The Financler s : It is to be observed that the decline from the benks Into the Treas- ury last week was iargely due to the excep- tional movement of a retirement of circulation by interfor institutions and also that there can | | be no smaller retirement of notes at least until January, the law limiting such operations to $3,000,000 per month. The movement of the money throuzh transfers to the interior was likewise exceptional. The estimate by the De- partment of Agriculture bf a smaller crop of cotton than had been exvected caused a bull | speculation in the staple, thus increasing the requirements for money to carry the latter in | store and to move it from >lantations. The transfers to Chicago, which were notably large at the end of the week, were mainly due to the speculation in grain at the Western centers. It is probable that these eneculative move- ments in cotton and in grein will spon sub- side, and hence it seems likely that not much additional movey will bhe needed from this | center for such purposes. The foreign e: change market probably will bz affected th week by the active money which will be ex pected to resuit from the low bank reserves, hence rold shinments to Europe may be held in check unless, indeed, there should be urg- ency in the demand for the metal for exnort. Considering the facts noted, the bank state- ment may be regarded as of such a character as not to excite anprehensions of nrolonged a | tivity in_money as the result of low bank re- | ses Should higher rates for loans prevail, however, such rates will of themselves tend to | attract ' money from Kastern and near-by points, thus relieving any undue stringency in | the situation.

T7.—Pandemonium broke loose in grains to-day, and with an enthu- siasm that has seidom If ever been equaled bulls carried everything before them. It was a wila day !n the »it, with wheat in the lead, and as on other recent bulges, an incessant stream of buying orders from the country brought the ad ce. H Wheat eally led all other pits and set such | a rapid »ace that it was a difficult task ln! follow. As has been the fashion for several days past, the pit opened with a jump and dis- regarded the usual governing factors. Bullish enthusiasm did everything. The country was crying for huge quantities and it was a case of buy, buy, buy. Such a market was a great temptation to holders of long wheat and soon a flood of it poured in from several sources. One prominent broker threw a million and a halt bushels on the inarket and it had prac- tically no appreciable cffect. Where severa’ large sellers were making fa' profits, there were as many others taking In all offerings with avidity. Commiesion houses had orders that demonstrated that the public was bigger The regular trade was of the opinlon yesterday that the bull cam- palzn was at an end and that prices would slump In a panicky way. Tips have been go- ing out to sell everythin, But to-day’'s bu ness showed the effort was wasied. Besides the countryman, the capitalist was getting into the trage. And, added to these very strong bull aiguments, came the news of strength a: Liverpowl and in the English country mar- kets. Recelpts, especially Northwes.ern, were talling off. The weather was unsettied and all outside markets were showing correspond- ing strength. December wheat opened @ 8¢ _to 1%@G1%c higher at T5%@.i'sc, cased wif 10 768%c on the heavy profit-teking, but in the last hour of business sulled upward and closea very strong, 2%@:'ic higher at 78%c.

Trade was smalier than in wheat, but cables were higher and offerings temporarily held off because of the wheat demand. December closed strong. Sc higher at 84%c. May opened iz to 1o igher at 68l to 88%c, sold down tu BS%c and then literally jumued to 83, a new record price, where it closed very strong, 1lc up.

Traders and commission houses were large buyers, and the professionals re- placed the wheat they sold out recently. There was continued large realizing, but the volume of speculative buying seemed well maintained. though there were more sellers than buyers | at the advance. The market was very sensi tive. The Northwest reported a decreasing movement. The condition of the Ohfo crop was nounced at 72, against 78 last month. Stocks at Minneapolis increased $00,547 bushels during the week.
