IT IS CLEARLY AND COPIOUSLY STATED BY A WELL-POSTED BANKER. Henry Clews, the New York banker, says of the recent flurry in Wall street: *“Wall street har passed through a sharp crisis this week without disaster. Bold and- unexpected action by Secretary Shaw in relieving the banks from keeping & reserve in Government depos- fts and in accepting other security for Govern- ment deposits than United States bonds wun- questionably saved the stock market from- panic. The crisis had its beginning in the mendous growth of business, in the great sdvance ic values, in the locking up of large sums in big combination schemes. and new enterprises, and in Stock Exchange speculation on the high level. Meanwhile, the supply- of money has not grown in preportion to demands, &nd the country was doing too large a business upon its existing capital. Either the latter expand or the demand must be for- contracted, somewhere. There Was no ble source of prompt enlargement of our avail demand of crops and fall trade. Our - bankers bad borrowed in Europe as far as possibe; several hundred millions of French, Engli &nd German funds are mow employed in this market; the stringency, as fully expected by experienced men, became keen and at this poini Trensury absorptions intensified the difficulties and almost precipitated & panic, which would have had serious Comsequences but for the Secretary’s timely action. It was perfectly plain, however, that liquidation must come where; that ‘somewhere’ of course, Jling upon weak and speculative spots. Funds call employed in carrying lightly margined stocks were withdrawn for more legitimate purposes, the banks wisely deciding to stand by their regular customers and mercantile bor- rowers, The business ahd industrial interests sireet. These, it should be understood, are in perfectly sound and satisfactory condition. Recent violent disturbances indicate no derange- ment of general trade and no over-extension of credit except in Wall street. It was strictly a financial squall, the result of excessive stock speculation, and not likely to cause any seri- ous outside derangement, although some heavy | Souscs were incarred by some Of the bolder and | less experienced operators. Nevertheless the | nes of the last few days will prove | 2 needed warning to the over-confident. Prosperity is carrying a heavy load: it has been largely discounted by the farseeing men at the head of the numerous enterprises and schemes now in course of development. We may bave a better market later on, but for the present es are exceedingly unsettled. Perhaps the acute stage in the money market has passed, but high rates and more or léss ngency must be expected for several weeks: o come. No safe bull-market fheed be antict pated until the return nt‘qu-np from » inferior can be safely calculated upon. The coal strike j=, of course, an unfavorable element in the situation, though its effect upon values hae been remarkably slight. Very soon the elections will be & feature. This may be re- garded as an off-year, but Jiew issues are coming up for discussion, chiefly those of an economic and soclal character, and the indus- trials are likely to be especially sensitive to such mcvements. The banks are now relieved from keeplng & reserve on Government deposits, and they are also enabled to furnish collateral against ther deposits other than United States bonds. his ought to be ample to very soon afford re- lief and adjast the money situation to meet the Bemands for crop moving and other lezitimate bus uses."

Another car of Western Poultry came in, making the fourth since Monday, and sold off fairly well.

Ranch Eggs show no weakness and the high prices are maintained, but the demand has fallen off so that every dealer has several cases more than he had on the previous day, and if this petty accumulation keeps up it will soomer or later affect prices. The public is still taking Western and cold storage goods in preference to_the fancy-priced domestic ar- ticle, and the former are accordingly being sent ‘put in liberal quantities. Butter is decidedly weak, and the tendency | of the market is downward, though the de- cline s almost imperceptible. Dealers who are liberally stocked are now offering the pick of their floors at 298¢, and posted buyers ::u round lots can get lhem even cheaper than s. Cheese remains as previously quoted. Receipts_were 14,800 Ibs Butter, 513 cases Eggs and 20.800 1bs Cheese. BUTTER—Creamery, 28% per Ib for tancy, 28 Tor Trsts and 2565r3ke or seconsy; dairy, 2215@25c; store Butter, 17@20c per Ib, cold storage, 2216@z4c, CHEESE—New, 12@12%¢; - old, nominal; Young Amerlca, ' 1¢; Bastern, 144@15c per pounc EGGSRanch 43G47%c for fancy for good_and S5040¢.

The market was easier on Table Grapes, especially for the large open - boxes, which were in heavy supply. /Only strictly fancy of- ferings brought top rates. Dealers reported a little better movement in Zinfandel and Mis- sion Wine Grapes and prices made a slight advance. The other varieties were practically unsalable, although offering at low prices. Fancy Apples and Pears continued scarce and were firm at top rates. Poor stock was in free supply and weak. There was a steady movement in Peaches.
