Wrong View Of Series.

1t is evident from the foregoing that
the unknown authority quoted by Mr.
Terrell takes the spring series here far
more seriously than the players OF the
two home clubs or the fans Of this city
do. There was time when the rivalry
between the clubs and the fans was in
tense, but this has died out almost en-
tirely. Year after year less Importance
has been given to the annual clashes be-
tween the Athletics and the Phillies. and
every one looks upon the games merely
as preliminary preparation for the cham
pionship season.
Victory for one team means nothing;
defeat for the other leaves no sting. In
fact. the players Of both teams look upon
winning the series as a regular hoodoO.
The fans Of this city have come to
realize that the games that count are
those played during the regular cham
pionship season The Athletics might be
shut out in every game with the Phillies
and their defeats would be forgotten if
they made a good start in the American
League race. On the other hand, the
fans would not turn out to see the
Phillies unless they made good in the
how severely they defeated the worlds
champions.
In passing the new rule regarding ex-
hibition games by worlds champions the
national commission evidently looked
upon the spring games here between the
home clubs as merely part Of the train
ing needed by the White Elephants. and
it acted wisely In not interfering with
the series
At the same time, ii would not be a bad
idea for the owners Of the home clubs to
stimulate interest in the local series by
offering trophies to the winners.

ing a period Of more settled atmospheric
conditions ahead. Relief, it was felt,
was therefore at hand to put a stop to
the current complaints of late seeding of
the winter crop. and avert danger of the
acreage being seriously curtailed.
In addition. receipts northwest were
larger than year ago, and there were
arrivals here which for the week ex-
ceeded shipments by nearly quarter OF
a million bushels. The outlook for a

but a bullish frame of mind, and led to
not a little weekend selling, some nota-
bly, that came from foreign holders. AL

close, December ranged from 97h to 9Sk
and in the end was asah down at OTIS.

Taking the statement of actual conditions
as shown Saturday, however, the loss in
cash was $7,329O00.' The excess reserve
above the 20 per cent minimum figured
on the average system decreased S.
1896 making the present surplus
SIS 242 $50 whereas the decrease in re-
serve based on the actual condition re-
port was 1896, $50, leaving the excess at
S1431S 300 The shrinkage in reserve was
brought about by the direct loss Of
heavier than shown by the known pre-
minary movements, and caused by the
demand for funds from the interior. gold
exports and other operations with the
subtreasury. The loan item, according to
the actual statement report, increased
81. 1855, COO 1t is worth noting, however,
that the separate report of trust COM
panies showed a decrease in loans and
investments of sd ,623, 100. indicating that
the trust companies have been shifting
loans to the banks. Consider ng that the
season for crop requirements is in full
swing and that further gold exports are
not out of the question, 1t will not be
surprising to witness g. moderate harden
ing tendency in the money market.

RECOVERY TOWARD CLOSE
BREAK IN ALLIS-CHALMERS

NEW YORK, October Trading in
stocks was again in light volume during
todays session, and movements were
narrow. The market showed further
heaviness during most Of the short ses-
sion. but toward the close recoveries were
general and most Of the active stocks
made small gains. Trading was restricted
almost entirely to professional operations.
There was further heavy pressure
against United States Steel. but bear eff
forts met obstinate resistance. The stock
at its low price showed a loss of less
than a point, and ended the day with a
fractional gain. The list manifested a
tendency to divide itself. with the greater
strength in the standard railers. Some
minor stocks, particularly those whose
movements derive their impetus from
pool manipulation, exhibited a degree of
activity.
Allis-Chalmers Weak.
The conspicuously weak spot in the list
was Allis-Chalmers The 3 per cent bonds
broke more than points, the preferred
stock 3 points, and the common 2as.
These issues sold at the lowest prices on
record since the company was formed
in 1901, with no authenticated informa-
ton to account for the decline
American stocks were fractionally low
er in London. where a more hopeful feel
ing prevailed as a result of relaxation
from the recent strain. British trade re-
ports for September show an increase of
almost S11,OOO.OOO in imports, with
slight decrease in exports.
Bank Loss in Cash.
The expected loss in cash by the banks
was revealed in the bank statement. In
addition to the decrease occasioned by
expectation of So. 100000 gold, the banks
lost on operations with the interior. The
cash decrease as shown in the average
table was considerably in excess Of esti-
mates, amounting to $40. 769. 900. Surplus
reserve fell off by SS.713.OOO.
The weakness of Allis-Chalmers bonds
did not affect the general bond market.
Quotations were steady.
Total sales, par value, 81 .O69 600.
United States bonds unchanged on call

NEW YORK, October I. 1911.
Wall street sentiment is intensely bear
ish. The professional element can only
see one side to 1t. This element reflects
the feeling In high financial circles and
believes itself to be in touch also with
conditions and sentiment throughout the
country. 1t is very doubtful If this phase
OF Wall street opinion as to the wide
sweeping scope Of its knowledge Is cor
rect. At the same time the financial dis
trict of New York ought to be well in
formed as to what is going on outside
and what the business world Is thinking
about. 1t is the head center of prac-
tically every large interest, industrial,
railroad and financial, in the country. Its
sources Of information ought to be the
best.
There is one point. however. upon which
Wall street is always intensely biased
and badly advised, and that is national
politics. On that point it is VIGOROUSLY
lame Wall street thinks and really be-
lieves that it is the beginning, middle
and end of all political wisdom, and is
badly put out when the rest Of the coun-
try disagrees with 1t as to what should
be done by the lawmakers Of the land
and the courts. Just now 1t Is in rage
because majority sentiment is opposed
to it's views as to what the government
ought to do Witn regard to the enforce
ment of the Sherman antitrust law.
Therein is to be found the excuse for
much Of the pessimism which now pre-
walls hereabouts and which Is the con-
trolling factor in the stock market
Everybody is bearish because of the re-
fnsal of the administration. the courts
and Congress to agree with the financial
nabobs as to what ought to be done to
let the trusts out of the hole into which
they plunged in going ahead and calmly
organizing combinations without regard
to what the laws might be, and in SUI
preme and apparently arrogant indiffer-
ence as to what the rest Of the world
might think.

Market Needs Support.

Prices slip back whenever market sup
port gets lax or is withdrawn. Con-
tinuous buying by the great banking
combination which has taken upon itself
the job of holding up the market is
necessary. This support seems to come
altogether from the Morgan party. and
even there considerable division of senti-
ment is to be found. The Morgan party
is at the present moment the main arch
in the bull structure. This attitude has
been especially pronounced ever since
the Morgan-Gary pronunciamento that
the steel trust would fight the Depart
ment Of Justice. should 1t attempt to
compel the dissolution Of the giant in
the Morgan party bought enormous guam
decline. but forced a five to ten point re-
covery.
1t has been found exceedingly difficult
and there is reason to belive that immense
speculative lines taken on ten days or
two weeks ago could not be liquidated
to advantage. and still remain on the
hands of those who so boldly stepped
into the breach. The whole of Wall
street seems to be arrayed against the
Morgan faction at the present time. I'm
questiOnably heavy and continuous liqui-
dation has been and Is still in progress.
