THE RICHMOND DISPATCH-SUNDAY MAY 22. 1898. STOCKS DP SLIGHTLY. 8CHIM1 l M 11 PORTANT O* LACK or \u\i, M-.wi. WEKX'S MOVEMENT NARROW. Price* (?aite Generally Minher, and Rave Held Steady?Wheat Up? Cora Lower?Fork, Lard, and Rib? ?ala. NEW YORK. May H.-Deallnge were not large nor Important on the Stock Ex change to-day. Operator?, almost with out exception, maintained their attitude of waiting for the ?ituatlon in West In dian water? to clear I*self. The report that the Spanish fleet had come Into Santiago and bad succeeded In getting away again was not generally credited, eomlng a? it did from Spanish source?. But It exerciaed some depressing effect, nevertheless. It was probably the cause for the decline in prices after the opening rise. The rise In Spanish fa In London and Paris showed that it was not without , It? effect, aleo, in foreign markets. There wa? selling for London, which kept up a depress?*! ton? in some of the interna tional?. Prices ro?je a fraction above UBt night's close, and In some cases a point or mora A feature of the trading, again, waa the isolated movement of obscure and dormant stocks. The close was strong at the top prices. The stock market has not moved widely during th? week, and it has become evi dent that operator? regard the prcaent levai of prices aa fixing a fair equilibrium between the conflicting factors in the out look. On one aide is the chance of a naval reverse. This is considered re mote. But it must be conceded that in Wall street more weight attaches to this possibility than wa? the case a week ago. As it is, prices are substantially higher, the Grangers naturally leading, owing to the extraordinary movement ot grain. FINE BUSINESS OUTLOOK. There wer? numerous Indien tlons of a strong industrial and financial, outlook, which la coming to have more and more influence, In ?pite of the Incubus of the war. Railroad earning? ?how striking increases, not only over la?t year, but over previous years, and in some casts all record? are broken for this seuson of the yeai. There Is an increase also In the bank ?1? ..tings of the country, which showed a ratable contraction after the sinking of the Maine In Habana harbor, but which have again risen well over the average of IST?!, the previously high level. With a favorable trade balance of $614, 000,000 for ten months of the fiscal year. against the best previous record of than $300.000.000 for a full year, there Is no room left for timid upprehenslon about th? country's future money resources. The weekly bank statement doea not Indicate that money is being very lnrgely dlv? into active channel? of usefulness. De posits have been plied up $14.267,000, in spite of large withdrawals from the market for government account, while loans have only been expended a little more than half as much. A large allow ance, also, must be made for loans mo le on sterling exchange as collateral, which represents. In effect, loans made in for eign markets. This operation has been carried on to a large extent during the week. Notwithstanding an increase in re serve requirements of over USM.9B, the surplus Is, therefore, Increased by $8,718.025. The demand was, however, largely confined to tho more speculative Issue?. PRICES GENERALLY HIGHER. Prices are quite generally higher and have held steady* even through the re actions which occurre.l in the stock market. United States new 4's declined \. the old 4's, registered, *t, and the ?'a 1-4 In the bid price. The total sales of stocks to-day wer? lOe.-KX) shares, Including Rock Island, ( a 10,720; St. Paul. 8.280; Wheeling and Like | A Erle. 8,910; American Spirit!*. 6,024; United * States Leather, preferred, 7,540. IIOMBT AND KxritANGE. Money on call nominally 13-1 per cent.; 4>rime mercantile paper, 41-2*_61-2 per cent. Sterling exchange steady, with actual business in bankers' bills at $4.861-4$ $4.? 1-2 for demand, and ?4.83 l-40$4.8>l-2 for sixty days; post??! rates, it.-,*u$4.&7; commercial billa, $4.82*31-1.821-2. Silver certificates, 7.'. g "Jar silver, 671-2. Mexican dollars, 45 1-4. State bonds dull. Railroad bonds steady. Government bonds steady. STOCKS IN LONDON. The Evening Post's cablegram says: The stock markets here were idle to-day, but firm. Spanish 4's have risen 1 point. Argentines were good, and Kaffirs better. Americans were lifeless. Grand Trunk was stror;. Brazil stocka have risen sharply here. I learn from an un doubted Kource that the Brazilian Presi dent-elect, who 1? In this country, is negotiating with the Rothschilds a scheme for the reconstruction of the Brasilien finance?. I have reason to be lieve that this scheme nrovldi s for a funding loan, based on customs receipts, the coupon? on the existing debt i paid in bonds for three years, as In the r??ao of the method employed by Argen tina. BANK STATEMENT. The weekly bank statement shows the following changes: Surplus recorve, Increase, $3,718.025. Loans, Increase, $7.857.800. Specie, Increase, $5,963,500. Legal tenders, Increase, $1,321,500. Deposits, increase, $14,267,900. Circulation, Increase, $51,000. The banks now hold $50,715,?vj in excess of the requirements of the 25 per cent rul?. COMMENTS OF "FINANCIER." The Financier says this week: In the face of the showing made by the MOW York banks for the week ending May Hat. It is difficult to ?ee how the money mar ket i? to be sustained, even on the pren ant lower level, for any length of time. The banks now hold an excess reserve of 850,715,250. the highest reported In four teen months, and the total cash lu bank has rarely exceeded the present volume. The circumstances which have brought about the remarkable changes in th? atatement are not difficult to understand. Th? ?teady demand for interior remit tances ha? given way to a decided move ment to this centre. The shipments to the Interior have not equullcd gold im ports for some time. Added to this, the Treasury Is disbursing large sums of money, and until two weeks ago high rates forced a constant liquidation ot loans and sales of accumulated sterling bill?. The result has been to throw a mail of idle money Into the bank*. For tunately, the situation has so much im proved that the banks are finding use for part of thl? money, and the expansion of $7.857,900 In loans for tho week is a cheer iug sign. What proportion of this Increase represent? mercantile demand? cannot be aettmated, but it is true that seme very active buying of sterling bill? 1? a*aln being Indulged In. The expansion of ave rage? toe the week can be traced to seve rM large bank?, notably thote which are concerned in international movcni? hut. on the other hand, the institutions making a specialty of country accounts report Increased deposite, showing the return tld? from the interior. Under normal clrcumatanc??, a move ment In favor of New Y??rk ia only natu ral at thl? ?ea?on, and now that the pro Mtod government bond Issue has b?en decided on. New York will prohablv con? jgtoie to gain heavily. The exoort figure? laaued by the Treaaury Indicate that until ?ment calls for fund? the sur plus ca?h will again seek Investment In deferred foreign exchange?.

The case was lately trans ferred from the Henrico County Court to the City Circuit Court. Counsel employ ed in the case are. Messrs. Beverly T. Crump, Daniel Grlnnan, J. S. Bryan, and F. S.
