FINANCIAL MARKET
Fractional General Gains in
StoCkS-Bank Statement.

The stock market Yesterday was firm
st the opening. and in the early trading
general moderate advance occurred
which was soon followed by recession
the market then relapsing into dulness'
which continued throughout the rest OF
the short session, although the undertone
was at all times strong. The close
showed fractional net gains in most OF
the issues and only a few losses, the
most noticeable of which was the two
point decline in Texas Company stock'
on the less favorable advices from PARIS
concerning the condition OF John W.
Gates. Canadian Pacific rose IL points
and Pacific Mail, the only other issue to
advance more than point, made net
gain of IA. The announcement that the
Attorney General had decided TO appeal
the case of the government against the
Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific
10 the United States Supreme Court had
no depressing effect on the shares OF the
two companies Union Pacific gaining
fractionally and Southern Pacific closing
unchanged from Friday. The feeling OF
the Street is general that the companies
will win the case on appeal, as they
won it in the lower court The news of
the day bearing upon the market for
securities was Of a favorable sort. Cot
ton. wheat and corn all declined in price,
chiefly on weather reports, which gave
further encoura cement TO the belief that
the prospects for large crops were stead
ily improving The apprehension over
the Morocco situation diminished, and
the better feeling was reflected in
firmer tone i'm the markets of London,
Paris and Berlin and also in the pur-
chase of a fair amount Of stocks here by
London houses. The fortnightly bulle-
tin of the American Railway Association
showed a decrease of nearly $1,000 in
the number Of idle freight cars. as COM
pared with the first week of July, the
additional cars brought into service
being needed for the carriage of coal and
of grain.
The preliminary estimate based upon
the known movement of money during
the week had indicated a probable gain
by the banks of about 100000 In cash,
but Yesterdays bank statement showed
an actual loss of cash by the banks,
taken by themselves, amounting to So
$4,000, this showing probably being ac-
counted for by heavy shipments of cur
rency to the interior late IN the week.
Canada also is steadily drawing upon
this centre for cash, another shipment Of
$4,000 gold having been announced
Yesterday. Loans of the banks, not in
Guiding trust companies. increased about
/ SS.5OO000 and deposits about 1900
GEO, and the actual surplus decreased
$500. 2jO, standing at S12,245,0O0 on
Friday night, which compares with S4S,-
92l.5JO a year ago Average loans Of
the trust companies decreased Sc, 100000
and deposits S5.195,000. which tends TO
show a transfer Of loans from the trust
companies to the banks. The actual
statement of the banks and trust COM
panies in the Clearing House showed an
increase Of 81. 66s. 900 in loans and a de-
crease of S2,510000 in deposits, with a
decrease of 1,765, 500 in the surplus re-
serve, while the average surplus in
creased 81 ,492 $50
