new YORK BANKS.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE statement
Of clearing house banks for the week
shows that the banks hold SIT, 1o4,9ot

The Financier will say:
The effect OF a dull and liQuidating
stock market was revealed in the de-
crease of $14.467.0OO in loans reported
by the New York clearing house banks
Saturday. The cash held by the banks
rose s6.773.7o0. owing to heavier re-
ceipts from, the interior. and as deposits
decreased $9,695.SOO, the cash reserve
increased $9.1S7.65O. making the surplus
above the required 20 per cent minimum
s21,S27,275. The statement, taken as a
whole, was unexpe tedly favorable. The
summary Of state banks and trust COM
panies In Greater New York not re-
porting to the New York clearing house
showed a decrease of $6,O47,S00 in loans.

Weather Has Been Favorable,

Since that time. as is universally adj
mitted, the crop weather has been bet
ter in all sections, and particularly in
the winter wheat district, and as spring
wheat has all along been in splendid
shape the promise is now looming up
of a general wheat yield this year as
large, If not larger, than it was in
1903. when the total crop was the sec
ond largest in the country's history.
While II is too early yet TO form any
idea of the corn crop. it is yet conceded
that the corn acreage will be the great
est ever known, and as the weather for
the planting of corn has thus far been
excellent The outlook in this direction
Is as favorable for Il large crop any
one could wish.
The importance of the stronger I'M
dertOne of the copper market that has
been manifested is its proof of the fact
that there are certain low points in the
range Of prices in any commodity which
will inevitably lead to enlarged buying
thereof. and also to restricted produc-
ton. 1t will not be surprising if a
similar development soon takes place in
the case of pig iron, another article in
which overproduction has recently been

of the stock exchange Monday, and con-
fident all-round buying more than recov-
cred the losses, consols leading the Brit

the political difference, as well as the
general election. would be postponed, as
sisted the more confident feeling. The
Canadian issues provided the features
during the week. With splendid earnings
for both Canadian Pacific and Grand
Trunks. together with good prospects.
these issues attracted large support
throughout, especially at the week end.
Good yielding foreign bonds were alb
sorbed by continental and local houses
but speculative issues, such as oils, rub
bers and kafiirs, were only moderately
active in view Of the holidays; even
these shares moved up sluggishly toward
the end of the week.
American stocks were benefited by the
cheaper monetary conditions. and with
meter crop reports prices moved gradu-
ally higher. but the pronounced advance
was checked by the large number Of
bond issues being made in Europe. The
final quotations. however, were one to
three points net higher on the week,
with the exception Of Canadian Pacific,
which showed a gain Of seven points.

Bank Statement Surprised.

While it is generally thought today In
Wall street that the bank statement would
be favorable. no such favorable return
as the foregoing was expected and money
matters did not at all influence the
course of prices in the security market.
The market was, however, steadily and
quietly strong, though giving rise to a
natural suspicion on the part of the
large party of spectators for the fall
what is known a creeping bull mar
ket'' was underway. At any rate there
was certain amount of recovering OF
stocks by these operators today. due to
their recognition of the fact that reps ated
attacks upon the market had failed TO
induce liquidation.
Distinct strength was shown by certain
particular stocks for especial reasons,
such as i'm American Cotton Oil, common,
which sells ex-dividend on Monday: in
Eirginia-Carolina Chemical, where talk
Of enlarged profits in the fertilizer bust
ness has led to anticipations of increase
dividends, and in United States Ruboer
common. The Amalgamated Copper
shares were bought because of confirma-
ton of reports that large number of the
Butte properties of Senator w. A. Clark
had been sold to the Amalgamated in

In general it must be said that senti-

that this certainly cannot be afforded for

Wall Street Not Alarmed.

The railroad rate bill in Washing ton
has attracted very little attention in the
financial district. perhaps because its dis
cussion involves such complicated mat
tiers that il Is not easy to clearly under
stand. But judging from the apathy
with which Wall street has thus far
viewed the subject, it seems safe to con-
clude that in whatever shape the bill
passes it will not be considered a stock
market factor.
This feeling is also undoubtedly based
in considerable part upon the idea tina,
although there may be stricken from the
bill certain sections which were origi-
nally proposed by the administration and
were more or less favorable to railroad
interests. yet that conservative sentimen,
at the seat of government is still such
as to prevent enactment of any really
radical or harmful measure.

NEW YORK, May 14-With the publ

sion of the money situation as stock

considerable time to come. An increase
of over S6OOO.oGV in the average surplus

AS much the same sort of exhibit was
made in the statement of other banks
1t is obvious that great and general re-
taxation in money has taken place, and
while part of this has been caused by IA
reduction in loans it has been chiefly due
to a continued movement of money here
from the west, a process of which evil
dence has been currently afforded for a
long time past in the high premium
commanded by exchange on this city In
the interior financial centers.

fact that Liverpool is closed for quadruple

Around the middle of the morning
many Texas buying orders based on the
cold weather came in, and they helped
to put prices two to eight points over
yesterdays closing. Toward noon longs
began realizing and the market wore
holiday appearance. Announcement was
made that the local market would be
closed May 20. the day of King Edwards
funeral, and this, coupled with the fact
that Liverpool will be open only two
days next week, caused buyers to hest
tate, and prices fell off again. The mar
ket closed steady at net decline Of to

1t has been an active bull week in the
cotton market. with prices rising most Of
the time. Toward the week end liquida-
ton from the long side was much in
evidence and prices gave way under it to
some extent. The week closed with a
wide net advance in spite Of the selling
May standing on the close 81 points over
last week. while July stood a points up,
August sc up, October Il up and Deem
Der 20 up.
August was the strongest month
throughout the week and made good
Roadway toward closing the difference be-
tween August and July. The strengthen
ing of August was due to bad accounts
from the new crop more than anything
else. The crop in the early sections is
getting a bad start owing to the cold
weather and lack of rain. The advance
was at its height Friday. when Au-
gust was 11S points over last weeks clos
ing and July was 80 points up. The re-
action Of the latter part of the week was
intensified by the fact that Liverpool
closed Friday night for four days. Week
end figures meanwhile. more bearish than
bullish. also stimulated the selling. Rains
fell in the western belt on the week end.
but their effect was lost In the, cool
weather prevailing.
Cotton futures closed steady. Closing

The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1910-10-02

New York. Oct. i.-While the prevailing
dizziness OF the stock market and the
usual restrictions OF business incident 10
a Saturday half holiday were emphasized
to-day by the large attendance OF people
in the financial district az the automo-
bile races on Long Island, yet the strik
ing feature of dealings in stocks was
again the presence OF a creeping upward
tendency.
Just before the end of the day this be-
came so pronounced that larger blocks
OF stocks began to change hands at adj
vancing prices than have been noticed
for many weeks past, and the days
close was practically at the highest and
at relatively large advances.
Early in the day the Amalgamated Cop
per shares were rather particularly
strong, for which explanation offered was
the understanding that copper cOnsump-
ton had lately been increasing very rap
idly. and that the monthly report OF the
Copper Producers Association, expected
soon. would show a large decrease IN
stocks. Signs Of aocumulative buying OF
the United States Steel stocks made its
appearance, based upon the idea that
hopefulness regarding a turn for the bet
ter in the iron and steel trade has be-
come increased. Among the special stocks
Westinghouse. Western Maryland. and
American Telegraph and Gable attracted
attention by their advai,ce.
The bank statement was more unfavor-
able than had been looked for. owing 10
the fact that the loss In cash sustained
by the banks was good deal larger than
the preliminary estimates had made out
In the average form OF the statement the
cash loss was but little over $lO5OO.00O, but
the actual figures giving the condition OF
the banks at the close OF business on Fri
day night made out loss in cash of
SIS, 2Ss. coo.
The present average bank surplus is
$l0279,O 600. which is higher than any shown
at this date since 1904, with the single ex-
ceptfon OF 1908.
