Mail reports from New York say: ““There prevails a strong feeling on nuts and several descriptions of fruits. At the moment Tarragona almonds furnish the chief fegture, with holders firm in their ideas at 12%e. There are reported inquiries from Interior mar- kets covering considerable parcels, with bids somewhat under the market. The strong ad- vices from the primary markets quoting the equivalent of 12%c cost laid down on old crop for prompt shipment, and ‘he same basis for [ shipment on new. with no quotation for September, have had & stiffening effect on holders, and the market closes with an upward tiendency. California almonds show littie feature at the moment. It is reported that efforts are being made by speculative interests here to purchase contracts on the new crop, | and eeveral tempting offers are said to have been declined. In filberts spot is showing firmness, with few Offerings available at 8%c for spot. For prompt shipment from the other | eide up to 9%c coet laid down Is quoted by | cable. WaMuts are attracting a little more attention and all descriptions show firmness, with occasional sales. Shelled almonds are strongly held. “In fruits we note a steady feeling on rais- | ins, with loose epot held at 7c. Seeded is in | moderate demand, but the reduction of stocks | carried on the coast has increased the firm- ness here. Holders quote generally 8%e for cholce and 8%c to ¢ for fancy in 1-1b cartons. | Imported raisins are steady. In prunes spot is firmly held at 6%c to 7c for 40-50s in 25-1b boxes. The chief interest is for export sc- count and the genmeral movement has been good. On 60-70s holders quote 5iec, and on 70-80s Bc. The latter size is sald to be closely cleaned up. The domestic demand is jobbing in character. Oregon prunes are closely held, but at the moment there does not appear any special interest. Om futures Californias are held on & steady basis, with 2ic four-size basis quoted on Santa Claras, October ship- ment. On the large sizes up to 34 premium is asked. Occasional business is reported put through and there appears to be a somewhat more liberal percentage of the large sizes offered. In outside fruit we hear of no im- portant change. Locai buying interest is light. Ir epricots the general feeling in the absence of demand is quiet. Currants are without spe- clal feature. Holders quote 4le to 4%c for fine Amalias uncieaned in barrels. Bids of a shade under 4lc are reported here on round lots. The market abroad is reported without epecial change. Brazil nuts are in fair re- quest. ““A private letter from a prominent prune in- terest on the coast says: “We now have in our office & man from Bordeaux, France, who is about to buy ten carloads of old prunes— San Josguin Valley fruft—which he will ship back renovated and pass off as new goods. It looks like we will get a 8¢ basis on Santa Clara four sizes in bags if the demand keeps up. The farmers won't be touched at any. ‘where lese than 28%;c on the four sizes and a stiff premium on 40-50e. Weather Report. (120th Meridian—Pacific Time.)

STOCK AND BOND EXCHANGE. n % EASTERN MARKETS. i | New York Stock Market. NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—Tho interest in to- Aay’s stock market was rather languid, in spite of some brisk operations on the part of spec- uiative pools and a eubstantial increase fn the surplus reserves of the banks, which is usually made a signal for an upward movement of stocks. It did not escape notice, however, that the actual reserves of the banks failed to show the expected small improvement, the turn in the tide of the sub-Treasury operations having taken up entirely the contribution to the money market made earller in the week, so that ihe cash of the banks was decreased some $377,- 800. The contraction in the loans of $10,460,100 shows that the funds which supplied the stock market during the week came from the trust companies and from proceeds of borrowing abread, which had been supposed. The action of the banks in reducing their loan account is in expectation of a demand from Which has evidently set In for the season mon deciston to postpone the dissolution of the Southern Railway voting trust by refraining from the declaration of the dividend on the preferred stock had only a slightly depressing effect upon that company’s stocks, as it is supposed to be a sfep toward the completion of the arrangement with the Louisville and Nash- ville. Colorado Fuel and Iron was erratic and ame Weaker after an early advance. Tho newly arrived operator whose buying advanced Southern Pacific published extensive announce- ments to explain the faith that was in him, and the demand for Pennsylvama was supposed to come from the same source. The moderate advances that followed these movements and the publication of ths bank statement met sell- ing to realize and the market closed Irregular. A somewhat vacillating sentiment regarding the speculative outlook has been reflected by the fluctuations in prices of the stock market during the week. Confidence has continued un- abated over the prosperity of the general con- ditions in the country, but solicitude has been manifested at different times over the resources of the money market to carry the present ex- panded credits through the period of expanded circulation of money in the country. The re- turn to New York of J. P. Morgan after an extended vacation gave rise to a revival of spec- ulative animation which was followed by sharp reactions. As there has been speculation for some time past over the expected devei.rments to follow Mr. Morgan's return, and as those developments were not announced immediately, 2:: realizing of profiis was & natural conse: ence, according custom. of ve buyers. There can be Ro doubt tnat ther are settlements outlined of _im; which have awaited Mr., Morgan advice and which wili' have important effect on financial affairs, but the hopes professed in speculative quarters of the rapidity and scope of these decislons were somewhat ab- surd. It is evident also that the speculation has already partly, if mot wholly discounted the effect of some of these Drojects. The be- licf that the anthracite coal miners’ etrike would be immediately settled by Mr. Morgan's presence was disappointing. The faith was strong in Wall street that the end of this | the short interest is now very large. w struggle 1s ing, and that the suspen- sion of mining is not likely to extend into the feason of demand for winter supplies. The undecided situation in which Loulgvllla and Nashville has rematned ever since the passage of Sontrol in the speculative buying of tho stock stock with J. P, Morgun & Co. for settlement, is not likely fo endure much longer. Dbeen an important fnfluence in the market, not only on that stock, but in the whole Southern fleld, as it is expected that a comprehensive readjustment of railroad relations in that field will be involved. The entry of the St. Louls and San Francisco into that fleld is supposed to enter into the firal settlement, and the movements of the Gould stocks have suggested the possibility that they are also involved, It is evident also that the situation caused by the impairment in the health of ihe president of the United States Steel Corporation com- manded the carly attention Jf the leading spirit in the combination. Mr, Moigan's active re- sumption of the direction of the far reaching affairs which he commands was therefore an Important incident in the financlal world and was clearly reflected in the stock market, There Was also an easier tone developed in the money market after a slight flurry on Monday as a consequence of the unfavorable bank state- ment of last Saturday. The source of the re- lief to the money market was not obvious. It was alleged at first to be due to funds attract- ed from the interior by the higher rates pre- vajling here, but this view was regarded with scepticism in view of the active money mar- kets of the interior, and the transfer of some funds from New York to interior polnts. The more likely explanation was that the New York trust companies were placing funds in the local market and thus relieving the pressure | There was also | on the clearing house banks, large transfer of credits to foreigners early in the week, but as the money rate here relaxed the forelgn exchange hardened and the offer- ings of finance bills in the exchange market di- minished markedly. The fact that a further 20 per cent instaliment of subscriptions on the $160,000,000 British loan comes due in London on September 4, the talk of an early issue of a Transvaal loan’ in London, and & report that the French Government will issue soon a new loan of $260,000,000, were additional influences in hardening the exchange market, in_which London also sold stocks here steadily all week. The movement of currency to the interlor is expect- ed to develop suddenly into large proportions as soon as it sets in, and the transfers through the sub-Treasury on Wednesday and Thursday and Friday were regarded as probably the ini- | tiation of the movement. Last year the course of the current changed in the week ending Au- gust 17, when the interfor gained less than $500,000, s was the case in the following week, But in the week ending August 31, the interior sained $3,424,000 at the expense of New York, and varying sums every week thereafter until November 2, when the current turned again. In the week ending September 14, the course of events was interrupted by the assessination of President McKinley, and heavy liquidation was precipitated. The bond market was unsettled this week by the reduction of the yearly Interest disburse- ments on the Central of Georgia first income bonds from 5 to 3 per cent, and resulting active liquidation. in_the speculative issues.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—The weekly state- ment of averages of the Assoclated Banks shows: Loans, $018,087,900; decrease, $10,460, | 100 Deposits, $048,269,600; decrease, $1,97¢ 200, Cireulation, $32,414,900; increase, $309,- 1800, Legal tenders, $75,245,600; decrease, $1,- |101,500. Specie, $121,562,200; increase, $124,200. | Reserve, $246,810,800; decrease, $377,300. Re- serve required, $237,067,430; decrease, $2,004,- 050. Surplus, $0,743,350; increase, $2,616,750. The Financler says: The striking feature of the official statement of the New York Associated Banks last week was the reduction | of $10,460,100 in loans. This was most likely | in part due to the calling in of loans by some of the banks which deeired thereby to rectify their position as regards reserves, but it was probably largely caused by the cancellation by Dorrowers of large syndicate loans, which had beeh Yeoently megotiated and which have tend- ed materially to increase the loan account of | the banks in recent weeks. The cash changes | shown by the cash statement again fail to correspond with the estimates, these estimates Showing a gain of $315,100 in cash, while the official statement indicates a net loss of $377,- B00—specie having been Increased _$724,200, while legal tenders were decreased $1,101,600. The depsits were reduced $11,976,500, an amount greater by $1,138,800 than that called for by the decrease of loans and the net loss ot cash; therefore the statement is technically out of proof. The required reserve was reduced $2,994,050 through the above noted decrease in deposits, Deducting therefrom the net loss of $377,600 n cash leaves $2,616,750 as the in- cregse In surplus reserve, which item now stands at $0,743,350, against $18,148,100 at the corresponding date last year, The statement was probably made on the declining averages for cash, the transters of currency through Sub-Treasury to New Orleans and Cincinnati and the direct movement of money by the banks to the South having been the largest af- ter the middle of the week. The circulation shows an increase of $309,800, following & gain in the previous week of $224,900, indicating that the banks are responding to the current de- mand for money for Crop purpose augmenting | the volume of their circulating notes. The | daily average of bank clearings for the week is $230,000,000. This shows a slight increase compared with the previous returns which {n- dicated a daily average of $225,000,000 and tl galn was probably due to ehifting of accounts incident to settlement for the Oregon Short Line bonds. The statement on the whole is quite encouraging, indicating in the reduction of loans a conservative policy by the banks. Borrowers do_not appear to have been in- convenienced by this policy, the trust com- panies and banks In neighboring cities liber- ally responding to the increased demand for money. Comparisons of changes in the ltem of loans show that elght of the la | made a net reduetion of 155,400,000 one of’the institutions reduced thigTtem by $3,300,000, and enother by $2.800,000.1 The changes in specie with the exception of two banks, un- important. One lost $2,300,000, while another galned $2,200,000. London Market. NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—The -Commercial Ad- vertiser’s London financial cablegram says: Btocks were quietly cheerful to-day.
