose $1,O6S.975, the surplus Of Saturday
standing at $18.607 $50. The report, based
on averages, was quite different in char
acter, indicating a heavy decrease in
loans amounting to IS. TAI, 300, an increase
of about $5O0O,OOO In cash. with about the
same amount of a decrease In deposits,
and an increase in reserve Of 1882, 100.
The surplus reserve. however. both in the
statement Of averages and actual opera
tons, worked out about the same. so that
the average can be taken as rejecting the
previous weeks transactions. In the state
ment of trust companies not affiliated
with the clearing house, there seems to
be no indication of the transfer of loans
from London to New York. as the loans
of the trust companies decreased last
week SO 800 while their net deposits
decreased 81. 7S0, 100.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 23.-Demand
sterling exchange, which in the late att
ernoon yesterday fell to 4.S7ls, or to a
point at which gold exports on any basis
were impossible. rallied shortly after the
opening of business today to 4.S1A, which
again made gold shipments near posi-
bility. Partly on account of this, no
doubt, but more reasonably because or the
general state of speculative apprehension
at the moment. the stock market again
declined today and with about as much
violence as it did Friday. Of course, spec
ulators for the decline assisted the fall,
but the bulk of the decline was plainly
due to liquidation. Net recessions were
scattered to about the same extent as
they were yesterday, although the fall in
United States Steel common stock was
relatively. less than it has been recently
on days of general market decline.
An unfavorable impression was made by
the pronounced weakness of the Great
Northern preferred and Northern Pacific
stocks. These are stocks which during
the summer participated but little in the
advancing tendency of the market, and
a fair argument from the fact had seemed
to be that these particular shares would
present as firm front as any in the time
of general decline due to technical mar
ket reasons. Union Pacific common stock,
too, was an especially weak issue and de-
clined nearly four points. 1t is matter
worthy Of note. too, that the days fall
went on regardless of a prevailing antici-
patton that the weekly bank statement
would report a considerable increase in
reserve. The published return certainly
justified these anticipations. for it exhib-
tied an increase In the average surplus
of $6.3520OO brought about by cash in
crease of S5,OOO,OOO and a decrease in
loans of s.. 747, 900 and an increase in the
actual surplus of 81, 06s, 975, which was the
joint result of an increase in cash Of over
COO and an increase in bank loans
of 81 ON OO0

Situation Regarded as Clouded.

Meanwhile. it is to be observed that the
existing situation from the speculative
point Of view will probably be considered
more or less cloudy here until after the
termination of the Forthcoming English
financial settlement. 1t is a point that
does not seem entirely clear whether pay
ment for the stocks recently sold in this
market for English account or for the ac-
count of the American borrowers OF money
in London VINO have closed out their
loans there and transferred them to this
side of the Atlantic, has or has not been
sufficiently provided for by purchases of
exchange here.
Something that is 'indisputable is that
such declines In the stock market as &C.
Cured yesterday and today obviously
bring the market nearer to level at
which pressure upon il may be expected

Private Credit Extended.

Sl,oO,Uo ana an increase In bank loans
of $4,OOO,OO
Private Credit Extended.
Moreover. just as was the case last
week. the statement of the banks outside
the Clearing House Association was very
remarkable. These institutions decreased
their loans over $40. 900 and reported
small increase in cash. AS throughout
the week prices have moved steadily
downward, and naSmuch as it is plain
that at least considerable amount of
foreign loans have been taken up by
home bankers. there can be no question
that the process hitherto named by bank
ing authorities as that which has been
the true source of the immense loan
contraction that has taken place in our
country In the last four weeks is again
continuing its work. namely an unlock
ing of private financial resources, or, in
other words. a private extension of credit
on large scale. 1t can hardly be con-
tended that under the circumstances that
have prevailed here, in England and on
the continent of Europe during the past
week our bankers have again managed to
relieve themselves by successful appeals
to foreign lenders, and the proof now
presented must be held to be conclusive
that the potential credit of our own
country and the possibility of changing
inactive forms of money into active
forms has been and is vast.
There was during the day on the floor
of the stock exchange a rumor of highly
favorable import, to the effect that the
Bank of France has expressed willing
ness to release either directly or indi-
rectly large sum of money for the
especial benefit of the English financial
market. Conversely, the Bank Of England
raised its bid price today for American
gold, and the current impression was
that the Imperial Bank of Germany will
again advance its discount rate Monday.
Here the only definite development of the
day, aside from the renewed strength Of
sterling exchange, was an increase in
the sum of $JWOOO of yesterdays gold
engagements for shipment to Brazil.

Bank of England's Rate.

Mention should be made at this time of
theory which has gained considerable
credence in banking circles as one ac-
counting for the Bank of England's re-
cent surprising and successive elevations
in its discount rate. This is, as was
stated in the Financial Chronicle today
that the trouble with affairs in the Eng
lish capital is that financiers there have
been suffering from an excess of lendable
capital and d scarcity of actual money
1t has made loans to other countries and
incurred obligations in these places in ex-
cess of It's own present or prospective
supplies of gold When these other cu,m-
tries asked to have the gold sent to them
the Bank of England found itself more
or less in difficulty. Among these other
countries of course, cannot be included
our own, as we have taken practically
no money from England in the present
year and have on the other hand been an
exporter of gold during the entire nine
and half months of the year to date.
