Imports of specie wer $433.?23 In gold and $22,212 in silver. Imports of dry goods and merchandise were valued at I3.313.S97. The weekly statement of the associated New York banks. Issued Saturday, shows the following charges: Loans, decrease $102,K5.$e0 Deposits, decrease 13,15S,j00 Circulation. Increase 157.700 Legal tenders, decrease 1,700,200 Specie, decrease 8.605,000 Itcserve, decrease ,31)5,200 Eurplus reserve, decrease 1,516,225 The banks now hold 12,947.700 in excess of the 23 per cent rule. The Financier says: "The statement cf the New York associated banks for the week ended Oct. 20. taking everything into consideration, was of a favorable character. The clearing institutions, despite the drain of 15,305,200 cash from, their already depleted holdings, managed to minimize the effect of the reduction by a radical contraction In loans, which operated to reduce deposits and therefore released the percentage of cash heretofore locked up as reserve. In brief, the present volume of deposits calls for nearly $3.SC0.0CO less cah reserve than at the close of the previous week, and as the actual cash outgo was. as stated, 15,305,200. the eurplus was reduced only 1.516,225, leaving the excess still held above the legal requirements $2.947,700. It 1 usually calculated that all the banks are required to maintain 25 per cent, of their deposits in cash. This Is true in the cae of national banks, but there are in the Clearing House Association eighteen State banks, which legally are not compelled to do so, although they usually attempt to keep the higher percentage. As a matter of fact the power of the banks to Joan money Is greater than the excess reserves total Indicate. The outlook, however, does not favor the possibility of the banks having to resort to their extra lecal power. The demand for currency from the South ha abated largely, and receipts of specie, both from Europe and the Pacific coast, will torn, up nearly 310.Oj0.G00 before the end of next week. In addition to this, the treasury is loaning money to the bank?, so that their trains will be much above the outgo. At the same time it cannot be said thit rates on loans will respond instantly to these factor?. The contraction of ten millions In loans In the face of an active stock market is unnatural, end Is not to be looked for a a regular feature. The near approach of election does not seem to be changing the iolicy of the banks In any respect. The decrease of sixty-one millions In deposits since tho middle of September Is to lx ascribed solely to crop season operations. Circulation is stilt e-v&sding and Is now -well above all previous records, standing at about $:0,3C0,0o0." WALL STREET REVIEW. The tentative opposition which has been offered to the upward course of prices for two days past, by a considerable bearish element of professional traders, was wholly abandoned Saturday, and prices moved upwards without important exception and almost without interruption. Considering the very large volume of the dealings, the movement of prices of the majority of stocks was surprisingly small. The large and eager demand from outside sources was. In fact, pretty steadily fed by the professional operators, who were taking profit. Hut the undertone of firmness was shown by the prompt drain in the offerings when there was the slightest yielding in prices. There were a few stocks also in which there were striking upward movements, notably In the steel and iron group. American Hoop was the leader and was strong from the outset. Federal Steel encountered frome opposition to the advance in the early dealings, but ultimately became very bouyant In tone. The whole group came Into the move ment under this leadership and advanced from 1 to 3's, the latter figure for American Hoop, This movement was an essential factor In th bouyant tone cf the whole market at the close. Pacific Mall was marked up 3 points without any news to account for the rise. The buying was attributed to the hopes of benefit to the property from the passage of a ship subsidy bill at the coming senon of Congress. A bank statement, which reports a decline in surplus reserves of $1.516,225, in spite of a loan contraction of over $10,000,000. would precipitate an effective bear attack on prices in any ordinary market. but the large loss in reserves, which reached $5.535.000, was offset by other considerations and by the conviction that the showing was due to the vagaries of the average system of computation. Last Saturday's statement, it will be remembered, failed to show the known movement of money to the Interior by over $3,000,000, Saturday's statement Is believed to overstate the real loss by at least as much as the previous statement understated It. It is evident, also. that the week's receipts of gold came too late to affect the showing, and will have a resulting larger effect on next week's showing. The midweek receipts were supplemented by $1.200,000 In gold, which arrived from Europe Friday and Saturday. and by $4.500.000 In sovereigns which arrived at San Francisco from Australia Friday. Additional large receipts cf Klondike gold are In sight, and more cf the Luropean gold will como In next week. Hence the noneffect on sentiment of the poor surface showing by the banks. The large loan contraction Is explainable. In part at least. by the fact already pointed out In these dis patches, that the trust companies have been the active lenders In the busy week of the Stock Exchange and have drawn on their deposits with the banks, thus forcing the calling of bond loans, and replacing them with loans on their own account. The stock market during the past vreek has had the benefit of various factors, part of them technical in character, and part of them grow lng out of substantial improvement in financial conditions. The most Important element In the advance is the forcing to cover of a large short Interest. Professional operators In stocks, who are greatly prone to historical analogies, found themselves impressed with the recollection of what happened to the stock market at this time four year? ago. and they argue that the present tendency , to hoij back from business engage ment until aftr election warranted the ex pectation of a decline in prices before election, such as occurred four years ago, but the sudden turn cf circumstances towards relief from the threatened stringency In the New York money market gave opportunity for the watchful bull contingent In stocks to effect a turn in prices against their opponents, which drove them to cover in a somewhat disorderly and hasty manner. The powe -ful and well organized bull party was ailed In thus wringing prollts out of the bears by the development of an outside buying Interest which attained notable proportion., and made itself felt to a degree also by invest ment buying of bonds. Last week's good bank statement and the large engagements of gold for Import, which continued this week, gave gen rral encouragement, and the hope was enter taiued that the crucial strain on the market had been parsed asd that the resources would prove sufficient to meet the unexpected heavy demands. This hci had additional warrant from the fall ing off during the week In the interior demand for money and the larger supply of money se cured by the operations with the subtreasurr by reason cf pension payments and the larger drafts payable against, gold deposits with the government at Paeltic coast points. OTHER BULL FACTORS. The reports of Improvement In the Iron and teel trade, the settlement of the coal miners strike and the fact that the average gross earn lngs of railroad for the first week In October tiowed an tncreasw again over last year, after those for the last week In September had fallen ff. all helped to stimulate the bullish sentiment. Tut the bouyant ri.e In prices offered attractive profits to speculator who had held stocks during th Jong period cf inertness and lethargy In the maiktt. At the same time the closing out , ef Iar short Interests tock out of the market an importaut support to prices. Looking beyond the immediate present conditions In the money m-iiket. speculator -avr some causv fur renewed apprehension of hl)i r&t ft. for money.

The undoubted ability cf

New Yotk to force gold homeward. If necessary, tends to utt tho European money markets. The financial world ef New York as well as that rt Paris has given abundant evidence of an appreciation of the reflox harm that may come from that. The recovery of sterling exchange in New York during th week has relieved the pressure for gold. This reovery was due In part to the demand from bankers to cover imports of gold and in part to the falling off In the supply of cotton bills. The reaction In the price cf cotton has led to a reduced cash demand from foreigners, pending more settled con

ditions, but It has also led to reduced demands on New York from the South for currency. A renewal of the extraordinary demand for cotton would cause a re.-umptlon of Southern demand for currency. Hut the effect of the current demand for gold on London is feared. The current ease of money in London is called fictitious, dui to the distribution of government credits. The disquiet of the Bank of England authorities) over the future Is seen in their effort to stiffen rite, by borrowlnz frcm the open market. In view of the strength of the financial position in France the large movement of gold from London to Paris during the week may possibly be in fulherance of this iolicy of conserving money supplies for future requirements, as the Bank. of France has recorded its determination to re lease its reserves for the avoidance of anr money crisis. The Imperial Bank cf Germany has ma terially strengthened Its position during the week, and has that far relieved the pro-pect. In the prospect of a considerable further movement of currency to the West, and the expectation of any active, demand for money for business which is waiting until after election. the assurances conveyed by the secretary cf the treasury leave no ground to fear that government surplus revenue collections will be allowed to precipitate a money crisis. But future business requirements are felt to be sufficiently large to enjoin continued caution In encroaching on available credits for purely speculative pur poses. Business In bonds has been considerably larger, and prices of many issues ha advanced. United States new fours advanced and refunding twos: and old fours U per cent, over the call of a week ago.

The volume of business on the wholesale streets In the week ended Oct. 20 was. In most Urea, highly satisfactory, with a strong, steady tone to prices as a rule. Especially Is this re mark true of dry jrooda and groceries. Thi leather and hide market-i are working Into bet ter condition, but no change In prices has yet been effected. Ergs are In active request at prices quoted, and choice butter meets with ready aale at quotations. The poultry market is weak, on large receipts. Apples are firmer n tone, and with this are Improving in Quality. Cranberries have an advancing tendency. Irish potatoes. If good stock, readily bring our quota tions. Sweet potatoes aro steady. Cabbage Js firmer. Celery weak and inferior In quality. Flour Is weak, but not quitably charged. There Is a good demand for provisions, especially breakfast bacon and sides, which are scarce The demand for army use is heavy, which accounts for tho stromr position cf these special Pne. The seed market Is active, with prices firm. Clover seed Ij tending to a further ndvaiue. On Commission row a fair business was transacted last week, but the trade was not satisfactory as on the wholesale streets in oth.-r lines. The !al grain market Is rot showlna the actllty that it bhoul.i when all arrivals ore o rc.nuy taken and witn the prospects for lower prices for corn later.

WEATHER HELPED PRICES

WHEAT GAIXED 'QUARTER OP A CEXT OX TIIK DAY. Cash Sales Strengthened Corn Oats Followed the Mnjor Cereal Little Change In Hog Products. CHICAGO, Oct. 20. Unsettled weather in the Northwest was mainly responsible for a small advance In wheat to-day, December closing over yesterday. Corn closed Mc and oats c higher. Provisions at the close were unchanged to 2 Vic up. Aside from one or two moderate spurts of activity wheat was a quiet market throughout the curtailed Saturday session. Aside from rather heavy selling by a prominent buyer yesterday the market was without feature. Offerings were absorved by trie local crowd. Sellers were Influenced by lower cables, while the buying had as Its motive unsettled weather In the Northwest, a better general demand for flour at Minneapolis and a report aaeertlng that threefourths of the North Dakota crop had already been marketed and that the crop this season was "practically no good," many not getting their seed back. December opened He lower at 7414c to 7414Q7414C, and sold to 74c. the first hour. Then the market gradually worked. up to 74 744c and closed firm 14 c higher at 74c. Cash sales here and at the seaboard were light. Heavy world's shipment figures and an increase In the visible are expected to be shown Monday. Seaboard clearances In wheat and flour were equal to 53S.0O0 bu. Primary receipts aggregated 1,059,000 bu, compared with 1,017,000 bu last year. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 60G cars, against 486 last week and 715 a year ago. Local receipt were 193 cars, seven of which graded contract. Corn was moderately active and firm, the bull sinews of war coming mainly from a good cash demand, although steady cables and light country offerings were also items friendly to the price. There was good buying nearly all the session by commission houses, particularly those with seaboard connections. Shorts covered moderately, figuring that to-day's cash sales were additions to the heavy export business done yesterday and the day before, both here and at the seaboard. Receipts were 526 cars. December sold between 3514c and 25c, closing 4c up at 35c. Oats were quiet but firm, helped by the wheat and corn strength, light country offerings and a prospect of wet weather. Receipts were 2C3 cars. December sold between 211 j 22c and 22c, closing He higher at 224c. lTovisIons were quiet but firm. Hog receipts were light and prices at the yards higher. The cash demand was fair, but not quite as active at It has been recently. Packers, however, were buyers of lard and ribs for future delivery. That hog receipts were only 6.000 under those of the week previous, although prices have dirped 60 cents, is a consideration of a bearish tinge In the provision pit. January sold between $11.40 and $11.45 and closed unchanged at $11.40; January lard betwten $0.65 and $6.70, closing 2,ic higher at $6.67', and January ribs between JG.02i and $6.05, with the close 24c up at $6.024 r6.05.

Cattle Receipts, 100; shipments none. The supply cf cattle was smaller than on Saturday recently, but about as large as the average at this time in the week. The market was quiet, but local killers finally bought all the supply at quotably steady prices. The market this week has not shown any new features, that is. the conditions have not been materially different from those prevailing last week. The supplies have been comparatively small, and with some inquiry from all sources there has been a little stronger tendency in the market for choice stock. There has also been a little better demand for good feeding stock, and current prices have been more satisfactory to the selling interest. Quotations: Good to prime steers, 1,530 lbs and upward $5.250 5.75 Fair to medium steers, 1,350 lbs and upward 4.63??

The market opened with a very fair demand from all points, but the demand from outside sources was of no Importance, and naturally local buyers were Inclined to be a little Indifferent. Salesmen were asking a little stronger prices, but they were soon convinced that It would be impossible to advance values, and Anally they accepted yesterday's prices, and the supply was exhausted in good season. A few special orders for heavy butcher hogs were responsible for higher prices for that class, but of course such sales could hardly be considered a criterion of the market. The close was steady at current prices.

There was a small supply of sheep and lambs, and with fair competition between local butchers a good clearance was made early At quotably steady prices. The market this week has been attended with a little better demand from all points, which has made it possible to get a shade stronger prices for choice stock, but the average, considering quality, was not much better than last week. Lambs showed the most strength and sold at the highest prices current in the last two weeks.
