Growing confidence In the defeat of Populism and BryanlFm at the November election was re flected In the course of stock market trading last v/eek. An advance in values, started by the professional element, attracted a good class of public buying, which on several days of th* ■week reached a total of transactions of above SOfi.ooo shares. The character of trading was excellent. Buyers were not weak speculative operators whose margins cannot stand a two or three point decline. Of course, there was some buying for small speculators, but the greater part of the week's business was for the ac count of interests who are fully able to protect their lines and who are in the market for the profits of the future rather than for the gains of an ante-election bull rise. Heavy realizing sales were made in the week, but the buying was as good as the selling:, especially in the shares of recognized merit. Bull pools are at work in the market. If the support derived from their operations should be withdrawn the bear element would doubtless be able to turn the market In its favor for a time; but unless the substantial holders of stocks sell important declines are not considered probable. A moderate setback in values would carry few regrets among: the interests who have the most at etake in current speculation. Big speculators do not care to encourage a runaway bull mar ket. The money market is not yet in condition to support an enormous speculation in stocks, while the chances are that it will not reach that position until later on in the year. Conservative speculators are working', for higher prices on quiet lines. They belieV* that -higher prices are warranted by actual cppdtficm.a, but they do not believe that the market should be forced. The re-election of President McKinley will doubtless be followed by a rise in values, in the course of which heavy profit taking will likely occur, and. in consequence, a considerable reaction may take place in prices before a sustained bull movement develops. The situation is promising, but it Is filled with "ifs" that will bear careful watching. At the moment there is no great technical weakness on the bull side of specu lation, for the simple reason that stocks have not been absorbed by people who deal on "shoe string" margins. It ip therefore unreasonable to expect a crash in values. It is a good time to be provided with liberal margins. It is a good time for hopefulness. It is a good time to be lonp of the cheap stocks of great intrinsic merit. Speculative Wall Street worked diligently for a. reaction last week, but results were far from satisfactory. Reces-sions brought in new buyers, and higher prices did not attract sales by sub stantial holders. Wall Street has evidently under estimated the financial character of the greater number of owners of stocks. Realizing sales so tar have reflected the operations of speculators who make quick turns in the market. Declines brought about by such s-;.: increase the chances f further strength by improving the market's technical position. It hardly seems reasonable r i expect that strong financial interests who have been carrying stocks for many months will Fell on Th« first advance if conditions suggest thai the public appetite for speculation can be excited at still richer prices later on in the ion. Assuming that Bryan will be defeated, there is no factor in the situation that should frighten investors. And there are many factors that should naturally encourage confidence in the value of securities and confidence in the belief .that as measured by existing and prospective conditions the greater number of stocks are sell ing in the market under their actual value. Looking to the near future the effect of Repub lican victory must be followed by improvement in the country's industries. Growing industries mean growing value for Investments, and sooner or later this expansion in actual worth must be followed by expansion in market quotations. Trade reports from all over the country give many reasons for encouragement. Railroad earnings continue heavy, especially in the South and Southwest. Conditions in the iron and steel trade are improving, and the companies are making money despite the- so-called let up in trade activity. The railroads are so well con vinced that the big steel concerns are enjoying big profits that they naturally believe that steel rails under 126 will still return handsome gains to the steel companies. The iron and steel trade does not as a rule issue statements of earnings, but inside information encourages the belief that the business is on a sound and substantial bisls. The companies that are paying conserva tive dividends will not be forced to reduce their payment! this year. The settlement of the coal Mrike is an important factor in the industrial situation. Indeed, all factors appear to be working in favor of further industrial activity la the country at large. The local money mar ket is not oversupplied with funds, but it has enough money for all legitimate requirements, and later on it will have enough money to finance a big speculation in stocks. The actual position of the banks is sound, and even better than reflected by Saturday's statement of aver ages. Gold is on its way to New-York from ail over the world, and by the middle of Xovem •ber local holdings should, be largely added to by a heavy return movement from the Interior. GOVERNMENT BONDS.

GERMAN TRADE AND FINANCE. Berlin. Oct. 28.— October la drawing to a close amid conditions of increasing ease In the money market. The rate for the prolongation of money has fallen to 7j,.7 j,. and there are Instances of loans of S%. Many months have passed since a monthly settlement proved so favorable for the bulls. The progress of the settlement shows a larger short element than had been expected, which has been forced to cover, thereby strengthening the market. At the weekly meeting of the Reichsbank Com mittee Herr Koch, president of the bank, said that discounts and loans had fallen 205.000.000 marks since the beginning of the month, as compared with 113.000,000 marks during the corresponding period last year. On the other hand, he explained that the gold stock had increased 74.000.000 marks as against 62,000,000 marks during the corresponding period in 1893. and now stood at 70.000.000 marks above last year's figures. He also pointed out that private discount was 3", Instead of 5Vi. the rate in 1599, and that money had grown easier on the Bourse. In concluding his statement he expressed the opinion that, notwithstanding the approach of the end of the year and despite the political situa tion, there was no occasion for changing the bank rate. The Bourse had upon the whole a good week. Iron shares generally advanced, notwithstanding a new batch of unfavorable news from the Iron centres. Cement shares scored a considerable rise upon the prospective completion of the syndicate. Imperial and Prussian loans Improved, owing to the increasing demand for nxed Investments sine* the holders of Mortgage Bank obligations began selling a week ago. The other institutions of this class have formed a guarantee fund of 15,000.000 marks to purchase the obligations of the Mortgage Bank, whose quotations broke violently week be fore last. This, however, has not checked public apprehension, and the sales in this line continue. The demand for American railway securities was excellent. It is ascertained from a trustworthy quarter th.it the subscription for the Hamburg loan 0/ sO.nnp.oon marks reached 300.000.000. a result that is considered brilliant. The -Frankfurter Zeitung," recalling the recent ioan In New-York. says: The brilliant success of the Hamburg loan »h£ ws that the advisers of the Imperial Treasury hnd formed a totally false Judgment of the condition of the derman money market. The Prussian railways have Informed the coal companies In the Essen district that only 90 per cent of the freight cars demanded can be fur nished, and the forthcoming Prussian budget will provide for 9.600 freight cars. According to the "Cologne Gazette" contracts for over eight thou sand freight cars and about one thousand passenger cars will be placed next month. •■- : " Germany's pig Iron output for September was 799.200 tons.
