The opening decline was general and was reflected from abroad. Both tobacco and sugar went down at the openins, | but Sugar reached the point of resistance and encountered large buying which put the bears on mettle again. They covered quite freely, and ran the price up to 112. Urgent demand then stopped for the day, but the range was held above last night's close. Tobacco dropped off 3% points to 114%, and closed at about the lowest. The continued disposition of Northern | Pacific to sag also checked any upward tend- | ency and discouraged activity in the rallroad list. There was a conspicuous movement in the late dealings In Louisville and Southern preferred. Trade attributed this to the pros- | pects of relief from the yellow fever by the | coming of cold weather, but in the case of | Southern railroads there were reports of an ap- | proaching_dividend declaration. The pleking | ©p of high grade dividend stocks in small lots as a continued healthful feature of the mar- ket A feature of the dealings in the outside | market was the new Federal Steel Company, | the securities of which are to be listed on the | Stock Exchagge Mondey. The stock market en- Joved a brief upward reaction toward the mid- | dle of the week owing to a recovery in the | a which has exercised an un- | for some time past; but of weakne; in’ the to surmises whether their re. not due simpl; 8 bear speculatio without even the outstanding _short ¥- to the closing o leaving them for the future sustaining force of a large | interest. The advance in | the general list has halted on account of this | doubt in spite of the many undercurrents of strength which have manifested themselves. | y 5 a general confidence in the strength of cial and business outiook so that when | began {0 advance on the strength | announced acquisition of an opposl- | plug tobacco plant _and Sugar | gave evidence of resistance to the long decline with the reported advance in | price of low grade refined sugars and Northern Pacific was heavily bought by the same brok- | ers whose eariler selling wak sald to represent | inside conflicting interests the small room traders all turned from bears to bulls, and large financial interests proceeded to bid up the price of properties in which they were inter- ested right merrily. But Sugar, Northern Pa- cific and Tobacco all turned downward again and brought to the surface only more the ele- ments of doubt and hesitation. It is accepted as the natural order of things in Wall street that there shall be a period of dullness and reaction preceding a Congres- sional or Presidential election. There ls felt to be room for some uneasiness also over the foreign political situation, the domestic un- rest in France, the Anglo-French situation, ihe conflict of interests which may be precipi- tated by the extraordinary events in China and the money stringency in Berlin, The latter part of the week has aeen a relapse into dull- ness in the Stock Txchange and a renewal of bear tactics which Is always a feature of bull markets, The events of the week in financial circles were the advance in Bank of England's minimum rate of discount from 3 to 4 per cent, the sharp rise In the private discount rate in London in response to - bank’s borrowings from the market and the rise in the rate of e change in London and Paris. The effect h: been while the demand and cable transfers on London have hardened in New York those {n Paris and Berlin have fallen In spite of the advance in discount rate of the imperial Ger- man bank to § per cent and -~ Austrian bank to 4% per cent on Monday. It Is clear enough that the Bank of England is maneuvering to Tobacco of the tion | | N'Y Centrai ‘ists | the week ending October 15, money rates in New York are tending steadily downward, £o0 that money in cheaper here than except Paris. The g1 ing accumulated Th this ~-~rntry’s favor in- stead of being drawn upon is left at interest. | The week's increase of $10,023,300 in loans by New York banks must be accounted for in large part by the investment movement in sterling exchange. The September trade statement ghows a favorable trade balance of over $42,- 000,000, for nine months past of $393.955,091, and for twelve months past of $598,581,330. The past week’s demand for grain for ex- | port, future engagements of vessel room and offerings of future exchange against grain de- liveries, seem to fix the conviction that the | world will absorb our large surplus of wheat at good prices and thus insure a further large increase in the country’s heavy trade balance. The market for railroad bonds has been | rather dull, but there has been a good demand for high grade {nvestment bonds. United States new fours advanced 3%; do coupon and the old fours coupon, ¥; the threes and flves, i, while the old fours registered declined % | in’ the bid price.

W YORK, Oct. —The Financier says: Owing to the heavy increase of $6,337,400 in the business of New York clearing house banks for reserve require- The gain ments rose four millions and over. | of $5,000,000 in cash, due to receipts of specte, more than counterbalanced the extra require- ment on reserve account, so that in the face of an expansion of $10,023,300 in loans, the surplus cash in banks increased nearly $1,000,000. This, it Is needless to say, is a very favorable show- ing. The changes, as usual, can be traced to the operations of @ few banks, one institution having made about half the new loans and gained accordingly in deposits. But aside from this, there seems to have been a general de- mand for accommodation that has swelled the total of a large number of Institutions. The anks report a firmer demand for money from he interior, and their shipments last week aggregated perhaps $2,000,000. On the other hand, the treasury disbursements and receipts from’ abroad resuited in a gain in cash about as reported in the statement. The increase in loans as reported was much heavier than had been anticipated, and caused some surprise. It cannot be set down to transactlons with the treasury, as its bond transaction is about closed. 'The general business conditions and the speculative situation do not seem to war- rant the sudden actlvity in this particular, and it is probable that the loans reflect an accumu- | lation of foreign credits in the form of long | sterling_bills, rather than domestic transac- tions. The position of international exchanges, owing to advancing rates abroad, and the heavy demand for grain, will tend nevitably to the postponement of gold imports and their conversion into sterling loans. This does not mean that the balancé owing to the United States abroad will be settled without gold im- ports, but that the brocess of borrowing by rope will be repeated. The record of Sep- ember exports, which were exceeded only once for the same month in the history of the coun- try, and of imports, which continue to show dirinution, indicate & balance at the end of the year over that of any known. What the balances of the last year meant is best read in the records of gold fmports. 1o indicate that the same process is not to be repeated, but with about $90,000,000 of treasury money in the banks it is difficult to say how soon the effect of 1898 exports will thus be One thing is certain, there is nothing ghown. | in the situation to indicate an advance in rates, as the treasury policy tends to the opposite result. LONDON MARKET. NEW YORK, Oct. 16.—The Evening Post's London financial cablegram says: The stock markets here were quiet to-day with a great tmprovement. Americans were exceptionally dull on the New York lead, but the absence of sales by that market caused a favorable dis- position here. There is much uncertainty as to whether New York s buying gold or not. Half the press, for example, say this morning that New York Dbought yesterday's gold arrival from the Cape, while the others say that Berlin bought it. From reliable quarters I learn that New York is not buying for the moment; indeed, an in- formal report is- current that New 'York i lending money in the market. Spanish 4s an Katfirs were better on Paris improvement. CLOSING., Canadian Pacific, §5; Grand Trunk, 7%: Bar silver, steady, 27 11-16d; Money, 3 per cent. YORK GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.—Before the opening re- ports were received from Liverpool that the market there had recovered all that it lost yesterday. The news had an appreclable ef- | fect on the early trading here, first sales be- [ ing_at an advance overnight of }3@%c. 2 Though they continued to send reports o large export engégements the news had much | less Influence than usual, the prevailing opin- ion belng that week yere very much exaggerated and that the | advicés to-day might be duplicated. One un favorable feature of the market, and one which had a great deal of influence 'in shaping the | course of prices, was the weakening of the cash grain in the N | Minneapolis of a pause in the demand for flour. | The primary market receipts for the day were | 1,552,000 bushels, agalnst 1,203,000 a year ago. | The reports of the export engagements at the | seaboard finally ran up to 108 boatloads. This was entirely ignored, however, and the market continued to weaken during the last half hour, influenced by lack of speculative demand and free liquidating by discouraged longs. De- cember closed at 6414@64%c, lower. A sharp up turn at Lives ol caused corn to | sell at the highest price touched on the pres- {ent rise. Commission houses executed a falr number of buying orders, but the demand proved insufficlent to hold the market, there | Pefng considerable long property for sale and one or two prominent interests selling quite | freely.

The mill was shut down Oc- tober 4 for repairs at the power plant and the accumulation of water. At about 5 &. m. on Heavy salted | October 5 fire was discovered by the speclal | watchman in the boller room. A fire extin- guisher was of no avall. Owing to the dry condition of the mill the building was on fire in a few minutes. Water was put on quickly, but all that could be done was to save the adjolning bullding, new cyanide plant and of- fices. These were but little damaged. Fortu- nately, it being about the first of the month, there was no accumulation of amalgam in the mill safe and what ore and concentrates were on hand can be recovered. Work in the mine has been suspended awaiting adjustment of in- surance. No. 1 cyanide plant is running as usual and treated 300 tons of tailings during the week. The mill records were lost in the fire. The amalgam produced for the week amounted to 563 ounces. Twelve men are at Green Creek at work on generator foundation repairs. STOCK AND BOND EXCHANGE.
