At New York, Saturday, money on call was nominally at 2%03 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 4V4(&4% per cent. Sterling exchange was llrm, with actual business in bankers’ bills at $4.84% for demand and at S4.S2 1 /i'54.82% for sixty days; posted rates, $4.52%04.83% and $4.85%; commercial bills, $4.81. Silver certificates, 58058%c; bar silver, 68%c; Mexican dollars, 44%c. At London bar silver closed steady at 27 3-16d an ounce. The exports of specie from the port of New Y’ork for the week amounted to $921,743 in silver; no gold. The imports for the week were: Gold, $1,762,966; silver, $54,913; dry goods, $1,389,2L3; general merchandise, $7,061,281. The New York weekly bank statement shrws the following changes: Surplus reserve, increase $1,129,009 Loans, decrease 2,614,100 Specie, increase 938,260 Legal tender, increase 26,400 Deposits, decrease 467,(E0 Circulation, increase 46,500 The banks now hold $14,614,500 in excess of the requirement of the 25 per cent. rule. The New York Financier says: ‘‘A feature of the statement of the Associated Banks of New York city for the week ending Oct. 16 that attracted some attention was the shrinkage in loans. It is rather difficult to explain the loss except on the theory that there has been a great deal of liquidation In Stock Exchange business and an analysis of the items of the individual banks shows that the loan changes in two large institutions—the National Union and the National City Banks—account for the difference reported since the previous week. The effect of the gold imports is shown in the Increase of specie. The gain of legal tenders—the first expansion in this item since Aug. 2S—seems to show that the interior movement is nearing an end. This is not exactly the case, although the drain during the week has been less than usual, and the treasury demands have been light. All the gold imported last week does not figure in the totals, so it is reasonable to suppose that the position of the banks so far as cash is concerned is stronger than indicated. The statement points to an easier money market, in the absence of any marked activity in speculation, and the official statements of the national banks of the United States, as published last week, showing their strong position with reference to reserves, strengthen this view. The rising rates for money abroad and the continued ease heretofore shew a situation such as prevailed lasi season, when the United States loaned large amounts to Europe on sterling bills. The quotations for money In New Y’ork and London are undergoing changes which will probably place foreign above domestic rates for some time to come.” The total sales of stocks Saturday were 336,000 shares, Including: Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, 8.205; Louisville <fe Nashville, 3,610; Northern Pacific preferred, 5,425; Rock Island, 3,825; St. Paul, 10,100; Union Pacific, 8.659; American Tobacco, 6,164; Bay State Gas, 7.300; Chicago Gas, 23.445; Sugar, 9,010; Chicago Great Western, 3,320. NARROW FLUCTUATIONS.

There was nothing to Indicate any urgent covering of short contracts in Saturday’s New York stock market, such as is very often customary' at the close of a week of a bear campaign. The market showed a firm tone during the greater part of the day’s trading, but the fluctuations were very narrow, and the close was at small declines from the best. These were in sympathy with a break of % in Manhattan on short sales, and of appoint in Chicago Gas, which was the most striking demonstration by the bears during the day. Both parties in the market seemed equally' apathetic. There was good buying in the two leading specialties, Chicago Gas and Sugar, the former equally attributed to a purpose of inside interests to acquire stock and a maneuver to squeeze the shorts. Missouri Pacific was offered to some extent, probably in sympathy with the drive against Manhattan. Union Pacific exhibited some depression on account of the expressed criticisms of the minimum bid agreed to by the government for the satisfaction of its claim and agreement to the foreclosure sale. London was a buyer on balanoe Saturday to a small extent, and afforded some support to the market. None of the leading stocks show important net changes, but most of these are gains. Experts have been watching the market now for signs that it has turned upwards again. Such a process has apparently been inaugurated twice during the week, but the upward course came to a stop with the closing of short contracts and reaction resumed its sway'. The reactionary tendency has now' continued dominant for about a month and the average decline in that time is about one-half as much as was the rise in the previous four months of the bull market. Statistics might be cited of the proportions of reaction to decline after previous great bull markets, hut precedents are misleading and various. The main fact is that even in the fuli tide of the conditions w hich induce an advance in prices of securities it is invariably the rule that a backward swing occurs covering a material part through the whole of the advance. The professional traders sold out their stocks a month ago at the high prices and they don’t care to buy again so long as there is prospect of causing further declines. During the week many holders of stocks who have been persistent In holding on for a turn, have become diegusted and have liquidated on a large scale to save further loss, thus giving material assistance to the bear party. The motives assigned for tiie selling are various and of little real force, as is demonstrated by the fact that when the alleged cause is removed there is no cessation in the decline. The reaction began with the expressed fear of a stringency' in the money market. There has been no stringency, and it is now evident that there will not be. The motive of last week’s selling was alleged to be fears of damage by drought, but the breaking of the drought on last Sunday has not restored confidence to buyers. * FREIGHT RATE QUESTION. Much has been made of the unfavorable effect on railroad values, which follow adverse decisions by the Supreme Court in th. maximum freight rate case and Joint Traffic Association case. Yet the prevalent belief In the street is that the'right of the State of Nebraska to fix maximum freight rates will be denied, and there has never been much doubt felt that the Joint Traffic Association will be declared Illegal, as was the Transmissouri Freight Association. There is more sincerity’ in the apprehension expressed that the Cuban problem will ultimately lead to a rupture with Spain. The substantial hurm done by the yellow fever outbreak and the consequent interruption to railroad traffic is brought in evidence by the decreased earnings shown by the railroads in the territory affected. The admitted rate cutting by the railroads is also feared for its effect on earnings, as is the falling off in the grain movement. The returns of railroad earnings nevertheless continue to make large showings, said to be due to the movement of general merchandise and passengers. The trade reviews all report continued expansion in their lines, the improvement in the iron industry being especially marked. The increase in the output of pig Iron and the decrease in the stocks indicates that th lute of consumption has increased about 40 per cent, since July 1. Further engagements of gold for import were expected to have been made this week, but the purchases of exchange bills against last week's engagements have kept the rate of exchange above the import point. This point

has also been lowered by the advance m the price of gold bullion in London and by the rise in discount rates at London, Paris etui Berlin. Avery heavy movement of goid before the season ends is considered inevitable. London has ceased to sell American securities in the New York market, and this week has been a buyer. The government's trade statement for September shows a balance of trade foi the month in favor of this country of over $62,(x O.UOO. The movement of cotton, now just gaining full tide, is expected to give a heavy balance for October in this country’s favor. It is to be borne in mind, however, that the low price of cotton prevailing will make a great difference in the amount of exchange demand to pay for the exports. To-day's statement of imports at New Y'ork for the week also show a striking increase over last week of $2,883,551, while the exports from this port for this week fell off $2,454,394. This must modify the internal exchange situation to an appreciable extent. Os the increase in specie of $938,200, shown by Saturday’s bank statement, there is included only s7uo,uoo received from Europe. Friday’s receipts of $1,000,000 ar.d Saturday's of nearly s4,4<X>,OuO in gold by incoming steamers are not included in the return. The return is a strong one without this, the increase in surplus reserve being due largely to increase in cash and in less degree to decrease in deposits than has been the case of late. An actual increase in legal tenders is a surprise and is a measure of the large diminution in the demand for money from interior points. Banks of Western and Central cities have been bidding in the New Y'ork market for commercial paper and the decrease in loans of $2,614,100 may be accounted for in part by this fact. The week’s declines have been heaviest in the specialties. Sugar and Tobacco leading with 6% and 5% per cent., respectively. Declines in the railroad list range from 1 to 3 per cent., the grangers, Southern and Southwestern roads leading. Chicago Gas sold as low as 87%, but recovered to 94. Railroad bonds were less active and weak in sympathy with stocks, but the declines were less important. Total sales were $lO,750.000. United States bonds have been strong and higher, the new fours coupon selling at 127%, anew high record. The following table, prepared by L. W. Louis, Room 11.

A week of genuine summer weather in October is not the thing desired to make trade good in the line of fall and winter articles and as a consequence dry goods merchants, boot and shoe men, milliners, confectioners and hat and cap dealers had an unexpectedly quiet week. Grocers, druggists, leatlier dealers, hardware and iron merchants say they had no cause for complaint. Provisions are dull, much of it being due to the light Southern trade. Prices on all descriptions of hog pit ducts are easy. Produce men are .busy, poultry rules easy on large receipts, while eggs are very firm at Quotations on light receipts. Butter continues in good request. Trade with the seed merchants is rather quiet. Commission merchants nad a fair week. Oranges are beginning to arrive. but sell at high prices. Pome good celery is notv offered, but the demand is light. The local grain market was not as active in the week ending Oct. 16 as In the previous week, local inspections falling considerably short. Receipts of wheat are still very light and of com moderate. Oats are dull.

WHEAT CLOSED FIRMER —* SCARCITY OF OFFERINGS MADE ADVANCE OF 1C IN DECEMBER. Corn Remained Firm, imt I nclinnsecl, lvitli Oat* Higher mid Provision* Slightly Lower. CHICAGO, Oct. 16.—1 t was a case of dog eat dog in the wheat market to-day. From the scarcity of December offerings and the quickness with which anything was taken a badly congested condition in that option was indicated. The close was firm at a 1-cent advance. Rains west and disappointing Liverpool cables caused a slight opening decline, the only weakness the market displayed. Corn was firm, but closed unchanged. Oats were a shade higher at the finish. Provisions were weak, principally from the yellow-fever scare, and closed 5@ 12%c lower. Wet weather throughout the greater part of the winter and all of the spring-wheat territory, disappointing foreign markets and a very marked increase in the wheat receipts in the Northwest confronted the wheat trade at the opening. Though the effect was partially offset by the surprisingly large exports- for the week there was nevertheless a general selling out of wheat by timid holders, and the opening market was lower, December starting at from 9lc to 91 Vic, as compared ivith yesterday’s closing price of 91%@91%c. The weakness was short-lived, however, as the lower prices stimulated strong buying and caused a rally of lc per bu in a very few' minutes, December advancing to 92V4c. The December future, acts as though it were considerably congested, as it sold at 2%e premium over May. Bradstreet s reports showed wheat and flour exports were equal to 6,039,000 bu, against 4,836,000 bu a week previous and 4,157,000 bu for the corresponding week last year. Revival of the old rumors that Russia would prohibit wheat and rye exports and that France would abolish Its import duty on wheat created a little bullish feeling during the first hour, and December advanced to 92%c while the news was circulating. The Northwest receipts were 1,176 cars at Minneapolis and Duluth, against 1.140 a week ago and 835 last year. The receipts at all primary markets aggregated 1,202,000 bu, against 937,070 bu for the corresponding day a year ago. Chicago receipts were 133 cars. Liverpool opened %and higher, but closed only Vsd higher for near months to %and lower for deferred. Paris closed unchanged to 10 centimes lower for wheat, but 10 to 40 centimes higher for flour, and Antwerp quoted wheat unchanged to 12% centimes higher. Despite the apathy shown in their own markets, however, there was evidence conclusive that the foreigners were also buying liberally to cover sales abroad and the strong tone of the market for ocean freights indicated that the cash stuff was going out. The advance for the day was tempting enough to induce many owners of wheat to sell out their profits rather than carry the property over to next week. The result w r as a slight reaction from top figures. December was selling at 92%c at the close. There was a fairly active trade in corn, with shorts again liberal buyers. At the opening the market was weak on the large local receipts, 957 cars, the rains West, and poor weekly exports. There was a strong demand at the decline and helped by the advance in wheat, the market rallied sharply. The inquiry dropped off toward the close and prices sank again. A large amount of changirg of December contracts to May was done during the day. December ranged from 27Vic to 26%@26%c and closed unchanged at 26%c. The market for oats was firm on a decidedly narrow trade confined mostly to exchanging. The tone, wuth the exception of a little weakness at the opening, was firm and prices ruled a shade higher. Sympathy with wheat and corn and a renewal of cash demand were the influences. Receipts wore liberal —419 cars, and exports were over 200,000 bushels. December ranged from 18%c to 18%@18%c, closing a shade higher at lS%e. .. . . „ It was a rather quiet day in the provision pit. The market ruled easy early on the lower hog prices and on the yellow fever news. There was commission house selling on a fair scale. The partial rally was in sympathy with wheat, but the general tone was easier throughout. Stocks of lnr d are said to be under 200.000 tierces; ribs 13,000,000 pounds. At the close December pork was 12’6c lower at $7.75; December lard oc lower at $4.27%, and December ribs 10c lower at $4 Estimated Receipts for Monday—Wheat, 210 cars; corn, 940 cars; oats, 350 cars, hogs, 33,000 head. „ .
