8 IS HAVING ITS GOLD CHILL | Wall Street in the Midst of the Annual Congestion of Speculation. EFFECT OF THE TERM OF ONE PENNY How a Cent Up or Down Sends Gotd Across the Atlantic—Where Isthe Myth 1 Bl ce of Trade—~Rise in Chicago Gas New York, Feb, 21— [Special Telegram to Tie Brre.)—Tao market has got its spring chill. Tt nearly always gets one about this time. in February we begin our spring ox port of gold, and in tho autumn we import Repularly for years our exports have started in February and as regularly the stock mar- kot hias been chillea by it. Half a million of gold was engaged by notber half million Saturday. [mmediately there was a sagging of prices. The bull ardor of the traders was checked. They sold stocks for both accounts, and Saturday, after the bank statement ap. peared showing an increase of £10,000,000 in the loans (due to trade movements and customary in Pebruary) and a decrease in the surplus roserve of $2,000,000, there was more selling of stocks and tho markeu closod rather weak. It may weaken more on Monday or the next day, but the big houses are not likely to allow a serious break to occur. They can handlo this market because it is still narrow and professional. The coal deal,which made transactions of over 1,000,000 shares a day, was strictly professional. Not Safe to Be On, The general public had littio part in it, and while there is nothing in sight to cause seli- in any considerablo volume by the public, the great bull houses can take care of things with but little trouble, Thero are no blocks of stock hanging over the market so large as 3 bo threatoning. To carry out the purposes of the coal com bination ‘amajority of Lackawanna stock must be hela parmanently. To the same end a majority of Reading must be held. This must lavo been calculnted when tho deal was originally planned. Itis safo to caiculate that the stock is paid for and laid away in tho strong boxes of the great capitalists The floating mnority of the stock is small compared with the _ forces avaiiable for handling it But it does not follow because the market can be held in easy control that the big capitalists and leading operators are going to start another bull movoment right away. On the contrary, they may thiuk this is a”good time to let things drift back a little; for the last part of I'ebruary and the month of March is usually a bad timo to bull stocks. 1t is the stormiest season of the year, hen the danger from storms, floods, violont changes of temperature and widespread injury is the greatest. One Cent In Then, too, there is the gold ex. difference 1n the price of a_dollar bill which makes the difference between the importing goods and exporting gold, 1s 1 per cent. One cent on f dollar is enough under normal con ditions. That is to say if a man baving a debt to pay in Lonaon finds that to buy & bill of oxchange on that placo will cest him §LOL he ean moro profitably send gold and does so. 1f, on the contrary, the man ia Londou finds that a bill on New York is 101 cents, he sonds gold instend. When a billon London costs 480 conts per £1 gold can be sent moro profit- ably, and in the spring of tho year tho de- mands of the trado generally do sond it thero. In fact gold can be and is sent out be- foro tho 489 mark s reached, as is tho case mnow. In_ the fall the case being reversed, the Loudon man paying his Now York debts sends gold rather than buy his Now York bills at 450 cents, but tke New York man who may havo to re- mit to London at that time can buy his bills at 484 conts. When, therofore, exchange is 480 conts we oxpoit, and when at 484 cents we import. “Balance of Trade' Fictions, But even this 1 per cent may be snaded, so fine have the dealers in exchange brought their calculations. At the market rate of ex- change now, 1t does not appear thore is any profitin sending out gold. But it nearly al- Ways happens that tho first transactions are 'speciul,” and it will be remembered how n vrominent treasury ofcial last spring sct out, to sternly discopntenance “'spocial” transac- tions as being obnoxious to public morality. But, now, where s our *‘balance of trade?’ ‘Wherao is the #155,500,000 that Europe owes us av this moment, according to the statistics? One Philadelphia paper recently suggested that we demand the money be returned forth- with, as we need no foreign entanglements, Some one facetiously added that tho wew mnavy might bo employed to make the demand. Anyway here we are, with a statistical balance of $155,500,000 of gold owing us. We are scliing our foreign bal- ances 1n gold just thosame as bofore, and Just as if these statistics did not show the Toreigners that they ought to be sending millions of gold to us instead of our sending somo to them, Whilo the market 1s gotting toits custo- mary spring gold chill, it is also a_littlo dis- turbed by the silver men, and perhaps thare may be some disposition to wait and see just how far these people are to be allowed to go. ‘This is another reason why the market as a whole may bo dull and possibly lower except for specialtios, Chlcago Gas Kiting, Some stocks have been exceptionally strong the last week. Western Union has, and it s ierred that at next month's meot- ing the dividend will be increased. Chicago Gas has beon largely bought by Chicago houses. It is ofcially announced that a syndicato of friends of tho company have purchased tho Economic concern, and also the natural gas propertios in Indiana and Chicago will have fuel gas sup- lled ot low cost when pro. foctoa piasa undre are perfected. It is an nstructive lesson in speculation that the people who are such persistent bears on Chi- cago Gius stock when in the fifties have lately been the lurgest buvers of it at twenty- five to thirty points® higher, There were men here wno were believers in the property and large holders of its shares, but they could do nothing singly against the Chicago bear clique. Therefore they made a little combination and put their (nterests uare servedy into tho hands of Mr. Keene, As 0on as that was done the Chicago clique were already beaten, All the little market tricks that they could play were nothiug against the skill of a man that Wall street acknowledges has pever had bis suporior 1w handling properties on the stock exchange. His skill is really a sort of intuitive genius. He never was beaten ex: copt when he boat nimself, and that was when he utterly overworked himself, He took charge of Chicago Gias stock and the mlh—l of the operation aggregato about §2,- 50,000, A large part of this was con- wibuted by the Chicago bears, who now se0 the property they condemned in [} different hight, Nor did our Mr. Keenoe make a more brilliant campaign than when he took that discreditea stock in the dfties and carried it up easily and safely to a figure more nearly corresponding to the dividends it pays, Richmond Terminal Noxt, ‘The next big thing to be done in the mar- ket is the floating of the Richmond Terminal securities, and the chances are that iv will be successfully done. It 1s in the main a re- fundiog operation, and if holders of the ex- isting seourities see such plan is good thoy may accept it for want of a better one, if for no other reaso Erle securities may be good for a rise when the market is in the right shape.

Wheat Was Quite Dulland Generally Lower Yesterday. ©RICAGO. Tl Feb. 20.—The wheat market was dull and generally lower today. Tele- grapbic comnmunication was serlously inter- fered with, and trades wore left largely to thelr own devices. Bid weathor in Great Britain played havoe with the wires, similar to thosa felt In this country. and the Board of Trade did not receive its Livorpool wmurkets until late In the day, though some private Aispatehes sald the market was quiet and un- changed, whilo others quoted pricos ensier, The board’s London cabZe noted no change in values there, but Liverpool, which was re- coived, was 1d lower. Domestle markets were alllower. Crop news was somewhat conflict- Ing, many private dispatohes being very dis- couraging. On the contrary, the Furmers' Reylew had a summary of the sltuation, which was unexpectedly favorabie. and the weather reports Indicited that the dunger from the predicted cold wavo was past. The committee of the hoard which was sent to Washington to oppose the anti-option bill roturned this morning and its members were inclined to the opinion that the bill would be probably passed by the house. ‘This doubtless nad somothing to do with the weakness whic prevailed during most of the session. On th whole tho prices were disinclined to deal heavily on either side and the result was an unusually small business. The fluctuations wero continod to w narrow range. Cudihy was & good buyer of wheat at the start and frosseun also bought freely, Pardridge was believed to be covering some ‘wheat on all the weak spots. but did not mike much reduction inhis Iine. The Now Yorkers were porhaps the | best | buyers for the first hour and pleked up u gool donl. Tne selling was not urgent, stiil this was about all 1o be had that was wanted. The longs let go of a good deal and there was some short sales. The export moven not very encour: New York hay cleared hut'106,000 bu. und other points hi any. Bradstreet’s roported the clearances of wheat nnd flour from both cousts last week at A0FL000 bu. azalnst 364,000 bu. the week pro- vious.
