NEW YORK., Oct. 14.—The day's stock mar- ket reflected nothing more than a contest of pr ;nal operators those not of very large callber. There were small buying orders &t the opening for London account on rumors of a reverse for the Boers at the hands of the Brit emed to help prices to mo ear campaign against Brooklyn and the stock was at on. last night.

Gains were preity generally wiped out after the publica- tion of U bank statement, but covering by the s brought some prices a fraction above he decrease of over @ mil- s of the banks was a dls- eppoint 1s experts had figured on an in- crease of about that much. Had it not been for a larger loan contraction than had been looked for the plus reserves, would have been wiped out. Extra dishursements by the Government during the week, on account of the deficit of the Postoffice Department and on account of pensions, had offset the drain on account of revenue payments o that the banks have lost nothing to the gub-treasury on routine operation. This s not expected to continue this week and not much confidence s felt that the Government interest to be pald on Monday in anticipation of its maturity will avail to offset the drain into the sub-treasury on mccount of the suf- plus of revenues. Nelther is there any hope of duplicating this week's reccipts of gold, which amounted to rather over 33,000,000, with forelgn gold, a small amount from Cuba and from San Francisco. The outlook is for fur- ther depletion of bank cash and additional contraction of loans.

There was a crease of §4,652,000 in loans and of $§,212,- 600 in deposits. The contraction in the latter {tem lessened reserve requirements bout $1,600,000, and this more than coun- balanced the loss of $1,000,000 in cash, thus ace for the galn of $334,150 in_surpl ement is considered to be ts of gold from Europe and the Pe have not been sufficient to meet the interior and to the Treasur: o diminution in the demand for mo erior, the outlook for a further acces- center is not as bright as 1g the previous week, and t the familiar expedlent of tion by liquidating loans fs 11 it is not to be overlooked n that _the anticipation of interest may afford some relief, but | not enough to materlally alter the existing sit- uation. are 1o A rem money existing Hztl The loans and deposits of the banks h est points of the whole year. 3 ure of the case 1 that time mmecrial loans do not reflect the ney here, rates holding only a rage, but the action of in- are steady buyers of paper The next two or three weeks will g0 far toward determining the aver- te for money over a considerable time, as the crop season is ending; but the fact that prices are universally higher and business 18 more active—two factors necessitating a larger volume of currency at all points—sets the usual the a s which is accountable for thi | calculation as to the amount of possible relief | During the week domestic exchange at fmpo through a return flow of money at naught. tant cities dropped from 10 to 25 cents, a tan- | gible fllustration that the demand for funds is | not vet at an end.
