Bar silver was 64ic; silver certificates, 644 5Uc; Mexican dollars. .M5c Silver bars on the London market sold at 23&d an ounce The exports of gold and silver from the port of New York to all -countries for the week aggre gated $1.140,03 in silver bars and coin and $12,000 In sold. Imports of specie were $15.087 In gold and $23,- i50 In silver. The Imports of dry goods and merchandise were valued at $10,327,5:3. The weekly statement of the associated New Tork banks, issued Saturday, shows the follow leg changes: Loans, decrease $661,900 Deposits, decrease 7,436,00!) Circulation. Increase 243,100 Legal tenders, decrease 2,S22,4oO Specie, decrease 5,752.200 Total reserve, decrease 8,574,700 Reserve required, decrease LS74.Ü00 The banks now hold $5,421,500 In excess of the 25 per cent, rule The Financier says: "The banks of New York, according to their current statement, lost during the week more than 50 per cent, of the surplus re serve reported at close of business Sept. 20. This leaves them with only $6,241.900 above the re quired minimum of 25 per cent, of deposits. The Interesting feature is the heavy loss In cash, which aggregates $3,574.700, the heaviest drain which has been encountered since the last crop season. The significance of the decrease, how ever, is lessened by tho fact that one large banking house, which has been carrying nearly half the excess reserve In New York, Is respon sible for this week's reduction, its outgo of cash holdings having been in the neighborhood of ten millions within the past two weeks. This is of no especial moment, except to show that the majority of the banks In the clearing house have undergone no serious drain on their re sources, although quite a number are now close to the legal reserve point and some of them below it. The present statement would not have looked so serious had It not been for the almost stationary loan column. While there la nothing to warrant the assertion, it appears as though there had been a period of active borrowing during the week, not previously known. At any rate, the general tendency of the banks just row is to contract loans, and the small decrease for the week compares oddly with the decrease of the two weeks previous. The dwindling re serve does not mean necessarily, a stringency In the market. It emphasizes the fact that monev is going to remain firm over election. The rise in rates will lead to renewed talk of rold lmiorts. tut nobody regards the occasion serious enough to call for shipments of speci? to this side, although if a small profit can be shown the current may turn this way again. The ivnst curious pha.-e of the situation, retrospec tively, is what would have happened had it not been fcr the greatly enlarged volume of national tank currency within the year." WALL. STREET REVIEW. Attention centered on the bank statement on the stock Exchange yesterday. Eut the very heavy decline In the cah reserves of the banka sermed to have little effect on speculative sentl rrent. beyond a flutter among the smaller class cf tracers, who effered prices down after tho statement apjered. The larger speculators who have been bulling the market during the wfk. peemed. content to stand by and watch ihe effect of the statement on general speculative sentiment. The steadiness of the market under thv showing by the tanks seems surprising. when it is considered that great stress has Ten laid bv the speculators for the rise on the ofl (Ms ttf the inferior drain of currency, which r expeeted to mitigate the cash loss. Even Krtlny. when th movement to the interior was Vncntt to have been large, the maximum esti mate of the d-cline in cash did not reac.i ?."".(. The large payment of Pacific gold rtrafts Litt wee; was expected to moderate that Fhnwinr- im.) ti vstom nf f-OTTlPUtatiOnS by tiaüv and th; rr-n-a!nlne surplus of the banks is cut in half. The Interior demand fur cash has been larst. r than any previous week of the season, and far In excs of anv single week in the fail srason of !at ver. The extraordinär' cotton n.ovnent Is undoubtedly rcspon?,t,Ie tor lfu' showing. The equanimity of speculators, in fe of the bank statement, must be due to the conviction that the heavy movement of cotton to tl seaboard insures a continuance of th;? exi-.rt movement and the making of commercial exchange. With the strain on the New York tr.muy market to harden Interest rates, it is rsufd that the continued foreign buying of cotn.n is likely to necessitate shipments of gold to this country, probably the coming week. On the other hand. London must meet an Install Rrit on th khaki loan subscription the coming fent. installment of the British exchequer bond I ue. of ach over o.nr-half. or about 17.000.000 inr.n nerican suoscriuer. ..-"-ment thus created on the London money market nd the Nw York sterling exchange market inu raanced aalnst the uppiy 01 cvuu I ,,Th,U week's further advance in the-prices of e xks cannot be attributed to a demand from yfce short Interest in the same degree as that of Vjst we;. There has been soms covering of rbort contracts on $e rise, and the profeesional yf-miors. wno navevthe advance in hand, evi dently hope to dislodge the long standing short imeresi, wnicn has persisted in the stock market on the theory that the business reaction will con tinue and warrant further shrinkage of rrlce. In bull party Is evidently playing also to mi 1 rci an ouisioe ouyinsr movement 01 tne class wnicn notnmg but a rapid advance In prices brings Into the stock market. The effort has not proved entirely successful, but the new buy ing was hardiy sufficient to absorb the profit- iaKing oy professionals, who sought to reduce their commitments at a moderate advance. The favorable Incidents of the week have been mace the most of by the bull leaders, but the loudest protestations are of confidence in the ultimate favorable outcome of conditions over which th-i public at large is still evidently in doubt, espe cially a revival of business to last year's high ieve oi prosperity. BY MANIPULATION. The manipulative character cf the market was evident from the number of assertions put la circulation on the Stock Exchange which failed of verification. A positive announcement that the coal strike had been called off served Its purpose In rushing prices up late in the day. and there were variou3 rumors of absorptions and consolidations of railroad systems, while brokers vigorously bid up the stocks concerned with a palpable disinclination to avail them selves of lower prices to absorb the stocks. But it was nctable that the advance thus secured did not bring out any heavy offerings from other man speculative holders, and price reactions were, not severe even when the unveraclous character of the renbrts was recognized. This undertone of firmness gave confidence to the bull tonowing. The hopeful views expressed bv authorities in the Iron and steel trade had a marked Influence on the much depressed stocks In that group, and affected the general list favorably by sympathy. The adjustment of the long-drawn-out wage -con troversy with tin-plate workers gave relief to fears of labor troubles, and the expressed satis faction of officials of some of the railroads which benefit by carriage of steel rails, with the price fixed by the makers, promised a line of orders In that Industry. The declaration of the regular quarterly dividend of 2 per cent, on Tennessee I ... . v-uu. enueu a very oot a Dear campaign against ine stock based on positive assertions, widely published, that the dividend would be reduced or passed. The subsequent rebound in the stock naa a revivifying influence on all the stocks in the steel group. The placing of some large or ders for freight cars was another element in the strength of the group. From the technical side the completion of some recent orders for liquidation of various stocks was a relief to the market, and facilitated the advance. The point probably most relied on by the bulls was the promise of early imports of gold, carried in the marked downward course of exchange under the continued flood of bills against heavy exports of cotton, and the appar ent acquiescence of European money markets in the threatened movement of gold by refraining from advancing their discount rates. The reten tion of the Bank of England official rate at 4 per cent., with the market rate fully up to that, went to confirm this conviction. This action, in face of the drastic inroads on banking re sources, to meet the October quarterly settle ments, revealed by the weekly statements of the Bank of England and the Imperial Bank of Germany, created the Impression that the Octo ber settlements having been safely met. the for eign money markets did not feel constrained to conserve their resources so strictly. Exchange bankers In New York did not indorse this view, and argued that the need for remittance on sub scriptions to foreign loans, to which the Swedish loan subscriptions have been added during the rK, wouiu airesi tne aownwara course or ex change this side of the gold-import point. The moderated reduction of the banks' surplus by reason of loan contraction, revealed by lat week s Dank statement and the hope of a fa vorable showing this week by reason of the sundry offsets to the Interior movement of cur rency have been a continuing influence. But a policy of conserving reserves by loan contraction is not one that is supposed to add to the comfort of speculative holders of securities, and mean time the call loan rate has advanced to 3 per cent., and money rates continue to harden. There has been only a slight Increase in bond business, and prices have moved Irregularly. United States new fours declined per cent, on call since last Saturday.

Wholesale merchants were somewhat disap pointed with the volume of business in the week closed Oct. C. Low rates, on account of the Bryan meeting, prevailed three days of the week, and, aside ' from unusually warm weather for October, there were' reasons for expecting a brisk trade. Commission row shared with the wholesale streets in the disappointment, as it vas one of the poorest weeks in the last three months. During the week the principal break in prices was in sugar. Linseed oils also dropped another cent. In dry goods several ad vances were established, and the provision mar ket is stronger at the slight advance made dur ing the week. The produce market ruled steady. Fresh eggs and good butter are in active re quest The leather and hide markets are still dull and prices easy in tone. The iron and steel markets are more active, with prices un changed. Druggists are having a good business and prices on most articles are very nrm. The local grain market was fairly active all the week, fluctuations in prices on the track not varying more than one cent, the decline of one clay followed by an advance the next day.

UNION STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 6. Cattle Receipts, SM; .shipments small. The receipts of cattle were larger than usual at this time in the week, but consisted principally of grass-fed Texas steers of Just medium quality. They were a little hard to sell, but finally were taken by local killers at about former prices. Other sales Included 1.120-lb native steers at $4. SO. The receipts this week were 1,700 smaller than last week, SOO smaller than the same week a year ago. and the receipts so far this year ara 1.000 larger than the same period last year. Notwithstanding the decrease in the marketing the supplies have been as good as expected and salesmen have bad a better opportunity to dis pose of the stale cattle. They took advantage of. the situation, and at the close of the week very few cattle remained In the pens unsold. During the week export steers suffered a further decline of 10c in price, but the best Vows and heifers did not show any quotable change, and Trices of other grades continue at the low level that they have sold at for several days. There were no strictly choice .export steers represented during the week, but quite a number sold as high as $5.30. heifers as high as $1.75, and cows as high as $4.40.

The hog market opened with the better grades selling slowly at about yesterday's prices, but there was no strong competition between buyers, and, in keeping with other rlaces, the feeling was weaker. Finally, with local packers the princi pal buyers, the market was reasonably active at a decline of 2c In prices compared with yes terday's average, and a good clearance was made on that basis. Receipts this week are 4,000 larger than last week,' 2,000 larger than the same Vteek a year ago. and the receipts so far thta year are over "211,000 smaller than the same period last year. From the beginning of the week there has been a lower movement In value and, while the change at no time was of great importance, the aggregate at the close of the week shows that the decline was 10015c, com pared with the close of last week. On account of the high prices prevailing here shipping or ders have been limited and local packers have purchased about 80 per cent, of all the bogs received.

There has been very little fluctuation In prices this week. but toward the close of the week, with better competition, choice stock sold at more satlsfac tory prices.

Mary Anderson Xavnrro'a Appear ance at a Charity Concert. Correspondence London Mall. Away she trips to the stage while I sit beside Mr. De Navarro and venture to re proach him with having robbed us. "She has never expressed the slightest wish to return to the stage," he whispers to me quietly as the rehearsal begins. Mr. Francis Korbay, the gray-haired gentle man, strikes the first notes of the accom paniment to a Hungarian song of his own composition. "I would like to be arrayed In silver and gold. Beautiful and radiant for him to behold!" Yes, It Is Rosalind singing. And yet, somehow, not tne Rosalind we knew. There Is all the old arch witchery of the forest rhymester, the merry sparkle, the dainty, rougish glance, the bewitching smile that held thousands under Its spell In the old, old days. But surely that glori ous volume of song did not belong to the Rosalind we knew. Some sweet singing fairy must have endowed our Mary with a wedding gift of song. But whence comes that warmth of feeling, vibrant and mel low as the song of the thrush? Visions öf Galatea, cold as marble, fade Into absurd ity as that full rich voice tills the empty hall. The cries of children playing outdoors be come hushed. Workmen busy fixing up the stage draperies stand agape in amazed be wilderment. Miss Fanny Davies, the great pianist, sitting on a chair behind us, leans forward to whisper, "Wonderful!" "But If he would love me better in linen gown. Cheek and brow and milk-white arms all tanned and brown, 1 would seek the sun's fiercer rays All the long midsummer days; And through all the sunny weather, Sweet the game we'd play together; Who Loves Best?" There Is no need to question further whence came the spark which has en kindled our Rosalind. Ingenuous as a sun beam, the nut-brown songstress Is singing straight to the courtly gentleman sitting beside me. He smiles a knightly recogni tion of his beautiful wife's homage and presently hurries forward to assist her from the platform. Seats for the concert have been selling for ten shillings, seven and sixpence, five shillings, two shillings and one shilling. These are unheard of prices for Evesham. And all for a charity, too, something con nected with the monastery over at Broad way village, where the name Navarro is one to conjure with; and Court Farm, where the Navarros live, is a magnet for rusticating artists and other people of the London world. Of the performance itself, I hardly dare speak, criticism not being my forte. The piece de resistance, as th$ critics would say, was beyond question Mme. De Navarro herself. Gowned in black lace she came upon the platform smiling recogni tion here and there to friends in the aud ience. And the way the back benches cheered- brought back recollections of triumphs where thousands had cheered themselves hoarse in like manner. A lit tle playful controversy with Mr. Korbay as to where she should stand, and then Rosalind's glance falls on Orlando in the fifth row of chairs and she begins to sing. As a matter of fact, it was a revelation to everybody. Whoever suspected that the newspapers had been so egregiously mis taken in calling Mary Anderson merely a green actress? With that voice ringing in our ears it was useless denying that It was Mary Anderson the prima donna who had been living these ten years In Broadway village close by. Only a prima donna could sing like that, and not many prima donne even could sing with that freshness of voice so suggestive of singing in a village choir. Yet it could hardly be a prima donna who responded so freely time and again with encore after encore. And surely never a prima donna would stand there before us all laughing mischievously while her pianist and "trainer" wished her to sing one song while she insisted on singing another. Just how many songs she sang I cannot tell. The programme said five. With encores to each tnat would mean ten, but I am sure there were more. Any how, it was one long sunny afternoon of song, brought all too soon to a close by the Inexorable train time. After the performance was over every body wanted to crush into the waiting room behind the platform to say "Thank you." "That last number was Just too much for me," she said, the suspicion of a tear In her laughing eyes. "It was the music from 'A Winter's Tale.' When I made my first appearance, in London years ago they were playing it as I went on the stage. And stranger still the musicians who played then were the same. And this is positively my last appearance in public." Half an hour later we are all sitting at a luncheon at the Crown Hotel. And such a laughing, merry party, too. Mme. De Navarro is the life and soul of the table. Now she Is telling us that Chicago Is called Sheecawgo; that she has only had six sing ing lessons in her life; that her "trainer," as she playfully calls Mr. Korbay at her elbow, will not even allow her a glass of wine at luncheon till she has made her debut; that her little son is Just four years old, and is the dearest little fellow on earth; that I really must drive over to Broadway to see him before returning to London: that the little thing she ever re fused her husband was a promise to prac tice singing half an hour every day and so forth and so on. The Summer Stock. New York Evening SunJ If the question, "What dress detail has been most characteristic of the summer?" might be put to women collectively, a grand chorus, without a dissenting voice, must go up of "the transparent stock." Not only Is this detail so general and so becoming, but It is most comfortable. What with it, and the many frocks boasting no stock at all, the summer has been an un usual one for comfort. Women accustomed to swathe their throats in sweltering silk and velvet have reveled in the next-to-nothingnes3 of the transparent stock, or 'gone with throats bare altogether. It was Indeed lucky that the sunspots that the scientists say were the cause of the ex cessive heat, this reason and the no-collar fashion should have coincided. There are signs that fall frocks, even of cloth, will pay much less attention to covering the throat than formerly. We may not look for ward to decollette tailor-made suits, per haps (or, at least, not Just yet), but with out doubt the long-established mode of wrapping the throat as with a compress ia to be superseded by some more healthy, more comfortable, .and. from the artistic viewpoint, more beautiful style of dressing the neck. No true artist will consent to paint a portrait, nor even to take a photo graph, of a subject whose neck Is confined In the one-time hlsh, ttsht stock, which, until very recently, t2j . bera inia-pecribla- LIPTON'S PORK CORNER IT SUNDS TIIC OCTODEH OPTION TO SEVENTEEN' DOLLARS, Other Futures Decline A Cluiet Day in ihe Cereal Pits, with the Changes Small and Mixed. CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-Wheat to-day closed a shade lower, corn a shade higher, oats Un changed and provisions 5-512Vc lower. October pork advanced $2.50. Wheat was helped by an advance at Liver pool. With Liverpool ?ilHd higher, despite the fact that this market the previous session had furnished no motive for such a bulge, No vember wheat opened HQ 4c higher at 7SC7S4C The Liverpool gain was said to be based on a report of a frost In Argentina. In the North west there were light but general rains.' Th first hour the market was moderately active, but later was dull and neglected. Traders evened up for the Sunday cessation of business. Lack of outside bull support resulted In a decline of November to 77HQ77c. The market steadied because of. a fair cash business 200.000 bu and November closed a shade down at 77mj77Tc. Seaboard clearances In wheat and flour were equal to 2C3.000 bu. Primary receipts were 797,000 bu, compared with $58.000 last year. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 573 cars, against 40 last week and 730 a year ago. Local receipts were 207 cars, 4 of contract grade. In the corn market there was a fair general trade early, but later the market fell into neg lect. The market opened higher in sympathy with wheat and on moderate country offerings. The local crowd sold to even up over Sunday, but as there was fair outside support the closd was steady. November sold between 37H1?37Hc and closed a shade up at 37i274c Receipts were 274 cars. Oats had their usual contracted experience. Local receipts were 374 cars. Receipts 367.000 bu at all points. November sold between 22ic and 22U22;!ic and closed unchanged at 22422Hc October pork, the local supply of which has been cornered, again furnished the incident in provisions, although the trade was quiet enough October opened at $14.25 and sold at $17. at which it closed. $2.50 over yesterday. In later futures selling by packers caused some reduction In prices January pork sold between $11.95 and $11.8i) and closed 124c down at $12.S7,; January lard between $7 and $5.924. closing 5c lower at $6.95, and January ribs between $0.374 and $6.3 6.324. with the close 5c down at $6.324- Estimated receipts Monday: Wheat, 205 cars; corn, 560 cars; oats, 2S5 cars; hogs. 42,000 head.
