STOCK PRICES ARE LOWER
AT END OF THE WEEK.
MONEY CONDITIONS AND
STRIKE ARE FACTORS.
Heavy Selling of United States
Steel Unsettles Market at
the Close.
New Tork, May 17. Prlcea made a flecMed
recea-iton In the flrit hour of to-day's short
session, because of the apprehension over
the efforts to make the anthracite miners'
strike a national strike, but partly recov
ered after the bank statement appeared.
A fall of nearly 2 points in Colorado Fuel
and heavy selling: of United States Steel to
below A0 unsettled the close and made It lr
refrular at declines from the rally. The
selling of United States Steel may have
been duo to fears of special damage to that
industry from a possible interruption to
bituminous coal mining, or It may nave
been connected with the meeting of stock
holders on Monday to ratify the conversion
of preferred stock and the Issue of bonds.
The bank statement showed a decrease in
cash of over a million, where a gain of that
much had been expected, but this was 18
nored In the satisfaction felt over the heavy
reduction in deposit liabilities effected by
loan contraction, by which the surplus re
serves were recuperated to the extent of
neary Ave millions.
Tho week's reduction of $2X903,100 In tho
loan account has only once before been
equaled. In the week ending: May 13, 1901.
the banks reduced their loans K4,-4.SOO.
This was the week following the panic
week in the stock market, when loans had
been made practically without limit to
check the panic and when the buying: to
support the market was followed by quick
liquidation after confidence was restored.
The past week's events make it clear that
no such liquidation has occurred as this
loan contraction would measure. The local
trust companies have been large lenders all
the week. Banking authorities estimate
loans placed by the trust companies at as
high as $30,000,1)00. There has been lending
alno for account of Interior money centers.
This is without taking any account of the
large borrowing abroad, reflected in the for
eign exchange market. It Is reported that
there have been large sales this week by
American holders of Hrltlsh consol sub
scriptions, which have risen in Ixmdon to
a. premium of 2 3-1C. The proceeds of these
sales would represent, of course, actual
replenishment of local money resources, but
the banks' figures must represent for tne
most part, a shifting of accommodations
rather than a loan reduction.
Price Are (imerally Lower.
The stock market has settled back into a.
seasonable condition of dullness during
the week at a generally lower level of
prices. A process of readjustment has been
In progress both In the stock market and
the money market. This has been accom
plished rather by a shifting of accounts
than by any active liquidation, although
there were some sharp declines forced on
Monday Incident to the discrimination by
the money lenders against some of the col
lateral that has found Its way into loans
during the late season of liberal credits. The
weeding out process was the consequence
of the previous developments in the Webp
Meyer stocks and the constriction of the
money supply that had been disclosed by
the bank statement of last Saturday. En
ergetic measures for the recuperation ot
the money market were taken, which were
facilitated by the high rate for money rul
ing here. Supplies of loanable funds were
thus attracted to New Tork from all do
mestic centers, and foreign sources were
drawn on even more heavily. The rate for
sterling exchange relapsed violently -to the
lowest point of the year under the heavy
offerings of bankers' bills In the process
of drawing on foreign credits. The supply
of commercial exchange bills In the market
was very scarce, and the Mils sold were In
effect short sales, and represented In a de
gree a speculation against the future sup
ply of exchange depending on the corn
crop and the resumption of corn exports.
Obllcntlonn Still to Be Met.
In any event the week's replenishment of
loanable resources from foreign markets
represents obligations to be met In the fu
ture. It was the realization of this fact
that checked a renewal of speculative buy
ing of stocks after the measures of re
lief, for the money market became effective
and the Interest rate declined. There were
also some large loans placed here directly
bv branches of foreign bankers. Another
phase of the process was the transfer of
holdings of American securities for domes
tic account to London. Americans cabled
orders to Iondon to buy stocks there, to be
held with money borrowed In London. This
process of transfer accounted for the un
dertone of resistance to depression in the
local stock market. It Is an evidence of
confidence In the value of securities, which
are being forced to a lower level of prices
by the exigencies of the domestic money
market. The week's readjustment has re
stored the balance In both stock and money
markets, but the demands upon the money
supply are felt to preclude the chance of a
favorable speculation for a rise.
StrlUe Incentive to Conservatism.
The anthracite labor trouble Is an ad
ditional Incentive to conservatism. The
Immediate effect of the declaration of the
strike upon the stock market was not acute,
especially considering the assurance which
has constantly been expressed In Wall street
that there would be no strike. The anthra
cite operators profess to feel that they
have much to gain from contesting the de
mands of the miners In the way of recov
ery of previous concessions to their de
mands. This attitude, however, does not
blind the public conception to the possi
bilities of an extension of the trouble Into
the bituminous coal fields and the collateral
effects upon other Industries, especially Iron
and steel, in which continued scarcity of
material in all stages Is reported. In splU
of the record output In the trade. The
crop situation has been very attentively
studied during the week. The outcome of
the year's cereal crops Is regarded as of

on Monday was expected to show an Im
portant decline In tho condition of winter
wheat, but th amount of acreage aban
doned was a disagreeable surprise. It was
argued, however, that the favorable
weather since the date of the report must
have Improved the condition of the winter
wheat, while the damage to the abandoned
acreage had come early enough to permit
of replanting with th all-Important corn
crop.
With that crop barely In the ground and
the spring wheat crop still to be Indicated,
the final outcome Is felt to be too obscure
yet to warrant speculative ventures. The
progressive dullness of the market has been
due in no small part to this cause. The
distribution on Monday of a $10,000,000 div
idend to the subscribers of the United
States Steel Corporation underwriters syn
dicate calls attention to the enormous
profits of underwriting. The total sub
scriptions were for $200,000,000. Of this 12-4
per cent or $25,000,000 was paid In. The paid
In capital has been returned to the sub
scribers and two dividends of 65 per cent
each or $20,000,000 have been paid amounting
to SO per cent of tho cash capital employed.
It is expected that 2 per cent additional
dividend would be paid, which would bring
the total profits on the underwriting to
$40,000,000 or 160 per cent of the cash capital
employed. The result is pointed to as indi
cating the powerful attraction for the un
derwriting of industrial combinations asldo
from the industrial advantages which may
accrue. . , .
The market for bonds has grown dull and
has moved In sympathy with stocks. United
States 3s declined Vi and all other issues
i per cent below the closing call of last
week.

WEAK AND STRONG SPOTS IN
GRAIN FAIRLY BALANCED.
RESULT IS A DULL AND SPIE
ITLESS MARKET.
iWTieat, Corn and Oats Slightljj
Lower and Provisions Hag
gle Idly All Day. jj
Chicago, May 17. Grain traders found lit
tle of interest in the closing session of the)
week on the Board of Trade to-day. The in
fluencing factors were not sufficiently
marked to Induce good speculation, cava
some weakness in corn late in the day that
started a short-lived spurt of activity, Tha
pits closed with July wheat He lower. July
corn s4c lower and July oats ""io
down. Provisions haggled idly all day and
closed a shade lower to a shade higher.
AVfaeat.
There were both weak and strong spots
In wheat during tho morning, but the ad
vantage favored the former. The local
crowd was Inclined to sell. Weather was
ideal for crops, savo In the Northwest.
where continued rains were still retardlnE
the spring seeding. Advices from Manitoban,
crops stated that the seeding had been dona
ana that there were stiU a),wJO.ooo bushels of
wheat on hand. Prices for Manitoba dipped
to 4c under Chicago, whereas a week ago
It was lc higher. Liverpool sent no cables.
London was weaker. A little better export
demand was reported and strengthened, the
pit for a time. Early in the session tho
spread between July and September widened
to 2'ic, but the crowd became uneasy over
the possibilities of an oversold Sept.
market and covered some accounts. Fluc
tuations wero narrow. July opened CS'io,
down to unchanged at 7tJio to 74"i'7"c and
sold at 7H- Corn weakness depressed it
to "IVic but the close was only easy, He
under at "ti&74Tic. Receipts were 23 cars.
3 contract; Minneapolis and Duluth report
ed 89 cars, a total for the three points of
112, against 17 last week and 23a a year
ago. Primary receipts 285,000 bu., compared
to 3C0.O0O a year ago. Seaboard clearances
equaled &72.0J0 bu.
Cora.
Conditions In corn were similar to those)
in wheat weather fair, prosipects of larger
receipts, etc. The early market was fairly
steady, but Kansas City and 9U Louis
turned weak late and gave as the .reason
the much freer offerings from the country.
Acceptance of Chicago bids by the country
were bearish. July sold down from 61iii
61Tic to 61c and on a little support by tne
leading bull house reacted somewhat, but
closed weak. '4'o lower, at 61bc. Re
ceipts 40 cars.
Oats.
Oats were dull and listless. Some burins
by the leading bull in May options
strengthened July new stuff. On the in
fluence of the other groins and fair re
ceipts, prices eased a trifle. The cash de
mand was still fair. July fluctuated only
lie and closed H&'ic lower at SSiic Re
ceipts 139 cars.
