Partia! rellef is now in prospect through gold imports and Secretary Shaw's efforts to offset Treasury abeorptione, Bank Teserves are, however, down to the vanishing point, having declined $13,000,000 since the be- Sinning of August, the highest period since February 1. Loans were at their highest figure ©oC August 16, since when there has been a contraction of $40,000,000, This is a very re- spectable amount considering increased busi- mess and crop demands, and strongly suggests liguidation in some quarters of more or less Smportance. A further forced contraction in loens seems probable if bank reserves are to be maintained It is quite certain that in- terior currency demands will be much larger then wusual, owing to the hetter crops and activity of business. Very likely also the re- turn movement of cul will be delayed Jorger than ordinary, which case the local money market wi ve no assistance froin the interior until the close of the vear.

D — I 1 New York Stock Market. NEW YORK, Sept. 24.—After a stormy day in the stock market the close was quiet, but with the undertone still unsettied. It was a @ay of vioclent fluctuations and of many changes in the course of prices. Twice there was a dangerous break which threatened demoraliza- tion, and twice there was an effective recovery. Just @t the last there was some very large sell- ing by holders, who seemed desirous of taking advantage of the vigorous rally in force and who eeemed yet to harbor doubts whether the storms of forced liguidation had spent their force. But there was undoubtedly & very gen- eral sentiment et the close that the position of the banks had been cffectually strengthened and that the violent logn contraction might have reached its limit for the present. The news of the sighting of a steamship having on board a consignment of nearly $1,500,000 gold ‘was 8 sirong sentimental influence on the mar- ket, as was the sharp break in sterling. . The opening break in prices, which ran from one season our agricuitural shipments are | ssssassssssesgssgsssss the President’s train served to insure the fears | on that score. There was a suspicion also that | yesterday's late heavy liguidation had been | due to some advance information of the opera- | | tion on the President. The consequence was | the present price recovered pretty generally | | during the first hour. The opening rate for | call Joans was announced at 18 per cent, and after & momentary reaction to 15 per cent (he‘ rate soared to 25 per cent. Stocks were then unloaded in enormous volume, with the de- mand apparently reduced to nothing. There | was a heavy slump throughout which carried | | prices of many leading stocks from three to five points below last night's level before any | effective resistance was shown to the decline. | |~ The banks were cutting down the accommo- | dations on call to brokerage firms and proceed- ing with the drastic measures which were in- augurated for recuperating their reserves. The advices were heard from all sides that abun- dant resources were available for all business purposes, but nothing was heard of the assur- ance that there was no danger of money flur- ries. The great speculative combinations | which have taken out loans and bought stocks on margin on this assurance for some time | | past had_ nothing to do but to sell out their | stock and repay the loans. | are current of the extent of these loans for | | speculative purposes, and the closeness of the | combination among ' the speulative interests | which have acted together is not clearly de- | innea but it s believed that the resources to | & | Various estimates | the extent of sixty million have been subject to centralized direction in the campaign which was undertaken. The action of the banks this week marked the abandon- | ment of the hope that had been entertained that measures for relief by the Treasury De- | partment and the automatic relief of gold ex- | | ports would eave the situation through the crop-moving period. Talk was renewed to-day of an intention on the part of the Secretary of the Treasury to increase the Government de- | posits with the banks up to the market value | of the Government bonds for security, but no | official sanction could be secured forthis re- port. The discussion wes an effective factor in the late rally of the market. Meantime cus- toms collections have changed the early gain by the banks this week intoa loss of over half a million to the sub-treasury. There was de- posited at that institution $430,000 for transfer 10 Chicago and §100,000 for New Orleans. An | effective agency in the rally was the changed attitude of the brokers for a speculative com- | | bination which sold thousands of shares yes- | terday, but which turned to the buying side | | at the'low level to-day. Their operations were | centered in the Gould stocks and resulted in | carrying Manhattan 2% over last night's level. The smailness of the net changes generally | marked the effectiveness of the recovery in the | market. Bonds suffered quite severely in the liquida- tion, but rallied vigerously in sympathy with stocks.

The demand for fancy Burbanks for local use continued steady, but shipping stock was dull owing to the scarcity of orders. Sweet Potatoes had a further decline. Two cars came in from Merced, and Stockton were in free supply. Onions dragged at unchanged prices, plies being excessive. Receipts of Summer Squash, Egg Plant and Peppers are steadily decreasing and prices show considerable improvement. Tomatoes were in light supply and found ready sale at the advance. Green Corn was firm at about the same prices.

Dealers report a lull in the demand for But- ter, with an apathetic feeling throughout the trade. Prices snow no change. Stocks are sutficlent, but not large, except in one or two houses which are recelving liberal consign- ments from the northern creameries. There are about enough fancy ranch Eggs bringing 40c to justify the quotation, and that is about all. Most of the trade quote 39c as the top. At these high prices the market lacks snap, as the Eastern and cold storage Eggs are go much clieaper that the public are tak- ing them in preference. Store Eggs are largely nominal, as very few are coming in. Cheesé remains unchanged. Recelpts were 7400 1bs Butter, 581 cases Em and 25,900 lba Cheene.

Deciduous and Citrus Fruits. The low prices of Peaches have had the ef- fect of checking the movement from the Moun- tain districts. Receipts yesterday were light, ‘but prices were unchanged, dealers being satis- fled to clean up the accumulation at previous prices. Bartlett Pears were in demand and choice offerings readily commanded the top quotation. Plums, Prunes, Quinces and Figs stood about the same, supplies being liberal. Fancy Apples were in limited supply, but com- mon and cholce were offering freely. There are no more Crabapples coming in, There being less demand for shipping, table Grapes were a shade lower than on the pre- ceding day, but trading was active at the lower ‘Wine Grapes were in light receipt and firmer. The canners were in the market for fancy table Muscat at $20 per ton and wld $10 per ton for cling-stone Peaches. Changes In Berries and Melons were slight.

The firmness already noted is increasing, and both Apricots and Peaches continue to tend upward under a brisk demand. The output of both is now admitted by all Interests to be Sonmiderabiy smaller than thought a month ago, and instead of an enormous Crop we now see that it is not so very large after all, In spite of the heavy yleld of fresh fruit. Having woke up to this fact, the buyers are taking hold, uul the result is an advancing market for descriptions. The same principles are um:afl to prevail in other fruits later on. Pears and Prunes are still quiet, as buyers have not yet Turned thelr attention’ to themm, Dut brisk mir- Kets for both are expected to rule in October. RUITS—New Am‘lwfl.

Harrison's coal circular says: “‘Since the steamship Sonoma safled September 4 there have been the following coal arrivals from Newcastle, N. S. W., viz.: Halewcod, 3258 tons; Mount Stewart, 2024 tons; Pellegrina O, 2119 "tons; Lime Branch, 5600 tons; Carmanian, tons; Port Carlisle, 2120 tons; Imp. Alex- ander II,"2771 tons; Ancona, 3866 tons; Neth- erby, 2118 tons; total, 27,676 tons. In the in- tervening _time, between the salling of the steamer Sierra on August 14 and the steamer Sonoma September 4, there was but one arri- val of coal from Australia. Within the same period of time since the steamer Sonoma left there have been nine arrivals, with the quan- tity above named. The quantity of Austra- lian coal delivered here the past twenty days is largely in excess of the quantity consumed within that period, but the conditions for the next several months for colonial importations will leave us by the end of this year with but a very slim amount on hand. There are in all seven vessels which can possibly arrive here within the next four months, with about 22,000 tons of coal. At the same period of 1901 there were twenty-seven vessels loading and en route from Australia for this with a carrying capacity of 77,000 tons. is very forcible evidence of the condition of our local coal requirements when such a shrinkage as the above can be made within twelve months.” OIL—Linseed, 57c for bolled and 5Gc for raw in barrels; cases, 5¢ more; California Cas- tor Oil, in cases, No. 1, 70c; pure, $1 20; Lucol, 50c for boiled and 48c for raw, in barrels; Lard Oil, extra winter strained, barrels, 95¢; ‘cases, China Nut, Der sallon; pure Neats- oot, In_barre b Sperm,_pure, 00 Wrnale O, mataral” white, St ge gallon; Fish Oil, in barrels, 45c; Eocomnut Ol In’ barrels, 83i4e for Cevion and 88%c for Australiar.
