FOREIGN BANKS.

LONDON. January 30.-Trading on the
stock exchange showed fair strength
early in the week with the promise Of ex
banding business when the Bank Of Eng
land, for the first time in months. secured
the gold arrivals. thus raising the hope
that monetary conditions would become
easier. But continental politics again
proved disturbing factor and as the
funds locked up in Paris for the Russian
loan were still not released and the float
ing supplies OF cash here were short. deal
ers lost heart and the initial improve
ments disappeared. Consols touched the
low figure of 81. but they recovered three
eighths on the better political news at the
end of the week, the prospects Of cheaper
money and the fact that the Bank Of
England will get next weeks gold ar
rivals. These conditions also impaired
cheerfulness TO the rest of the market and
caused a recovery from the worst. New
loans continued to receive good attention
and the Canadian government loan Of
10000, 600 shared in the betterment,
rising from discount of Ia to a
premium OF Is.
American securities were dull and I'M
interesting the greater part of the week.
The irregular movements centered chiefly
in the low priced issues which New York
bought while selling other stocks Ber-
lin operated moderately in the low priced
issues, but the daily turnover was small
and the final rates. although firm, showed
net losses of from l to 3 points Chesa-
peake and Ohio and Denver and Rio
Grande. are exceptions, being, respective
ly. 11s and points dearer.
The supplies of money were depleted
by the revenue collections and the month
end requirements, while the revival OF
the gold demand in Paris hardened dis
count rates. But with the sharp re-
covery IN Paris checks and the decline
in the price of gold to ordinary level,
it is anticipated that the Bank of England
will be enabled to get the forthcoming
gold arrivals. as well as make the 8
per cent effective. without higher rate.

NEW YORK. January 30-The decline
in stocks which was the feature of the
security market yesterday and the day
before was resumed today, but on
somewhat larger scale. The market was
heavy and weak from the opening, and
although the usual rally occurred at the
end of business owing to the buying back
of stocks sold by spectators for the fall
prices exhibited net declines generally
running to nearly a full point.
. There did not seem 10 be any decided
support 10 the market except in few
instances, although. on the other hand
pressure to sell was not violent. Rock
Island preferred stocks formed perhaps
the most prominent exception of the kind
noted, the reason for this being the fact
not commonly well understood. that the
floating supply of the stock in Wall
street has become very small
There was Il better tone to the London
market and the discount on the new Rus
sian loan there fell from three-quarters
OF 1 per cent to one-quarter OF 1 per
cent. Presumably the more encour-
aged feeling in London was due

Tariff Revision.

Among the majority of business men the
present tariff discussion is generally
blamed for the moderate slackenng in
trade that has been noticed. Relieved by
the result of the presidential contest and
encouraged by the rapid recovery made in
the field of finance proper from the 1907
panic. Industrial production was resumed
in many quarters on a fairly large scale
in the closing months of last year.
But the fact that revision of the tariff
IS at hand, which, seems to be gen
orally understood. will be a downward
revision. has resulted apparently in an
unwillingneSS of wholesale dealers in
goods and commodities to place their
orders for new supplies, except on q hand
to-mouth basis. the impression being
strong that there is at least a possibility
that they may get these orders filled at
lower prices as the result of the expected
revision in tariff duties.
MeanT hlle of course. stocks of mer-
chandise and raw material are piliug
mp AT any rate in a limited number Of
directions. with the natural consequences
thar a tendency is noted toward prjce
cutting. Uncertainties regarding the eff
Ject upon prices OF the execution OF the
taFir revision program have ALWAYS nm
settled business to a greater or less ex-
tent III the past. and that il is obvious
1aat the present occasion is to be no ey-
ceplon TO the general rule even if busf-
ness - likely to be less disturbed This
time than II ever has been before

Plethora of Idle Money!

The weekly bank statement was re-
ceived with the same minimum of atten
ton In the financial district that has long
been given to it, owing to the immense
plethora of idle money In that portion
OF the statement showing the actual state
OF the clearing house banks at the close
OF business Friday afternoon there was
some revelation of the effect of the with
0raWal or money from the banks by the
trust companies as neceSsitated by the
new reserve law relating to the trust
company organizations which goes into
erect Monday. The banks then exhibited
1hereln a decrease of $12 100000 in cash.
aithough IN the average figures for the
week the loss lin bank cash was only
$i,+OO.UW. Under both forms OF the state
nent there was large increase in bank
loans and small decrease in the surplus
reserves.
In the last half Of the present week
the security market has been plainly un-
der the influence OF a selling movement
originating very largely, no doubt among
professional speculative interests. but also
comprising certain amount of real liuui-
dalton. Some legitimate cause for this
has unquestionably been afforded by eyi-
dences that have been accommodating for
