The New York Financier fays thi.n week: The statement of the associated banks for the week ending Nov. 'j In no wl?c reflects the actual conditions prevailing during the fix days covered, but it does show the narrowness of the present market for funds. According to the tabulated statement the bank gained I1.1S4.chx) in cash. The fact of the matter is that the bankd lost enough money through the interior movement to Jiavc partially off net this Increase. Not lnce May 13 have the total loans been as Jow as reported last week, and the contraction from the high-water mark of J.'.OS.Vtt, reached Sept. 14. Is about JJ7.0".ow.

The stock market Saturday opened active and weak, with sharp recessions in some of the shares having an international range. The speculative temper scon changed and material gains were noted In leatn-r preferred. Totacco. Chicago Gas, Sugar and the grangers. In the final hour of business unfavorable advices were received from 1 Kurope as to the political and financial idtuatlon. Rumors were circulated of arrangements to ship vral million of gold to Kurope by next Wednesday's steamers. These reports could not be continued, but found ready acceptance, owing to the strength of the sterling exchange market. -The dealings became irrcsuiar, with the industrials inclined to heaviness, while the railway, li: was fairly well supported. The closing wa Irregular, with the Important changes conitned, as a rule, to the inactive stocks. The distinct feature of the week's speculation has been a continuous liquidation in the International railway stocks by European holders and at steadily declining prices, uhe movement ha been almost entirely attributable to developments abroad, as many of the roads whose stocks have been affected show handsome Increases la their current earnings. While the news from abroad Is of a vague and disturbing character and Is reflected In lower quotations at the foreign financial centers, conditions at home are, in the main, satisfactory. The Increased money holdings of the New Ycrk banks Indicates that' as : the crop-moving reason is practically over, currency is returning to this city. The decrease In loans In Saturday's bank statement simply reflects the liquidation in the stock market. Jn railroad earnings notable Increases have been exhibited by the trunk line, central and Northwestern properties, an Important Instance being the gain by the St. Paul of over A0tO tor October. Oa the other hand material decreases continue to be sftowrr in tho Southwestern lines, duo very largely to the reduced cotton traffic Toward the latter part of the week there w-ere Indications that conservative capital Is parting with their stocks on or near the crest of the recent rise. The heaviest losses for the week are In the foreign arbitrage! stocks. Canadian Pacific scored an exceptional net decline of t8 per cent. Louisville & Nashville lost 5U and Denver preferred 5; Tennessee col dropped 4 net; Cleveland, Lorain & Western preferred, 44; Leather prcferreJ, 4y.; Ana Arbor pre- - lerred, when Issued, 4, and New Jersev Central. S4 per cent. Many- other net losses occurred. At the extreme low points Leather preferred was down 64; Tennessee Coal. 57. ami Tobacco. 5 per cent. The aggregate sales were 1,363,800 shares. The boni market Saturday was moderately active anl depressed. The agrgreFate sales were $731,000. Ohio & Mississippi seconds attracted attention by a jump of 4 per cent. The bond market was de pressed during the week on an increased volume of trading. Atchison Issues were the features and sustained sharp declines on liquidation by foreign holders. The movement was In part iet down to the disturbed financial and political conditions abroad and also to reports that the prospects of the reunion with the system of the Colorado Midland and Atlantic & Pacific lines were unpromising. Uncertainty as to the make-up of the board of directors of the Atchison was another alleged cause of the selling. Pronounced weakness was displayed in other speculative Issues, particularly Ft. Louis Southwestern firsts, which are 4 per cent., and seconds. 4 per rent, lower. Tho dealings aggregated to.Government bonds were somewhat more active, the dealings amounting to $107,000 on a slightly higher range. Mate issues were dull and without changes of importance The transactions comprised $10,000 Tennessee settlement threes, a like amount of Virginia deferred sixes stamped and $7 000 Louisiana consol fours.

"hjivd been the unsettled state t

European politics, the fears of a collapse In the Kaffir speculation, and the approach of sterling exchange to the gold shipping point. The latter factor had probably more influence than all the others combined. London was a steady seller of our stocks, and as wheat and cotton do not go outwards with sufficient freedom to pay for our large imports, the supply of bills was exhausted, and we find ourselves on the verse of. gold exports instead of the Imports usual at this season. This situation was taken full advantage of by professional tracers, who had little difficulty in forcing liquidation by weak or tired holders, particularly as the big operators seemed willing for a decline. Towards the close of the week there was a rally based upon short covering, and a more hopeful feeling developed. It would seem as if all the unfavorable conditions had been fairly discounted by the decline of the last few weeks, but enough uncertainty still remains to demand caution. "The outcome of the elections can hardly be said to have had much immediate elTect upon the investment markets, but it Is not, therefore, to be regarded as devoid of importance. It means much as to the future of parties. It strengthens very decidedly the proj-pect of a new prolongation of Republican ascendancy in national affairs; and with that goes a probability that financial and currency questions will be dealt with on II111 s different from those laid down by the opposite party. There Is no reason to suppose that the Republicans are any les desirous to remove the daneers connected with our currency system than the Democrats have shown themselves to be. Rut their methods of treatment are likely to follow ideals which so far have been hinted at rather than openly considered. A party so long in power may be expected to have some repect for the Institutions which it has established; and for that reason, there Is a prima facie probability that the new Congress will hesitate to hastily sacrifice the greenhack (United States notes) and will be In no hurry to extend privileges to the State banks in conflict with the interests and prestige of the national banks. Indications are not lacking that these two prepossessions may go far toward shaping Republican policy on financial and monetary measures. On the question of retiring the legal tender notes, a second thought Is beginning to appear. 'The argument is put forth in quarters which will command attention that the troubles of the treasury are not so much due to the greenback itself and for what it intrinsically is. as to the fact that there has been superadded to that note $130,010.000 . of Sherman notes and J4t. 000,0 0 of slUer certificates, all of which are, in the "final Issue, payable In gold. It H reasoned that the official gold reserve of $100,000,000 Is thus made to bear a burden of $.i3.0ii'.00u of obligations Instead of the JJt5.000.000 originally contemplated; which. It is claimed, is quite sufficient to throw dscredit upon our whole paper currency. To remedy this vast excess of paper over the gold reserve it is proposed that first the entire issue of Sherman notes shall he retired through an issue of lowInterest bonds, which shall afford a basis for Increased Issues of National bank notes upon conditions more liberal than those now existing: and that, at a later stage, at least a good portion of the silver certificates shall be withdrawn, and the silver hell against them, as well as that held against the Shermans, shall be disposed or. To provide against the contraction that would result from these withdrawals of currency It is suggested that the conditions of Issuing bank notes shall be so far eased as to admit of a corresponding increase in the volume of that currrency. In this way the greenbacks would be retained in use and. the privilege of issuing bank paper wnuld be reserved to the national banks. "At present It seems likely that a policy of this character may be favored by the party into whose hands political control Is falling. It is not to be questioned that such a course would present practicalities and attractions that would win for It considerable support. Under such conditions the greenbacks would be greatly strengthened anl would be rea3Uy accepted for an important class of uses for which gold would otherwise be required. Certain it Is that they have fallen Into discredit only since the other forms of circulating notes have been put out in sucli Immense volume, and the withdrawal of the latter could only give confidence to the retained original legal tender. A chanj?e of this character would ts less revolutionary than the one favored by the present administration, which would not only withdraw all the present forms of paper legal tender, but would substitute a new basis of guarantee for bank notes, and make those notes Issuable by State banks as well as national. The significance to th market of these foreshadowlngs Is that they seem to suggest a workinc way out of the treasury embarrassments, which may be broached for public consideration In the new Congress. "The position of the Kaffir troubles In Paris seems to have been somewhat eased and there Is less apprehension of a violent crash of that speculation than there has been. The European political situation now presents the most gloomy aspect of the two. Wall street is beginning to breathe more freely in consequence and as there has been a continuous letting down of prices here for some weeks past the tone may soon be expected to become more hopeful, with more disposition to buy. More courageous buying than selling Is what is really needed before the market Is likely to turn pronouncedly upwards; meanwhile we continue to recommend conservative trading only." Ileary Decline Abroad. LOXDOX. Nov. lO.-Tho critical position of the different European, bourses during the week has compelled discount brokers, as a measure of precaution, to advance money rates slightly. The week on the Stock Exchange proved so disastrous that the settlement commencing to-morrow is anticipated with the greatest anxiety. It is almost certain that some failures will then be announced. The fall of London consols and other gilt-edged securities has been all the greater because they have already been forced abnormally high.. The decline in prices In almost all of the speculative markets ranges from 2 to 5 per cent. Dealings in mining securities are very limited. A comparison with the prices of a month ago shows how serious the fall has been, even In the best reputed mining stocks. In the foreign markets the greatest collapse has been in Turkish and Italian securities. Even If no further troubles develop It is Improbable that any noticeable recovery will take place this year. The week's declines are as follows: Louisville & Nashville, 6U; Denver preferred, 5; Reading firsts, Atchison first mortgage and Wabash sixes. 3U; Atchison. Erie, Lake Shore anl Pennsylvania, 2Y2'.

Trade Disappointing, lmt Retter Thlna Looked For. It Is not misstating things when it is said that trade In the first week of November was disappointing, but the coming of rain and the indications that cooler weather Is near has given a very hopeful feeling to merchants that the business of the remaining three weeks of the month will be more satisfactory. One of the noticeable things in trade circles Is the firmer tone to prices In most lines, and Indications that Jn goods which have been selling very low the bottom price has been touched. The past week but few changes have been made. In groceries, dfy goods, Iron, hardware, flour, hay prices at the close of the week rule the same as on Monday. Poultry, hides and provisions are a shade lower than one week ago. Fruits and vegetables have taken on a decidedly firmer tone, and. while no material advance has yet been established, Xeople will be paying more for apples and potatoes one month from now than the present prices. The local gralo market the entire week hs been active, with but little change In prices. The week closed with track bids as follows: Wheat No. 2 red, 63iAc; No. 3 red, 59', 614c; wagon wheat, 6Jc.

WEAK GKAIN MARKET

RAIN, SNOW AND IIKAVV RECEIPTS SENT WHEAT DOWX A FIIACTIOX. Corn nnd Oat Dull, nnd Provisions Went Off on Prospective Large Arrival Till Week. CHICAGO, Nov. 9. Continued rain and snow, anl the fact that there Is no apparent abatement in Northwest points, caused December to fall off this morning soon after the opening, which was at .yesterday's closing price, SSVjC It soon dropped to SSthC, but encouraging cables and tome other good news caused a reaction to 5S-;c. Consideration of statistical reports and light ele-aranees from Atlantic ports then had a bad effect, and the price fell off a fraction, and, after various changes, closed at 58'U5S:&c. The estimated result of the week's domestic movement of wheat is that the visible supply will on Monday show an increase of from 2.5G0.000 to 3,010,000 bu. Minneapolis and Duluth are expected to give an Increase of 1.500,000 bu and New York, an increase of about 230,000 bushels. In corn the prospect of clearing weather, with perhaps the more important matter that the November shorts nearly all covered yesterday, caused a decline of Aa In that .future. December and May are within 1-16C of the previous day's closing value. Trade was small. Oats continued very dull, sales were small and changes in prices light. May opened and closed at yesterday's price 20Tic . In provisions, prospective large receipts of hogs next week caused a veak feeling from the beginning, and a decline of 12I4C in pork was finally established for the day. Lard and ribs did not participate to the full extent in the weakness, the decline In each being only .C2c.

For the season so far the supply of Western rangers foots up 330,000 head, or 48,000 more than arrived In like period last year. The3e cattle have weakened along with natives, and choice lots are 50c$l lower than in August, when top prices were paid. This week's run of Texan? amounts to 10,000 head, compared with 9,000 head last week. Prices for Texans have not changed much, and are about the same as a year ago. The receipts of hogs were heavy to-day, 30.000 head, nd this, with 6.000 left over, made a big supply for Saturday. . The packing demand is good, however, and trade was active at Friday's decline. Sales were at a range of $3.3073.70 for common to choice droves of heavv, and at $3.35 3.65 for light weights, with $3.503.6O for packing, and at $3.6g3.65 for shipping lots.
