Thie was due to the disinclination of holders to sell as much as o any marked demand for stocke. How far the new turn of affairs in Northern Securities may ultimately affect the market is difficult to foresee. Those whose substantial interests are most at stake were large buvers of stocks | in the flurry of Thursday, while the sell were almost wholly the speculators on mar- gin, some of them of fmportant character. It is {nvariably the rule, however, that substan- tial interests came 10 the support of values of properties in which they are interested in time of crises, without any_ purpose of obtatning | etocks for permanent holding. The same thing was seen at the time of President McKinley's assassination and in last May's panic. The assumotion among speculators in Wall street that the establishment of the status of the Northern Securities Company would remove all the repressive influences on epeculation And restore conditions to the state that was inter- rupted by the Northern Pacific quarrel, takes DO account of the fact that values were in- flated by overspeculation last May and that the events that the then speculation was in- | h M A tended to dlscount have since come to pass, | A or have been demonstrated to be fdle rumors | and canards.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-—The Finan Tre statement of the Aossicated New York for the five reflects a moderate emnlkm ln lbtnl and h- posits, with & corresponding decrease in s reserves. The loan item increased only $4, - ‘Thie. coming after several weeks of enor- mous inflation, indicates what appears to be a culmination of the heavy borrowing at this center, although as a matter of fact the banks are not in a position to extend their commit- menu much further fn this direction. Total | loans are now nearly §947,000,000, a figure never before reached In the history of the Clearing-house. Deposits, which rose $4195,- 200 during the week, are also at & figure of $1,019,474,200. ‘This deposit total ailn for a legal cash reserve of $254,36S, and as {26 ‘Sotar coch ronoried by, the. barks s 825, s‘m the excess is $12,456,650, or $I,1 less than a week ago. One vear ago, when the 1otale of the banks were approaching the high g8t mark known at that time, the surplus re- serve was nearly the same as now, yet {t de- Clined oyer the spring months, despite the fact that deposits were reduced heavily. The fea- ture of the current week was the reversal of the interlor movement, local banks reporting a loss instead of o gain, as had been the case for some time. The money went tor the mo-( part to near-by cities, probably to strengthe: D posltion of the banks recelving it; pending the officlal call of the Comptroller for state- ments. Another feature of interest at this time [s the ruling strong prices for exchange, indicating a movement of gold from New York carly next week. It Will be conceded that, with average reserves of about 1 per cent above the legal minimum, with deposits at their maxi- mum and with probable demands upon the cash | now in hand, the banks are not.likely to follow a policy which will still further encroach on their present surplus holdings of cash. London Market. NEW YORK, Feb, 21.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser’s London financial cablegram says: Stocks were steadler to-day, except Amerl- cans, which opened wealk, rallied on support by the Morgan interests, see-sawed after New York's opening and finally closed midway be- tween the best and the worst.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—To-day's state- ment of the treasury balances shows: Aval able cash balance, $I70,34T,508; gold, §87,240,- Bradstreet's on Trade. i * * NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—Bradstreet's to-mor- row will say: Midwinter weather conditions have ruled with the natural effect of checking mercantile operations and hampering the movement of general merchan- dise and of the products of industry. Coun- try produce, particularly eggs, butter and cheese, have continued their upward flight, the | highest prices for thres years being reached in the first named, while the cereals have remalned quite steady. due largely to better export in- aquiry for wheat, offsetting the natural growth bearishness induced by the culmination of the late rise. Specially good reports come from the job- bers of the West and Northwest, but it s to Dbe notéd that Eastern dry goods dealers have Dooked a large business, limited only on cot- ton goods by the unwillingness of sellers to commit themselves heavily, even at the present advanced prices. Spot cotton is again stronger, despite the heavy movement. The facts at hand now seem io bear out the estimates of 10,500,000 bales, or about last year's vield, and the feeling is growing that it wiil ali he needed if the present consumptive demand continues. The woolen goods industry remains active, despite the strikes in some large mills. De- for women's dress goods is large, plain fabrics being heavily sold ahead. Heavy over- | coatings for fall wear are well sold ahead and | suitings are being booked well. Iron and_steel are active, strons and ad- vancing. Despite all conservatism pigiron prices ténd up.

G, Dun & Co, Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow will sa Along the Atlantlc Coast business was tem porarily checked by tho storm and some in- terior points also suffered from unfavorable weather, but consumptive demand gives no evidonce of abatement. Prices of perishable goods advanced sharply and the whole rll’l% of staple commoditiex tended upward. JobBing trade in spring linez of wearing apparel is of ample proportions anc all heavy hardware and products of ircn fecl the pressure in that industry. Prospedts arc most encourzging as to the labor situation. Railway earnings thus far re. ported for February show a decrease of but 3.5 per cent from last year's figutes, which is fully explained by weather conditions, whil. compared with 1900 there is an increase of 1.5 per cont. BanK exchanges for tuc week at the leading cities outside New York show a gain 15.5 per cent over Jast year, while tho jose ll New York is but 5.8 per cent from the total in 1001, which is more than accounted for by a decreased activity in the stock market. While by no means inflated beyond the point warranted by urgent purchases, prices of pig- iron have made decided advances, deepite the opposition of leading Interests. The prescnce of numerous buyers in the Bos- ton footwear market has not yet produced the desired volume of business, The hide market is weak and dull. Farm staples are remarkably well maintain- d_at the recent advance in quotations. Stock market operations were of only fair size and price changes small until Thursday, when a severe break occurred, on the an: nouncement that the Attorney General would proceed against the Northern Securities Com- pany. Much time must now intervene beforc the legal status of the concern is decided. LiabHities of commercial failures thus far | reported for February aggregate $2,607, g?l«llllm for the week number in the United States a ainst 253 last year, and 51 in Canada -nln.t last year. * New York Grain and Produce. — % NEW' YORK, Feb. 21.—~FLOUR-Receipts, 13,800 barrels; exports ms(m‘s barrels.

Chicago Grain Market. * CHICAGO, Feb. 21.—WHEAT—Conditions were little changed. Foreign news was slight- ly bulllsh and domestic the reverse. Closing up deals started the market a trifle lower, but 20 tame was speculation that fluctuations the first part of the session were hardly notice- able. There .was little interest in the market and the pit was almost without feature. The prevailing sentlment was to sell for a moderate break, but the experlence of short sellers in both corn and wheat for the last few days held the feeling in check to some extnt. Eventually the Southwestern markets began to turn weak, the corn market was affected bearishly and wheat turned the scale and slipped downward. When the bearish feeling was well manifested in wheat bulls had a retty hard time of it supporting the market. tywmcn ‘opencd a. shide higher fo H@WG t 78%c to 78c, haggled for a long ume. then' déclined to (Tt and closed weak, Se lower at T13%@77%c.
