ALEXANDER G. McADIE, Forecast Official. EASTERN MARKETS. | P - New York Stock Market. NEW YORK, Feb. .—Speculation in to-day’s #hort session of the stock market was ewayed by long ventures, encouraged by the statement of the St. Paul Railroad for the fourth week in Janusry and a disposition to take profits. A level of prices had been early established which realize Was very manifest after the publica- | an excepticnally favorable bani state- | tion ment Although the downward movement assumed some force mear the end, owing to a violent bresk of 3% in Sugar, the early advances gain- #d by the 6t. Paul's showing and that of minor | .. roads, wes Dot entirely canceled. Interest was | revived to & marked extest in & number of the National Steel moving Tennes- ted unchanged. Some comment was ex- d by a riss of five points in General Elec- ch was generally attributed to reports of encouraging earnings. Sugars plunge downward was ascribed to gosSip cCOncerning the trade war. Third avenue occupled & more conspicucus position in the market than of late and moved in somewbat narrow limits. A tendency to cover 1n some directions, coupied with free selling in spots, caused & very ir- regular close to the day’s business. Transac- tions were unusually heavy for a short day and ihe number of stocks dealt in simost equaied that of yesterday. Whatever may have been the incubus that rested upon the stock market the last few weeks, it was quite effectively lifted dur- £ the present week. Dealings have averaged y balf & million sheres of stocks & day on one day ran up to three-quarters of & million shares. The eariier repressive influ- ence was not the military situajion in South Africa, for the symptoms of indifference to that, which were indicated last week, Were em- phasized on Monday when the London stock market was in & semi-panic and the local | market, though still dull near to stagnation, was distinctly strong. As for the money mar- sk, the conditions have been no easier : & the recent period of mneglect, and the course of the foreign exchange market and operations with the sub-treasury have given intimations a renewed @rain on the New York money But whatever the was unguestionably the action at the annual meeting of the American Steel and Wire Com- pany. The setting aside of a full years divi- dends of the common stock &t the rate of 7| per cent to be paid quarterly, was not more than had been foretold in some of the numer- ous rumors that had been disseminated in vain attempts to awaken speculative interest in the stock. But the publication of a balance sheet, certified to by chartered accountant, was an anewer to much skepticism that has assafled this company and from the same causes the w group of industrial stocks. Mystery has been the main characteristic of the industrial corporations. The amount and nature of assets, of obligations, or earnings, of expenses— il these were sealed from the knowledge of the public and of the average operator in the me- Carities. The statement as published by the but it served to dissipate some of the suspi- cions which have hung around the iron and steel stocks. The ting rebound was ocor- respondingly resilient, owing to the extreme Gepression from which they have suffered. This Gepression was due to liberal promises regard- ing @ividends and very moderate performance thus far. A legal obstacle developed last year he payment of @ividends on the common ok of corporations before the full years &ividends on the preferred had been dlsbursed. But the non-forthcoming of the dividends had nevertheless excited suspicion and _distrust. The persistence of these sentiments made the bears very boid and when steel and wire shot upward early in the week and other metal stocks followed in sympathy, & heavy short interest was ceught. The bears endeavored to recoup xh!ir‘lu— by some m:lt- plunging the week A fairly large demand for the metal | stocks largely from Western sources persisted to the end of the week.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3 — The Financler Despite the heavy demands made upon the cash holdings of the Clearing- house banks of New York City by the expanding loan and deposit items the re- serve continues to grow, standing at the close | t $30,871,876. The increase | of business Saturday in deposits was $15,391,200, necessitating the set- ting aside of $3,347,500 additional reserve, but as the cash during the week was §,441,100 this | extra demand was not only met, but 3593,300 was added to the excess reserve. The expan- slon In deposits was larger than the ordinary | operations of the week called for, but as two- | thirds of the entire amount was by the Na- tional City Bank, which also reported $5,000,000 increase in loans and about $3,600,000 In specie. the statement assumes a special character. bank has received a great deal of maney of late in connection with its increase of capital to $10,000,000. The revival of interest in Stock Exchanre circles and & larger volume of commercial paper | offering has also served to swell the loan ac- | count. The loans of the Clearing-house ban! now stand approximately at $700,000,000 and de- posits have increased to $796,000,000. The fact that recelpts of cash are more than sufficient | to meet these heavy advances seems to fore- shadow continued easy money conditions, but | as the treasury has given notice that here- | after Internal revenue collections are to be cared for by the Government the question of future receipts assumes a new interest. The banks have received within the past month | very large additions from interior remittances, | these found their Inspiration, fn vart at least, in the liberality of the treasury with | reference to gepository banks. If the Govern- | ment has placed with these banks all the money | that it feels called upon to contribute the in- flow of money must slacken perceptibly. In other words, the operations of the banks from now on will be the result of natural business conditions. It is perhaps true that in this case the interior receipts will slacken and that the New York Institutions will not be able to | g0 on adding heavily to their outstanding com- | mitments without infringing upon the present | | surplus. Nothing definite can be said on this | phase of the outlook, but it ehould be borne in | mind as having an important bearing on the market.
