At New York, Saturday, money on call uss easy throughout at 1 per cent. Frlme mercantile paper, 2ft54c. Sterllng exchange was dull, with actual business In bankers' bills at JI.S5&4.854 for demand, and J1.85574.S34 for sixty days; j posted rates. J1.844ft4.864 and Ji.S7JJ4.874: commercial bills, $4.844ft 4.814. Silver certificates. foc bid. Ear silver, C34c Mexican dollars, 524c. At London bar silver was 29 7-lSd per ounce. The weekly bank statement shows the following changes: Reserve, increase $20,975 Loans, increase 2,842.300 specie. Increase 574,100 Legal tenders, decrease 229,700 Deposits, increase 1.213,700 Circulation, increase 369,700 The banks now hold $30,932,723 in excess of the requirements of the 23 . per cent, rule. Sales of stocks Saturday were only 49,936 shares. Including: Sugar, 5,800; Burlington. 5.300; Chicago Gas, 6,300; Distillers, 2,100; General Electric. 2,000; Louisville & Nashville. 2,000; Reading. 4,5oO; Rock Island, 10,Gw; St Paul, 11,0)0. During the two hours of business on the Stock Exchange the market was decidedly strong In tone, and the shares traded In, with but few unimportant exceptions, showed an Improvement ranging from 4 to 2 per cent. In the late dealings speculation was most buoyant and the market was firm, vrtth the prices at or near the highest point of the day. The volume of business was light and chiefly in grangers, Chicago Gas, Sugar and Reading. St. Paul led in the transactions, the buying in the stock being remarkably good and a steady advance of 1 per cent., to 66, being1 recorded, the closing being only V below the highest. In view of the break Friday in Rock Island there was much interest evidenced as to the course of the stock, and perhaps some surprise at the early advance of T per cent. The bears, however, were not disposed to permit the ring to go unchallenged, and they made adrive, as a result of which the entire improvement was lost. The reaction, however, brought out fresh buying orders, under the Influence of which a gain of 8 was made, the la.st being the best price of the day. Rurlington appreciated steadily from opening to close, much of the buying being for the Western account, and an advance of T per cent; was established. Northwest, too. on small trading, showed In the improvement to the extent of ier cent. A purchasing movement In Chicago Gas, said to be promoted by a newly-formed bull pool, sent the stock up U4 per cent., of which was lost in the final tracing on realization of profits. Su;ar was not in active demand, but at the same time there was no anxiety to sell the stock, and the fluctuations were confined within a limit of 4 per cent, and a net gain of per cent, was effected. During the week the share speculation has been Irregular and unsettled, and as a result of the trading prices mainly show a decline compared with the final sales of Saturday a week ago. With comparatively few exceptions, however, the losses are only fractional, and In some cases advances have bea established, notably In Chicago Gas, P?4; Toledo & Ann Arbor, 2; Chicago & Eas-tern Illinois, 3, and Toledo & Oalo Central, 6 per cent In the active list Sugar recorded the heaviest decline, the common stock showing a loss of 6 per cent, and the preferred U: Rock Island is the chl?f sufferer of the grange group, closing at a decline of 24- Burlington is down 4 and Northwest while St. Paul shows a gain of 8. Distilling, which broke 4 per cent, to 9 on Tuesday (this being the lowest point ever touched by the shares), rallied in the subsequent dealings and now shows only a decline of 294. The other important losses are: American District Telegraph. 4. and St. Paul & Duluth. 6. The bond market was strong 'and fairly active and prices generally moved upward, Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern firsts advancing 2 per cent. Louisville & New Albany consols rose 1 per cent. On the week the changes are nearly all in the direction of higher figures, the only notable exception being Brooklyn Elevated seconds, which are down 4 per cent. The chief advances are: Minnesota & St. Louis firsts, Southwestern Extension. D per cent.; Louisville & Nashville, 4; Toledo. Peoria & Western firsts. 3$; New England sixes, 3V4; Alton & Terre Haute dividend bonds, Reading third convertibles and St. Paul consols, 2V3. The following tabl. prepared by James E. Berry, Room 16.

Henry Clews, of New York, in his financial circular, says of operations in Wall street last week: "During the past week Wall street has been devoid of any feature of special Interest. The volume of transactions has been moderate, and price have been somewhat Irregular, in sympathy with erratic movements in the industrial stocks. Railroad securities, however, hold their own we 11. The large and controlling holders have confidence in a steady and material Improvement in earnings as the recovery in trade develops and when the crop comes to the seaboard in increasing volume. The wheat crop is regarded as bringing a more valuable amount of freight to the railroads than any other cereal; and as the wheat surplus available for export this year will probably exceed that of any previous period, large expectations are based Lion this vmrce of through t rattle. The corn crop is io largely consumed at the point of production, or " after comparatively short hauls, that the decrease in this year's product of that staple is of less importance as affecting the railroads than might at first sight appear. The country's exports or wheat and flour is valued at J170.0OO.0lM. while that of Indian corn amounts to only ?25o,e); a' decrease of 23 per cent., therefore, in this latter crop mut be a comparatively small matter to the traffic of the roads dependent on, their cereal export trade; and any loss on that account is likely to be fully set off by the gain In the export movement of wheat. The traffic, however, that brings the most profitable results is the carriage of manufactured articles and of passengers; and what the improvement in those classes of traffic is likely to be riiay be inferred from the current active revival in every branch of trade and the general starting up of industrial production. Intelligent observers see In all this a sure coming expansion of the earning of the railroads, and they art consequently unwilling to part

with any securities of that class. It Feems reasonable to expect that, with such a revlvai in near prospect, a buying movement will soon develop with a view to profiting by the higher prices which these considerations foreshadow. "At the moment two influences are holding thre important bull factors In check; one being the till pending reconstruction of a very Iare amount of railroad investment, which keeps constantly before the public eye the weak points in this branch of finance; and the other being the peculiar Iosition of the "trust" organizations. An important proportion of the "combines" are oithT in serious difficulty cr suspected as to their financial soundness, and others seem to b on the verge of disruption from internal dissatisfaction. The truth is that the do.ibtful bais uion which many of these concerns rest is becoming apparent to discerning eyes, and they are destined to run the gantlet of a public distrust which probably they are not prepared to withstand. The market is now largely occupied with operations which are calculated to bring thi3 class of securities to a truer correspondence to their intrinsic merits. Those, therefore, who prefer safety to indefinite risks would be prudent in exchanging their Industrials for railroad stock3 or bond 3. "London begins to show more Interest In American pecurities. As our change of tariff policy is a movement i.n the direction of British ideas, it Is natural enough that the reduction of customs duties should predispose Englishmen to our investments. The first effects of thi3 change are ap

parent less In any open speculative demand than In a stream ot lnqvuntrn from London to Wall street investment houses, evidently In contemplation of careful and solid invert menta. This tendency may be expected to grow as business here revives and railroad earnings improve; and later it may easily become the incentive to more active dealings In "Americans" on the London and continental exchanges. Indeed, there is already a visible improvement in the demand from London speculative houses, although it Is cautious and tentative and follows closely the fluctuations In the home market. The probability is that, when our own people "set the pace" by more active buying, lon Jon will be found willing to follow us as far as we may choose to go. "It is difficult to see how England can well escape a liberal return to transatlantic Investments. The London rate of interest stubomly remains unprecedentedly low ani the Bank of England Is literally overflowing with idle gold; England's home Investments are relatively high and yield exceptionally low returns: neither in her colonies or elsewhere does she find new enterprises of a character to attract capital; in the outlying countries where she has so enormously and unwisely sunk her capital, such as Argentina and Brazil, the beginning? of a slow recovery may be apparent, but nothing is presented sufficiently meritorious to attract new outlays; Australia has disgusted the lenders whose hundreds of millions of capital have been sunk there and must expect to raise its future loans at home; In short, criticise our methods of finance, our democratic institutions and our legislative policies as they may. Englishmen can nowhere elre find Investments on the whole so desirable as those procurable at New York at about the present range ft prices. This is a fact so obvious, even to sinister observers, that It cannot fall to sooner or later have its effect on the market. In view of the foregoing considerations, I deem It unusually safe to recommend the buying of sound stocks upon the breaks in prices." Idle Capital In Eiisliuid. LONDON, Sept. 23. The New South Wales three-and-a-half-per-cent. loan of S32,0OO has been subscribed for to an amount five times as great as the required sum, so great is the pressure of unemployed capital. Tills success, It is expected, will encourage further colonial borrowing. During the week there was a small movement of gold to Germany, but this was regarded as unimportant. The price of silver relapsed on the cessation of orders, supposed to have been for the Indian mints. American railroad securities continued sluggish. The Board of Trade returns for September are expected to show a considerable expansion of business with America under the new tariff, but no great improvement at the Stock Exchange is likely while the railroad market is under the adverse influence of impending reorganization plans. Erie seconds and Reading firsts were down 1. The other changes were fractional, and mostly downward. Grand Trunk of Canada securities were firmer. Sntnrtlny's Ilnnk Clearing. The total bank clearings of all the clearing houses of the. United States for the week ending Saturday were JS97.070.336, against 5872.'J19.182 the previous week and $773,041,411 the corresponding week last vear.

Wholesale men say the trade of the wek closing Sept. 22 was the most satisfactory in many months, and steady prices prevailed in most lines. Sugars are weak, the decline of the week being c. Other groceries rule firm. There is some inquiry for canned goods, and fancy groceries are selling better than at any time in the last two years. The provision market is active: prices steady and firm. In the produce line trade has been good. Fruits and vegetables are selling- low, except Irish potatoes and really choice apples. The melon market is less glutted than for some weeks past, but prices are, weak, as the season is getting late. Poultry and eggs rule steady, and have gone without a change for many months. The dry-goods houses had an excellent week's trade, and prices carry a steadier tone, with the improvement in business. The local grain market was quite active yesterday, but prices broke.

CHEAPER THAN WHEAT

1 CASH COIt, FIRST TI3IE IX TWO MOXTHS, NOT THE LEADER. J ' I Wheat Went Off l-lic Saturday, While Corn Fell -c Provision Lower, Fork Delne: Iioiru HZc. CHICAGO, Sept. 22. Northwestern receipts were heavy to-day and speculators anticipated .a heavy increase in the visible supply. As a result wheat shows a loss of ic per bushel, while September corn dropped 2c and May lc of their previous values. Provisions are lower by 33c in pork, .172C In lard and .20c in ribs. For the first time since Aug. 6 No. 2 cash wheat is worth more money than No. 2 corn. Wheat opened quiet, but firm at a small fractional advance. The firmness was in consequence of the inspected receipts here turning out much less than ha i been estimated. The estimated receipts were ICO cars and the number actually inspected 108. The general condition of tthe speculative situation was Unchanged. The weakest feature of the day3 news was the heaviness of the Northwestern receipts, which at Minneapolis and Duluth amounted to 940 carloads, compared with only 630 on the corresponding day of the year before. The speculative business was loeil in character and rather" light . in .volume. Fearing the probability of a heavy increase in the visible the crowd was bearish and all 4he more Inclined to ' sell on account of the weakness of corn. December opened at 55!4c and sagged wearily to 5ic. which was the price when the ten-minute warning bell sounded its caution to prepare for the close. The desire to sell Increased and SIVsC was reached near the end, with Slltulc the closing price. Com opened firm, but did not long remain so. It gradually became weak, then weaker, and was weakest at the end. Stop orders were reached at every sC decline below 52c for May, and as the closing value was 52'4c there were numerous opportunities for the stop loss orders to come into play. The weakness was principally in consequence of the pressure to sell September, which, for the first time this season, -sold at a discount as compared with May, and for the first time in about two months -cash corn was cheaper than cash wheat. The receipts were 337 cars by rail and 20,400 bu by canal. September was worth 52?c near the cpening and 50"&c at the close, while May declined lc from the highest to the lowest price made to-day. Oats were active from beginning to end. Selling was still very urgent, mostly long stuff, and prices were again lowered. The corn market was also influential in helping the decline. The first symptoms of the decline were noticeable at the start, when brokers for Cudahy & Co. started to raid the market with heavy offerings. The general disposition was to close out, and the price of May declined from 34?ic, the opening price, to 34c, the lowest point, and at which price the market closed, a decline of e since ye-sterday. Boyden and Car-rington-Hannah were among the heaviest sellers. October ranged from 290 to ZS'c, closing 7c under at the latter price. Hog receipts being light and the grain markets rather firm at the opening, the first few transactions in the provision market showed some steadiness. That state of feeling was soon exchanged for on? of extreme weakness. Stop orders on the decline were reached in great pknty from the appearance of the oferings and the packers, led by brokers for John Cudahy, made it easy for stop loss orders to be reached. There was very little recovery at the close from the bottom prices, although a good deal of covering of shorts was in progress during the last flfte?n minutes of the session. Business was active during the greater part of the day. Freights slow at IV2C for wheat and l4c for corn to Buffalo, and a load of corn to Walkerville paid IVfec, Estimates for Monday: Wheat, 214 cars; corn, 5'j0 cars; oats, 260 cars; hogs, 20,000 head; hogs for the week, 100,000 head.

Sept. 22. CatCe receipts were estimated at 1.5o. making 61.221 for this week, against 94.171 last week and 68.478 a year ago. Of the week's offerings not far from one-third were taken by shippers. In a general way the market was not different from other Saturdays. There was a light supply, a light demand and a steady range of values. There were buyers at Ji.23 Si 6.50 for natives, Jl.50ft4.S3 for Westerns and Jl.50ft3.23 for Texans. Next week's receipts are expected to Fhow an increase on this total, but the market will stand a moderate Increase without weakening. Receipts of bogs were estimated at .000. making 97,470 for this werk. or about 13.000 less than for last week and 10.000 less than for the corresponding week last year. The situation was not a whit distasteful to the sellers than on tne preceding half-dozen days. Shippers, as well as local packers, were bearish, and while there were a few earlv sales of good hogs at about yesterday's closing prices, the general market was 10c lower and lifeless. A good many hogs' went to packers at J3.23ft5.35 and somt at lower figures during the week. Next week is likely to see a reaction. Sales of sheep were at fully as good prices as were paid yesterday, and there was also continued firming in lambs. The range of quotations for the former was SI 3.50, and lambs were salable at $24.20. Receipts were about 5.000. and for the week CO.ooo. or less than for last week and 6,000 less than a year ago.
