At New York Saturday money on call Sras easier at 3 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 4liiH per cent.

At London bar Silver closed steady at 27 l-lfkl an ounce. The sto;k of gold coin In the New York Bubtreasury is now 1127,009,009. This Is said to be larger than any previous holding of gold In thirty years. The exports of gold and silver from the JCew York port to all countries for the week aggregated JSG3.210 silver, bar and coin, and $3,000 gold, a total of SVT0.21Q. The Imports cT specie were J193.9S8 gold and 179.190 sliver. The Import of dry goods and merchandise at the port of New York for the week were valued at $10,033,517. The New York weekly bank statement shows the following changes: Surplus reserve, increase J2.C5S.3rjO Loans, decrease 17.8W5.oO) Specie, decrease 1,28,400 ligal tenders, decrease 1,241,600 peposits, decrease 20,793.0.) Circulation, Increase 85,990 The banks now hold $2,963,700 in excess of legal requirements. The New York Financier says: "The Clearing house banks of New York city tvere able last week, through the familiar operation of contracting loans and lessening deposit liabilities, to strengthen their position, surplus reserves having risen to nearly three millions, as against about a quarter million for the week previous. ThU was accomplished in the face of an actual loss of two and one-half millions In cash, an amount rather less than the known operations of th week had prepared the street to expect. The wholesale liquidation which has been In evidence for some days past la reflected in a contraction of J17.&W..VK) in leans and a coincident reduction of $20,793.000 in deposits. The shrinkage in the latter Item, lowering, as it did, the reserve liability by 23 per cent., released over $5,000,000 in rash, and explains why. with money still flowing into the treasury and to the West, the banks are able to end the week in a stronger position, from a cash standpoint, than they began it. In the past three Weeks the decrease In loans has been no less than thirty-one millions, while deposits have been reduced over $50,000,000. In the name time there has been a loss in cash of X19.000.000. The latter Item explains the drift of banking operations very well, for it la known that the loss of specie and legals to the interior has not been as heavy as the figures given above indicate. POLICY OF LIQUIDATION. "The money has flowed in large part into the treasury, and It has been this constant drain that has necessitated the policy of liquidation to maintain reserves. As bearing on this point, the completed totals of the New York national banks, as given In their official statements of Sept. 7, show that between June 30 and the first week In September country bank balances were re- . M lilt it. . cucea oniy iour minions, wnereas me contraction in other deposits was about seven ty-four millions. In the time Intervening between the two official statements the national banks lost twenty-one millions in ftpecie and legals. The movement to the Interior since Sept. 7 has been a little more active, but nothing in comparison in the loss In cash sustained by the banks this month." The tone of the trading in stocks on fjon with the recent excited temper on the Exchange, but the local traction stocks continued to reflect a decidedly uncertain frame of mind. Brooklyn Transit refused to go up more than a point, and then slipped below Friday night's level. Its extreme decline was five points, and even with a final rally of covering by shorts its net loss is three points. Metropolitan fared better and has . a gain of over two points. The other New York city stocks fell off in sympathy with Brooklyn Transit, and the stocks in the Flower group were inclined to weakness. There was no marked strength at any time. The early advance was nominally in sympathy with the hope expressed In some quarters abroad that the Transvaal question would find a peaceful solution after alL Earlier gains had been generally wiped out when the bank statement appeared. The first effect of the statement was a rally, due to buying by those who never look further than the surplus reserve figures. An analysis of the statement failed to develop any very encouraging feature in It, and S rices fell away again to the lowest of the ay and closed there, except for a few specialties, which rallied. The banks are tronger by a wider margin of surplus reserve than last week, but the statement hows a decrease fn cash somewhat less than had been anticipated. The outgo was greatest toward the end of the week, so that the full decrease may not be shown tinder the system of averages by which the statement is made up. Counting the week's reduction of S17.S6S.500 In loans, the total Ioan contraction by the clearing house tanks since Aug. 26 aggregate X34.S64.600. THE PLAN FOR RELIEF. IXuch wu made early In the week of a plan of relief for the stringency by an Increase of national bank circulation. It will be observed that the total increase of circulation, according to the statements, is 5,900 for the week. Furious speculative activity and excitement have made heavy dealings on the Stock Exchange all week. The obvious necessity disclosed by the previous Saturday's bank statement for a contraction of loarjs by the backs prepared the professional stock operators to take advan fa ire of tha fnrrn4 HnnMMnn nt latlve holdings of stocks, which had been bought cn a margin with borrowed money. The professional operators were all bears and took the market away from the longs as quickly as the pressure of liquidation manifested itself. The course of prices indicated pretty clearly that the calling of loans was made with marked discrimination against the industrial stocks. The margin of collateral on loans in which these securities figured was broadened as well as the rate of interest being marked up. In many cases the loans were called outright only to be placed after the collateral had been shifted into more substantial securities. The violent fluctuations in Brooklyn Transit had an inevitable effect on other securities more or less allied to it by common ownership of securities. The proportions of the dealings in Brooklyn Transit Lave perhaps never been equaled in the history of any other stock in the period f time. In two weeks past the number of shares of this stock sold on tbe Exchange foot up a total of almost four times as great as the total shares of the company. The fact is beginning to emerge that a contest is on between some of the most powerful financial Interests In the country for the control of some or all the public utilities and franchises of Greater New York. The contest has been open and fierce for many months in the gas business and belief in Wall street Is that the same elements are contending for the control of the street-railway corporations. The eagerness of the bear element among professional operators resulted in extending the short account and the demand to cover became urgent. There was Some relief from the earlier anxiety over the money outlook as the week progressed based on various causes. Large contraction of loans was surHoient to Insure a material decrease In deposit liabilities by the bank and the outgo of money showed a falling off both to the Interior and tr the subtreasury. - The purchase of $509.Jtt) In gold in the Lon don market for shipment to New York, though it would not be vouched tor by any one in Wall street, had an effect on Stock Exchange sentiment, as It was doubtless intended it should. The downward course of foreign exchange excites expectation Qf an early Import movement of golJ, though fore!gn bankers deprecate the expectation. There Is still existing a short interest insterling exchange which makes a good demand for belated cotton bills which are now cczzlns forward mors freely. Last Septem

ber the surplus reserves of the New York banks fell below X3.000.ono on Sept. 17, and loan contraction and liquidation on the Stock Exchange set in with a stiffening of the call loan rate to 6 per cent. Then the rate dropped to 2 per cent, and surplus reserve had risen to about $15,000,000. But last September the treasury added to its deposits with depository banks the sum of nearly $13.Cm).000 in connection with the payment of subscriptions to the new government bond issue. The large excess of government expenditures over receipts was adding to the money In circulation, while' the New York banks are now losing weekly to the siibtreasury. During last September the receipts of gold from Europe at New York, according to the custom house report, were lll.73S.242. This month there have been no receipts of gold and none is likely before the end of the month. National banks were increasing their circulation last September on a larger scale than this. These differences In the circumstances last year must be taken Into account in connection with the quick recuperation of New York banks last September. The loan contraction last year between Sept. 10 and Oct. 1 reached nearly $30.000.0flO. The bond market has moved generally In sympathy with stocks, but has not been as active nor changes as wide.

"It appears to be very generally understood that it would be reckless to disregard possibilities in the money market and in foreign politics which, for some weeks ahead, may keep business In suspense. We are yet In the woods in respect to the bank situation. Probably the outflow of currency to the interior has reached its climax; but although it may be expected to diminish from this time forward, yet the beginning of the reflux movement can hardly be expected before the middle or end of October; and, with the bank reserves In their present depleted condition, it Is not easy to see how the still remaining demand for money from the country banks Is to be met without some exposure to spasms and squeezes. Nor can we expect to be delivered at an early day from the uncertainties that center around Inuon. The African afrair has entered the tedious phase of diplomacy with Its dally changing promises and disappoint ments, which are always demoralizing to speculation. There Is little probability of the nnal stage In the quarrel being reached until England has a sufficient military force la Africa to warrant her declaring her ulti

matum, nor Is Kruger likely to commit the folly c-t striking until he must. The sig-

nlncarce of all this is that there are still (and ruay be for ?he next few weeks) un certainties of sufficient magnitude to perpetuate the rast suspense and possibly to precipitate adverse reactions. "Something must depend on the course or the foreign exchanges, but It is difficult to form a satisfactory estimate of the real position of that factor. The course of our foreign trade Is still drifting towards a balance that must sooner or later start a flow of gold to this country. Hut London watches the drift with much precaution, as well she may with a probable foreign war hanging over her head. That center may be expected to do all In her power to keep its gold at heme, pending these uncertainties, and will not hesitate to play off against us the return of our securities as occasion may suggest. This policy is already evident. London Is selling when prices rise here and buying little when quotations fall; and Its realizations exceed its buying. Our August exports of merchandise show an excess over imports upon a scale which, if continued, must ultimately put it in our power to draw gold from Europe; but the present course of exchange, though slowly yielding in that direction, does not bring that movement within sight. From such indications as appear on the surface, it seems quite possible that the trade balance may not bring us any appreciable amount of gold until the return of currency from the interior has reStored a normal ease In money at this center. In that case, we will be In less urgent need of the metal, and its course will be towards the point where there is the greatest demand for It. Late exprlence has shown that American balances may rest in Kurope-to the extent of seventy to eighty millions when the money Is needed more there than at home, and the comparative rates of Interest here and abroad will determine whether we shall have a repetition of that condition during the next few months. It Is not unlikely that, after importing a moderate amount of specie, we should be willing to permit it to accumulate abroad; and that is the more probable In prospect of the extraordinary travel from here next year to the Paris exposition. "In view of the foregoing circumstances, It seems that, for the present, the proper attitude toward the market is one of moderation both as to expectations and holdings. Wall street has had the equinoctial gale which I foreshadowed was forthcoming and which culminated in Wednesday's severe break, produced by a combination of circumstances tight money in this country, the Dreyfus matter in France, and the African war cloud in London affecting the three great money centers. The shock has come and gone without any serious disasters occurring other than severe liquidation, the worst of which may now be regarded as over. A recovery in tone as well as in S rices is now the natural sequence. Prices, owever, must not be expected to advance to booming figures; for, while the money market Is easier, it Is far from affording facilities to provide for an extended bull campaign. Until the flow of money is pronouncedly this way, therefore, the conditions only warrant a trading market, and prices have now reached a fair basis to justify bujing and selling any of the good active stocks for the wide and frequent fluctuations that we are likely to have in the immediate future."

Almost without exception the wholesale merchants and commission men speak of the trade in the week ending Saturday. Sept. 23, as having been the banner week in their history. Weather, finances and light stocks carried by the retail merchants all helped In the result. In prices there were no Important changes. Many lines of goods are now sold on very close margins, and the volume of trade cuts an Important figure In the matter of profits. During the week there was ro change In values made of Importance. Poultry, eggs, fruits of the season and vegetables were in active request, and the cool weather enabled commission houses and produce men to maintain stiff prices, as compared with those In the recent heated term, when fruit rotted badly. The seed merchants are again busy, all seeds being firm at quotations. Coal dealers report trade highly satisfactory, but prices unsettled, owing to the shortage of cars, which prevents the usual shipments to this and other Western markets. Provisions are moving better at steady prices. In the local grain market there was more life the past week. Still, receipts are disappointing in volume and short of the local requirements.

WHEAT PRICES WEAKER

IXCLIATI0X TO IIEAL1ZI? RESULTED IX A LOWER RANGE. Coarne Grain Followed the Coarse of the Leader Throughout the SessionPork Hlsher. CHICAGO, Sept. 23. Wheat to-day was weak from beginning to end of the short session and closed at c decline for December and IVbC for September. Te support the market received on account of the failure of a big bear firm Thursday had ceased and an inclination to realize developed. Corn closed Uc lower for December. December oats lost Mc. September In both markets was steadier. Provisions closed 2a (glOc higher. Wheat showed heaviness right at the start. Yesterday's sharp advance here was followed by an advance of only Md at Liverpool, while other foreign markets did not sihow any greater improvement. Buying consequent on the failure of the most prominent bear house Thursday had apparently ceased, and, although, the market for a short time exhibited some nervousness over the rumors of further failures, the reports involved only small firms and the market was soon left to the influence of normal conditions. A tendency to realize on purchases made earlier in the week gradually developed, and, though the pressure did not become heavy at any time, It was sufficient to gradually force prices downward. The price finally got well under put figures and bujing against those privileges caused a reaction. Before the close, however, the market had again dropped back into dullness and prices slowly declined to their former level. Almost nothing wa9 done in September. There was no demand for that option and a few selling orders were sufficient to cause a decline of c. Primary receipts were heavy and the cash demand poor, which increased the heaviness of the speculative market. Minneapolis and Duluth' receipts wre 1,066 cars, against 1,007 cars last week and 1,001 cars a year ago. Chicago receipts were 166 cars, two of contract grade. Total primary receipts were 1,027,000 bushels, compared with 1,314,000 bushels a year ago. Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour amounted to 638,000 bushels. The seaboard reported twelve loads taken for export. The world's shipments were expected to exceed 7.UOO.OOO. bushels. December opened y4c lower at 'ff&Wit It declined to 72c and closed at 72?iS72c. Corn was firm for September, but weak for deferred futures and dull for everything. There was scattered realizing all day by recent buyers of December. A fair demand for September shorts kept that option .steady. Receipts were liberal, 950 cars, and a large Increase in the local stocks was expected. A heavy shipping business was reported, with seventy loads taken for export at the seaboard. December ranged from XfiiWlsC to 30&c and closed ic lower at )!c. To-day's prices were considerably over weekly calls. Oats were quiet and rather eesy, with receiving houses moderate sellers all day. Outside longs realized to seme extent. Sympathy with other grain markets was apparent. Receipts vrere 329 cars. The cash demand was rather light. December ranged from 22 to 22. and closed He lower, at 22c. Provisions were dull, but steady, pork leading. Early there was a tendency toward lower prices, but the sharp advance of meats at Liverpool and some covering by outside sellers helped the market. At the close January pork was 2Vtioc higher, at J9.72fc&.75. October lard showed 10c advance. January lard closed unchanged, at 5.52a, and ribs 2g5c higher, at $5.07 5.10.
