SR ek the omission et the directors’ meeting yesterday to declare the usual extra quarterly dividend of 3 per cent with the regular Wl per cent was en unsettling influence on the whole market to-day. The reluctance of all having official conpection with the company about offering any explanation of the action, or any assur- ances as to the condition of the company's ‘pusiness, added to the influence of the bregk. The policy of the insiders in the stock seemed 1o be let the sellers make the opening price, was from 103 to 101 on simultaneous sales of §500 shares. Some degree of support was accorded after this, although the price touched par during the second hour, an ex- treme decline of 7} from yesterday's close and 3 points from the high level of the year on June 7. The stock closed at 100%. a net loss of 6%. Selling for London account also was a depressing factor, where news of an- other setback in South Africa discouraged re- cent hopes of an early termination of the war. Brisk bidding up of the local traction stocks | was the only notable influence toward ar ad- | vance. Prices were generally below last night's level when the bank statement ap- peared. The loan reduction, in spite of the week's gtivity by -speculative pools in the market, relieved some apprehension and al- owed the surplus reserves to derive additional advantage from the gains of cash on the sub- treasury operations. The strength of the local tractions and a lively demand for Louisville and Nashville and Unlon Pacific steadied the market, but the close was irregular and with the day’s net changes mixed. Theprice movement of stocks this week con- stituted a remarkable demonstration of con- fidence in the stability of the financial fabric and the continuance of prosperity. On Monday, which was the first day of dealing in stocks after the death of President Me- Kinley, prices recovered practically all the losses of the week before, the market opening with a buoyant up-rush of prices and clesing strong at the top level. This movement was not less significant as a de _onstration of con- fidence because it was to some extent artificial | and due to manipulation. Artificial support is | powerless to check general selling by real holders of securities, who act always on their own conviction that the value of their shares has become impaired. The action of the mar- | | | | | | i ket on Monday morning showed conclusively | that ‘there was no general liquidation tu Real holders were confident in the value of securitles. had evidently previous week at the threat of the calamity which fell upon the market during Friday night. The professional bears instead of see- 1ing prices dip so as to afford a profit on the | short sales saw a_sudden rebound, which | forced them to buy back at a loss emphasizing | the recovery by their bidding for stocks. Evi- dently the action of the market was a_sur- prise to_the whole speculative world. Com- mission houses had orders to buy at the mar- ket which represented the hopes of bargain hunters that the opening drop in prices would afford a price level that would make profitable investments. These orders were executed at prices from 3 to 6 points higher than the pre- vious Friday's closing. This condition of affairs added to the enormous supporting rid- faced. ‘ The timid class of holders | | |ers for account of great capitalists resulted | in the over-stimulation of the market. Many 5 | brokerage houses also had had additional or- ders to buy at fixed prices below the market, | which would have proved an obstacle to any fall. These technical causes must not be lost sight | the recovery, ‘although they impair the signif- cance of the fact. Undoubtedly the opportune relief to the money market by the Treasury measures was a dominant factor to steadying the market and relieving the anxlety which had become acute. A striking contrast is afforded by the emsing conditions of the money market this week .and the daily conferences last week of the clearing-house authorities and the devising of measures to meet what had reached the proportions of a crisis. The gain in cash from the subtreasury has been aug- mented to many millions through the redemp- tion of Government bonds, the division of in- ternal revenue collections into bank deposits, the snticipation of October Government inter- est payments and the normal increase in pen- sion’ payments incident to the mid-monthly period. Last week's loan contraction resuiting from the liquidation in the stock market also sensibly relieved the position from the banks. | The importance of early impodts of gold has somewhat diminished in view of this relfef from domestic sources, but the almost hourly | expectation of gold engagements has played its part in sustaining the stock market. The fact that exchange rat have not actually | reacked the profitable gold import point, al- though one small engagement was made, is accounted for by the less urgent pressure for money in New York. A movement of gold to New York is confidently anticipated, but ex- change authorities differ widely in their opinion of the probable volume of the movement. The amount of this country’s unliguidated credit balance abroad has grown debatable, owing o our large purchases of home securities from foreign holders and large borrowings by American syndicates from foreign capitalists. The recent large receipts of Australian gold which have found their way ultimately to New York bank reserves cuts off a customary source of supply for London, and in fact, represents liquidation of London obligations to New York, thus lessening future claims. The Aus- tro-Hungary Bank continues to buy gold in FEuropean markets for currency purposes. latest estimate of the Russial loan to be taken at Paris is $200,000,000 and German capitalists are floating a lesser loan for Russian raflroads. The present abundance of resources from the Europeen banks is therefore not to be counted upon as freed from future large obligations. It is therefore not impossible that money market | conditions may recur when the effect of the | Treasury measures of relief begins to be lost n‘l;.:’iximnd bonds have recovered In sympathy with stocks but in much less degree. United States new 2s advanced 3% and the | new 45 advanced 1 per cent over last week. Stock— Sales. High.Low.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2L—The statement of the | assoclated banks for the week ending to-day shows: : Loans, $865,954,000; decreased, $6,316,900. Deposits, $930,261,900; decreased, $1,071,100. Circulation, $31,088,. increased, $302,200, Legal tenders, $10,842,000; decreased, $1,170,600. | Specle, $175,401,800; increased, $7,446,100. Reserves, $246,244,700; increased, $6,275,900. Reserve required, §242,59,475; decreaged, $267,- T75. { TSurptus, $13,694,225; increased, $,543,675. The Financier says: It will be remembered that the bank statement of the previous week quite naturally fafled to reflect the large pay- ments on September 13 of $8,479,678 for bonds, these disbursements counting for only one day— or say §1,413,279—in the bank averages. There was, however, a balance of 37,066,399, repre- senting the remainder of those payments of | the 13th, which it would seem should have been | reflected in the bank statement of last week, instead of which 1t would appear that only the payments for bonds purchased last week were accounted for in the returns. It is scarce- ly likely that the banks would withhold from their reported cash so important an amount | as the $7,066,399 above noted. The explanation | for its absence in the return may therefore be | that the corporations which sold bonds to the Government were mostly savings banks and that the money received by them for these bonds was rather promptly invested in other securities or temporarily deposited, awaiting a favorable opportunity for investment. Moreover, some of the private bankers who sold bonds have placed the cash in their own vaults. The disclosures made by the preliminary estimate of the movement of money last week, that the ordinary operations of the treasury continue to absorb large sums_of money from the banks and also that the movement of currency to the interior appears to be increasing, are not alto- gether assuring. There will, however, be no occasion for anxlety regarding the situation so long as the policy of bond burchases is con. tinued, through which depleted bank reserves may be partlally restored. The money market will soon be directly relieved through imports of gold from Europe and from Australia and also through Yukon gold, which will be trans- ferred to this center. London Market. NEW YORK, Sept. 21.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram says: The Stock Exchange was empty and business was finished In the first hour of trading to-day. The tone of the market to-day was heavy on the discouraging telegrams regarding British reverses in the Boer war. The American de- partment opened a shade under parity and re- mained there until the close with practically no transactions. CLOSING.
