There was a resumption of the upward movement in Federal Steel pre- ferred and apparently sympathetic advances in Tennessee Coal and Colorado Fuel. The events of the week in the international new and con- a: market have given vineing evidence of the s try's financial position. The decline in dis- count rates abroad early in the week wiped out the margin of profits between the interest rates abroad and those prevalling here. The heavy contracts for steel rails indicate a coming period of railroad improvement and ex- tension, and there are numercus schemes for consolidation and organization of great indus- tries being floated in Wall street. Among those for the week are corporations in silver plating, thread, tinplate, linseed ofl, photographic cam- eras, etc., requiring many millions for the process of financiering. In the bond market prices have been fully upward on a large and well-distributed volume | of business.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—The Financier says: expansion of $6,527,600 in the loans of the New York Clearing-house banke last week, obviously in the form of credits, accounts for the greater part of the increase of $6,796,500 in deposits. The gain in cash was only $439,500, and as the added reserve requirements were over one and two-thirds miilions the excess re- serve falls 1,259,625, and it now stands at $17,- 950. The statement reflects the active busi- ness of the week, although receipts of cur- rency from the inferior do not appear to have been in the volume estimated. Whatever gain was made, however, has been offset by treasury operations. There is no question that the activity on the Stock Exchange accounts in part for the increase in loans, but to what extent the absorption of sterfing figures is difficult to judge. The money market has a complicated series of circumstances to face within the next thirty days. In the first place the growing volume of business of a specu- lative character will call for a steady supply of unds. The banks are easily able to furnish this, but whether they can do so and still continue investments in sterling is another matter. For- eign credits are accumulating here, mostly on_merchandise account and becanse of re- newed purchases of American securities. A very slight fail in exchange will start gold imports, and while last week’s engagement of something over a million dollars may be re- garded as nothing more than a spasmodic symptom the fact remains that the present balance cannot go on building up indefinitely. The return of a considerable portion of this money will hasten the period of gold imports, although it is difficult to see how this bal- ance is to be reduced under existing circum- stances for a long time. As the end approaches there Is naturally a great deal of preparation for dividend requirements and it is not unlikely that rates r.ay harden fractionally. Still the outlook favors a continuance of easy money. The changes in the statement for the current week can be traced directly to one or two large banks which loan heavy amounts on the street and are interested In sterling exchange opera- tions. THE LONDO! MARKET. NEW YORK, Dec. 8.—The Evening Post's London financial cablegram says: The stock markets here opened dull to-day, but the latter, with the exception of Central Pacific, closed at a_ slight improvement. repaid by the market to the bank to-day, but money was easy notwithstanding this, and the London market rate was 3% per cent. There was a further heavy gold movement from the bank. It was not made known, how- ever, during business hours and will cause sur- prise to the market. It is generally belleved that, although gold {5 going to Germany, much of the present withdrawal on German account has really entered recently into variousex- tensive financlal schemes with Russian com- panies for whom Germany had specially con- tracted to supply a certain portion of the capi- tal in gold. This is not costing Berlin dearly.

CHICAGO, Dec. 3.—Considering that Liver- Tool showed closing declines of %@%d North- west receipts gave no signs of falling off and the opening in wheat was stronger than might have been expected. May started only a shade under yesterday's closing price at 66%@66ie, and atter a few moments’ hesitation advanced under a very little buying to 66%c. For about an hour trading was of moderate volume, but scattered and confined mostly to room traders, commission houses having almost mo outside orders either way, The week's clearances of wheat and flour from this country broke all previous records, amounting to 7,485,000 bueh- els, but even this fact failed to stimulate trad- ing to any appreciable extent, and before 11 o'clock the market began to suffer from the lack of interest and prices slowly declined. Shortly before the close May' touched 66¥c. This was about “‘put” price and some buying to protect privileges gave a little better tone to the last few minutes of trading, the market closing fairly steady at 66%c. There was a good trade in corn and the market for most of the session was quite firm, December particularly. The market eased off late in the day on colder weather west and prospects for a freer country movement. May closed unchanged. The market for oats was rather weak wes .narrow. May throughout. The range closed #@%c lower. The continued heavy receipts of hogs af- tected provisions and the market showed weak- ness for the first time this week.
