NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. NEW YORK, April 23.—To-d market was ‘‘discounting peace, guage of brokers. prices a notch higher. The advance hesitated at the opening, owing to a reactionary ten- dency In the London market, following the re- ceipt of the report that the Paris had been captured by the Spanish and the cruiser To- peka sunk in a collision. credulous as to the capture of the Paris up to the closing of the exchange at noon, and the truth of the foundering of the Topeka not having been established, the market was re- lteved from that cause of depression. On the other hand, much was made of the capture of another Spanish prize by the cruiser New York. There was reported active demands for the stock securities In London, but the buying here for | London account was not large, as prices here | There were | ruled above the London parity. riods of reaction, but the publication of the nk statement caused renewed buyinz and lifted prices to the highest. They were shaded off by renewed apprehension as to the safety of the Paris, the closing being easy, but net gains throughout the list reaching a point In gome cases. The volume of the dealing was not large, the industrial specialties being favorites especlally Sugar and Tobacco. cks were also quite prominent. ‘The general feeling in financial circles is that the war is not likely to be protracted and only some unexpected accident or disaster could affect the conviction that Spain must speedily saccumb to superior resources. A feature of the day was the hardening in exchange de- mand, sterling bills rising to $4 §4. This rate, it is expected, precludes further gold imports under present conditions, The stock market has felt the reflected effect of the panic In Spanish 4s' in European Bourses, and the resulting forced liquigation of American securitles, yet the week closes with & greater part of the extreme losses re- covered, net declines not exceeding two points in any of the prominent leading stocks It is \ T C & Iron Do pref |U_S Leather Ontario & Do pref R & U_S Rubber Or Short Lin Do pref Pittsburg West_Union Reading ...

NEW YORK, April 23.—The Financier says: | According to the statement of the New York Clearing house banks, for the week ending of $43,525,100, which 1s larger than has been reported since the fourth week of July, 1897. This result has been brought about by the conservative action of the banks in preparing for the crisis which is now at hand. Thelr cash holdings, depleted by demand from the interior, have been replenished by imports of gold and by the contingied contraction of out- standing obligations. To-day they are in an exceedingly strong position and are ready to meet any demands which may be made upon them. The statement in detail does not differ from those of the last several weeks. The decrease of $7,439,100 in loans represents the turning of accumulated sterling into specie accounts. But little new business is being done as the rates demanded preclude any borrowing other than that which is absolutely necessary. The increases in gold were larger than the weck's receipts from abroad and it Is quite likely that the heavy expansion reflects some of the previous imports. Deposits fell off only | loss to the interior. The statement, judged by usual calculations, does not balance, but the changes are logical since the gold imports and their relations to accumulated sterling carried as loans must be taken into account. Sum- marized, the only conclusion is that the banks have perfecied a ditficult operation with rare skill. They have retrenched where neces- while strengthening their own holdings, they have put their business in first-class condition, and to-day when a call for funds by the Go ernment is imminent they have more money vaflable for the purpose than at any time during the last nine months, NEW YORK GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
