The New Yoik Financier says: "The statement of the Associated Bank of New York city for the we?k ending Nov. SO is nothing mote or less than a belated reI'ort of the business oT the previous wek The changes are due partly to the gold ex-1-ort movement of the earlkr part of the c urrent week, but - yhey include also the later shipments of the preceding week. According to the wtatemcnt the banks Io.it in cah during the w?k J2.077.300, of which Jl.341.2',) was in legal tender anl 133.1j0 la specie. There was a heavy excels of interior receipt at this point during the aroe period, so that the decrease in cash more nearly represents the actual condition cf the banks. Although the statement cannot be accepted as accurate in showing the real standing of the banks at the close" f the week. The contraction in loans for the week was t2,S&J. due perhaps to liquidation uf the speculative account moro than for the mercantile soirees. Deposits liavtr been contracting rapidly, the loss since Sept. 14 having been no less than 9d.C0O.tfK). The banks, therefore, are in a letter position than wan the case earlier In the season nd ih. spasmodic advances in the money rate of late are justified in Hti far as they are controlled by this showin. In the months of April," May and June last thf deposits of the New York 1anks went from &:o.0o0.oi0 to .75.orK.txj and the reserve increased i IJS.OCO.WO. Whether a rapid advance at present fn the money market would start another such Influx is problematical. Cankers report that the South has been slow In remitting f late and the movement from there H remarkably Hehi.

The opening was very dull, but a siiarp cov.rlns movement started in the industrials arly. led by Suzar. That stock rce iVj; Tobacco, nearly 3: Chlcas Gar, over 2. and Leather preferred and Western Union. 1 rer cent. The railroad list was unfavorably affected by lower London prices jd foreign -selling in the New A" .irk market,. In the last hour the abatement of tho covering tmarid caused recessions generally, and the market closed active and irregular, with special pressure against the railroad list. Lake Shore ended per cent. tH lower. Ilubber preferred gained net 3ai and Lake Erie & Western preferred 1 lr cent. The other changes were fractional declines. The speculation for the week was not especially interesting. At the outset a fairly well ptzitalned rally in prices came in reHponse to an encouraging tone In foreign i vices, which than appeared to indicate? that the complications of the eastern question were lea acu.e. Europe, however. It turrts out. la still s:ruggmg wl:h its liquidation of fourh African mining stocks, and this is reflec "d. not only In the absence of demand In Europe for our railway security, tut also in spcr.i!lir .-ales of, good stock in order to protect trie depreciated .Kjfllrs. Foreign, exenanj 5 continues at the ,gold export point, but the shipments for tho week were oonsideraMv less than the exports cf the previous week, as the last temporally relieved the markets. Financiers and operators are looking forward anxiously to the report of the Secretary of t.iH Treasury and to the President's message, in so f.ir as they may bear on the .currency situation. Currency reformers are Unusually active at preeit and Impress upon the financial community the reason gold continues to go out is because our cur rency is diluted with the depreciated silver and flat paper. They forget that France, which has. within the las; twenty years, Hccumulated ;he larjeest stock of gold the world has ewr seen, contains in Its currency u vas: volume of thi so-calied depreciated s.lver and fiat paper. Why Is it inert that France' accumulated gold while the United States Is sleadilv losing It? The .swr would seem to lie h the difference, between the economic policies of the two countries. The unfavorade foreign news late l.i the week, together with a disappointlrrg rtport of earnings by Burlington Quincy fur October, hait a depressing lniluenee on railroad stocks. The Industrials, however, monopolized the chief attention as more susceptible to the manipulation of the traders, "lho eld arguments were employed against tne. usual leaders in this group with varying degrees of Fuccess. Chi;t?o fJaj was temporarily oversold in the l-t week by speculation on the news of the loitiie move against the consolidation plan by the Attorney-general of New York State. The news, for ami against the other members of this group dos not need recapitulation. At the finish the railroad list still retained part of the midweek gains, while, with the exception of Sugar, which shows a r.et gain of 2. and Rubber, preferred, of 14 per cent., tr.e leading industrials closed lower than u. week ago. The more Important advances were in Michigan Central, 3: Denver, preferred. 2H; Sugar, 214: Rubber, preferred, li; Atchison, preferred, when ls;utd. 1: Illo Grande Western, preferred, l'j. and Tennessee Coal and Northern Paciri preferred, ll4 The more noteworthy lecline were in Laclede Gas, preferred. 4a; Hocking Valley. 27i; Leather, preferred, 25i, and Americau Tobacco and Edison Electric Illuminating, m per cent. The aggregate ales were 9oC.3 shares. Saturday's railway bond niarket was only moderately active. The transactions mounted to J763.u0. There were few 1m7 "r:nt changes.' Mobile & Ohio general fours and Oregon short-line Union consols rose 4 per cent. The declines consisted of slight fractions.

"The stock market begin? to more settled tone," say Henry fxhlhlt a Clews, of New York. "Bad news has been pretty thoroughly discounted- For nearly three months the market has ben under the Influence of currency agitation, the Kaffir craze, European political difficulties and. distrust of the industrials. During this period a majority of the active railroad shares have declined 10 or more points. Liquidation has been persistent and complete, but no weak spots have developed in consequence, and none are expected. A great many of the stocks lately offered on this market have come from timid holders or exhausted margins and have fallen Into strong hands, so that conditions favor a decided change when the leaders of speculation are rendy for a shift of position. When tn;s will come we are not prepared to predict, but it is mifficlent to know that Influen??s which caused the decline are changing for the better, and that prices ere long must reflect these changes. As for currency reform, while the two political parties may dispute as to Its detail; both are alive as to its necessity, as well as to the other fact that the country is in earnest on the question, and will hold that party responsible at the next election which fails to do Its duty. Thsilvtr question Is practically a dead Issue, and the possible embarrassment of the treasury can be nothing more than a temporary affair, eaelly tided over bv gome exP?dien; until Congress acts. The Kaffir craze has had a wholesome check. The losses were? severe, but they have not been of the Character, either !n London. Paris or Berlin, to affect the general financial or tusines situation. The disease has been of a local and not general nature. The most Important factors affectine railroad securities are the Improved condition and prospec of business In the United States. Tratle is always quiet at the end of the year, and the present setback Is merely temporary. When the corn crop begins to move general buslnesj will revive, and the railroads will unquestionably be taxed to their utmost to carry both Kraln and general merchandise. Just now some of the grangers are showing remarkable earnings, because of the heavy wheat, ore and lumber tonnage.. Latfr on this activitj- will extend to other roads, especially to corn carriers, and we may expect much larger gains than those now current. "There are things looming: up In the financial horizon which suggest at least the possibility of a revival of speculation with the opening . of the new year. 'Coming events cast their shadows before;' and some shrewd observers think they can already trace the outlines of such a shadow. Strang? to say, these seeming suggestions of 'good times coming ate traced in the very movement that has lately created so much apprehension on the bourses of Europe anl to a lesa extent In this city. There Is a mystery of strength in the Kaffir speculation that deserves attention. The shares, have not fallen at either Lon don or Paris nearly so much as had been expected; and there has now come a sharpness of reaction In them that excites surprise. The scrutiny to which distrust has subjected them has publicly developed the fact that while many of the enterprises were worthless, and more were overcapitalized or uncertain as to their results, yet the great speculation, taken as a whole means that sources of gold have been discovered in Africa exceeding all previous findings In history. In other parts of the world also important deposits of the yellow metal have been unearthed; and In Colorado a gold-mining excitement, has arisen which seems to Imply really valuable'dlscoverles. All this Is Important, not so much for what it is in Itself as a branch in speculation as for what It implies. It means that the world Is to see forthwith a very Important increase In its supply of gold. No less an authority than the note! French economist, Faul Leroy-Beaulleu. states In The Forum that In two or three years the annual new supply of gold will amount to from $200,000,COO to $340,000,000. and that this output will continue for twenty-five to thirty years, and possibly for fifty years. Comparing this estimate with that of other authorities it would seem to be a very moderate one, and may possibly be materially surpassed by the event. This prospect, so conspicuously brought before public attention by the Kaffir excitement. Is beginning to receive practical attention In speculative circles in Europe. It Is argued that it foreshadows a virtual inf.atlon of the cardinal money of the. world; that the Increase of gold will Induce an Increase In the amount cf paper.money based upon It: and that the world Is thus closely verging upon an inflation of its stock of currency. This, It is reasoned, means continued low rates of Interest, abundance of money, an advance in the prices of all products, and from that an Increase of production. These conditions, it is further Inferred, must lead to a universal revival of trade, to the creation of new enterprises and to a reversal of the depressed s;ate of affairs that came with the Barings failure. "It cannot be denied that there Is more than mere plausibility in these foreshadowlngs. The present circumstances have In them much the same elements of revival as have attended some of the most remarkable developments of enterprise and speculation. After five years of comparatively profitless: business, all classes are eager to participate in movements that portend recovery and anxious to take ventures that promise compensation for past losses: and there is evidence enough that these Ave years of economy have yielded a surplus that awaits Investment. Moreover, the political feeling In Europe is assuming h much more hopeful tone. Not only Is there no longer any danger of a bad situation arislnj? out of Turkish affairs, but that test of the underlying attitude of the powers on certain explosive questions incident to events in China and Turkey has developed evidences of a disposition towards pacific policies which are calculated to allay the distrust that for years has hung over the money centers of the world. The foregoing factors are cited as at present occupying attention in the higher circles of finance across the Atlantic, and It Is not difficult to foresee what kind of effect they may soon have on speculative operations of every kind. At New York there can scarcely be said to be as jet any 'distinct perception of the working of these influences. But. to close observers, there is a consciousness of a better tone, a sense of a more bracing atmosphere, and an Intuition of the approach of better financial weather. In view of these considerations, we counsel a more hopeful feeling, and regard the situation ns favorable to better prices for the time belnK." Sfftnrrft y Dank ClenrtnR.

LOCAL CHAI.X AMI PRODtC K. A Week of Slow Trnde, with Few Cbnnsres In Values. Trade la the week closing Nov. 30 was dull and disappointing, except in lines of goods required for the Thanksgiving trade. Still the wholesale men begin December very hopeful of brisk business, especially nhould the weather take on a more winterlike character. In prices, changes during

the last week were few. The fact is. says one of the wholesale merchants, prices on most lines of goods are at the bottom figures. He then named several lines of goods, where price are now lower than ever before known. The hide, leather and iron markets are all easier and prices weak in tone. The provision market ai.o carries an easy tone. Poultry, eggs and butter are steady and firm at th? quotations given which, it will be policed, are at a low range, as compared wltti the corresponding period last year. Everything In the fruit anl vegetable line, unless a choice article, rules weak. In apples, a good deal of inferior stock is on the market. Some of the finest Irish and sweet potatoes are offered on this me.rket at the lowest prices ever known. Lemons are plenty but oranges are scarce, only Jamaica being offered. It was a quiet wfek with the dry goods houses, with no changes in values. The wholesale grocers had a fair trade, as did the wholesale conftctioners. The local grain market was dull and featureless all week, prices varying but little, the advance of. one day being followed by a decline tho next.

The new stock fire Insurance company organizing In Philadelphia,, with $100,000 capital and $25,000 surplus,- Is to be the Philadelphia Mercantile Fire.Robert W. Evans, a well-known brewer of Hudson, N. T.. has Just taken out $100,0CO insurance in. the Mutual Life of New York. Mr. Evans is thirty years of age. On the week ending Nov. 16 the Mutual Life Insurance Company, of New York, had paid, since organization, to Its policy holders in death claims $163,930,124, and In endowments S36.416.CS4. Insurance Commissioner Merrill, of Massachusetts, has taken steps to have the affairs of ten weak fraternal societies of that State wound up, In accordance with the empowering act o-f this year. The Wisconsin Insurance Commissioner has refused admission to that State to the Assurance Lloyds, of New York,-, on the ground that It hasj not compiled) with the requirements of the insurance laws of Wisconsin. The business of the Mercantile Mutual, of Philadelphia, is being reinsured, mostly in the New Jersey State Fire Association, and the name of the Mercantile Mutual is to be changed to the Iron and Steel Manufacturers' Mutual..,,' - The New York Insurance Department haa refused a corporation certificate to the New York Manufacturers' Mutual Fire Insurance Corporation of Queens County, based on the report of department examiners that the capital stock notes were not made in accordance with law. The report of the examination of the Mutual Fire Insurance Company, of New York, by the Ohio Insurance Department has been made public by Superintendent Hahn. The report shows assets of $1,008,732.35, including paid capital stock of $223,657.22 and net surplus of $339,823.89 The report is favorable to the company. The loss by tho big fire in the manufacturing district of Canal street. Chicago, a few days ago, and by which the lives of four hundred female operatives were Imperiled, foots up about $1.00,000, on which the Insurance Is $620,000. No water could be thrown above the fifth floor of the. eight stories of the Excelsior Building, the principal structure destroyed. The stockholders of the People's Ufe Insurance Companv. of New York, recently voted unanimously to abandon its purpose to start In business. The company received its certificates of incorporation in August last; but its proposed plan of Insurance was severely criticised and finally abandoned. Subsequent efforts to agree upon some form of ordinary life policy met with no success. The census of 1800 shows that the United States contains 4,563,000 farmers, the aggregate value of whose farms, cattle and implements summed up $15,982,000,000, giving to each an average fortune of $i,50?. The total number of policies in force in the thirty-two level premium companies reporting to the New ork Insurance Department is 1,780,307, and it is safe to say that not more than one-tenth of these ""olicles are on the lives of farmers. Superintendent Waddill, of the Missouri' Insurance Department, will not renew the certificates of Prussian insurance companies to do business In that State next February. A New Haven dispatch say that Insurance Commissioner Betts, of (Connecticut, will not act In the direction of retaliation against Prussian insurance companies, and will only require them to conform to the State laws bearing upon all foreign companies doing business in the State. Gen. B. F. Tracy, president, and Charles S. Fairchild. treasurer, of the United States Casualty Company, have each over his signature denied that he has resigned from the company, or has any thought of taking such a step. The communication aads that agents of rival companies started the story that these gentlemen are not now connected with the big casualty company, whose success since its recent reorganization, Messrs. Tracy and Fairchild declare, has been beyond their expectations. The Wisconsin Llfo Insurance Agents' Association has adopted resolutions approving of the anti-rebate movement of the life insurance companies, and also the following: "That this association is of the opinion that, in order to effectually stop rebating, all life Insurance companies should make it a condition In all applications for and policies of insurance that the premium, as set forth In the policy contract, should be paid in full, and that the failure to do so by the assured would make the policy contract null and void." General Collls. who has been appointed Commissioner of Public Works by Mayor Strong, of New York, In place of William Brookfield, resigned, to take effect Dec. 1. hn.9 long been one of the legal staff of the Equitable Life Assurance Society. He was born In Ireland, settled in Philadelphia with his father when he was twelve years old, and came ta New York twelve years ago. After young Collls arrived on these shores his mother and his eight brothers and sisters sailed for this country in the City of Chicago, and all perished by the foundering of that vessel In mldocean. The trial rt Louis Gordon, accused, of having hired East Side firebugs to burn his shirt factory at No. 21 Walker street. New York, on July 24. 18M. began in the Court of General Sessions there on Monday. The developments promise to be of the most sensational character. After the fire Gordon transferred $33.0ti0 of insurance policies to the dry-Roods houso of H. B. Claflin & Co.. in payment of a debt to that firm. Two members of the same firebug gang, Adolph Hirschkopf and Meyer Dietchek. were committed to th Tombs without bail on the same day Gordon was arraigned on a charge of arson and murder. At a meeting of the associated cycling clubs of Chicago a committee on Insurance reported that it has received a proposlt'on from a life insurance company to the effect that. If the association would turn in u list of members from whom 1,500 policies of $1,000 each could be secured by the company, the latter would build the association a flfteen-thousar.d-dollar clubhouse, or a bicycle track with clubhouse to cost $13,000 or pay Into the association's treasury $10 for each life insurance policy; the last proposition to also hold good on any number of policies secured, from one up to 1.500. The name of the company was not reported.

WHEAT CLOSED FIRM

AM) LITTLE CHANGED IX THICK AT CHICAGO SATl'RDAV, Fluctuations Were Innsnally arroir Oat Lower on Fairly Heavy Liquidation Pork Easy. CHICAGO. Nov. 30. Wheat closed firm today without change in price of the May delivery, but l-16c lower for December. Near the close it was revealed that orders for 400.OC0 bushels of No. 2 red winter were received to-day, but owing to an advance in the premium demanded by the holders, only 176,000 bu were disposed of in round lots, 26,000 bu of it at 4c premium over December and 150,000 bu at a higher rate. No. 3 hard spring wheat sold in the sample market at 574c to go to store, when regular No. 2 December was 564c The trade was light throughout and the range in price for the day was only 4c per bu. At the close December showed, compared with last quotations of the day before, a decline of l-16c, and May was unchanged. The latest in the pit was 564c bid for December and eoc bid for May. . The anxiety to sell December corn resulted in the delivery rate being reduced to 3-16c discount under January, as compared with 4c premium on the day. It had the effect of creating a slightly easier feeling In May, there being sellers of it at 29c at the close, aa compared with buyers at that price on the day before. There was considerable liquidation in December oats as well as May. The latter opened at 20i'204c. sold at 204c, declined to 204c and closed V& Vic lower, with the low price bid. December ranged from 174c to 174c. closing at the latter price, a decline of V4c Provisions averaged easier on account of the liquidation of December pork. The futures in pork were not much affected by the weakness" in December until near the close, when they dropped below yesterday's closing prices to the extent of 5c for January and 24c for May. Lard and ribs for January and Maj' are substantially as on the day before. Estimated receipts of hogs at Chicago for next week are 225,000. Receipts for the corresponding - week last year 218,966.
