McADIE, Forecast Officlal. e l New York Stock Market. NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—The same factors which caused the break In prices in yesterday | afternoon’s stock market continued in force to- | day and more business was done during the two | hours of the Saturday short session than on 11 day for monghs. Liquidatic evidence and th® bear operations added their selling to the burden of the market in the t lower prices would enable them cover at a profit. The declines which they | brought about in this p-loss orders, which had been piaced in the mar as a precautionary measure by recent speculative buyers. The points of weaknes made it evident that the liquidation was large- 1y speculative accounts. In People’s Gus there is & large short account already and the | demand o cover was large enough to keep that ck comparatively steady until near the close. erwise weakness was quite general and ly distributed.

The lethargy of | Die of Col 3.65s. the Stock market was unrelleved during the | Atchieon gen 4s. | week and the limited activity and the narrow nts of prices were nothing more than s on the surface of a deep and stagnant l. The puzzled brokers have seen one and another cause assigned for the eliminated by events. Last week mont _election and this ion were expected by the sanguine the market But on neither occa- sion was any effect perceptible beyond a half | hour of professional trading. Some positive moven the anthracite miners' strike, but the effect on prices, even in the group of coal carrying rail- roads, has been small. While the possibilities ©f harm to values threatened by the strike are x zed there fs an_optimistic -feeling in Wall street that the disaffection elther will not spread far or will be adjusted before it £oes to extremes. 4 The week's events have resulted in some hardening of money rates in New York and the tone is significantly firmer. Farly in the weel it becas known that preparations had bee: made by a member of the British loan syndi- cate to ship gold this week to meet the in- stallment due on subscriptiops to_the loan, but the volume of cotton bills brought on the ex- change market broke the rate and frustrated the intention to ship gold. Apparently the Eritish joan syndicate is under a contingent or implied obligation to facilitate gold shipments with further installments due on ‘sub- tions in the middle of next month and ember there will recur the possibility of gold shipments. Later in the week it was an- nouriced that New York bankers had sub- cribed to a new German loan to theamount of 000,000. Experts estimate that the country's balance abroad is ample to meet such a subscription by drawing exchange without | gold shipments, but it was assumed that the eriptions are to be pald in part at least | in £0id, a= in the case of the British exchequer bonds subscribed for here, the transaction be- ing in the nature of a special contract to meet | the urgent need of replenishment of gold re- serves. This surmise was strengthened by the | fact that the principal bank among the sub- scribers held upward of $10,000,000 surplus cash above the legal reserve and % per cent of its reserve was in gold,_ As this bank's ten mil- lions surplus makes up the ratio to twenty mil- | Mons of the total surplus of all the sixty-three clearing-house banks, the face of the New York money market is materially altered. London also has suddenly awakened to the | realization that the Bank of England has | acted with fore-knowledge in its vigorous op- | position to the policy of lenders in the outside market and London discount rates have turned upward. The new German loan has as a back- ground the large Russian loan seeking & mar- ket and further British emissions of some kind for military expenditures. It is evident also that while New York banks have been ex- panding their loans to foreign borrowers, the demands upon the New York market have been largely met by interfor banks out of their the crops the fall demand upon New York for funds are approaching the normal. Operations under the refunding law have practically | ceased and with them the resultant benefit to the money market. The question of a squeeze in money rates in New York depends on these | factors and the further receipts of Alaskan and Australian gold. But the mere existence of the question unsolved effectually discourages specu- lation in the New York stock market, where memories are still fresh of last December's money panic. Bonds have lain practically dormant all week. | United States new 2s have advanced %, the | 0ld 45 34, the refunding 25, when Issued, and the | 55 % and the 3= 1 per cent in the bid prices. | NEW YORK STOCK LIST.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—The Financler says | “The two factors outlined in this papers analysis of the New York bank statement a | week ago, namely—the rapid expansion in loans and reduction In cash holdings in response to fnterior crop demands—have resuited in a fur- | ther shrinkmge of the surplus reserve of the | clearing-house institutions for the current six- | day perfod. The loss in cash was $4,95,200, traceable for the most part to shipments of | eurrency by the banks, although they also lost | n the routine operations with the subtreasury. | As an ordinary rule the reduction in cash low- | ers reserve requirements to a certain extent by lessening deposits, but in the present instance {lolr.s expanded over $7,000,000 and as deposits | mctually increased $1,063.500 the reserve require- | ments are something like a quarter of a mil- lion higher than a week ago and the surplus shows a fall of $5,220, bringing the total to | $20,836,175. This, however, is $20,500,000 over the excess at this time last year and about $16,500,- | 000 larger than in 1898. The receipts in the loan | ftem were larger than expected, the increase | being rather well distributed. Stock ex- | chenge business has not been heavy enough to call for the expansion and commer- cfal Interests have shown only ordinary activ- ity. International operations and husiness with the interior are probably responsible for the For all that preésent loans are n the history of the clearing-house and deposits are nearly at a maximum, money rates are still easy and show but few signs of hardening.

The current balance in favor of the United States Is steadlly growing from month to month and will amount to much high- er figures before the close of the vear. The banks are still taking out new circulation, the week’s gain having been $372,000. Movements of Specie. NEW YORK, Sent. 15.—FExports of gold and stlver from the port of New York to all coun- tries for this week aggregated $369,115 silver bars and coin and $32.914 gold.
