NO FEARS S TO ANY MARKED £ CY. The circular of Henry Clews, under date of New York, September 24, says: **The past week has been marked by continued duilness and some irregularity in prices: ‘Bear' operators have availed themselves of the fact that, though the money market is in a sub- stantially sound position, yet the further de- cline of $3,000,000 in surplus reserve shown in the last statement evidenced that the turn to had not yet arrived; and this inference has been confirmed by an ad- vance in the rate of interest on call loans. This encouraged attack upon certaln industrials, with some effect; but, upon the more ulnblle les, prices have been on the whole fairly ::i:‘::ln»df‘ and the week closes with a more peful feeling. Bopeia! money market has reached a point at which & turn toward ease can be @ matter of 2 tew more duys. Each day of the week the Bub-Treasury has been a large debtor at the ‘clearing-house, and the amount of money sent fo the interior has been quite nominal. The great factor portending ease, The activity of the gold movement from U he close of yesterday the fore for the shipment of gold to York aggregated close upon $14,000,000. B end of nexet week the whole of that have found its way into the city banks; and the large supply of export bills coming forward indicates further large importations of metal. don feels the loss of specle rather acutely, there are reports that the Bank of Eng- 1L | | i however, has been | | | find, in addition to Thursday's advance in the | Tute of interest to 3 per cent, may resort to bor- | rowing gold on cons but the drain is not fikely to be checked much until the imports o! gold here have depressed the local rate of In , when relief may ling bills for terest below that of L om New York come | transient investme: The source of relief to London is not Y .to be forthcoming, how- ever, until a conslderable furthe amount of €old’ has been sent hither and the rate for ioney further emhanced in’ London. In any event, the wheels are already set in motion of @ movement which will end in an easy money market here that may reasonably be expected 1o continue for many months to come. Should any unforeseen contingencies pravent this re- eult, it is well known that the Secretary of the Treasury stands ready to anticipate his interest payments by disbursing the January interest on the old 4 per cent loan amounting to $5,566,- 468, The November payments are also likely to be anticipated if there y need. - Interest then becomes due on $1 400 in new 4 per cent bonds, on $100,000,000 of the 5 per cents of 1634, and upon the whole of the new 3 per cent loan of $200,000,000. arious Interest pay- ments will call for $4,37 These facts make sseurance of further ease doubly sure.

The bears, | \flushed with their recent successes, attempted to make it interesting for their opponents at the outset and effected a break In Tobacco and Sugar. The latter went down on the announce- ment of a reduction in grades of the product, but heavy supporting orders turned the mar- ket. Subsequently fluctuations were very ep- ratic, in sympathy with the changes elsewhere, but the stock rebounded strongly and ended at the top. The futile efforts of the shorts to in- fiict damage upon the railway list caused the traders to range on the long side for a turn and bullish sentiment became more marked. Absorption of the standard dividend stocks-has been in progress lately by interests capable of holding them until comes clearer and outside conferénce regarding “the tendency of the money market was.restored. Consequently the apparent diminution in the the: general situation be- | | to 5, floating supply of stock caused a momentary | scramble and ~ values seemed to favor a belief | that the bears were playing possumi, and the maricet reached a higher level in order to make sthe 10 more acute.

It soon developed, however, that September was In good request and a very maderate supply, selling up 1%c to 70c. The advance affected the rest of the list, which in sympathy. Cash values In the Northwest ruled firm, and this was also a factor. Yesterday's Coast business was im- Tmense; 1,240,000 bushels, and exports also made a good showing, aggregating 917,000 bushels. New York wired that the United Kingdom and Continent were buyers to-day and that accept- liberal. Foreigners were also credited with purchases in this mar- 324,000 bushels notwithstanding ket. Primary receipts were smaller than a year ago, liberal arrivals in the Northwest. The bearish showing of the Liverpool closing cables created change in sentiment and prices here receded, although Paris closed 5@10 centimes higher.
