The Bank Statement and Short Ses

NET YORK, Oct. 21. There was today
a further development of strength in tbc
stock market, despite a bank statement de
scribed as unfavorable. Only a few of the
stocks dealt In failed to show gains. The
losses recorded were for the most part sus
tained by inactive stocks. The dealings
were on a fairly large scale, considering
the brevity of the stock exchange session,
and they were well distributed. The ruling
quotation for call money was 5 per cent.
but some loans were made as low as 3 per
cent. ' Sterling exchange was dull, and
while the quoted rates were unchanged,
their tendency appeared to be downward.
The bank statement disclosed that money
still was moving to the interior, although
in decreased volume. There was a loss by
the banks of $1,378,900 in cash. They
Rained from the subtreasury $141,900. so
that their loss in the regular course was
Jl, 53000. A contraction of $5,366,000 in
loans, with a decrease of f,570.5C0 in de
posits, permitted an increase of $263,700 in
the surplus reserve. It was the general be
lief that the period of unsatisfactory bank
statements had nearly if not quite reached
its coaehffiton. The needs of the South
and West for money to move the crops
were thought to have been fully supplied.
Sugar Refining led in the trading
in stocks. It was in large demand to
ewer -short contracts and advanced with i
celerity. No chance in the sugar trade
was reported. In fact in any circumstances
disorder must continue in the trade until
the end of the year, to which time the
price fgnamntees by the American Com
pany and the independent refineries are
effective. Glucose Refining held its place.
There was an active enquiry for United
States Leather on the understanding that
the plan for the readjustment of the com
pany's stock issues would succeed. There
were additional gains by both classes of
American Unseed on the strength of the
company's increased earnings. Steel Hoop I
moved up on moderate purchases. The
net result of the business in Brooklyn
Rapid Transit was a fractional loss in
price. Metropolitan Street Railway and
Manhattan Railway advanced. Realizing
accounted for a recession in Pullman Pal
ace Car. New York Central declined
slightly. As a general thing railroad
stocks improved. As compared with the
final prices of last Saturday, the majority
of .stocks are higher.

Tfae past week has been an excellent one
in the stock market. Prices have ad
vanced appreciably from the level of a
week ago, but although this is, of course,
satisfactory, it is not by any means the
greatest cause for congratulation. The
temper of the street has changed material
ly. The large operators on both sides of
the market have shown themselves as buy
ers, the bears in covering short contracts,
cad the bulla in making new ventures, and,
in faou 4n endeavoring to advance the mar
ket and give the public more confidence.
Both the bulls and the bears have given
ample, evidence that they believe the time
ie wear for a bull movement, if it has not
already arrived. And, in addition to this,
the pulbic has shown more interest in the
market than for some time past. The bull
leaden nay begin an upward movement,
but they will not keep it up alone in
definitely, and for this reason the public
buying has been esrlally significant.
The new developments of the week have
not been important, and some of them
have been rather discouraging than other
wise, which makes the persistence of the
advance in prices particularly attractive.
Mr. Keen came out with a bear interview,
and later he set afloat stories of coming
gold exports. On the day following each
of these matters the market showed net
gains. The beginning of the week was
clouded with all kinds of rumors regarding
Brooklyn Rapid Transit, and the bears
have directed much of their effort to break
ing tilts stock. Transit has advanced dur
ing the week, however. The first fighting
in the Transvaal has occurred. A blow has
been struck at trusts in Illinois, and the
bears nave expressed the opinion that it
wouM Jm an adverse effect on the indus
trial list. The industrials have held their
own, and. some of them have made good
gains, notably Sugar.
Os Che other side of the account are the
really Important items. Railway earnings
have continued to increase, and it now
seems probable that rates will ba advance 1
all over the country more than enough tj
make op for the advance in price of coal,
iron, ami other supplies needed by the
railways. There la such a glut of buaiaesi
ss the rail way a have never seen before,
freight actually having been turned away
or loos; delayed by it. Money has workeJ
easier, and the fear of stringent money has
largely disappeared. It is not entire y to
be thrown aside, but the chances of con
tteually improving conditions are large.
The trade reviews reflect larger and large.

prices to be obtained for them will make

Yesterday's bank statement was nega
tively good. The predictions made yester
day morning in the street made the de
crease in the surplus reserve for the week
anywhere from $1,000,000 to ?2,O00,0O0 and
the statement showed a gain of $250,000.
There was a loss of cash, however. The
figures of the statement are as follows:

The best showing made during the week
as far as actual net advance is concerned
was by Sugar. The slock closed at 151 on
Saturday, October 15, and yesterday it
closed at 149 1-8. The price reached yes
terday was the best since early in Sep
tember. The sharpness of the advance in
Sugar is particularly noticeable, not only
because the general list has made no such
gains, but because there has been a marked
absence of news regarding the trust, or
even of "views." Some speculators are in
clined to believe that the decision of the
Illinois courts against the glucose company
may have created sentiment in favor of
the Sugar Trust. Another theory is that
the buying of the stock may have been by
the bull leaders for the purpose of creating
bullish sentiment among the public. One
tip given out early in the week was that
Sugar, New York Central, and Tennessee
Coal and Iron would be taken as leaders
by a big bull clique. The tip has-been ful
filled admirably so far as Sugar and New
York Central are concerned, and it only
remains to be seen if Tennessee Coal and
Iron will join these stocks this week on
their upward course.
The Vanderbilts have been largely in
terested in the recent buying, whether vith
the clique or not cannot, perhaps, be said.
They have bought large amounts of New
York Central, and it is believed that they
have sold none. Their presence in the
market is one of the best of bull argu-
mantc r, tMil'o fVMn-aia rlitrini the irppk
has been upward ahnost everv daVj aml the
net gain for the week isgodn. The closing
price a week ago was 133 3-4, ami the close
yesterday was 138, the high price of the
week having been a point or more above
this figure. The Union Pacifies have also
made good gains in price, the commission
houses having taken them up yesterday,
as a result of the advance in Central on
Friday, as was predicted in this column.
Union Pacific common advanced from 43
to 45 1-4 during the week and the preferred
stock advanced from 75 3-8 to 77. North
west advanced from 1G5 to 172, and Omaha
had a good gain, although it was very little
dealt in. The Vanderbilt securities as a
group were much the strongest and most
buoyant on the list.
Pullman stock has continued to be one
of the interesting features of the list. Dur
ing the early part of the week there was
talk of a "melon" to be cut, to divide a
portion of the immense surplus of the com
pany among the stockholders. Later whis
pers of a combination with the "Wagner
Company were heard, and, as stated at the
time in this column, there was every rea
son to believe that the consolidation would
take place. The meeting of the company
occurred, and a statement of the year's
business was given out that made a fine
showing, despite some loss of profit owing
to competition with the Wagner concern.
It was said by officers of the Pullman Com
pany when the meeting adjourned that no
combination with the Wagner Company was
likely. This denial was not believed, and
yesterday's developments show that the di
rectors had been using the truth lightly.
The stock of the company has fluctuated
somewhat widely, but it has held its own
well, and many people of intensely specu
lative inclinations are disposed to buy it
further on account of the "melon" which
has not yet been cut. There are several
millions of surplus and of property of
various kinds owned by the company that
are likely to be turned into cash, and even
If the surplus is not be divided at this time,
it certainly makes the stock attractive.
The advances made by the grangers dur
ing the week were not large, but the tend
ency of prices was steadily upward in the
group. St. Paul made a set gain ot
2 points, closing at 125 3-4;' Rock
Island a net gain of 1 7-S, closing
at 113 3-8; Burlington a net ad
vance of 1 3-4, closing at 131 1-4, and At
chison preferred a net gain of 2 1-8, Closing
at 64 1-4. The developments of the week
were all favorable to the group. The gross
earnings statements for the second week of
October were "Excellent, and the September
statement of Chicago Great Western was
again phenomenal. The predictions are all
that the other September statements of
the group will be equally fine. Business
on all these lines is immense, and rates
are being held up so that the prospects foi
the coming months are all that could be
desired by the best friends of the group.
The coalers have been inactive during
the week.
Much optimism is expressed regarding
the Tennessee Coal and Iron stock in
various usually well informed quarters.
The actual fine showing of the company
for the months of August and September
is used as the basis for these bull tips, but
it seems quite likely that they are put out
actually by the T. C. I. pool, which, it is
said, intends to begin a campaign in the
stock this week. The facts regarding the
earnings of the company are that they
have made a steady increase month by
month as the prices paid for iron under old
contracts advanced. Thus a comparison
of the earnings of the first six months of
the year and of the three months follow
ing shows that the figures for the latter
period are larger. The total net earnings
for the first six months of the year were
$230,400, and the net for the past three
months were $363,300. The company is no.
yet receiving anything like the present
price for its products, but every month the
old contracts are for higher figures. In
September the average price was about
$15. For the balance of the year it will be
$1C or more, and contracts for 1900 are at
the present quoted prices. This showing
gives the best ground for belief that the
earnings of the company for the year will
be more than 10 per cent.
The gross earnings of the Norfolk and
Western for the second week of October
were $307,128. an increase of $71,291. The
gross earnings from July 1 have been
13,906,174, an increase of ?f!02,203. Big
Four's earnings for the week show an in
crease of $43,754. From July 1 the increase
in earnings was $293,281.
President Gary, of the Federal Steel
Company, estimates that the present or
ders for steel rails on the books of the
steel companies will aggregate 1,200.000
tons. lie states his belief that during the
past week at least 350,000 tons have been
ordered.
Stuyvesant Fish, President of the Illi
nois Central, had several things to say to
the Industrial Commission yesterday re
garding the alleged over-capitalization of
the railways of the- country. His testi
mony was pertinent. It is given fully
elsewhere in The Times, but one or two of
his remarks may be repeated with profit
here. In the years between 1S90 and 1S98
the mileage of the railways of the country
has ipcreased 18.06 per cent, while their
capitalization, including both bonds and
stock, has increase only 14.64 per cent.
During the same years In the United
Kingdom the miles of railway operated
have increased 7.9 per cent, and the capi
talization of the railways has Increased
26.41 per cent. The capitalization, in
eluding bonds nnd stock, of the American
railways s $60,343 per mile. That of the
British railway, is about $260,000 per mile.
These figures Mr. Fish culled, largely, from
the Interstate Commerce Commission re
ports, and he states that he cannot vouch
for their accuracy.

The Local Security. JHnrb;cJ.
The business of the local stock exchange
has been active, and prices in nearly ail
cases buoyant, during the past week: There
has been a steady though small increase
in the amount of business done from week
to week during the past month, or since
the autumn activity set in. The record for
the past six days was 5,087 shares of a
total value of $241,658, which approaches a
thousand shares and $50,000 a day. Prices
in the active issues have had extreme fluc
tuations of 2 and 3 pointSv.jiDThisJrecord Sou
the week is particularly good when it Is
remembered that in the past few days there
has been floated entirely among local in
vestors a bond issue of $500,000, and that
subscriptions to a new bonding company
to the extent of something like $750,000
have been made in the past two months.
Brokers express confidence that thoautumn
and winter will witness a brisk business in
local securities. Yesterday's transactions
amounted to more than $60,000, and more
than 1,700 shares of stock.
Capital Traction has been one of the fea
tures of the week. The stock has advanced
in price from 93 1-4 on Monday to 94 3-1
yesterday, and there has been an apparently
good demand for it at all times. The ad
vance is attributed to the official announce
ment that the company will float $1,500,000
in bonds in January, and that they will be
given to the stockholders at par. They
will be 4 per cent bonds, and, according to
the present prices of local securities, shoula
sell at a fair premium, which will depend
somewhat on the length of time they are to
run.
In this connection it may be noted that
the bid and asked prices of Telephone
stock have been somewhat weaker during
the week. This is attributed by some to
the fact that the new issue of Telephone
Company bonds was not given to the
stockholders at par or at any price, but to
a syndicate. The value of the bonds and
of the right to purchase them if it had
been given to stockholders, may be seen
from the fact that the entire issue was
readily sold by Mr. Hibbs, the head of the
syndicate, for 105. It cannot be doubted
that Telephone stock would have advancel
Instead of declining if the issue had been
offered to stockholders. There has been
rather sharp adverse comment against the
directors of the company for the somewhat
unusual method It pursued in the matter.
Mergenthaler Linotype had one of its
downward fluctuations Priday and yester
day, the drop from the best price of the
week being 2 5-S. Washington Gas ad
vanced during the week from 55 3-1 to
56 3-8, yesterday's price. There has been
a slight hardening In the price of the
Graphophone issues recently, the present
level being 13 1-S for the common and
13 1-2 for the preferred.
Fire insurance stocks have made a very
good showing during the week. Potomac
advanced on rather heavy business from
76 to 75 1-2; Itiggs sold at 9, and People's
at 7 to 7 1-4. It is said that the buying of
Potomac represents investment in the
stock by people who are pleased with the
prospects or the company in Its combination
with the. Lincoln. Talk on the street is
that the consolidation of these two com
panies does not represent the extent of the
plans in this direction among the fire in
surance companies of the District. Plans
are apparently not ripe for disclosure as
yet, but it is known that officers of other
concerns have had conferences along this
line.
Comment is somewhat general In the
street that the affairs of the new bonding
company are not progressing as rapidly as
was hoped for. It is known that sub
scriptions to the last 1,000 shares intended
for District Investors have come in very
slowly and have not yet all been re
ceived. A meeting of the gentlemen in
terested in the company will be held this
week to discuss ways and means. It has
been suggested that a brokerage firm might
probably place, the balance of the stock
more readily.

werp about 5-Sc lower. Primary receipts
were about 500,000 bushels, and- for the
week about 2,200,000 bushels under last
year. Clearances were 105,000' bushels.
Corn a little better than held its own;
at one time l-l3-8c over Friday. The
bull side among the scalpers seemed to be
a little more popular. Tho shipping sit
uation is not as strong as it was last week.
Bids were not relatively as good com
pared with the option. Through billed corn,
however, Is strong, up today l-2c.
Oats closed where they did Friday, keep
ing close to corn. Cash handlers believe
the oats discount, compared with corn,
under all circumstances, narrow.
Provisions averaged a little higher with
most of the buying for a Western packer.
Other packers sold moderately. The cash
demand for meats was good, but slow for
lard; estimated for Monday 34,000; for
next week, 160,000.

THE CUBAN TOBACCO CHOP.
The AVcelcly Weather Ilureiin Bul
let In it Fnvornble Report.
The weekly climate and crop bulletin
Issued by the Weather Bureau, covering
conditions in Cuba for tho week ended
October 11, reports that the week was un
usually dry throughout the Island and that
heavier rains are greatly needed. In re
gard to tobacco the bulletin says: "This
crop has improved in northeastern and
southwestern Santa Clara. Some improve
mon is noted in seed plots in northwestern
Matanazs, and they have been injured in
southwestern Havana and southeastern
Pinar Del Rio; small seed plots being re
ported lost in tho latter district. Trans
planting is being done in southeastern Ha
vana. Planting of seed plots Is retarded
In southwestern Plnar Del Rio where young
plants are reported scarce and high-priced.
Due to insfllcient rain, the plants' are not
sprouting in parts of southwestern Santa
Clara."
In regard to the conditions, of the cane
crop, the bulletin says: "Spring and fall
canes have improved in northeastern and
southwestern Santa Clara, northwestern
Havana and southwestern Matanzas, but
need rain in northern Matanzas; are
not in a satisfactory condition in north
eastern Matanzas and have been injured
in southwestern Havana. Absence of rains
has stopped planting in southeastern Ha
vana, and southwestern and northeastern
Santa Clara; also cutting and shipping
seed cane in southeastern Havana. The
canes are below the average height in
northeastern Santa Clara. Crickets, or
locusts, are damaging sprouts in south
western Santa Clara. In northwestern
Santa Clara It Is feared that the prevailing
cool weather will cause the cane to blos
som prematurely."
