EASTERN MARKETS. and _vicinity—Cloudy and with occasional showers; NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. YORK, Oct. 22.—The stock market showed itself independent of the de- ng influence of London and Europe, ex- cept at the opening, when a few of the inter- national stocks were allowed to fall below the London parity he selling of London stock on foreign account made up for a considerable fon of the day's business and was weil | t an advance at long prices. buoyancy of the wheat market made the grain- carrying roads prominent in the movement, the buying of the Atchison securitles, particularly the preferred, again occupying a conspicuous place. But the stocks of all the Western roads were well bought and advanced in price. Sugar ended its downward course very early and closed near the top, with a net galn of 1%, the underlying strength manifest In the market making the bears timid about leaving short contracts uncovered over Sunday. Tobacco also was marked up to with every evidence of violent manipulation, and shorts were driven to cover heavily at every stage of the advance. Even the coalers showed the effects of the uncertain temper developed by the bears and made recoveries on short offerings. The bank statement was just about as expected, and had little effect one way or the other. The ain in cash had been in imported gold and £ Outgo from the sub-treasury, and the heavy increase in loans of over $10,000,000 represents for the most part loans on steriing, which is an element in the tendeacy of the lending of money. The increase of deposits {rom this source expanded the reserve requirements so far that the increased cash only served to ralse the surplus by $3.750, Business in #tocks and bonds was 11 distributed and ac- tive and the market showed a decided ten- dency to broaden out. The amount of busi- ness done was larger than for any half day for some time. The market has shown growing strength and activity as the week advanced, and has fairly shaken off the lethargy which even the long array of favorable factors in the situation has seemed powerless to awaken It from. Even so phenomenal a showing as St. Paul's earnings for the second week in October, the largest in the road’s history, and ncarly $140,000 over those of last year, served only to encourage a feeble resistance to the industrious manipul tion for & decline of the board room traders in stocks. It is a maxim of professional traders that a dull and sagging market for stocks is bound to produce a general reaction. The un- certainty of the European political situation was sighted as additional argument for a sea- son of dullness and declines. But curiously gnough, the more threatening developments of Furopean politics have, Indirectly at least, given the stimulus to the stock market which enabled It to shake off its torpidity. The week's events in financial circles have in fact given a striking demonstration of the strength of this country’s financlal position and its power to treat with indifference the Old World developments. There has been nothing In the domestic sifuation which has caused more doubts to financiers than the low price in prospect for wheat when the crop, tempor- arily held back, sheuld come forward. But this ‘week has seen the crop coming forward in un- recedented volume. Yet so keen has been he foreign demand for our product that the largely augmented primary movement has made but little impression on the visible supply. Even the domestic demand proves unexpectedly keen, indicating that the sweeping out of the world’s reserves by last year's high prices had_evidently left a void Which our unprece- dented demand was needed to fill. The later news of the military and naval preparations in France, and to-day in England, resulted in a feverish demand for wheat, which is main- tained, would mean incalculable advantage to this country, already enriched by last year's bountiful harvest at high prices. The pros- perity of the Western country from this cause is conclusively demonstrated by the large Western movement of merchandise which car- | ried earnings of Western railroads well above last year's level and even before the resump- tion of the grain movement. The week's recov- ery in stocks logically begun, therefore, among those of the Western grain carrying roads, and owing to Individual causes Atchison prefer- red took a leading place in the movement. The money markets have shown themselves equally impervious to the influence of the stringency existing_in Furopean centers, the Bank of France being the last of the Government alded institutions to advance its discount rate, which it did on Tuesday from 2 to 3 per cent. Meantime, the large excess of our exports over imports, which the graln and cotton move- ment aided, had been making exchange, and instead of drawing this, it has been left at in- terest, mostly in Germany, to be liquidated in the future. The money stringency and the war scare abroad have thrown mot far from 100,000 shares and un- | The | both | | Ala class Atchison 4s ..

But these have been absorbed at advancing prices and with money rates declining. ~Foreign markets are known to be pretty well stripped of the usual floating supply of American securitles. But the conceivable result in the event of actual war in Europe and the tapping for liguidation of the vast amounts of American securities held abroad for investment does not leave the situation free from uneasiness. The bond market has improved in sympathy with stocks as the week progressed and prices have recovered from early depression.

The changes that in five weeks brought an expan- sion in the surplus reserve from $4,240,400 to $23,412,325 and swelled the deposits nearly $46,- 000,000 have been so rapid that thefr signifi- cance is not fully appreciated. They empha- size the return to easler conditions, due in part to the liberal policy of the treasury with re- position of the United States with regard to in- ternational exchange. While European dis- counts last week moved up American money rates receded. As a natural consequence in- vestments in sterling bills, now coming for- ward rapidly, afforded a safe profit, and that this was taken advantage of is seen in the in- Ccrease of $10,607,000 in loans reported for the week. Specie receipts, both from Europe and the Pacliic Coast, were considerable and the sub-treasury’s operatlons were in favor of the banks. This accounts for the gain of $8,105,- 09 in gold. The interfor movement, what little there was of it this fall, seems at an end and the flow of money is again in this direction. The In- crease of $307,700 in legals is to be attributed to receipts from this source. The heavy gain in deposits, in view of the loan and cash changes, is just about normal. The statement in detail presents nothing that controverts the analysis already given. The national banks, s usual, show the heaviest gains, and the aggregate expansions of de- osits can be traced for the most part to seven anks, the bulk of the new loans falling to the same institutions. It ie interesting to note, however, that the Central National, an insti- tution with large commercial _connections, shows up unusually well in the gains for the week, indicating a revival in business activity that is quite as important as anything else the statement reveals. With an assured supply of money and a steadily growing trade balance it would not be surprising to see the totals of the New York banks expand rapldly from this time on, even If the course of speculation seemed to be checked for the present. LONDON MARKET. NEW YORK, Oct. 22—The Evening Post’s London financial cablegram says: The stock markets here opened dull to-day, then rallied slightly, but finallv closed flat on the politi- cal situation. Business here so far as the public is concerned is quite at a standstill, and is likely to remain 5o until some definité turn comes in the political situation. The pro- fessionals are also nervous and are contract- ing speculation to the marrowest umit. The London market discount rate s 3% per cent and very firm on the Bank of England’s control of the market. I learn, however, that New York is undoubtedly making advances to this market for about three months. CLOSE: Canadian Pacific, 83; Grand Trunk, 6%. Gold 1s quoted ‘at Buenos Ayres to-day at 149.50.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. CHICAGO, Oct. 22.—An advance of 1%@2d in the price of wheat at Liverfpol and no note- worthy decline in consols made a decldedly strong and, higher market for wheat here at the opening. Sales for Docember were 1G1%c higher, ‘at 67%@6sc, and there was a further gain of c shortly afterward. Accompanying the early news from abroad was a New York report of large additional sales for export and further purchases of December futures by the exporters. There were renorts of flour sales 1) Italy, the first on record. and also that houses with Australian connecthons were mak- ing inquiries for flour. St. Louls, meanwhile, advised that the bids from abroad on wheat were 3o a bushel higher than at the close last night, and Minneapolis reported that the wheat stock’ ov kand there was sufficient only for a limited period of grinding. Under these con- ditions sheris were forced to cover and the fluetuations of December the greater portion of the day were from 67%@6S%c. Near the end the war scare lost some of its influence, and when it was found Continental markets were all lower and British consols higher, the price of Levmber wheat reacted to 67%@67%e, which yas the closing figure, an advance of 1G 14c over yesterday. A good export demand with renewed specu- lative buying incited by the wheat strength and the foreign situation caused a strong feel- ing in corn. Profit-taking by longs during the last hour caused a reaction, but December left off with a gain of %@%c. The Improvement in wheat and corn caused a general increase of speculation in oats. There was a good cash demand and 1,000,000 bushels were taken here for shipment.” May left off 3ic higher. Traders in orovisions were bearish on ac- count of the amazing receipts of ..0g8 every- where.

That saucy pest o. Eastern citles, and ull Europe, Canada and Australia, the English sparrow, has been migrating westward. Denver has been restfuliy consoling herself. thinking that the jour- "€y across the sage brush waste was too r and food and towns too scarce for «Le greedy bird to risk the trip, even for the richness of such a desirable site for an English sparrow colony, but these are found foolish notions—there’s more than one way in this century of electricity an steam, and even the birds know it. v years ago two or three English sparrows arrived at the Denver union depot in a box car, behind a westbound engine. and estabiished a settlement near the station. Scrangely enough, the bird has not ap- peared up town, nor spread to any con- siderable degree. but has confined itself near the original settlement. Last year it was seen no further up town than Wazee tis street, which shows that something is | impeding the progress of this prolific bird | and standing in defense of the city. | Professor George L. Cannon has been | looking carefully into the matter, and | says that a contest for supremacy in Den- ver is waging between the English spar row and the little house finch, or burion, the back vard chirper which is mistaken by so many people for the English spar- row. The house finch has not the stiff fighting qualities of the English sparrow, but it has the advantage in having pos- sless‘ljon of the city before the sparrow ar- rived. The house finch is a Western bird, and is found almost exclusively in Colorado and_States further west; the sparrow is an Eastern bird. It remains to be seen whether the Western bird can hold firm against the attacking Eastern pest. “The struggle is likely to continue but a few years,” sald Professor Cannon,,'‘but it may last for a hundred years, and as the English] sparrow is more persistent and quarrelsome it will probably come out victorious unless Denver's citizens join sides with the finch.”—Denver Even- ing Post. —_—————————— The German Emperor’s ambition to!| be a soloist will sooner or later cause trouble in the harmony of Europe.— ‘Washington Star.
