NO DEMAND FOR STOCKS SHORTS HAD FtLLY ANTICI FATED ADVERSE DAK STATEMUM. Doll Movement of the Past Ten Days Seem to Have Spent Its Force Local Trade Quiet. At New York. Saturday, money on call was easier at 21J per cent.; last loan at t per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 4U'i?" per cent. Sterling exchange was steady, with actual business in banker' bills at $4.Sg4.SCt; for demand ' and at ll.XXl l.831i for sixty days; posted rates, $4.& and 4.87: commercial bills, $4.S2. Silver certificate?, SSfiOc; bar silver, DUc; Mexican dollars, 47Vc At London bar silver closed steady, at 2713-16d an cunce. The exports of gold and silver from New York to all countries for the week aggregate 5S,971 silver bars and coin and 22.50C in sold. Imports of specie were JU5.912 gold and $75,361 sliver. The New York weekly bank statement Chows the following changes: Surplus reserve, decrease $3,1$7.27 I.oan-. decrease 3,12,90O Specie, decrease 4,257,30 IxBal tenders, decrease SS",4jO Deposits, decrease 8,341.31 Circulation, increase 228,400 The banks now hold $9,191,2TjO in excess of the legal requirements. The New York Financier says: "The fitatement of the New York clearing house banks for the week ending Sept. 2 shows, as had been anticipated, a loss In surplus reserve, due to operations with the treasury and the Interior. The decrease In money held above legal requirements aggregated about 23 per cent., and as there is no reason to expect a different statement for a week or two to come, the outlook favors a firmer tone in money. The banks have apparently reached a position where they cannot expand their business further, and if the de- ' mand for money from the West and South attains considerable proportions contractions In outstanding commitments are inevitable. The loans of the banks have been reduced steadily since the opening of July, the decrease up to the present having been forty millions. Deposits show a heavier falling off. The result of these contractions, however, as reflected In excess cash is seen !n an enlargement of reserve of only $3,000,000. These are the conditions under which the banks face a demand, the extent of which is in doubt, for money needed . to move the crops. Still, Ahe outlook is not as dubious as might be inferred. The interior institutions are much stronger than at this time last year and the decline of foreign exchange rates forecasts what may be expected If rates show a tendency to rise beyond a reasonable figure. At this time last year the reserves of the New York banks . were only $,00,000 higher than at present and fell to $4,500,000 on Sept. 1, but a month later, owing largely to gold imports and treasury operations, excess reserve bad risen to about $20,OU0.0CO. The movement of money to the West this year will probably be much less than last, but in any event the method of recuperation then employed is easier of accomplishment now. The principal feature in the current statement, aside from the loss of J3.272.6"") In cash, is the decrease of $$,341.3u0 in deposits. Loans, in the face of considerable Stock Exchange activity, have contracted $3,126,900. Circulation for the week has increased $228,400." The New York stock market was intensely dull throughout Saturday's short session and net changes extended beyond fractions only In rare instances:. As the bears had sold the market short in anticipation of the bank statement, the evening up of their contracts when it appeared, closely conforming to estimates, erected a demand which rallied the market from early depression and brought prices in most cases above Friday's leveL The fact that Monday Is a holiday had an effect in keeping Stock Exchange operations at a minimum. The report of a death from yellow fever in New Orleans and the Texas quarantines caused weakness in the railroads there in the South, notably Illinois Central. Brooklyn Transit, Tennesiee Coal. The Republic Steel stocks and American Tobacco led a rise before the bank statement came out. In .contrast to the sudden outbreak. Friday, of .activity In Vanderbilts, there was only a single sale In the first hour of Northwestern and of Omaha, the latter at a gain of a. point. New York Central did not appear on the tape at all until the second hour. Kansas & Texas seconds' became active in the late dealings and advanced 1 per cent. The stock market has shown the effects the paet week of profit-taking by the organized pools, which were active in advances the prices of certain railroad stocks. Those stocks hive suffered most acutely. but the whole list hss shown an increasing disposition to sa. Early in the week the pool were sharply manipulating the industrial shares to sustain prices and covering as they went. The short interest In some of the industrials was sensitive to the upward movement and was inclined to cover, helping, the strength. The various professional maneuvers were the surface indicat'ons of the culmination of the recent bull movement, and the market lapsed into dullness and neglect after they had been concluded. There was no heavy liquidation in evidence outside the speculative profit-taking, and the mirket took on the condition of lethargy and sluggishness which indicates the contentment of the mass of holders of securities and the unwillingness of buyers to raise their bids. This haa not prevented the rise of a railroad stock here and there from Individual causes. Earnings of railroads continuo to ?how unprecedented results, but there Is no change in the cautious and conservative policy heretofore shown by railroad managers. They have continued to make extraordinary outlays for betterment, and In many Instances are Inclined to pile up a surplus against future contingencies or to put the surplus earnings Into permanent Improvements designed to cheapen the cost of transportation. Present high prices of railroad stocks have thus anticipated Increased dividend disbursements, which. In many cases, have not come. The persistent Increase of railroad earnings makes the higher dividends Increasingly probable, but the actual declaration has been in many cases more than discounted. The stocks of iron and steel companies on the exchange very obstinately refuse to - advance, owing to a feeling that the present conditions in tron and steel are abnormal and necessarily transitory. Even the buoyant tone of one stock in this group elicited little response elsewhere. The evidence of uneasiness. If not of actual distress, in foreign financial centers on account of the heavy bills they must pay to this country are accepted by the hears as a. symptom that easier means will be sought In future to satisfy their needs. So far as the immediate outlook Is concerned, money conditions are favorable to the decline ia price of securities. The surplus reserves of Tew lork banks are unprecedentedly low for this pertod of the ear. Even If interior money markets are able to supply funds to move the crops that will Involve r. curtailment of supply at a source to wrich New Ju 1 applied quite freely of late for fiT c, contant recuperative process of the banks of England.

Soma hestitatlon was produced by the unsettling effect of the Transvaal difficulties on tho lxndon market, but as the best opinion in clines to tne belief that there will be no war and that President Kruger will ulti mately mike concessions, no serious injury to confidence followed. This market, is, or course, sensitive to foreign affairs and must always temaln so In these days of close commercial and financial interdependence: yet were war to happen between England and the Transvaal it would find this country far better able to take care of its finan ces than usual, and no one anticipates that any nooa 01 American securities could be returned to us, for the simple reason that the available supply over there has been so greatly reduced by shipments to the United Mates during the last two or three years. Any Important declines in London would bring out eager buying on thia side of the Atlantic. "The general tone of the local market continues good. Confidence In a broader and more active market during the autumn is almost universal. This, of course, is based on the extraordinary wave of prosperity which extends over the whole country, and which as yet shows no signs of having ppent its force. The iron-and kinared industries are making a wonderful record; our whole history fails to show a parallel. Raw ma terials, such as pig Iron, copper and tin. show advances from lowest prices of from 50 to 100 per cent. Finished products of course, show no such rise, but In many in stances price is a secondary condition with buyers, delivery being the main want. So far high prices do not seem to have checked business, and there ha3 been a remarkable absence of speculative buying. Later on these conditions must check purchases and defer repairs. Improvements and new enterprises until values recede to a normal basis. but this stage of affairs has not yet been reached. Until it approaches we are not likely to witness any important recession in tne siock market. Railroad earnings continue making satisfactory gains. Riving rise to all orts of hopes regarding increased dividends. Some of these are likely to meet with disappoint n.ent, for present conditions mean Increased costs in operating that will materially mod ify unreasonable expectations. A little sken ttcism regarding dividend rumors will do no harm. Some of the best railroad Htocks are held at prices that offer slight chances for further profits. As already intimated in these advices, however, there are a number of low-priced isimes of reorganized proper lies which had been more or less neglected. and which must show large appreciation as they approach rrom a non-01 viaend to a dividend-paying business. The market Is likely to have the support of big operators for some weeks to come, and as these return from summer refcorts. dealings will be resumed with greater Activity. Comparatively little attention Is being pale to crop reports. It is certain however, that we shall have sufficient wheat and corn for home and foreign wants, and that our farmers will obtain reasonably good irlct for their crops. Prosperity U

shining upon the fields of the West as well as on the mills of the East.

'This Saturday's bank statement is not lkely to be a eood one. nor Is there likely to be any Increase In the bank reserves during the month of September, for the reason that t is the principal crop-moving month of the year, and money, therefore, is more liable to be drawn from this center than returned to it from the various sections of the countryWhat will make the bank statement worse than otherwise Is the payment which was made to the erovemment by the City Dank for the purchase of the custom house. the amount being 53.2u.ooo. The small sur plus reserve of the banks at this season of the year, when the natural current Is against this money center is. of course, a reason for conservatism, and should be a wholesome check aealnst excessive buyinsr on borrowed money, and this is calculated to dwarf the business of the street for the next two or three weeks at least. I therefore advocate aulck in-and-out tran sactions, as temporary higher rates for money may be used at any time to force lower prices." Saturday Bank Clearings.

Weather conditions In the week ending Sept. 2, taken with the fact that it was the end of summer, helped to make trade quiet In nearly all lines. There are evidences on all sides that with the coming of fall wenther trade Is to be large in Its volume and leave no room for complaint. Prices continue unusuelly steady in all lines. During the week hardly a change was made in any line except In tho rature of an advance. The most notable advances were in hide and leather markets and drugs. Prices on every article In the food line are well maintained. Choice fruit is selling at good prices, but inferior stock Is difficult to dlppose of at low figures. The general expression is that only cooler weather Is needed to give business & boom. Th local grain market shows more activity. but receipts still fall short of local demand. Millers are buying grain at other grain centers.

CORN LED THE MARKETS FEARS OF CROP DAMAGE CAUSED AX l.XCHCASED DEMAND. "Wheat 4Vas Weak Throughout the Session and Provisions Were Int der Yellow Fever Scare. CHICAGO, Sept. 2. Corn was again the big market on the Board of Trade to-day. Fears of damage frcm the long-continued hot, dry weather drove September shirts to cover and advanced the price of that commodity ?c. Other futures closed unchanged. Wheat was weak for deferred futures on expectations of large receipts next week. Oats closed unchanged to c higher and provisions closed a trifle higher. The tendency of wheat at the opening was slightly downward. Foreign markets were Inclined toward a lower level, and Northwest receipts were much more liberal than a week ago. Minneapolis in addition, wired that receipts by Tuesday, the next -session on 'Change would probably reach 2,000 cars, which added materially to the bearishness of the situation, though it did not have any effect at first. A wild spurt in corn took place ehortly after the opening. The ad vance in that grain was so rapid that for the time being it took wheat shorts off tbelr feet and sent prices up about He for Septem ber and about 8c for December. While the Influence of the corn firmness lasted there was considerable activity In wheat, but when realizing set in in the coarser grain and Kice3 began to edge off wheat readily fol lowed. The influence of the heavy expected Northwest receipts then began to be felt. Heavy shorts, who had held aloof from the market during the early spurt, came into tne market then and gradually presseu prices downward. The selling of December was much more marked than that of September, and that option suffered more in consequence. During the last hour of the short Saturday session early buyers turned sellers, but the demand was too light to absorb offerings, and the market closed weak and at the bottom. The day s clear ances of wheat and flour at the Atlantic ports equaled 630,000 buthels. Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts of 63$ cars, against 229 last week and o01 a year ago. Cnicago receipts were 118 cars, 20 of contract grade. Total primary receipts were put at 328,000 bushels, compared with 1,000,000 Dusneis a year ago. There as gome buying against puts shortly before the close, but only enough to stop the decline. December opened unchanged at 11Wlc. It advanced to Tlftc, then declined to 71471c, closing at 7140. September opened a shade higher at &) 69"4c, advanced to 70c and declined to wsc, where It closed. The market for corn was active and broad. Continued dry and hot weather was re ported from the West, and fear of consequent damage was strengthened by reports or "nring from parts of Illinois. Shorts were heavy buyers, especially of December, and that option advanced sharply, deferred futures fciiowing. At the top there was a good deal of realizing, and late In th session prices eased off, the advance in Decem ber being lost. September, however, was strong ou the close. Larger receipts were predicted on account ot the September premium. Receipts to-day were 5G8 cars. There was a good cash and shipping demand. December ranged from 2S"c to 29 29ic and closed unchanged at 2&c. Sep tember ranged frcm Sic to 3l?4c and closed ?ic higher at 318c. oats were strong and fairly active, snorts were good buyers of September, and it was evident the short interest in that option is larger than expected. The strength of corn had considerable influence on the market, and the continued excellent cash demand was also a factor. There was some Investment buying. Receipts were 445 cars. December ranged from 19T4&20c to 20"4c and closed y6c higher at LNXtic Provisions were weak to start with, in fluenced by reported yellow fever in New Orleans. The decline In prices was insignifi cant, however, and later the market grew strong on the heavy decreases in stocks. notably that or ribs, over 10,000,000 pounds. Packers and outsiders were good buyers early in the session and prices advanced slightly all around, the market closing flrjn. October pork closed 2Ac higher, at $S.U5, Oc tober lard a shade higher at m.Vs and October ribs a shade higher at K.12Vs.
