Bank officers were puzzled by the f22.ll.W Rain in loan? during a period of rcr.fiderable stock market liquidation, and cculd not account for the showing1 exctot by the fact that it indicated preparations to finance some sort of a private railroad !eal. In this connection it was pointed out that one Wall-street bank to-day and yes tc-rday had a credit balance at the cliring V.oure af?reßxiting 614.KO.0. Not only were the fluctuations In loans and deposits tho !.-avitst on record, but the aggregate toa! ? th'sr items are also the highest known 1:1 j;iiory 01 ew iorn Dank3. Slg nir.cani as inese r.ures are. nowever. of ine grreat volume or business parsing inrougn tne oanxs, tr.e results as revealed In the standlrg of the Institutions are even more worthy of note. In the face of an advance in net deposits amounting to $36,- 4vi.7. wnich required an additional cash reserve of more than nine million dollars. the banks have been able to add Sl,$5,0 to their excess reserve, the gain in cash hav ing1 been almost fourteen minion. Tho cash expansion reflects rather correctly tue Kctuis me oanKs nave made in their deal ings with the Interior and the subtreasury. and th item would have hecn higher had it not been lor the exports of specie eatlivr in the week. The gains in the leading items were connneu principally to half a do-?t?n large banks. Owing to the fact tnat the cash expansion was not distributed umong the banks in nrooortlon to their Inc: isr in other items, the reserve percentages have undergone wide fluctuations J3 compared with the Usual changes. Tlu statement. despite the record breaking Agares really Indicated continued easy money. If the accumulation oC Idle cash in th. banks is taken as a criterion. The twMl .specie and bgals held by the clearing houe now amount in round numbers to 2.774 millions. it is not surprising that Europe turns to this accumulation as the representative of i store of national wealth upon which drafts may be made to meet emergencies. In passing it may be said that the increase lone In the deposits of the New York banks last week amounts to more than the aggregate deposits of all the banks in quite a number of reserve cities throughout the United States." WALL STREET REVIEW. The New York stock market was ex cited and nervous throughout the short session Saturday, under the varying for tunes of the speculative contest waged be tween the bulls and the bears. The bulls made a determined stand In the early deal ings, boldly supporting the weak spots by liberal buying orders and causing sharp advances in special stocks, which had a sustaining Influence on the general mar ket. The unwieldy short Interest was made uneasy by this show of strength and bought urgently, to cover. When, the bank statement appeared, there were mixed opin ions as to the bearing of the large changes disclosed, but the bears detected selling to realize by the Interests which had been opposing them, and they fell upon the mar ket with determination. Prices broke vio lently under a Hood of selling orders for both accounts, and the market closed active and semi-demoralized with prices for the most part at the lowest. The admittedly serious ill-health of Queen Victoria caused uneasiness as to the possible bad effects on foreign securities markets which might be reflected here. The bears also circu lated reports, afterwards shown to be groundless, that President McKinley had had a relapse with the grip, and profes sional manipulative tactics were manifest In other canards which were put afloat. At the opening of the market there was an urgent demand for some of the steel stocks on the report that the Federal Steel Com pany would absorb a rival organization. Steel and wire was advanced an extreme 2 and Federal Steel Pz- Missouri Pacific, Wabash preferred and debenture bonds and Texas & Pacific also were strong at ad vances of SU for Missouri Pacific; Wabash preferred 2, and Texas Pacific lVs- The vio lent break in Anaconda and Amalgamated Copper had the first unsettling Influence on the market. The weakness was at tributed to London selling on account of the dull conditions. In the copper market. Anaconda broke 3V1 and Amalgamated Cop per 4H- Both stocks rallied in sympathy with the general strength of the market. In the final break In prices declines reached, in Brooklyn Transit, to 5 points; Metropolitan Street Railway, 4; Manhattan, ZV2; St. Paul, 34; Missouri Pacific, 3; Steel and Wire. 24; Federal Steel. Erie first pre ferred and Sugar, 2'2; Northern Pacific, 2; Rock Island; 2's and a large number of active stocks from 1 to 2 points. In face of the stock market liquidation, the enormous increase in the loan account of the banks of $22,S4t,000 was a disagreeable shock to speculative sentiment and served to offset the effect of the cash gain of nearly Sll.OOO.COO. There has been large placing of loans abroad during the week, but special operations must be looked to to explain the loss Item. The payment on account of the Pennsylvania Coal Com pany purchase and large borrowings by cne of the great railroad companies - to carry purchases of stocks of other rail- l roads, made last year, are supposed to ac count ior some part or tne increase. The stock market during the week has shown a state of nervous apprehension among speculators long of stock on a mar gin and a marked falling off In that gener al demand for stocks which 'afforded a sure market for bo prolonged a period of extraordinary activity In trading. The con viction has steadily gained force that the demand which lifted them to that point was purely speculative and was not but tiessed by genuine requirements, which would hold them at the high level attained. From a technical point of view, the mar ket has given evidences of an overextended long account. Stocks have been held, how ever, with considerable determination, and evidently there is an element that is still confident of higher prices. The selling has been largely forced by the declines which the bear element has caused by manipula tion, thereby uncovering stop-loss orders and dislodging long stocks. The bear tac tics have been resisted by powerful specu lative interests, which have, had supporting orders In the market. The bear element itself has been so eager to anticipate the culmination of the rise that It has kept the short account In the market very 'arge. This Is in itself a powerful sustaining fac tor, and represents a practical discounting of threatened liquidation. As a consequence there are large buying orders to take profits for short account at even slight re cessions In prices, which props the mar ket and check9 the declines. The bear leadership has been notably bold and ag gressive up to this time. These influences have served to offset to a degree the un derlying weakness of the market. UNWARRANTED RUMORS. various developments during the week have demonstrated that speculators have misplaced their confidence In many rumors that have been afloat. A sifting process has begun of facts from fancies, which leaves a large residue of unconfirmed, dis credited and even disproved statements, which have been the ground In each case of large buying. Expected dividends or in creases of dividends have not been forth coming; much heralded consolidations have been officially disclaimed, and have, in each case, left a heritage of disappointment and prospective loss. The leading incidents of this class have been the assertions Try President J. J. Hill, of the Great Northern, that he never owned a share of St. Paul stocks in his life; the denial by an official of the Metropolitan Street-railway of the reported lease of Manhattan; tho lack of expected provision by the Federal Steel directors for quarterly dividends on the common stock during the coming year and subsequent rumors of a bond issue and a suspension of dividends In the future; a dividend of only 2 per cent, on New York, Chicago & St. Louis Railway, where all the way from 2V. to 5 per cent, had been confidently predicted, and the failure of the Eric dlre.u rs to take any action on a div idend when many speculators believed that the first preferred stock was to be placed on a 4 per cent. basl3 immediately. jThere were so many unconfirmed predictions to which these cases offered a close analogy that speculative confidence was very, much undermined. The commencement of gold exports had so little effect on the money market that it could hardly be reckoned with ai with an immediate influence on the stock mar ket. The condition of the money market has been one of extreme and inci easing easiness. There Is no apprehension that the withdrawals of gold will result In any scarcity of funds, but the speculative cam paign in stocks has been based on an as sumption of plethoric condition In the money market and the ready accepts nee of all grades of Industrial stocks as collateral by money lenders. The conviction has grown that the outward movement cf gold will reach perhaps as high as $20000.000. This undoubtedly would preclude an actual plethora of money, and the discrimination of banks against undesirable collateral has continued in full force. Without doubt the most potent Influence on speculation has been the disquieting evidence of hostile conditions amoig the great iron and steal combinations. Mr. Carnegie's epigram, "Iron is either a king or a pauper," directs attention to the peri ods of extreme depression to which the Iron Industry has been subject in the past, and causes anxiety for the future of the highly capitalized steel industrials, dividends on which are dependent 'on a higi?ly prosper ous condition of the industry. It is evident also that the division of business among the great steel corporations is a subject of friction and threatens competition and reprisals, which inevitably would demoral ize profits in the industry. The announce ment of a projected tube mill by the Car negie Interests In Conneaut, O., has been supplemented by ominous rumors of fur ther incursions into the fields of the vari ous departments. The tacit admission by the Federal Steel authorities of a contem plated bond issue is accepted as a, note of preparation for a conflict. From the , purely speculative standpoint, it is a mat ter of notoriety in Wall street that there are animosities anions tne steel interests. 1 which are rar.-cd rcr:ctlve!y oa V19 tull and the bear sides of the market. The stock market has felt the sympathetic ef fect of the violent fluctuations in the steel stocks, but the uneasiness over the iron and steel trade outlook, as a barometer of general business conditions has been even more effective on speculative senti ments. Standard Oil sold at $733 and 00 a share on Saturday. Bonds have moved In sympathy with stocks on a lessened volume of business. United States refunding twos declined i. old fours and fives U on the last call, compared with quotations a week ago. Following are Saturday's share sales and the closing bid prices: Closing Stockt.

ID than in the preceding week, and should present , weather con ditions continue for a few days business prob ably will reach its maximum for midwinter. The sturdy tone to prices Is a noticeable feature. Very seldom are prices held on so even a rano as for several weeks past, especially when there Is a tendency to an advance, as is the case with staple groceries some- lines of dry goods. Iron, steel products and leather. Linseed oil and hidt-s are the principal products In which declines in prices have been noted. Eggs are firmer and poultry is In good request at steady prices Butter, on large receipts, is weak in price Fruits ars moving well. as are vegetables, and on good stock very satisfactory prices are re alized. There are rarely offered on this market fner apples and oranges than tho.e new sold on Commission row. Traveling saVsmen. wh-j came in on Irlday and Saturday, vuaoui ex ceptlon. express the opinion that with favoruDle weather conditions iraae wni ream euch a volume as to give no room for complaint. The week closed with prices in nearly all lines steady and firm.

CHICAGO, Jan. 13. Board of Trade mar kets were dull to-day. Wheat was a trifle steadier on the belief that liquidation fs about over, but closed at a net decline of ic on slack outside support. Corn closed a shnde higher and oats unchanged. Provi sions closed 5-312Vic depressed. Under close scrutiny a steadier tone could be detected In the market for wheat Not that the demand has Improved, but tho liquidation of lon stuff during the day had the appearance of tall-end holdings being thrown overboard to clear the decks. May wheat opened Uc to c higher, at 74$f74$c. and touched 74TsC. the trade being Impressed by the firmness of ca bles compared with weakness on this side yesterday. The bulge met slack support, and a decline to 73c ensued. Heavy re ceipts, too, aided in depressing prices, but a moderate amount of buying at the bottom r'ar ine ena ine session useu a to 74U074c, and the close was steady and m M. 9 J MM 11 iz W(ir nt en .i rtenmnres in wheat and flour were equal to 232,000 bu. Primary receipts aggregated 518,000 Bu, com pared with 400,000 bu last year. Minneapo lis and Duluth reported 407 cars, against S31 last week and 374 a year ago. Local receipts were fifty-three cars, two of con tract grade. New York reported twenty loads taken for export. While corn was a narrow market, most ly within local confines and somewhat in clined to harken to the voice of the de clining wheat market, the tone was firm. Country offerings were light, the highest bid sent out last night bringing only 7,000 bu out of country cribs. Long stuff was, as usual, firmly held. Shippers had their usual trouble and disappointment over the car scarcity. May sold between 3S?c and SSHc, and closed a shade higher, at 3Sti Z&'Aq. Receipts were 445 cars, one of con tract grade. Business In the oats market- was very quiet, but when favored with encourage ment from ihe neighboring markets oats inclined to the bull side. Receipts were 24S cars. May sold between 25Uc and 25&c, and closed unchanged at 25Uc. Provisions were quiet. The opening was firm on light hog receipts and firm prices at the yards. Hogs were weaker later. and this had an effect on provisions. A slacker cash demand also helped to wear away th opening strength. May pork soid between $14.20 and $14, and closed lzo lower, at 614.05; May lard between 67.42Va and 67.376, closing 5c down, at 67.40, and May ribs between 67.177.20 and 67.01, with the close 7c depressed, at 67.10.

There was the usual small Saturday run of cattle, and all tha different grades were not represented There was the usual quiet demand that chara? terizes the trade at this time in the week, and lt was more or less difficult to negotiate sales at steady prices, but finally a fair clearance was madb without much quotable change compared with yesterday. The receipts this week are a lit tie smaller than last week and 900 larger than the came week a year ago. The market opened with a little asler tendency in prices, especially for female grades, but . later that class and light butcher steers seid about steady. Heavy steers were badly neglected early In the week, but later there was a better demand for all grades of cat tie and lt was easier to consummate sales, but prices did not advance. At the beginning of the latter half of the week there was another quiet spell In the market, but practically ths close of the week found the market in rather a healthy condition for all tha best export steers and fe male cattle, while light butcher steers sold VjQ l&c lower than earlier in the week. There was not much demand for stockers and feeders until near the close of the week. anJ the trading was rather active at steady prices.
