KEW YORK. Sept 28. The weekly state
mast of averages of the associated' banks
prmjtieaHy fulfilled popular expectations,
anl aooording to the superficial view almost
gdnorarty taken by the speculative com
munity was regarded by it as a satisfac
tory' showing. It appears, however, that
the banks have lost over $2,500,000 in law
ful money. They are able to show an
increase of more than that amount in their
surplus reserve only by charging over
twenty and throe-fourths millions of their
deposit liability chiefly by requiring their
resources in the form of loans. As a mat
ter of bookkeeping, the banks are in a
Btrongor position than they were a week
ago,, but they have gained no money to
serve as a basis for extending credits to
their customers, or making new Joans to
the speculative community. On the contrary,-they
have been able to make a better
shewing than last week because compara
tively high rates for money have compelled
"VVaH,Str0et to curtail Its liabilities to mon
ey lenders. The net result of the week's
opwatloBe through the clearing bouse is a
surplus reserve of nearly $3,000,000, against
?HS,000 last Saturday.
It must be evident to all that the mon
etary conditions at this centre are likely
to bold speculation in check. With an

Today's stock market was comparatively
quiet and in the main irregular. Pending
the publication of the bank statement,
there was evening up of contracts for both
accounts. As a rule, the best prices were
made at the opening, and in the final deal

Transit that left that stock three points
lowor than yesterday carried the list to
a slightly lower level. The most con
spicuous exception to the rule was Metro

market this week has been the usual one
after a sharp break in prices, hence it is
not surprising that prices at the close
are In the main higher than last Saturday.

The stock market has passed through a
very trying week. The money tightness,
owing to shipments to the West to mo.e
crops and payments to the Government,
and the consequent heavy calling in of
loans by the banks, culminated in immense
liquidation of stock holdings. This realiz
ing, with the bear attack that accompanied
it, forced prices off to the lowest level of
the year in many instances, and to a much
lower level all over the list. Stocks like
Brooklyn Rapid Transit that had beea
pushed ahead too rapidly by over-confidence
in the future, or rather by discount
ing the future too heavily, were made the
especial marks of the bears, and tumbled
many points, carrying the general down
ward movement much further than there
was any legitimate reason for. This is a
simple statement of the situation, out it
contains the entire story.
The outlook is certainly excellent Rall
ways axe earning quite as much as they
were a month ago. and their securities are
intrinsically quite as valuable. The steel
and iron business Is as prosperous as it
was In June or 'July, and the companies
ure making as tremendous profits. Ex
ports are growing. Big crops are assure 1.
The money tightness will not last always.
Every autumn there is a greater demand
for money and higher rates In consequence.
The superb business prosperity of the
country this year has accentuate! this fac
tor a trifle, but it has created no new situa
tion. Prosperity Is not a misfortune, no
matter how much it may be distorted into
the semblance of one by the stock market
bears. The people that have been force l
to sell stocks have been unfortunate, but
those who threw over securities believing
that the bottom is dropping out of value
bave been foolish. The people who have
bought stocks at the low prices are the
"wealthy people who are neither unfortu
nates nor foolish, and they will ho.d them
andell at a much higher level as autumn
nnd wlotor advance.
and wiator. advance.
Yesterday's market was a traders af
.falr, wltb a high opening and a gradual
decline in prices to the close,
which was at very' near the low
est lovol of the day. Following
the Une boom of the latter part of the
week some disappointment was caused by
weakness shown, but the entire affair was
so apparently a professional matter that
little attention was paid to It by conserva
tive brokers and traders. Brooklyn was the
point of attack, and the tumble in this
etock ivas followed by lesser declines in
other parts of the list. Tho week has been
a Brooklyn week, as the previous week waa
also.
Brooklyn's actions cause much comment,
but apparently very little Is actually known
regarding tlie recent immense buying and
selling of the stock. The Vanderbilts may
lave obtained control of the system dur
ing the past two weeks. The Whitney
crowd may now own the majority of the
stock. The Flower people may be in con
trol. The big advance in the stock on Fri
day, convinced many that some powerful
interest has secured control and intended
to bold it. Tales of terrible squeezes of
the shorts were heard all about the street.
Yesterday, however, the stock tumbled
again in quite as animated a fashion as
Jt had advanced before. It west off from
$31-2 to 81-2, and closed several points
off net for the day. Manhattan and Metro
politan aleo Jsc!,r,ed, apparently in sym-
jnathy with Brooklyn'.
The Leator securities have been among
the most interesting of the week. Both the
common and preferred have advanced to the
highest prices since 1893 on heavy clique
"baying, supposed to represent the people
that are working for a readjustment of
the -securities. No plan has as yet been
made public by the company, but it is un
derstood that the following deal is favored
by the committee having the matter in
charge: The holders of common stock to
surrender half of it to the holders of
preferred, in return for which the holders
of preferred are to give up their claim for
cumulative dividends amounting to 32 per
cent.
The annual report of the Northern Pa
cific is another of the magnificent railway
statements that have been the universal
rule this year. It shows the following re

It will be seen that the payment of $1,

in a smaller surplus for the year. The

There is talk of the probability of a fine
August statement for Southern Pacific. The
street has heard hints for several days that
the showing made will be a very good one,
suggestive of a much higher price for tho
stock. This gossip and the news that tho
Huntington-Speyer crowd has secured en
tire control of the stock has induced heavy
short covering during the week.
The usual story of a settlement of the
Xew York gas war was heard two or three
times last week. Apparently it will con
tinue to be put out and denied indefinitely.
The surprising thing is the fact that the
rumors nearly always have their effect on
the stock market.
One of the stories of an exceeding Wall
Street flavor circulated yesterday was to
the effect that Mr. James K. Keene has
been the sole cause of the recent break,
and that he did it out of pique against the
Flower brokers and others. It is sug
gested that when prices were at their
highest a few weeks ago, and apparently
bound for still more altitudinous regions
tho story was circulated that Kene was
heavily short and squealing to be let out
of his trouble by a private deal. This
story, it is said, was wholly untrue, as
Mr. Keene did not squeal, or even feel
uneasy at any time. When he heard it it
hurt his feelings and he resolved to punish
the crowd that bad allowed the fiction to
go undenied. Certain it is at least that
Mr. Keene has been short of the market
recently, and that he must have cleared
Immense profits.
Wltb reference to the recent bad slump
in the United States Flour Milling stocks,
and the somewhat unpleasant remarks
made regarding the company, as a result an
officer of the concern says: "The condition
of the flour trade at this time is very much
in favor of the company. Sales are very
large and at good profits, and the manage
ment is thoroughly satisfied with the busi
ness the concern is doing.
"The aggregate capacity of the flour mills
of the company is 39,000 barrels a day, and
storage and elevator capacity 2,272,000
bushels. The company is earning at the
rate of 33 per cent per annum. It was or
ganized on a most conservative basis, and
there can be no question of overcapital
ization. The slump was due to manipulation
wholly. Someone wished to secure stock
cheap, I Infer."

CHICAGO, Sept. 23. There was not quite
so much pressure today to cover chort
wheat. There was more or less nervous
ness as to possibilities, but with only one
little failure and before the close It was
assumed that such shorts as were, under
pressure had gotten out. There was not
quite so much speculative trade, the market
seemed to be back again to the old pri
mary influences, and these were not partic
ularly bullish. The result was wheat lost

Trnnsportution of Good by Van the
Newest anil QuIvUent AVhy.
(From the New York Tribune.)
At this season of the year many people
who never ride a wheel are as thankful for
tho improved condition of the highways as
the men who have ambitions in the direc
tion of century runs- They are tho people
who move their household goeds from their
city homes to the place where they will
spend the summer. Before the days of
good roads this had to bo done by rail or
by steamboat. Tho furniture had to be
packed In vans and taken to the station
or to the wharf and then every piece had
to be handled again, packed In a car or on
the deck of the boat, and then, when the
point of destination was reached, the fur
nitureor all that was left of it had to
bo packed into a van again and carried to
the house where it was to ao service for
the season. But moving by vans and
transporting furniture on the highways
distances of from thirty to one hundred
miles have revolutionized matters in that
line, and one may have his household goods
moved now without the loss in breakage
and partial ruin which was formerly the
natural accompaniment.
"One of the phases of the constant evo
lution in division of labor," said a profes
sional mover, "is the assuming by or
ganized companies of the responsibilities
that formerly fell entirely upon the shoul
ders of the housewife. Not only is the
modern housekeeper provided with the
clothing, embroidery, pickles, preserves,
etc., which she used to make, but she la
alto relieved of the heavy burden of mov
ing. If she is wise now she sends for the
expert packers of some van company, al
lows them to inventory her goods and chat
tels, gives them the keys of the old house
and of the new, and in an incredibly short
time all ber effects have been shifted to the
new quarters and all necessary cleaning
lias been done. Lobs by breakage and
damage is avoided and freedom from all
anxiety is enjoyed. The cost may be a
little more in money tban if she supei in
tended the removal herself, but there is
an immense saving in lime, in labor, in
bodily and mental wear and tear, and in
the preservation of the goodi1
The moving is done in great vans, which
resemble circus wagons, and trips of thir
ty or forty miles are made with compara
tive case At this time of the year vans
are sent daisy to seashore reaorts and to
points up the- Hudson 'River. The pklco
charged for moving gooJ3 lonjc dibtances
depends on the condition of the roads and
the distancv. It is usually from $1 to J1.E0
a mile, but when the point to be reached
Is so far tway that a rest over night must
be made the charges for keeping teams and
men are added. If the distance i3 not more
than thirty miles the trip is mado in ona
day- The start is usually made at about
midnight, and the horses are allowed to
rest during the warmest hours of the daj.
"There is not a day at thi3 season," said
the head of a large moving concern, "that
wo do not move vanloads of furniture and
household goods firty or sixty miles, and
we hare many customers whose goods go
100 miles orm roe."
There are tome places to which there
are so many goods transported by van ev
ery year that a regular rate has been es
tablished. Thus, a vanload to Asbury Park
costs ?50, to Rye ?30, to Pompton Lakes
$50, to Lawrence r,Za, to Far uocKaway
$25, etc. Horses and carriages are usual
ly driven to their destination, and with
that kind of property thirty miles is nlso
considered a full day's work. At the
comnletion of that distance the horses are
turned in for the night, and the journey
begins anew the next morning.
In cases where the house to be reached
is a long distance from the nearest rail
road station it is lot unusual to load the
vans on platform cars and take them bv
nil to thf nearest point and then drive to
the house The people In the moving bus
iness say that, with the exception of the
Ljng Branch Steamboat Company's ves
sels, there are no boats going out of New
York which have deck room for moving
vans, and for that reason goods cannot
be transported up tho rititlsoti River In
vans except on the roads.

The Alii It "Would 1C toJJTra.v;ler.s In
All CountrivH. n
(From the Philadelphia Jr.qiurcr.)
For many years commerolaL men of all
nationalities have spoken and written on
the subject of tho introduclion of a sys
tem of coinage which should Have a uni
versal standard. The proposition ha3
failed to meet with success 'tin account
of the difficulty in persuad'ing lthe people
of different countries to abandon their
own systems of coinage, whiten appear to
them part and parcel of "themselves, as
much as their language itself.
"The time seems approaching," said a
Philadelphia financier, "when "it will be
possible, and prhaps advisable, for the
great nations of the earth to meet in con
vention and adopt a coin which shall be
cosmopolitan, the weight and fineness of
which might be determined by the conven
tion, and the minting of which might be
entrusted to a body of experts made up of
representatives from all the nations who
care to enter into the project. It may be
some time before this comes about, yet it
would greatly facilitate international busi
ness, especially since large international
transactions have come to be quite com
mon. Such a coin would probably never
supplant the coin local to the various coun
tries in which also- the cosmopolitan coin
became current, yet with education taking
such strides as it seems to be "doing every
where it ought not to be difficult to in
struct the children in schools" In the table
of the proposed coin, and give them prac
tical illustrations in its use. Such a coin
would not be welcomed enthusiastically by
small traders in different countries who are
wont to profit y the unfamiliarity of
travelers with the coin of the realm and
their natural bewilderment In attempting to
fix in their minds the comparative value of
articles considered in relation to the money
they have always handled, but It wou'jl be
a boon to the great traveling world's pub
lic, or our globe trotting commercial
travelers, to opulent tourists and to in
digent emigrants. The current is surely I
in the direction of a universal harmonizing
of commercial Interests and the elimina
tion of all the little tricks by which people
deal to themselves lucky cards and a rele
gation of all things and people in trade to
a sound basis of intrinsic merit."
"The subject of a cosmopolitan coin is
not a new one," said George Stevenson, of
the banking firm of Sailer & Stevenson, re
cently. "In some of the aspects of the
case it appears to be very desirable. It
has been suggested that the. various com
mercial nations agree upon a gold coin,
of uniform weight and fineness, to bo
given a name which would be understood
in most of the countries agreeing to its
coinage. Each country is to coin its own
pieces, and to be responsible for their ac
curacy. The coin Is to have on one side
the stamp or legend of the country coining
it, and on the other its universal name. It
will readily be seen that with such a coin
in universal use, bofli in practlca and ac
counts, commercial transactions would no
doubt bo greatly facilitated! I do not look,
however, for Its early accomplishment,
"Its desirability is not sufficient to over
come the long established customs of the
various countries so as to leaU (hem to re
linquish the names and styles'' of their
various coins. Conservative England, for
instance, with its cumbrousliystjem, Is not
likely to relinquish its pounds, shillings,
and pence and adopt the decimal-, system of
France, Germany, Italy, and' the United
States. And it Is not likely that the lat
ter would give up their quick and handy
decimal system for that of' England. On
the whole, the idea is a very good one,
but, like many other good things like the
proposed metrical system, for instance
impossible of accomplishment- fpr various
reasons at present."
