If the report for the week Just enJei reflects accurately the situation. The decrease for the five days ending . Jan. 4 reachel the unusual figure of J12,S3o,8G0, xnaklng a total shrinkage In loans for the past two weeks of ll,O.900. T.le total loans tiave also fallen thirty-flve millions nince the flrt of December and have shrunk fifty-seven millions within the nast four months. Part of the contraction for the current week has been due, perhaps, to the January dividend perloJ, which occasions a great deal of shifting of funds, but the total 13 surprising. fThe depo.-lt Item naturally shows a heavy Tailing off. the loss beln rearly un millions for the week. The Item of holdings, however, does not to have adJusted itself to existing ..-oniitions. Jt is Known that th receipts from lha interior tor the week exceeded trio outward movement by at least 3o.Goo.000." Tho treasury disbursements were also iieavy anl the logical conclusion would Toint to a large increase m cash by the Thanks.

After an Irregrular opening the stock market Saturday worked sharply downward, material losses being general. The manipulation In Tobacco was patent to every one as the price dropped C'4 per cent., to 79!z, " against an advance of that extent Friday. The dealings in the stock were quite heavy. Tho discouraging condition of the anthracite coal trade rendered the stocks of tho leading producing and carry companies vulnerable to attack and tho group clumped all round, New Jersey Central leading with a drop of 3"4 per cent. Furthermore the unsettled feeling abroad owing to a possible crisis growing out of the trouble in the Transvaal, and suggestions f continued delay in the announcement aind probable change in the method of disposing of the issue of government bonds, all had Influence In depressing prices. The final sales recorded "losses in the grangers, 3uisville & Nashville and other usually active stocks equal to Un! per cent. The volume of business was above the recent average. The share speculation of the week was Irregular with a downward trend to prices. The aggregate volume of sales was only about equal to the dealings of a single day In the late panic. At the outset on general anticipations of speedy announcement of the treasury relief measures, there was a fhnrp upward movement in which the grangers were conspicuous. As time progressed and nothing definite transpired on the subject of the bond issue, a less confident tone found reflection in sales of rtocks for both accounts, resulting in the 1-ss of the greater part of the previous r lvance. The depression was Increased by steady selling for Iondon account and by apprehension that the Transvaal Incident t.:iht be followed by a political crisis in i:irop. Other untoward and distracting innuences were activity on call money markit, a maximum figure of 5 per cent, beir.sf recorded, and strength In foreign exchange rates leading to the phipment of f 1.000.0) in gold, coincidental with the reports of large importing orders for the precious metal and local sales in It at iretiiums ranging betweent i'alH per cent. CO A LEU 3 ATTACKED. The anthracite coalers were sold on the unseasonable weather, the unsatisfactory general conditions affecting the trade, the anticipation of the early publication of poor annur.l reports anl the alleged probability of legal measures to restrain the directors of a certain company from declaring the nearly due dividend for the quarter. The confusion and excitement growing out of the controversy between the United States and Great llritain in relation to the VeneEutlan boundary, has, in common with other Important considerations, delayed the practical operation of the Keading reorganization scheme and the stook sold at 27H the lowest figure ever recorded. Tobacco' was ably manipulated by the inside pcol on verirjs rumors and its course was sharp'y erratic in efTVct. Outside dealers in it wire milked. Leather was alo conspicuous in the dealing, belni; affected by conflicting lumors respecting the impending dividend On th c!o?'.ns day of the week it was reX'orted. with scrne show of authority, that the most powerful antagonist of the United SMtes Leather Cirrpany had advanced prices of unlon-tanr.e I sole leather.

Henry Clews, In giving his personal views on tho financial question, says: Since the excitement connected with the Venezuela scare. Wall street has fallen Into a subdued mood. It has no longer the dally alarm of London and continental realizing on our market; those markets have apparently nothing more they want to sell, and seem quite willing to keep what they hold for future developments. This naturally produces a more settled feeling on the Stock Exchange; but it has not yet produced buying, partly because the holiday interruption of business Is In force and will continue until next week, when the drift of the market will be more apparent. At the moment, there is a good deal of discussion about the effect of the impending new loan, the majority opinion evidently being that It will prove to be a substantial "bull" factor. Nothing yet has been otllcially revealed as to the details of the loan. Unortlcial outgivings however make It certain that the subscribers will undertake to purchase two hundred millions of. the- fours of 1S75 should the government so require; but at the same time the amount to be taken at present will not exceed one hundred millions, and probably those will be taken up in installments extending over a few mojiths. The bonds will be payable "In coin;" and will be paid for in gold; which, at the reported price of 104, would transfer to the government 101 millions of gold. At first sight this operation, especially as it will be almost entirely confined to the home market, may seem calculated to produce a sharp stringency in the money market. That effect however would depend upon what the treasury might do to ward off such a result. The treasury Is certainly very vitally interested in using any power it possesses to avert stringency; and the power it has to do that l very considerable. The Secretary of the Treasury has authority to keep any amount of his cash balance on deposit with the banks, receiving United States bonds as collateral to a like amount. His present working balance would easily admit of his depositing seventy-five millions of legal tenders with the banks, which would prevent any injurious stringency, although it might permit a full 5 per cent, market rate of interest. Such a rate would be a positive gain under existing circumstances: for In so far as it exceeded the Enropean rate it would tend to keep foreign call balances here and might even bring gold to this side the Atlantic. Apart from this, the authorization by the clearing house of the issue of "loan certificates" would prevent any stringency injurious to the banks' customers; and, besides, we have now reached the season when money begins to flow back from the interior, and that retlux starts with sixteen millions surplus reserves in the banks. There thus seems to be no sufficient reason for fearing any stringency at all embarrassing to the stock market. As matters now look, there Is every prospt of the loan arrangements being consummated within the course o-f a few days. The banks not only of this city but of the country at large have become thoroughly aroused to the importance of making common cause with the treasury In elevating the status of the demand obligations of the government. They realize that, with weakness in the treasury, there cannot be real strength in the banks: and they therefore do not hesitate to make their gold stocks available for the gold requirements of the national government. This is a bona' fide exhibition of patriotic finance; and the spectacle will convey an edifying lesson to the foreign critics who have charged us with financial Incapacity and feebleness. It will show them that our financial prowess parallels the vastness of our domain, and that the patriotism of our financiers is equal to their duty as American citizens. The snectacle cf the country's banks offering to lend the treasury one-fourth of their capital to sustain its honor is one that will not fail of Us merlfd effect upon the respect jnd the confidence of Europe, and it must ultimately have a valuable bearing upon the transatlantic estimation of our securities. If any real apprehension has been felt about tho possibility of the Venezuela dispute resulting in war the President has rlone much toward removing that fear by his selection of members of te commission charged with Inqulrlne into the validity of Venezuela's claims. The hlsh character of those gentlemen for legal learning and knowledge of international law. as well as for their judicial Impartiality and honor, gives the best possible assurance that their report will accord with the facts and justice of the cas and that affords the bet possible assurance of an ultimate pacific settlement of this anxious question. The banks and the United States treasury are bound together Inseparably at the present time. United they stand, divided they fall. United States legal-tender notes are to the banks what blood is to the human body. If the blood becomes fouled the body Is sure to be inoculated with disease. So with the legal-tender notes if they are not kept in a sound condition the veins throughout the banking system Imbibe the virus attached to them. The banks and the government must pull together until they can safely pull apart, and that they cannot elo until we obtain gold enough in the? country to take the place of the legal tenders. This devoutly to h desired condition will In all probability come about in the course of a few years by the Increase of our precious metal production. In this country the hunt Is now for gold, and not for silver. The former is in fashion, the latter is not. This Is an age of Invention necessity inspires Inventive genius. Until recently mines with ore that did not produce several ounces of gold were unprofitable to work, but with the new machinery and appliances ore from which one quarter of an ounce of gold can be extracted is now remunerative. This is the principal reason fcr the increased output cf gold. It will surely bring about gold inflation, not unlike that caused by the discovery of gold in California in 1S4. Who are the rich men of to-day? Prominently among thfin are the Mil's. Floods. Maekay. Hursts, Crocker. Fairs. Huntington. and Hopkins all California muii-miMionaires. and all of whom when the gold fever broke out were Jasdtig young men. venturesome and enterprising. They puhed to the new Eldorado almost on foot and have all come back In their four-in-hands. History repeats Itself. The same thing is going on now. The gold mines In Colorado, ArUona, Nevada and

elsewhere are calling the rising generation of young men to make their golden mark, rs did the brilliant youths whom I have referred to in IS 13. WhD knows what they won't do In meeting the present craza for gold? This, it appears to me. is the way out of our present greenback difficulty, and If It so results and it surely will or else all Indications fail then, anl not tin then, will It do to take up and cancel the greenbacks to supplement them by gold coin. Meanwhile it were better to "bear those Ills we have rather than fly to others that we know not of." Greenbacks are good mor.ey until we can get better, and that only is gold. Greenbacks in the pnst have done, and are now doing, frood service, and It is ungrateful to cover" them all over with vituperation anl cast them Into the gutter, until they can be supplanted by something better. Contentment with an! gratitude for past services of the greenbacks is now what Is called for, anl not brutal kicks at oil friends. Snlnrrfoy Ilnuk Clearings.

Light Trnde nml Firm 1'rlcen Corer the Loral Situation. But little business, comparatively speaking, was done la the week ending Jan. 4, but the coming week every wholesale merchant expects to be in the Held, wide-awake for business, beginning the year with a drive which means good results. Conditions for a good trade are much more favorable than one year ago. Most articles are in strong position, and retail merchants are not overstocked, and there are many things which make it evident that the business outlook is more encouraging. In prices, as usual, the first few days of the year, there were r.o changes of importance. Owing to light receipts, poultry and eggs rule firm. The hide market shows more activity with better prices. In groceries firmness Is the leading feature, sugars especially being; In strong position. The activity in the provision market continues, with more steadiness In prices. The colder weather and solid roads have given more life to the grain market. Shipments are on the Increase, and the situation generally is better than previous to the holidays.

BULLISH MAY WHEAT

LEADING CERC4L TOUCHED GO 3-8 C, HIGHEST PRICE IX WEEKS. The Strength Extended to Other Grain Markets -Provisions Advanced, bat Later Lost It All. CHICAGO, Jan. 4. The grain markets were all active and strong to-day, the bullish tendencies of traders being especially apparent in the wheat pit. May wheat touched 00?sC, the highest market for some time, and closed with a net gain of 4c over yesterdaj Corn and oats advanced 4c and Vi'QMc, respectively. Provisions, after opening strong and higher, lost nearly all the opening advance, and closed practically unchanged from last night's closing. All the conditions and most of the news favored better prices for wheat. Cables came higher, the improvement being attributed In the dispatch to the political news the trouble in the Transvaal. The exports from both coasts for the week were 3,965,000 bu, or fully 00,000 bu more than a week ago and 800,000 bu more than a year ago. The total available supply is 170,000.HX bu, or 15,000,000 bu less than a year ago. Tho weather conditions, too, are unfavorable, as considerable crop areas are unprotected by snow. The indications seemed to warrant the conclusion that there would be a large decrease in the visible supply. The shorts showed Increasing alarm at the outlook, and there was active covering, while a good many liberal traders, who have heretofore been bearish, seemed disposed to change their position, and take the buying side. So the advance was easy, but soon reached a point which started free realizing, under which there was some decline. Wheat got a hoist of from 4c to 4c per bushel as soon as the opening signal permitted the buyers to shout their bids. The first transactions were at prices varying from 59?sc to COc, and after some active trading at those prices for a few minutes, the offerings being all absorbed, it shot up quickly to 604c Some heavy lines of long wheat were disposed of at from COc up to 604c. The market here was very nervous, but within a narrow range after it had made its bulge to 604c for May and got back again to 59?ic. The fluctuations after that were confined to 69c for the bottom of the range and 60Vfc$tWV4,c, with COc its resting place for the day. Corn was again dull and trading confined to small scalping operations. As the fluctuations In May, the active trading month, were confined within the range of 284c and 23V4C. the opportunities for scalping profits were of course slender. The severely cold weather and the strength in wheat caused the firmness, which resulted In V4c advance. May, which closed at 28c yesterday, sold to-day at 2SV4c, and 28V4 sellers was the state of the market at the close. Tho strength of the wheat market, the firmness In corn and the cold weather had their natural influences on the oats market and it ruled firm pnd closed with an advance of 3-16c In the May delivery. Elevator men were free sellers against purchases In the country. Provisions started very strong because of an advance of 5c In the price of hogs at the yard, but weakened on an unexpected forecast that there would be a heavy run of hogs next week. Pork retained 24c of an early gain of 124c for May and improved 74c for January. Lard and ribs left off without change Plnce yesterday.

The market is quoted as dull at 3c. but there was no demand even at that figure. The deliveries are scattered along for six months. About a third of the sales were spots. The market Is very quiet. The stock increased very materially during the week, both odds and regulars, being piled up. The indications are rather for a drop In prices when business is resumed. The production for the week was 210.000 pieces: deliveries, 113.000 pieces. Stocks (odds, 1j7.000 ; 61x64, 197.000), 354.000 pieces. NEW YORK. Jan. 4. The closing fay of the week showed no improvement in the general demand, .but there was a fair business doing as the result of mall orders that called for small assortments of seasonable specialties.

Eugenie's Eccentric Tastes. Chicago Record. Empress Eugenie is reported to be developing tastes of such an eccentric character an to give rise to serious doubts about her mental equilibrium. Thus she is lavish Ing the most extravagant care and attention upon a little hedgehog which she picked up in her wanderings about her English country place at Farnboruugh. The velvet and satin-lined basket in which its nest ha been arranged is of silver Kilt, stud led with Jewels. Every day the widowed Empress changes the dainty ribbon with which It is adorned. She talks to the little) animal by the hour, and insists on taking it about everywhere with her In her walks, her drives and even at table, while at night it sleeps on a little console beside her bed. Her attendants are becoming seriously alarmed with rejrard to her eccentricities, which aro a source of much concrn to Queen Victoria, her firm friend and confldente since the overthrow of the Napoleonic regime in France. It is malnlv dueto the state of the Empress's mental health that the projected trip to Egypt and even tho voyage to Cape Martin havo been abandoned for the nonce. The only other Instance on record of a hedgehog being preserved as a pet hy a distinguished personage is that of Lord Rosebery, who, having found a hedgehog while walking in the grounds of his plaeo at Epsom a few days before the Derby two yenrs airo, chose to regard it as a mascot and took it home with him. Tho victory of hi horse, Ladas, convinced him that ho owed his good fortune to the little beast and since then the lot of the hedgehog has been almost as happy as that of the ons adopted by Empress Eugenie. Too Sacred. Detroit Tribune. "Can I ever wear it out?" he faltered. His eyes filled with tears. "No," he sighed. "Ah, no." Thus it chanced that he gave his wife a great talk tfethe effect that the necktie she had given him was too sacred to be worn anywhere except in the privacy of their home. 'Xot Responsible. Washington Post. We fall to see tiny political significance In the fact that McKinley's brother-in-law has been sued for breach of promise. McKlnlcy is not his brother-in-law s keeper.
