The natural effect of the plethora of money and the low rates of Interest would be the retirement of bank circulation. This effect was apparent on Monday in the deposit by New York banks for corresindents of $2.0'W,CU0 for the retirement of circulation, or two-tnirus of the amount allowed by law in any one month. But at tne tame time there is a movement i-jr tile incrtae of circulation by bangs wrucn have nau United States oeposits tHKtn away from tnein lor the Panama p..ymei)t?. and piefer to turn the uonua into money in this wuy, at least lempoiaruy, ratner than to risk loss by stlling them at the mantel. Moreover, the prospect tnt Congiess will make the 2 per cent, bonus to be issued tor the construction of tne i'uiuma canal available lor circulation upon the ame terms as the consols of Ijov is not a cheerful one for tbo Lanks tnal have paid a piemium lor the consols, unless they can Keep tht-m in use as security tor circulation until maturity, during which time tne premium can be Winten oft gradually. 'Ine l'anau.a bonus cannot be sold at par unless the circulation to be based upen them is taxed only , of 1 per cent, per annum and In order to get the benertt of this low tax the banks must issue circulation Ujoti them. Banks which nnd ciiculation unprofitable are reducing It as fast as the law will permit. Other banks which hoped to enjoy the uao of government ceposits are substituting their own notes for the United States money w Undrawn. The problem tnus suggested will beccme utgent when the government deposits In banks are being drawn down to their normal amount In tho years beiore the Spanish war. of about ten aays' collections of Internal revenue, or $15.UW.0;o to $2t,0Xi,ojo. There can be but one result of such an Increase In national bank circulation as will be made almost comiulsory by such withdrawal of United States deposits, thus releasing not less than $70.000,(00 consols of D30, and the issue of the Panama 2 per cent, bonds with equal rights to an unknown amount, and that Is the expoit of gold erough to make room for the r.ew circulation. The present condition of the exchange market may be inrluenced quite as much by the superfluous bank note circulation as by anything else. Exchange. 4"The whole-subject of the deposit of government money in the national banks takes on a new Interest by reason of the recent call by the secretary of the treasury for the withdrawal of 2-. per cent, of these oeiosits," says the Wallstreet Journal. "This is the largest amount that has ever been taken out of the depository banks at one time. As Is well known, tne money has been witharawn from different banks in different parts of the country ana deposited, temporarily, in ten large institutions in this city, pending the pay men of the Panama canal. This has resulted in a large accumulation of government deposits here. Meanwhile the Panama canal payment has Wen deiayed by legal entanglements In Paris, and it is still uncertain how soon the payment can be made. The money thus remains in these ten banks, whica are able to make such use of It as they please In the money market, and what they havo clone with it is in part disclosed by the statement given elsewhere, snowing an expansion of loand by these banks since Jan. 22 of over f J1.0WI.W. "The deposits of government money in the national b&nka wai a practice Introduced by .Secre tary Fairchild in the first Cleveland administration. On Sept. 1. lSJsS, the money thus deposited in the banks had reached the sum of $3'J.wl,23:. The question of the wisdom of this disposition of the government money wa3 a live subject of debate in the campaign of that year. It may be recalled that James G. Blaine, in his addresses at that time, attacked severely the policy of the Democratic administration in depositing government money In favored banks. But it was also the subject of criticism upon economical grounds. S. V. White, who was tnen In Congress, said in the Houe of Representatives, speaking on the government deposits, 'that this blockhouse building, without joints or mortar, will topple over, and it will not bo safe for a business man to be too near its base.' This prophesy, it is needless to say, has not been realized, and the custom of deiHisiting the government money In the national banks lias been continued by one administration alter another, and recently the deposits have reached enormous figures, the amount now being more than $162.Coo,0oo. "Nevertheless, the discussion as to the policy of thes deposits has been revived from time to time. As long ago as 1SSS the Chronicle, in discussing this matter, said: "Some alarm has been expressed lest these accumulating amounts In depository banks may, when drawn against, cause disturbance. We think the anxiety .on that account is wholly uncalled for. When any part Is checked out by the government, it will be simply for government disbursements, and will not be taken out of ths banks, but pass from one. bank to another like any other deposit; It will remain In the channels of trade all the time. The distributing of it will be a slow process any way, and can be so timed and apportioned among the Institutions holding the funds as not to cause the least commotion. 4- -f "Without going too deeply Into the subject at this time. It Is clear that government deposits In tfee banks must be viewed rather as a necessary evil than as a positive benefit. They can be jurtlfled only on the ground that a large treasury surplus held in the treasury vaults is money withdrawn from commercial uses and thus a burden to business. The test way of getting it Into circulation, and making it of the largest use. Is. perhaps, to deposit In the banks, where IV can be made the basis of credit. Nevertheless, this system gives rise to many evils. The deposits are In the nature of loans without Interest of government money to the banks receiving It. Its withdrawal at one time would be impossible! cn account of the disturbance that It would create to business. "The largo Increase in the government depot-its in this city In preparation for the Panama canal payment, is an object lesson of some of the evils attending this system. It Is responsible, in part, for the expansion In loans, and at a time when expansion Is to be deplored, and there Is reason to believe that It contributes largely to the export of gold when it was hoped to conduct the whole oieratlon of paying for the canal without exports." THE COTTON MARKET. NEW YORK. April 8. The cotton market opened at an advance of S'gS points, following consideiably better cables than expected". There was little demand and very soon after the opening renewal of selling by the same interests who recently have been prominent on the bear i-ide of the market, ease' prices off to a little under the closing figures of last nlxM. when the continued lisht movement and rejtorts of a petter spot demand from New Orleans, together with less favorable weather reported fiom the Southwet, caused a rally that was increased somewhat srounl midday b- buying on the ftrong showlr.c of the weekly figures. In the ml'lile of the afternoon another lear raid took place, driving May down to about ll.7e and July to 14.33c. or about the elosfn prices r.f the prt-vloua nljtht. This was followed by a sharp recovery on covering as a result of I rather more active Southern spot markets, better spot business In tne local market and reports of heavy exports from Ntw Orleans. The close was steady, at practically the best prices of the dsy. an advance of 29 points on the spot month and of ?fj!3 points on other iositions. Sales were only 250.CO0 bales, the smallest day's business this season.

Blizzards, with an official forecast of a cell wave, caused active buylnjr of wheat to-day. There w-as a net gain of Vj'ic In the July delivery. Corn is up U'ü4". oats He and provisions öc to Weather conditions were the chief consideration with wheat trade. With storms in the West, Northwest and central valleys, apprehension was rife concerning farming operations. Apparently the fact that moisture was greatly needed did not at first appeal to the majority of traders. The market opened firm with July a shade to 4c higher at S7ViiS7;c. Cables, however, were weak, and It was i.ot long before sentiment seemed to change in regard to the weather. What was at first regarded as a bull factor became a weakening Influence. Some of the big operators had wheat for sale on the Initial advance. It was principally long wheat and the selling was done seemingly under the impression that the situation warranted a decline. Crop reports from two private authorities were bear;rh. 5hov ing an Improvement in the condition of the growing w heat. For a time there was quite gcneial selling under the influence of which July reacted to M'iS5c. MARKET HAS QUICK RECOVERY. Later in the session the market had a quick recovery. A eold wave was predicted by the Weather Bureau, and reports were received stating that the temperature had drorped below the freezing point in northern Kansas. Advices from the Northwest were extremely bullish. Heavy snow was reported to have fallen in the Red river country. An advance of l4c at Minneapolis helped to stimulate the demanl for wheat here, unusual activity resulting luring the last hour. July sold up to SSVhC and closed strong at Sft'Ssc. May ranged between 94c and 93Vc and closed at .Vic. Clearances of wheat and flour for the week, as reported by Bradstreefs, were equal to 1.854.4"0 bu. Primary receipts were ä33.60 bu. against h holiday last year. Minneapolis. Duluth and Chicago rojHrted receipts of 244 cars, compared with holidays last week and a year ago. CORN MARKET WEAK. Unfavorable weather for the movement caused a firm opening In corn, but there was a strong disposition to sell at the Improved prices, and with little support the market soon weakened. The dt-cline was partly due to lower Liverpool rabies and partly to the Inactivity of the leading bull trader. Later her was sood buying by a blsr holler and by provision houses, resulting: in a rally of nearly, a cent. On scattered selling, however, nearly all of the gain was lost. The Ute strength In wheat caused a firm ton at the close. July opened c to sc higher at 31'jc to SlSc After selling between 51Vc and 32lic. the close was-at SHiiP 31c. Ma ranged between 53ic and and closed at Z2c. Local receipts were 134 cars, with SC of contract grade. OATS STRONG. Oats were strong on local buying and on covering by shorts. Weather conditions favored higher prices, although crop reports were moderately bearish. Small receipts and a good cash demand were prominent bull factors. Strength In wheat was a late influence. July opened unchanged to sc higher, at 374'Q38Vic. sold between Z'sc and 3S3,c. and closed at SSc. Local receipts were 63 cars. PROVISIONS FIRM. An increased Investment demand ras largely resjtonsible for a firm provision market. Small receipts of hogs and late firmness in grains were instrumental in bringing out the improved demand. The market closed firm, with July pork 10c to I2c higher, at $12.9."ftl2.97Vi. July lard was up 10c, at tt.92'i. and ribs 5c, at J6.S5. leading futures ranged as follows: Articles. OpenWheat ir.g.

STOCKS NOT SO ACTIVE

INDICATIONS THAT PRESEXT ADV.iXCC HAS T E It 31 1 X AT E D. Selling of I'nlon Pacific and Steel Preferred Suggests that Speculative Campaign Is Ended. Sales of stock shares öiG,HH) Correspjnuii? day last year (iood t-'jrttluy Sales to catt thu year t4ift5J,l4, To corresponding Gate last year - 4,Iio,JtiO NEW YORK. April S.-To-day's stock market was similar in character to that of yesterday, with a few s;pots of -aggressive strength and with a pressure to sell at other points for realization of profits. Dealings did not reach the recent average volume, and the strong stocks were rather less effective in sustaining the market against the realizing at othr joints. To-day's conspicuous advances were In Atchison. Amalgamated Copper and Brooklyn Rapid Transit and, on a smaller volume of business. Consolidated Gas. The movement in the latter was directly due to legislation at Albany. The movement In Atchison has been foreshadowed for several days, during which joints have been published on Atchison's strong position of independence in tho transcontinental fields and the necessity of consulting it in order to maintain any harmony of action in that field. The recent great advance in Union Pacific pointed to a movement in Atchison also in compensation. The buying of Amalgamated Copper was ostensibly based on the many leports of the strong position of the copper traue. The plain evidence or stllin? of Union Pacific and United Stater Steel preferred deprived the market rf what has been its most effective support, and 'other stocks which have been successively advanced were sold In the same way. The elosinir uo of a speculative campaign was thus suggested in a way rather unpleasant to tho ; weaker followers of the late advance. puDiisneu reports of vacation trips In contemplation by some of the innuential traders on the exchange went to deepen this impression, and discourage further commitments to the long side. .The recent favorable influence trom the weather map was lacking to-day, the wintry weather in the Northwest making Its Impression In the steick market as well as in wheat. The preliminary estimates of the week's currency movement make it probable that the loss by sold exports and subtreasury operations has been mostly offset by the ree-eipts on balance from the interior bv the regular express move ment. This is without taking account of the paying out to-day by the subtreasury of nearly H.OOo.oO) on account of the Japanese, gold re-ce-ived at San Francisco. The revived activity In the stock market and the week's sales of new railroad bond Issues indicate some expansion in the lean account of the banks. The undisturbed ease In the money market Is clear proof of abundant resources up to the present, and the bank statement attracts no special interest. After touching the lowest l-nces -.1 the day in the final hour, the stock market rallied and closed steady, but very dull. Heavy realizing in United States Steel second fives made the bond market Irregular. Total sales at par value were t2.950.00o.

April S. Follow ing the advances of London, our market this morning responded with considerable activity. Amalgamated Copper preferred, Atchison. Rock Island issues and other specialties scored sharp advances. Steel securities, after a cor.tinur.l rise of a week, showed profit taking, though transactions were limited. Union Pacific and Southern Tactfic were also reactionary In to-day's trading, and it might be said that the declining tendency in the general market after the forenoon session was entireiv due to iTOlit taking, in anttclj.tion of an unfavorable bank statement to-mor- 1 row. which is a technical factor. Loans will expand materially and a decrease in reserve Is expected. Copper was a feature and continued f accumulation seemed apparent, ing.-ei for Copper are anticipated the coming week. Sugar is fluctuating within a narrow range, being bought and sold by the trading element on the flor. The daily operations are at a minimum In this stock, but our opinion Is that much actlvltv will be seen later and a materially higher price seen. The activity In Steels may have ceased for time being, but we do not favor the short side on these ' securities, except for turns, as a heavy short" Interest still exists In Steel preferred, and at these figures will continue to accumulate. Meyer & Kiser.J NEW YORK. April S.-During the afternoon session of the Fjock market to-day dullness prevailed and a reactionary tone developed. Practically every stock on the list eared off from the high prices, and the selling at times, though limited, was quite general. There was no direct explanation of the decline unless It be profit taking. That would scarcely be sufficient, bowever, to account for the loss, and some short selling was undoubtedly indulged in by the bearish contingent. Sentiment on the whole continues bullish, but there are many rumors of, selling by the erstwhile bullish contingent. ' So far as we can learn the poweis that be In stock f-peculatlon are inclined to be bullish, and certainls there has been no change in conditions warranting a reversal of sentiment. Money continues extremely easy, and It is likely to remain so for a long time. It is to the Interest of the banks to stimulate a strong market in order to find something to do with their money. During the early session to-day two stocks monojolized attention. They were Atchison and Amalgamated e'opper. Both were active and very strong. The buying of Atchison was generally regarded as good. The operations in Amalgamated Copper were almost entirely professional. Consolidated pas developed a great deal of strength, and made a sharp advance on the passage of the Bernsen bill by the Senate. This bill will have to be approved by the mayor and the Governor before it- becomes law. It Is not at all certain that it will receive the approval of both. During the greater part of the day the Rock Island issues were strong, and Inside lnfluences seemed to favor an advance In these securities. Steel preferred developed undoubted strength In the initial trading, but sold on easily before the close. Union Pacific exhibited a distinct reactionary tone. St. Paul acted comparatively well. London bought about 10,000 shares on balance, trading largely in Steel. Realty preferred sold off easily. The preliminary estimates indicate very small gain In cash by the banks. Porterfield & Co. NEW YORK, April 8. The stock market opened strong and higher all around. There was the same buoyant feeling that has characterized the transactions for the past week, and the bull fever seemed to indicate no signs of abating. London was a buyer of Internationals, although their own market was irregular. After some further gains over the Initial figures,' the majority of the list for the first time in over a week showed some Indication of hesitation In the upward trend, and noticeably so among the Pacific group. Union Pacific and Southern Pacific were sold by those who had profits In them and broke gradually. After the noon hour the weakness In the Pacifies was Imparted to the rest of the list and a gradual Bagging of prices resulted. While there was no urgent selling movement there was a persistent liquidation of long stocks and one after another the entire list gave way. Outside of Southern Pacific and Union Pacific the pronounced weakness was In Missouri Pacific, Pennsylvania, Rock Island and St. Paul. Steel preferred and Sugar also followed the downward procession. Towards the final hour there was some little recovery, but the close was soft and near the low prices for the day. Look for some further decline In the morning", but on all quick breaks would buy stocks. BIG BOND SALES. NEW YORK. April 8. The Mexican government has sold to Speyer & Co. $6.000.000 of twoyear .44 per cent, treasury notes of the national government. A considerable part of this lot was taken by the Deutsche Bank, of Berlin. NEW YORK, April 8. The Richmond-Washington Company has sold to Kuhn. Loeb & Co. J2.500.O00 of its collateral trust 4 per cent, bonds, the total isrue of which Is $11.000.000. The Richmond-Washington Company operates a railroad from Washington, D. C, to Richmond. Va. It is Jointly owned by the Pennsylvania, Baltimore & Ohio. Southern. Seaboard Air-line, Atlantic Coast and Chesapeake & Ohio. To Reorganise Ship Company. . BOSTON, April 8.

It Is proposed to Issue $4.800,000 In stock, equally divided between common and preferred shares and to raise $1.250.000 of new money by assessing the bondholders 40 per cent, and the old preferred stock of 33-1-3 per cent.

The Commercial Bulletla will say to-morrow: Aside from the auction sales of Territory and California wools, which brought comparatively high prices, this has been a featureless wool market in Boston. In the customary channels of trade business Is distinctly quiet and prices remain steady. The clearing up of domestic fleece at slightly under the market does not Indicate general weakness. There Is no attempt to ralso prices, however. I.arge importations of Australian and South American cross-bred wools are supplying manufacturers' wants in the line of medium stock. Active operations In the new clip In NevadA have led to higher prices. Some buyers have Jumied the traces. Oiie well-known clip sold at le. or 4c higher than a year ago. Foreign markets keep strong. The shipments of wool rrom Boston to dato from Dec. 21. 1WJ. are 65.09,G67 U. against 71.5ao.921 lbs at the same time last year.
