THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, AUGUST 4, 1801. 31 SUMMARY OF THE MARKETS. Weekly bank clearings show a gain over last year. Silver advanced. Exchange unchanged. Wheat opened higher, but fell back. Heavy demand for shipping Barley in the country. Corn firm at the high prices. Oats also strong. New Rye in continued demand for shipment. Pink and large White Beans still in shipping request. Hay and Feedstuffs as before quoted. Potatoes weak, Onions firm and Vegetables in heavy supply. Butter somewhat affected by the sailors’ strike. Eggs and Cheese quoted firm. Poultry nominal. No Doves arrived thus far. Fruit boats from the river very late. Heavy purchases of Dried Fruit in the country. Lard and Cured Meats quoted firm. Nothing new in the Meat market. Local stocks and bonds active for Sahll”da;\'. Bank Clearings. Local Bank Clearings for the past week were | $25,522 478, against §21,271,565 Guring the same | Paul rcse & point and a fraction. Prices aimlessly for the greater part of the sessicn. There was an advance of 3% in Con- | solidated Gas for some unexplained reason { and gains of a point or more in United States wreferred, American Cotton Oil, Peo- s, Pacific Mail, St. Lawrence and such cuous stocks. Selling orders appeared when the bank statement was published, whether for the purpose of taking profits by room traders or from an unfavorable interpre- tation of that document would be hard to say. The rather large increase in the loan item was not a strengthening factor, but the increase in cash largely offset its effect on the ssurplus reserve item. The selling at the las though | small, scemed urgent and carried prices rather | perceptibly to the lowest level of the day. The week last year. Government Money Here.

The railroad bond market was as far from reflecting any demand for securities as _that for stocks, and was dull and heavy throughout. The week in stocks has been a duil one. In contrast with the two previous weeks, when the Monday morning dip made the low prices for the week, the Monday morning bulge t weck meneraily made the highest. The m: ket has been an exceedingly narrow one, both in »oint of the amount of business done, the | number of different issues dealt in and the extent of the fluctuations. The news of Mon- morning gave promise of a rebound in | prices, in that relief was afforded from the two principal depressing factors of the pre- vious period, the drought and the threatened day steel strike. The week's news from the corn belt gave the first indubitable assurance that whatever efited was sure of the requisite moisture. Notwithstanding the various phases of the stee] strike negotia- tions, Wall street followers clung to a con- viction that the ultimate outcome would be a resumption of work and a continuance of the wide-reaching prosperity of the industry. Yet still the security markets have halted and the “larger financial interests” and the general public have maintained a profound indifference 1o the market. The dominant influence on is left of the -crop to be speculative sentiment exercised by the steel strike calls renewed attention to the propor- tions of the United States Steel Corporation | and the other projects in the raflroad worid which went hand in hand with it and from closely identical origins. These projects repre- sented a progress of capitalization of the enor- mous prosperity which the country had en- | Joyed for a number of years with a_promise of continued enjoyment to help on flotation of new securitles. It is easy to percelve now in far-seeinz cavitalists seized the advantage of vast accumulations of banking reserves to pro- vide themselves with the resources In the shape of syndicate loans for the earrying out of perhaps long cherished projects. On the | industrial side those centered about the United States Steel Corporation and on the railroad side about the extension of the so-called com- munity interests. It was after the steel com- bination had been fairly launched the Penn- | sylvania Railroad bad consolidated under its influence the southerly trunk lines, the Penn. sylvania Coal Company had passed to the con- | torl of the Erie, the New Jersey Central to the | Reading and_the uthern Pacific had been v the Union Pacific and the specu- absorbed | lative world was ready to accept with avidity any suggestion, however extreme, of consoli- dation of capital, that the Northern Pacific quarrel brought home the fact that antago- nism and conflict of interest still existed ‘in the world of capital. Even this quarrel was turned to account ultimately by speculative | enthusiasm as a means by its settlement of 1 further and more effective combinations. But other obstacles intervened—the damage to the crops, the steel strike and the dependency of canital upon a state of general confidencs | for success in vast projects began to be shown. The effort to support prices of securities by sheer force of money proved unavailing. Bank- ers do not feel safe to make loans freely to be used for speculative purposes in the stock mar- ket pending the demand from the interior for crop moving. The sluggih and irregular ac- tion of the stock market for this week affords 2n indication that syndicates and large inter- | ests are not inclined to contest these obstacles for the present and are disposed to let the stock market lie fallow. The railroad bond market has been as dull | and narrow as stocks, but has shown evidence of emall investment demand. United States new 4s have declined % per cent on call dur- ing the week.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.—The statement of the | Assoclated Banks for the week ending to-day shows: Loans, $578,508,900; increase, $10,855,500. the retrospect the boldness of grasp with which | Deposits, $955,912,200; increase, $12,973,700. Cir- culation, $30,672,800; decrease, $64,700. Legal $80,597,700; increase, $655,700. Specie, increase, $2,280,200. Reserve required 8,050; increase, 35, 350; decrease, $663,225. The Financier sa The statement of the | New York Associated Banks last week showed | the comparatively unimportant reduction. of | $963,225 in surplus reserve, leaving this item at 22,15,350. This amount of reserve compares with §29,144,875 a year ago, and it may be re- garded as ample to meet at least the early requirements for monmey for crop purposes. Moreover, it should be noted that the bank | statement was made on rising averages for | cash, payments by the sub-treasury for Au- gust’ interest on_Government bords not having | been begun until_Thursday, and the disburse- | ment of almost $1,500,000 for this purpose did not pass through the banks until Friday and | hence was not fully accounted for in the state- ment. Checks for Yukon gold to moderate amounts were also cashed at the sub-treasury on Friday, and therefore the pavments were too late to appear in last week’s bank returns. Hence it seemed probable that the condition of | the banks was more favorable at the end of | the week than appeared by the statement. Among the influences operating in the direc- tion of changes in bank conditions during the week may be noted the payment on Thursday | | of about $17,000,000 on account of new bonds | issued by the Missouri Pacific and $10,000,000 new Rock Island stock. These payments were reflected in important changes between local | banks and it is quite possible these disburse- ments likewise had more or less influence upon interior bank movements. The gain of $10,853,- 500 in loans was due in part to operations in- | cident to the above noted payments. It is shown by the statement of the changes by in- dividual banks that the First National Bank increased its loans last week by $66,240,200, doubtless in connection with its recent aug- mentation of capital and with its preparations for the absorption of the Bank of the Republic, This, therefore, will account for a large part of the gain in loans by all of the banks shown | last week. | " The increase of $2,280,200 in cash very closely | corresponds with that shown by preliminary | statements of the movements of money during the week. It is noteworthy that the bank return was ‘more nearly harmonious than usual, the gains in loans and in cash together calling for an increase of $13,133,700 in deposits, while this item was actually increased by $12,973,700. | Condition of the Treasury. WASHINGTON, Aug. '3.—To-day's state- ment of the Treasury balances in the general fund, exclusive of the $150,000,000 gold reserve in the division of redemption, shows: Avall- able cash balance, $176,587,923; gold, $101,306,308.

At ax-/%@émc the decline was checked by evidences that the seaboard clearances for the day would be unusually heavy, Heavy pur- chases by a single operator started an advance in which the crowd joined later when the size of the clearances was confirmed and recelvers reported light offerings from the country. The market rose steadily to 6%c, where a consider- able short interest was driven to cover and a further advance to 63%@69%c ensued. On the bulge longs in moderate force took profits but the bulls strenuously opposed them and the market closed strong, September H%@%c higher than yesterday's close at 69%c. News of the corn crop was generally of one tenor—bad. One report which received marked attention came from lowa and predicted that the condition of the crop of that State would not be over 0. The market, however, had an easy opening owing to the weather forecast, which promised rain. Selling for a few mo- ments was urgent, but it was soon over. The wheat strength sfarted the reaction. A large short interest was exposed, and many sold-out bulls reinstated their lines. For a time corn was bard to get and the market rallied sharp- ly. Realizing sales on the advance cauged a decline of %e, but the close was firm, %c higher at 57%c. Oats followed the trend of the other grain markets and ruled firm, following a slight dip at the opening. September closed firm, 4@%o over yesterday at 35@35%c. The provision market was steady. There was some improvement in the outside demand and this, together with higher prices at the yards and in the grain pits, held values stead- ier, although fluctuations were narrow.

A dispatch from there says that the price will be largely governed by that of Corn for the moment. Local dealers continue to quote a lifeless local market, but a good demand in the coun- try for large lots for speculative account. Prices are unchanged at %c@sl 02% for Black and §73%c@$1 15 per ctl for Red. CORN—The situation in the West, appears mixed. A telegram from Chicago Bolton, De Ruyter & Co. says: “Interior ices re- garding the Corn crop grow worse daily. It is raining again in Towa, but the market has passed the stage where Fain has much effect. Rumor places the condition of the Iowa crop at 40, Trade i{s much smaller, on accoumt of realizing. All Jarge raisers in Iowa and Illi- fnois say that the development of Corn is im- perfect and that the ears are lacking.” In opposition to this news a telezram to the same firm says that Secretary of Agriculture Wilson Is personally on his way to Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri to see with his own eyes the condition of the Corn crop. He is very skeptical as to the amount of damage, and says that he has had an extra number of ob- servers at many points, and that according to their reports he believes that the rains dur- ing the latter part of July saved almost a full crop. His findings will be published In full on his return to Washington. Small round Yellow, $175; BEastern Yellow, ‘White, $§170@1 75 per ctl; mixed, RYE—72%@77%c per ctl.

The strike of the sailors and longshoremen 1s” heginning fo affect the Butter market, as it threatens to cut down or delay the recéipts from the north. The feeling is accordingly firmer.

The river boats have been coming in late for several days, and this, added to the strike, Is affecting the market. Yesterday's arrivals did not appear at the stores until 11 o’clock, and were not cleaned off the wharf until along in the afternoon. Peaches were affected and were quoted lower, and Bartlett Pears also suffered. | Plums and Prunes kept up, for nothing seems able to cause any decline of consequence in them this year. White Nectarines In large open boxes are neglected. Apples are now auoted weak, though a fancy Gravenstein will still bring the top figure. Tive cars of Watermelons came in and soid at steady prices, Cantaloupes were also steady, but Nutmegs were very weak under excessive supplies. -There was no particular change in Grapes, arrivals being moderatd and about equal to the demand. Borries were rather firmer, as usual at the close of the week. Lemons and Limes continue very strong un- der light stocks, and Oranges are also firm, Most ot the Bananas here consist of small bunches, which explains the comparatively low quotations.
