REACTIONARY DRIFT OF THE
MARKET DIE TO VARIETY .
OF CAUSES
CONDITION OF BANK RESERVES
One of the Thing* That Dnex Xot Kn
conriig'c Bull Operations—
I.arjjre Holdings In
terested.
NEW YORK; Feb 23.— (Special.)—Henry
Clews, in his weekly financial review,
says:
"Owing to a variety of causes the drift
Of the stock market during the past week
has been reactionary. La3t .Saturday's
statement o£ the Associated Banks was so
unexpectedly unfavorable that -it pro
duced a cautionary effect—the more so
because the mood of the stock market
, was not sanguine enough to make specu
lative holders indifferent to the aspects
of the money market. The sensitiveness
of money was also aggravated by the
uncertainty as-10 whether some consider
able loans might not be needed for con
summating the billion dollar steel and
iron combination.
"Also, the market has shown plain indi
cations of tiredness in" the speculative
department. Experienced operators have
been on the lookout for this symptom
of a coming yielding in the high tension
to which Che market has so long been
subject; and the more cautious holders
have been free sellers on the appearance
of ti:is sign of coming reaction. The mar
ket is so much under ■ the influence of
conflicting currents and uncertain factors,
that the cliques are becoming less ag
gressive and are putting themselves on
the defensive. The vacillation in prices
of certain stocks which have been under
vigorous manipulation plainly indicates a
growing disposition to take in sail, at
least temporarily.
"The very exceptionally "low condition
of the bank reserves for this season of
the year, with no positive assurance of
an early increase of cash funds, while it
may not produce any general or very
positive discouragement, does hold 'bull'
operations in check and induce postpone
ment ol buying. Among certain cliques
there is still a strong undertone of expec
tancy, more qualified by moderation, how
ever, than has been the case in the earlier
stages of the boom. Indeed, it is doubtful
whether the larger professional opera
tors are calculating upon any further
material advance in prices for the pres
ent. The most prudent would probably
be fully satisfied with a market that
would enable them to get out of their
very large holdings at about current fig
ures, and it will not be surprising if they
are found to be now quietly acting on
that policy. They cannot afford to stand
still In presence of successive lapses in
prices and spells of comparative dullness
and must either diminish their Toad by
selling or Increase it in the face of un
certain conditions and when prices are
already unprecedeutedly high. And yet
it is no easy matter to realize on any
liberal amounts of stock without produc
ing a nervous condition of the market
and raising a rush to sell that might play
havoc with 'bull' interests. That, how
ever, is not a course of affairs that the
managers of 'deals' desire; they may need
money for consummating their plans and
above all desire the maintenance of a
general buoyancy in the ranks of specu
lation."
O> THB BERLIN EOERSE.
Prevailing Tone Firm, lint Volume
of Business Light.
BERLIN, Feb. 24.—The* prevailing tone
of the boerse U-st week was firm, but
the volume of business whs light. The
reduction of the discount rate of the
Bank of England and the announcement
in the diet by Herr. Biefleld, minister of
commerce, of the government's intention
to reform the boerse law, gave strength
to the market.
American railway securities were neg
lected with the exception of Northern
Pacific, which was rather active. Trans
vaal raHway shares vacillated, but closed
With an increase on the wei k.
Iron shares were fairly steady, not-
Y-'ithManding tbe publication of the .«ml
annu.il reports of the Laura works ami
tho ! '..i! ifnund union, showing decreased
earninprs, the market having already
dlfcounted this result.
The Dr&edecer bank report showed 14,
--oS7.ir.> marks net earning-.-, as against
14,919,613 in 1599, and a dividend, of 8
per cent as against 9. .
The report of the Darmstaedter ba.nlc
shows 1,465,611 mark? less net earninga
than for l v!''>, and a dividend of 1} per cent
sis against 7. The Berliner Handels Ges
rll.-cLaU earned 8.505.700 R.arks, aa against
10.0CZ.127 marks in ISS!9, \vith a dividend
of 8 per cent, against I' 1:.
The reduced earnings arc generally due
to lower receipts from stock and bond
operations and flotations. On tnis sjore
tie Berliner Handesl Gesellschaft writes
off 2,000,000 marks for losses.
The money market remains easy. The
private rate of discount lias risen to 3.^
The Rtichsbank offered treasury bills
this we k upon the bocrse for discount
and sold about 80,000,000, running' from
six to nine weeks, thus raising funds for
tlit- government until the row 3 p«r cents
arc issued.
Paris also has been buying discounts
nere, causing Paris .exchange to weaken.
The Bank .of .England's reduction leads
to the expectation that the Reichsbank
will reduce its rate Tuesday, although
doubts are expressed, owing to the high
rate of foreign exchange. London- ex
change fell Thursday, but it began to risa
again Friday owing to the forthcoming
settlement of the German mining account
in . London.
I.OVUDX STOCK EMHAXOiB.
Good Tone Taken to Indicate a Fair
. Support.
LONLiON. Feb. 24.--Last week the stock
exchange did only a moderate busmen,
but the tone was good, indicating that
the market was receiving support. The
reduction in the- rate 01 the Bank of Ens
land stimulated purchases for investment
but consols were lower on the woek*
American securities were the only weak
section of the market. They fell sharply
In the early part of the week, thus en
couraging: not enly realizations, but bear
activity. Later they hardened under fa
vorable reports of the • progress of'the
steol combinations, which resulted In buy
ing on the right side. On the average
they, closed 2 to 4 points lower on the
v,eek, but cleared above the average.
Among- the increases were Illinois Central
which lose y 2 point; New York Centra!
and Hudson River, !i; AtcHison, Topeka

Ohio, 54; Norfolk & Western preferred

and Wabash preferred. 14.
It is asserted that a larse amount of
4 per cent Union Pacific bonds were plac
ed in London last week at 10S. '• =■ -.
Mining shares under the influence of
the prevailing impression that the end
of the war in South Airi;a is not far
distant continue to show a steady tone
but business in that demand is moderate'
Buyers? are cautious, and although values
nave been well maintained, there is an
absence of animation. At one time a

11l Certain Line* Was More Animated
Than the Previous Week
MANCIIESTEH, Feb. -The material
market was rather more animated last
v.'«ek, and transactions in a variety of
cloths were fairly numerous, although
the turnover was not satisfactory. Mer
chants, stimulated by- th,? harder cotton
did Dot hesitate to offer siL£h busino.^
an they had In hand, but much of this
was not acceptable. Tfrero was a moder
ate inquiry from the East and Far HisE
and a lew lines for shipment wer« secur
ed from China and Singapore. Increased
business with China is expected after the
Chinese New Year's celebrations. Occa
sional fair lines were negotiated for In
dia. The reviving faith in the American
market continues. The African market
however, shows no improvement, and
buyers are despondent. Tho. homo trad->
houses are forwnrdinsr fh« first parcels
of the searcn's noveltl^. Yarns show no
change, f prices J >f'111* firm In sympathy
with cotton. There Is little or no inquiry
for Bn&t«rn shipments; but -tho J-evant
demand continues, with moderate sales.

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.—Wheat and corn
were moderately active today and closed
the former %@%c higher, and the latter
%<[t%c Improved. Oats closed is@^i.o up,
and provisions unchanged to 10c higher.
! Business in wheat was not of . a .conspic
[ uous character, but the tone of the mar
ket was firm. A prominent elevator con
cern formed the chief support, taking
in about half a million bushels of May
[ during the half-day session. May opened
I %@%c higher at 76c .to 76 l/gC,. Influenced
i by the steadiness of the Liverpool mar
! ket. Sympathy with corn helped the
! market later, and May touched 76%?- and
I closed %@&e higher at 76 1 / s@7ti'/ I c. With,
| the rank and tile .sentiment averaged
j bearish, but there was little done in the
! way of backing up their ideas, partly
| because they had "evened up" Thursday
! to carry themselves safely over Washing-
I ton's birthday and did- not car? to as
sume a decided attitude, which, of course,
could not be defended, tomorrow. There
was little satisfaction in calculating the
value of the receipts, as in most cases
they were for two days. The export sit
uation was apparently- as bearish as
ever, for with -ocean freights almost
nothing compared with a few,months ago
exporters had but one. load to report to
be taken for foreign shipment.. Sea
board clearances in wheat and flour were
equal to 317,000 bu. Primary receipts were
Sol.ooo bu, compared with 507,009 bu last
year. Minneapolis and Duluth. reported
656 cars, against 411 last week, and 625
a year ago. Local receipts were 42 cars,
2 of contract grade.--Argentine shipments,
according to board of trade figures, were
1,032,000 bu last week. It was announced
that some of the Minneapolis mills which
were shut down a few weeks ago would
resume work Monday. '. . ..;
Corn ruled stiong on covering. Re
ceipts were ilO cars, 11 cars of contract
grade. Quite an improvement on the
showing that has been made for some
months. What influence this had, how
ever, was expected at the opening, which
was a shade lower to %@&c higher for
May at 40% cto 41c. On a fair commis
sion house demand anil light offerings
the market held steady 1 for some time.
Towards the end of the- session buying
by shorts caused a sharp bulge to 41% c,
and the close was strong, %@%c higher,
at 41 I£c. Big operators merely dallied
with the market.
Oats ruled dull early and firm later in
sympathy with corn. Lone: oats came out
on the advance, but the market had good
support. May sold between 2G^Br:&c and
25<6!&26c^ and closed •A& iAc ■•: higher -at
25% c. Receipts were 317 cars.
Provisions were extremely dull. May
pork opened at $14.07^ and went to $14.17y0
on just two trades. Sentiment, ho we vet;
was bullish because of light hog receipts
and in sympathy with corn. May pork
closed 10c higher at $14.1"»; May lard un
changed at ?7.E2^2, and May rigs 5c up
at $7.12%.
Estimated receipts for Monday are:
Wheat, 75 cars; corn, 015 cars; oats, 410
cars; hogs, 40,000 head. ■ - .

revelation of a possible consummation
of the important financial operations
that have distinguished the • openfifj
months of the current ..year. The state
ment in fact, covers pnly four days of
the stock exchange. week;, as Friday and
Saturday were observea «/s holidays. Tha
known movements of : money co-inoida
rather closely with the' totals of aver
ages announced Saturday, 'specie having
expanded $1,148,400, while legals decreas
ed $260,100. This, accompanied by a de
crease of over two millions in deposits,
resulted iii a gain of $1,694,225 in surplus
reserve, bringing" that item, up to $14,54(5,
--675. The falling off in deposits and in
loans mark the first decreases {hat have
been noted this year, and are -d*u& prob
ably to liquidation that has been char
acteristic of. stock market operations ■„ of
la to. It cannot be assumed, however,
that the statement will continue to show
only unimportant fluctuations for pend
ing- deals of magnitude may exert a de
cided influence in the near future. Th«i
position of the banks, | in view of what
has occurred lately, can only be describ
ed as strong. -The Season .of heavy remit
tances from the Interior, if past experi
ence is a safe guide, is over for thy
present.- The early spring months are
usually marked by a decided decrease in
the cash resources of the banks. But
for all that the immediate future based
on normal conditions does not indicate
higher money rates. Of course the
banks are put to the strain of financing
heavy trust plans, predictions as" to
money rates must be regarded as theo
retic, but the success of pending schemes
•will be assisted by a not over-firm mar
ket, and to that extent, at least, it is
safe. to say. no stringency is possible
