The | loan item offers the usual puzzle, but the de- cline in interest rates and the known fact that interior banks have been lenders in New York detract from the supposition of eny large loan expansion.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram says: The appreaching settlement has a tendency to check new ventures in the stock market and at the same time to induce some realiza- tion. Investment shares are hardening on prospects of dearer money. Americans were idle, but New York bid prices up fractionally. ‘The argument that is used here is that a ver- | dict sustaining the legality of the 'orthern Securities Company deal would not stimulate public buying, while a verdict against the con- solidation scheme might méan a 10-point drop in the stocks of the constituent companies. The feature was Rio Tintos, which spurted to 43% and closed at 433%. Copper rose only 3. ‘but the market thinks the corner has been | | turned. The leading Rio Tintos officlal sailed | for America on Wednesday, presumably to ar- range some terms with Amalgamated Copper. There was also a rumor that Calumet and Hécla has come into the agreement. Money is very scarce. New York Moncy Market.

G, Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow will sa: Little of a novel nature has developed in the business or financial situation during the past week. Conditions of the proceding week werc Bocentuated as 4 Tule, getive manufactuting plants becoming still more busily engaged, while the downward tendency of prices was nof checked. Retail trade is of immense volume | and jobbers have immense spring orders to fill, Western citles send the most satisfactory re- turns, but nearly all sections_ are enjoying wholésome actlvity, even the South showing | evidence of improvément. Wages were volun- tarily advanced at & number of mamufacturing plants and hours reduced at others. There were few labor controversies, while skilled work- men are in greater demand than supply, Hesftation is general in the markets for sta- ple products. There ix no longer the reckie uoyancy so conspicuous a short time ago, DI aster to one prominent operator had a calming influence and in the case of corn the insignifi- cant_exports cannot well be entirely ignored. Foreign buying of wheat, flour included, is much more liberal, all ports of the United States sending out 4,320,005 bushels during the past week, compared with 4,038,481 bushels a | year ago. Meats have weakened and dalry DProducts are also less inflated. Raw sugar stiffened owing to restricted arrivals, which are natural since Cuban holders await favor- able tariff arrangements and bounty discus- slons affect conditions in Europe. Falilures for the week number 301 in the United States against 306 last year and 28 in Canada against 46 last year. £ New York Grain and Produce. * NEW YORK, Jan. 24.—FLOUR—Receipts, 12,702 barrels; exports, T443 barrels; steady and held unchanged.

WHEAT—Liverpool futures were lower, and the forelgn markets were generally weak, ab- sence of demand bsing the principal cause. Chicago was somewhat firmer, with more dis- position to buy. The country again appeared as buyers, which was a strong factor, and the brokers were full of buying orders at a shade | under the market. There was a large specu- lative trade, and the commission houses were | moderate buyers, though they did a heavy trade | on both sides of the market. St. Louis re- | ported an excellent buying demand. The ex- ports from seaboard ports during the week ‘were 3,639,000 bushels, - In this market there was no change beyond a slight improvement in futures.

Hay and Feedstuffs. In spite of the rains the market for Hay i: quoted in first-class shape for sellers. The demand is unusually good for this time of the year. The interior towns are using more than in former years, and Nevada, Utah and Texas are turning to this market for supplies, chiefly of Alfalfa and the cheaper grades of grain Hay. Sales for Nevada account during the past few days easily foot up 1500 tons, and large purchases are expected to follow. In ad- dition the export demand for the islands is ac- tive, and as stocks here are lighter than at this' time_last year the outlook is bright all around, Prices are unchanged.

Butter, Cheese and Eggs. for The market seems to have come to a halt all around. With the exception of a slight re- duction In gathered Egss on the Exchange the market for all descriptions remains as quoted for the past two or three days. Fine creamery Butter is quoted steady to firm with light stocks, and the lower grades, while not ex- actly weak, are easy and in less demand than the upper grades. Cheese Is still struggling under heavy stocks. Eggs continue to arrive freely, but seem to be holding their own at the decline already noted. There are plenty of them here, however, and it would not take fiuch pressure to send them rolling down hill again. “Receipts were 31,300 pounds, 18 tubs and cubes of Butter, —— pounds of Eastern But- ter, 700 cases of Eess, cases of Eastern Eggs, 9280 pounds of California Cheese, —— pounds of Oregon Cheese and pounds of Eastern Cheese, BUTTER—Creamery, 25@26c per b for fancy, 24c for firsts and 22@23c for seconds; dairy, 17%4@22c; store Butter, 14@l16c per Ib; Creamery Tub, 20c; Pickled Roll, 18@19¢c; Keg, N HEESh New, 11@113%¢; old, 10@10%5c CHEESE—New, c; old, : 13@15e per pound.

Prices remain unchanged as competi- tion is not keen, and any marked advance would be immediately checked by fuel ofl. which Is yet being offered at prices which coal cannot reach. There has been a sharp de- mand for several weeks past for fuel for house purposes—stoves and grates—and popular grades are almost unprocurable, even at ex- treme prices. This scarcity of suitable domes- tic coal is forcing consumers to utilize gas stoves and heaters. Freights from Australia still remain low and fmporters are offering Colonial ucts at reduced quotatioms. Freights from Swansea and Cardiff are stiffen- ing a little, hence very few coal orders are going forward. Contracts for oil are being freely made, extending over long periods, at prices which favor the consumers more than the producers. The former are well aware of the number of companies that have capped their wells, not finding customers for their out- put—this justifies their buying only at seduct- ive figures.'
