Baitimore and Ohic made a wide opening, advancing about 1 per cent. Pennsylvania was activ though selling fractionally lower, as did als Norfolk and Western. The reaction in the latter stock was ascribed to heavy selling vy those who believe that an increase in the semi- annuel dividend will not be more than one- halt of one per cent. Extreme weakness was shown by the New York Central and Union Pacific nd St. Paul aiso sola belgw yester- day’s close Baltimore and OUY made o surther sdvance, but the Southwehtern group, under the Jeadership of Missouri Pacific, showed some heaviness. In the industriai class Tennessee Cozl and the Unjted States Steel stocks were the features in polnt of strength, while Sugar and Amalgamated Cop- per were lower than at the previous day's close. The list showed some further realizing, due to beevy selling for London and profit- taking by local traders. Prices showed a tendency to sag in the second hour, but the publication of the bank statement, which was favorably regarded, brought a resumption of the early activity with better prices. In the final trading there came another realizing moment, however, and the closing was weak, with Jowest prices of the day for many of the active issues. To the conservative element the bank state- ment presented several gratifying features, namely, the decrease in the loan account, the increase almost $1,800,000 in circulation, the gain in cash and the increase of reservs oo ail deposits, which now places the surpl Teserve at §5,000,000 above the legal require- ments. Attempts were made to revive interest in & gold import movement, but they met with little success. In the opinion of experts any serious efforts to bring in gold before tne middle or end of next month willfbe wholly artificial and profitiess. The week was one of the most memorable in the recent history of Wall street. It began with @ further liquidation of stocks, this movement being largely induced by the pre- vious week's disappointing bank statement, & further contraction of loans by the local banks and fears of higher money. That this latter feeling was justified was shown before moon of the first ¢ay when the rate for call money sdvanced to 18 per cent. In the early after- noon & general reversal of these conditions set in circulstion authoritative news that a set- tiement_of the coal strike was at last under way. The selling movement was checked all around and the list made net gains and with few cxceptions increased its sdvantage as the week wore on, advances in some instances ex- ng to more than 10 per cent. Other s that contributed to the general im- ement were the large purchases of bonds the treasury. releasing about $20,000, jcally insuring easier rates.for both call me money, and the foreign trade state- howing 4 large increase of exports. £ exchange weekened to a degree and wae mecompanied by reports of probable gold jmports, but no engagements Were announced.

NEW YORK, Oct. 18.—The statement of the Associated Banks for the week ending to-day shows: Loans, §$865,450,800; decrease, §0,197,100. Deposits, $803,125,800; decrease, $9.214,800. Circulation, $37,856,100; increase, $1,783,600. Legal tenders, $67,277,700; in- crease, $3400. Specle, $154,112,000; inerease, $1,773,800. Reserve, $221,380,700; increase, $1,777,200. Reserve required, §215,781,450; de- crease, $2,303,700. Burplus, $5,608,570; in- crease, §4,080,000. United States deposits $15,- 632,225; increase, $3,912,550. The New York Financier this week says: The official statement of the New York ‘As- sociated Banks last week showed a gain of ‘$4,- 080,900 in the surplus reserve, as computed on $59,960,000 public funds, carrying this itém to $5,608,250, against $15,465,775 at this date lasc year. The surplus reserve, computed on the basis of net deposits, less those of the Gov- erument, increased §$3,012,650 to $16,508,250. 'The loans decreased $9,197,100, probably re- flecting the closing out during the week of uscal negotiations and also the Paying off of ioans agamnst tne municipal securities whick Wele eXchanged by the Government bond sys- dicate for tue United States lssues sold to the Ureasury. The specie increased $§1, 713 800, while the legai tenders were augmented $5400, making the total gain of cash $1,77 would appear that only the aveiaye of tho $11,203,7 cash which was paid for the Gov- crnment bonds at the Sub-Treusury on Friday is included in the above noted gain. This aver- age, for one day, was $.,852,1b8, and as pay- ments were made over ine counter at the Sub-Treasury, the proceeds of the bonds were mwade immeaiately available.

The net de- posits, including those of the Government, were decreased $9,214,500, or $1,794,900 mors than the amount called for by the Joss of loans, less the gains of cash. One quité notable fea" | ture was an increase of $1,785,600 in circula- tion, reflecting the results of Hecretary Shaw’s municipal <bonds for those of the Guvernment, which are held as pledge for public deposits, and the employ- ment of the released Unjted States bonds as security for circulation. The average daily clearings of the Associated Banks for tne | week were $287,000,000, against $283,000,000 in the previous week. Comparisons of loans show that. fve banks decreased this item by $4. 800,000 net, one of these banks indicated a reduction of $5700. The comparisons of spe show that five banks gained 5,000,000 nef of which increased $5,000,000. The influen of the week's payments for United States bonds bought by/the Treasury may reasonably be looked for in easier rates for money as the result of the expected lmpm‘:mem in bank | conditions, Condition of the Treasury.

There was a steady demand for table Grapes, both for local and shipping use, but owing to the heavy accumulation of old stock prices were generally weak and the market was far trom being cleaned up at the close of business. The top quotations for crates were obtained only for the very best shipping stock. Wine Grapes were in free supply, and as the bulk | of the offerings were of poor quality, the mar- ket was very weak at the decline. Fancy Apples and Pears continued to move freely at sustained prices. Peaches were very dull. ‘The other tree fruits had little change. There was a moderate demand for Melons. Berries met with a steady demand. What few Malindas came in by express in the morn- ing commanded full figures, but later freight arrivals sold slowly to peddlers and others at the bottom rate.
