McADIE Forecast Official EASTERN MARKETS, ‘s New York Stock Market. NEW YORK, April 5.—To-day's stock mar- ket scemed to refiect the activity of the spec- ulative element which has caused the revival in the market during the latter part of the week, but their operations had to meet heavy reglizing sales after the opening. The market hed turned upward agein when the disciosures of the important shrinkage in the surplus re- gerve of the banks renewed the selling and sent prices generally below last night's level. Louis- vilie and Nashville was the only important stock to make motable headway on the final rally and the market closed irregular. There was some reversion to the obscurer class uf stocks, as shown by the 20 points in Burling- ton, Ceder Rapids and Northern, 8§ in United States Express and 33 in Nashville, ta- Dooga and St Louis. Hsotuing vailey e s renewed advance. Sugar and Colorado Fu‘l were under pressure, but rallied effectively. The banks falled to show the expected set-off to the drain in the Sub-Treasury by a gain in the interior movement of eurrency. Apparently were incurred on this secount as well as on Bub-Treasury operatione. There seem 1o heve heen specis! transfers of specie to Phils- Celphia during the week, which is attributed sizes 50-00s, 60-705 And | ideas in a | Apricots and peaches are in fair | 1 | | | | | a moderate growth | without demur and the protestation by ral to requirements growlng out of labor troubles in tse coal flelds. 'The activity in the stock market gave warn- ing of a probable increase In the doan account of the banks. The net result is a cutting down of the surpius by .two-thirds. Gold exporis are considered probable next week. The puss: ing of April settlements has resulted in only ¢ speculative interest in stocks, in spite of the efforts of professional operators to attract an outside following by ma- nipulatior of prices. The most conspicuous price movements of the week have been at- tributed almost entirely to such manipulation. The sudden spurt after the middle-of-the-week in the Grangers and Pacifis gave rise to some conjectures of important developments under cover, but nothing came to the public knowl- edge 1o explain it. The supposition is general that the element which has been active in the market is made up of Western men, who are conductiug parallel operations In ‘the grain market. There was evidence of a shitt during the wesk by speculators from the long to the short side ir grain and from the short to the lung side in stocks. There have been operations alsu by professional pools in many of the minor railroads, apparently on the general assump- tion that the minor systems will ultimately be sought for absorption by the great systems, or for consolidation into new competing sys- tems. Obscure industrial stocks have contin- ued to spring into sudden activity from time to time without special explanation, or on reports which fali of confirmation. Relapses in prices as sudden as the advances thereon foliow. These arious symptoms go to show that the greal banking and financial Interests of the country, ose operations formed the backbone of last ear's great markets, are still holding aloot. These interests are supposed to hold vast amounts of securities, the products of last year’s combination projects, which are destined for uitimate distribution to the public. Their abstention from the stock market operations is supposedly due to their cenviction that the pres- | ent attitude of Investors toward securities is | not favorable to their distribution. Attention of the speculative public has reverted to ths situhtion in the Northwestern and transconti- nental raflroad fleld by reason of the testimony elicited from the principals in the great con- test of Jast year in a lawsuit. portance itself made an impression on tne fin- ancial world. The deduction is that a policy of coneiliation of public opinion is consiGered | desirable by capitalists. The same impression | 18 created by the action taken by counsel for the raiiroads in the Government's sults for in- junctions against secret rebates, and cutting Of frelght rates. The acceptance of injuncucns officials of their willingness to have published rates enfcrced are taken as evidence of a de- sire to have a legal status fixed for the exist- ing order of t as against the contingency | of new measures of coercion and regulation. les | There s evident solicitude in rallroad cfs over the pronouncement of one of the In state Ccmmerce Commissioners that *'you ca not have competition and you must put soni thing in the place of it.” All of the teéstinony of the principals in the Northern Securities Company was directed to convey the assurance that competition is not interfered with in that erganization. - It is perceptible that these as- surances have created some apprehension in the financial world and that the unity of contrcl of purpose in transcontinental railroad aftalrs was, in fact, mot %0 far perfected by last year's Luge projects as was at first supposed in the speculative excitement then prevailing. No treaty provision is revealed which will guard against the competition of extensions by other lines in the transcontinental territory in ac- cordance with their menifest destiny. The capital increase by Rock Island, and the pass- age of control of minor railroad systems in the territory concerned are looked upon as evidence of projects of extension which necessarily will be followed by other systems. In the Eastern territory the intention of the Gould system to secure an Eastern coast outlet is accepted as a fact, und the alieged friendly acquiesence of the rival trunk lines is not believed by the Wall street public. This represents a very different statc of affairs from the supposed comprehen- sive community of interest among raflroad own- ers which was commonly credited during the | two million zhares daily transactions on the Stock Exchange during the boom last year. The future of the money market seems to rest largely ou the future requirements of for- elgn money markets for the satisfaction of the British Government loan and other Government operations for which it s expected gold' will kave to be sent from New York. The questions of the crops and of important labor settiements, remain to be settled and must be looked to as important influences upon the stock market.

NEW YORK, April 5.—The statement of the Associated Banks for the week ended to-day shows: Loans, $907,223,400; increase, $3,14,- | 900. Deposits, $964,618,300; decrease, $735,000. | Circulation, $31,050,900; decrease, $363,200. Le- $70,5i0,900; decrease, $371,000. 254,200; decrease, $4,128,500. Re- 04,100; degrease, $4,499,800. Re- 75; decrease, $183,750. Money, serve:required Elirplus, §2,040,520; decrease, $4,310,080. The_Financier The statement of the New York Associated Banks last week showed 800 in cash, of which §4,128,500 consisted of specie. The estimates of the cash movement for the week indicated a decrease in this item of | 2,546,700, and the difference between the es- timated and the actual loss may be accounted for either by the system of averages or by the | unrecorded movement of money. The loans were increased $3,148,800, indicating conserva- tiem on the part of the banks, In view of the general tendency of the reserves and also of expected requirements for crop purposes. The deposits show a decrease of $735,000, or $615,900 less than the difference en the loss of cash and the Increase of loans. Reserve re- quirements were reduced by $183750, which amount_deducted from the decrease i leaves $4,316,050. plus reserves. 525, against $5,817,975 at the corresponding date a year ago. The interior bank mqvement of money last week, o far as it was traceable, showed an excess of receipts over shipments but this appears to have been largely due t returns of currency from the South. the de- mand for the cotton movement having about subsided. Crop planting and farm work seem to have been retarded at the West because of unseasonable weather, and this fact may ac- count for the light demand for money during the week from that section. This inquiry is, however, only deferred, and it may be expected to become important as weather conditions im- prove. The coilections of April interest from the Government were notably tardy Jast week and the checks for this interest Will probal all be presented during the current week, so that the operations of the sub-treasury will most likely result in a smaller drain from the banks than was observed last week. More- over, part of the gain by that office was due to payments by the banke on account of retir- ing circulation, which will probably be small for the remainder of the month. . The fact ap- pears, however, that the treasury is steadily accumulating surplus and that there prospect of its liberal distribution. This ab- sorption of money by the treasury and the high rates for exchange which theaten gold ex- perts seem to make It improbable that there will be an improvement in hank reserves, at least until the end of the spring season.
