NEW YORK, Aug. 24.—The ‘customary ten- Gency to take profits &t the close of a week of riging prices was offset to-day by the buying attractéd by the highly favorable character of the weekly reviews of commercial conditions by the mercantile agencies and by the settle- ment of the Franco-Turkish troubles. The London market was called for a holiday to- Gay, 50 the demand for American securities in- duced by the later developments came directly ®von the New York market. There was some profit-taking before the appesrance of the bank sistement and again in the Snal dealings, but the professidnals found lictle diMicults in sup- porting geices and held the market pretty fohr the top until the close The vnhlle ltfl hangs back, but evidently the hope is entertaified that Monday morning will bring more outsiders into the market, attracted by yesterday’'s greater activity and strensth and its persisténce to-day. The bank statement Was about as expected in the cash item, except that the supposed shipments to Philadelphia were not disclosed. The moderate loan pansion was attributed to the stirring of pool in the stock market, which has developed du | ing the week. The leaders to-day were ison, Erie, and Sugar, about in the order named. The strength was well distributed, but some of the recent strong stocks hung back somewhat, especially the Pennsylvania group, the Wabash issues, St. Paul and Southern Railway. The United States Steel stocks were quiet, but the preferred rose a point in the late dealings. There has been no revival of -speculative ac- tivity this week, except in a few spots. The volume of dealings has been somewhat less than last week, and on Tuesday the dealings in bonds fell to the low level of the year. There was increased activity of speculative bonds later in the week. Notwithstanding the duliness of the market the tone has been quite firm and there were periods of positive strength. Closing up of outstanding contracts on the ehort side was responsible for some part of the strength, thus eliminating a potential re- quirement for stocks and giving promise of even greater dullness in the future. There were, however, the usual operations by the always industrious room-traders to try to reap advantage {rom requirements of shorts by bid- ding up stocks and even to inaugurate bull attributed to Western sources, from which selling had been large on the early indic tions of damege to the corn crop. The sus- tained character of the demand indicated that the crop damage had been overdiscounted by the selling of stocks and possibly over-esti- mated also. The continued high level of rail- Tosd earnings in the region affected had a cheering effect upon holders of securities, and the fine condition of the spring wheat crop have received increasing attention. Last week's record exports of wheat, although not fully maintained this week, add to the importance ©f our wheat crop and reinforce the statistics quirements to be met from qur -surplus sup- ply of wheat. The conditions thus presented ere a forcible reminder of the outcome of last Yyear's mu eting of crops. The development of a shortage of epring wheat last year, which caused acute weakness in the securities of all railroads in the Northwestern region, proved to be neutratized by the very heavy traffic in The steel The were’ not checked in the increase. strike cloud still overhangs the market. consumers of finished goods are placing orders in Great Britain on quite a large scale is con- sidered significant in that respect. Wall street opinion, however, is inclined to a determinedly optimistic view of the outlook in the steel trade. Operators in stocks are inclined to con- tinue their analogy with the:mines. This sentiment may be the effect, rather than the cause, of the firmness of the ings have been emall and insignificant. real pressure upon the stocks came in an- liquidation early in July, when fore-handed financiers were preparing for what they saw was the inevitable. Amply retrenched as a of skillful manipulators in Wall the most seen to be one of confidence in the ultimate conditions. Speculation halts because of a doubt of the capacity of the money market in the immediate future to supply the sinews of war for operations on a sufficient scale to at- tract a large outside share in a speculative movement. moment, but there is no inducement to make large commitments in stocks in reliance upon call loans. Already the interfor is withdraw- ing funds from New York for the annual crop movement. The payments to the field laborers and to small farmers necessitate the use of actual currency, the disuse of checks making impossible the economy of the circulating medium which results from clearing-house cperations with checks between banks. But this currency must be drawn from the cash reserves of the banke, thus contracting pro- portionately their credit resources based on cash reserves. The permiesion under the bank- ing laws to imterior banks to count as part of their legal reserves cash resources which are actually on deposit with New York banks has the effect of converting this annual demand for currency almost directly upon the cash re- serves of the New York Clearing-hovse banks. The pects are that the demand will be heavier than usual this fall. Government fiscal operations are making requirements upon the monéy market several million dollars in ex- cess of last year. The ease with Bank of England is conserving its reservi shown by the maintenance of the bank rate | this week, indicatés that forelgn money mar- kets expect demands upon them from New York to replenish the drain to the interior of this account. About $1,400,000 of Australian gold by way of San Francisco found its way into New York bank reserves this week and $2,500,000 additional gold now at sea on the Pacific will find the same_ destination. Bank- ers profess to have mo fear of stringency, in view of these relieving tendencies, but they look for an active money market. The raliroad bond market has been marrow and dull, but firm. TUnited States bonds were unchanged on the call prices of last week. NEW YORK STOCK LIST. Btocks— Sales. Hln Low.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.—The statement of the Associated Banks for the week ending to-day shows: Loans $587,837,400, increase $3,027,100; deposits $065,148,600, increase $3,520,400; circulation $29,- 207,600, decrease $31,900; legal tenders $77,259,900, decrease $609,200; specle, $152,926,600, increase $1,215,700; reserves $260,185,500, increase $606,300; reserves required $242,037,400, surplus $18,145,100, decrease $273,800. may be chatacterized as extraordinary move- ments, not only through Sub-Treasury opera- tions 'but through the interior _transfers of money. Early in the week the Sub-Treasury pald $1,500,000 and later $i50,000 for assay office checks representing Australian and Yukon gold, which has been deposited at Pacific Coast as- say offices. Disbursements for pensions were large, amounting to $2,091,000, and bond pay- | ments were #1801, These various items made a total of $4,119,601. The extraordinary receipts by the Sub-Treasury were $1,100,000, which amount was deposited by the banke for transfer to the interfor—$300,000 to New Orleans and 000 to Chicago. Deducting these receipts from the disbursements above leaves $3,004,501. It should be noted, however, that the payments for Australian gold probably counted in- the bank average for only four days, while the re- ceipts from the banks for transférs to the inte- rior counted for but two days of the week, The net ordinary operations of the Sub-Treasury were, owing to large customs and Internal rev- | enue receipts, sufficient to counterbalance the net extraordinary disbursements as above, causing thesbanks to lose on Sub-Treasury ac- counts $162,000. The Interior movement -of money, so far as traceable, resulted’in a gain to the banks of $1,245,114, .nd deducting the loss to the treasury of $162, as above, there Hax'on popavent gain’in the week's moverent of_$1,083,000. Toward the end of the week, however, there was an urgent demand for Philadelphia 'funds, which caused the shipment to that city of va- rious amounts ~ of currency estimated at from $1500,000 to $3,000,000, 'If nelther of these sums of money was sent to Philadelph! it follows that the apparent gain on the week's movements was wiped out. It should be ob. served, however, that the cash sent to Phila. delphia will doubtless be promptly returned when payments shall have been made for the bonds for which the money was required. It appears guite probable that the movement of cash to Philadelphia was really below the minimum amount estimated. The loans of the bank were in y 43,021,100, which sum ¥ be regarded as falr, considering the dispo- li(lwn of bank managers generally to curtail discounts as much as possible, in view of the tendency of the demand for money for the crop movement. The deposits were augmented $3,520,- 400, which very closely corresponded with the total of the gain in loans and in cash. Hence tatement was harmonious in this respect. The Surpie. reserve was reduced by the beot: ymnvely emall amount of §273,500 to $18,148,- 00. Borrowers would need, 1t would seem, 16t Hnie apprehension _regard| 3 supply of money for all legitimate mfijecu though doubtless lenders will seek to conves the impression that because the Inquiry for crop purposes has lvw-ntlir actively begun, rates for loanable funds should rule higher.
