The demand for this stock was urgent when rumors were circulated that jt was to be the central feature in a vast echeme of consolidation of Southwestern rail- premium paid for the use indicated a large short there meemned to be & practical of the interest and corner in the stock. Reports were revived that the St Paul-Northern Pacific-Great Northern 1 was on foot again and the inference was encouraged that the threatened rupture among the great steel combinations was about to be patched up to the mutual benefit of all par- ties. Some of last wesk's selling had been on the supposition that the death of Queen V! toria_would have a depressing influence on the world’s securities markets, and vhen the quiet stendiness of prices in forelgn markets after thet event became manifest there was some buying to cover shorts as a uence. The early upward movement was followed by a reaction on profit-taking and gsin by a sec- ondary rebound. The speculative world is be- gihning 1o canvass the future again In the conviction that the infiuences of the past have lost their force. The fate of the country’s crop for the coming year must again be reckoned with. The condition of the iron trade is eagerly scrutinized. with opinfon much un- settied and confiicting as to its future.

MI’““M Weekly Bank Statement. NEW YORK, Jan. 26.—The weekly statement of averages of the assoclated banks shows: Loans $841,367,300, increase $10,433,000; deposits 7,423,000, {ncrease $15,635,500; circulation $3L- . 000; legal tenders $73,445.000, increase $349,400; specle $191,710,200, increase §7,057,400; total reserve §265,155,200, increase $7.451,800; reserve required $234,355,750, increase $.98.%50; surplus reserve $0,799,450, increase The Financier says: The New York state- ment for the week was markedly another heavy rise in all the principal items, loans have expanded $10,492,000 and deposits $15.- €35.590, while the gain in cash, mostly in the form ‘of specle, was in rough numbers 37, 5600,000. The resuit of the changes noted was an increase of the surplus reserve of 33,542,859, bringing the total of its cash in the New York banks to $3),799.450, the highest surplus report- ed since February 3 last. The chief feature of interest, as in the previous week, s the great rise In loans. A week ago the record break- ing expansion was caused by the consum- mation of rallroad deals of magnitude, but in the present exhibit the gain is due probably to investments in sterling, buying of whicn has been active of late, and to buving of com- mercial paper, which is coming on the market. The system of averages employed in compliing the statement makes it also probable that part of the previous week's heavy business has been carried into the current totals. The gain in cash reflects almost altogether receipts from interior institutions, as Sub-Treasury opera- tions, including the week’'s export of gold, made the banks debtors instead of creditors, as has been the case for many weeks past. It is notable, however, that of the week's £0ld receipts. all but about $1,000,000 went into one bank. The heavy excess of gold receipts over legal tender in the character of the cash gains {s explainable on the ground that the New York institutions are receiving from their bank correspondents an unusually heavy per- centage of gold certificates, a very convenient form of remittance. The increase In the de- posit item is less than called for by changes in other items, but the increases are distributed rather unevenly among the largzer banks. An Interesting feature is & gain of 3280000 in the circulation item at a time when it would seem there was less need of circula- tion than for a year. It is perhaps true that this is only a temporary fluctuation due to causes foreign to the usual principle covering new circulation. London Market. NEW YORK, Jen. 26.—The Commercial Ad- cablegram says: The stock market was listless to-day but firm. There was little trading from the general list. The American department was an exception. American shares recovered sharply from the depression here yesterday on the lead given by Nw York's close and opening. Chicago, Milwaukee and St. inent stock and with the rise appeared a re- vival of the reports of the Hill deal, with many eircumstantial detalls. It is notable that | ulthough heavy options in Americans are ma- turing the market at the end of the month shows no sign of disturbance. Money rates 2 | were unaltered. CLOSING. At to-day's session of the wool auction sales 12,580 bales were offered. Continentals were less spirited and the sales were irregu- lar and sometimes a little above what pre- valled at the October sales. Best grades wool were in fair demand and were purchased for immediate wants. The offerings next week number 623,500 bales.

The moderation of Northwest re- celpts was also somewhat Influential.. On the other hand, cables reflected the advance hers yesterday only in part and longs selzed the op- portunity of taking profits on the opening bulge. There was also some selling by bears and May eased to T6%c during the first hour, Commission houses drank up their offerings, however, and when they ceased to flow cried for more. May accordingly rallied to 77%c be- fore the desire for profits again asserted itself in any force. This caused a decline to T7c, but the demand was still sharp and a raily to TT%c ensued. The Close was strong, May %@%o higher at 77%c. Foreigners were re as enlisted on the buying side and this had some- thing to o in advancing prices. The erop around. Bombay was re in bad but in other parts of India the cereal, it was sald, was faring weil. Small Argentine ship- mients were prophesied as the rule for some time to come. Cash trade was slow. inactive.
